Parents, please note, it is highly suggested that you monitor your child’s time on the internet. The following sites are kid friendly, and many of them are recommended by other homeschool families. However, this will not prevent a child from surfing to another potentially hazardous site. Please notify CHB if you find anything offensive or inappropriate, so that we may remove the web link from this page. In addition, if you have other websites that you think others may like, please post the web address on the group forum and we can add it to this page. Thanks!
