As you first log on to the Internet the first page you see is your home page.

Many adults set their home page to read the latest news, play games and check the weather. Kids can do this too. They can start surfing at a site they like right away and parents can relax and know it’s okay.

One nice thing about these homepages for your kids-you know they are safe and they won’t be seeing anything you’d rather them not see or read.
