GamesMom Research

Independent research on how children learn

Why we publish research

GamesMom is a free educational platform for children aged three to twelve. Alongside the games and activities, we publish independent research to share what is well established about how children learn, and to offer practical frameworks that parents, teachers and schools can use and reference. The reports are written to be useful first, with clear language and no marketing.

New reports are added over time. Each one gathers reliable guidance, sets it out plainly, and introduces original models to make the ideas easier to apply at home, in the classroom and across a school.
