Does it follow what my child learns at school?
Pipsland covers the full primary English and maths curriculum, set out by Barbados classes from Reception to Class 4. It uses Barbados dollars and coins, island places and island stories. Pip starts at the beginning of your child's class and quietly checks earlier work, so any gaps from past years are found and filled first.
Will it help with the Common Entrance?
Class 4 on the island covers the reading, writing and maths that the Common Entrance (BSSEE) asks for: fractions, ratio, algebra, measures, grammar, comprehension and composition. Because Pip fills gaps from the earlier classes too, your child goes into the big year on strong ground. It is a daily practice partner, not a replacement for school.
How long should my child play each day?
Short and regular works best. Pip sets a daily goal by class: 15 minutes in Reception and Infants A, up to 1 hour in Class 4. A ring on the island fills only while your child is really trying, so guessing does not count. When the ring is full, the island's arcade opens for 10 minutes, and the rest of the day is theirs. You can set the goal from 15 minutes to 2 hours in the grown-ups' area.
What can my child play on?
Any tablet, laptop or computer with a modern browser: Chrome, Safari or Edge. Nothing to install. A phone works too, best held sideways. Every question is read aloud, so children who cannot read yet can still play.
Is it safe for my child?
Yes. There are no ads, no chat and no links out of the game. Payments and settings sit in a grown-ups' area behind your own 4-digit code. Your child never sees a price or a payment screen during the free demo.
What happens after the free demo?
Your child plays free for 7 days. After that, Pip rests until a grown-up chooses a plan. Your child's island and progress stay saved.
What if we stop paying for a while?
Nothing is lost. Your child's island, progress and level stay saved. When you choose a plan again, Pip picks up exactly where your child left off.
How much does it cost, and how do I pay?
BBD 35.00 a month for each child. Payments open soon. The free demo is open now.
I have more than one child. Do they share?
Each child has their own island, their own progress and their own level, so a Reception child and a Class 3 child can both play. Families with more than one child can get a discount code from us.
They are only this little once. Give them a strong start.
Ten minutes is all it takes to see what Pip can do for your child.
