Who may hold an account, how a child gets in, and what a child can never do.
Last updated
Little Bereans has one kind of account: a parent’s. Everything a child does happens inside it. This page explains how that works, what a Kid Code is, and where the boundary sits between what a parent can do and what a child can do.
A parent creates an account by signing in with Google. That account holds the family: a family record, and a profile for each child.
Child profiles are records inside your account, not accounts of their own. A child has no email address, no username and no password with us, and cannot sign up.
A parent creates each profile and sets:
Age matters: it decides the reading load, the tone of a lesson and which material a child is offered. Keeping it accurate is the single most useful thing a parent can do for the experience.
A child signs in with two things: the parent’s email address and their own private Kid Code, which the parent gives them. There is no password to remember and nothing for a child to create.
A Kid Code opens that one child’s learning space. Treat it like a house key: give it to the child, and to nobody else. A parent can see and change a child’s code from the dashboard at any time, which immediately retires the old one.
This is enforced on our servers, not just hidden in the interface. A child’s session is a signed token scoped to that one child; a request for anything outside it is refused.
Add as many child profiles as you have children. Each gets its own Kid Code, its own assignments and its own progress, and siblings cannot see each other’s work. The parent sees all of it in one place.
Today a family is held by a single parent account. If both parents want access, share the sign-in for now. We are working on proper second-parent access; if that matters to your household, tell us at our contact form so we can weigh it properly.
Removing a child profile takes it out of the product immediately while preserving their history in case it was a mistake; you can then ask us to erase it outright. Closing the account removes everything. Both are explained on Data & Account Deletion.
