About CuriousKids.News

I built CuriousKids.News for my 10 year old son, who is endlessly curious and loves keeping up with current events. When I first introduced him to NPR, he asked questions about complex topics—gender issues, global conflicts—and I realized he was too young to grasp all the nuances. Yet I wanted to feed his curiosity in a safe, age-appropriate way.

Our Approach

• Filtered News: We remove stories with violence, adult themes, or content that may be too heavy for children aged 7–12.
• Clear Attribution: Each article shows the original author, source, and a link to the full story so young readers know exactly where the news comes from.
• Background Context: We use AI to generate short, easy-to-understand background summaries. Every summary is reviewed and edited by hand to ensure it’s accurate and accessible.
• Engaging Categories: From Science and Sports to Economy and Art, our curated topics keep children informed and excited about the world around them.

Looking Ahead

We’re continuously improving CuriousKids.News. Next up:

• 🛡️ Build a browser extension that, when a child clicks through to an original news article, automatically disables or hides all other article links on that site—so they stay focused on the approved story and can’t wander off into potentially inappropriate content.
• 📚 Expanding sources to include Nature, ScienceDaily, and other free outlets
• 💰 More paywall-free economics coverage
• ⚽ Additional Sports and Arts articles tailored for kids

Our Mission

CuriousKids.News is more than just a news site—it’s a place where children can safely explore the world’s events, build media literacy, and satisfy their curiosity without feeling overwhelmed. We believe informed children grow into engaged, thoughtful adults.
