Kanopy Kids - Streaming Videos for Kids
Kanopy is an award-winning video streaming service providing access to more than 30,000 independent and documentary films. In the Kanopy Kids section, you'll see only content that's suitable for children, with a focus on ages 2-8. Kids can browse this section freely, and you can set up parental controls to ensure children can't view content outside of Kanopy Kids. Once parental controls are enabled, a PIN is required to exit Kanopy Kids.
