Q: Is Clever Clubhouse software?
A: Clever Clubhouse is better than software. Since the product is online, there's no software to buy: new activities, songs and graphics can be added and updated automatically. Plus, online means that the product can go with the child from Mom's to Dad's to Grandma's to the day care center to the library - anywhere there's a computer with online access.

Q: How do I know which activities are appropriate for which age?
A: Clever Clubhouse automatically delivers a suite of age-appropriate activities to each user. However, our educational experts recognize that each child is unique and learns at his or her own pace. If in your opinion your child needs activities more or less difficult than he or she is receiving, you can change his or her level of difficulty. The difficulty switch is located in our Parent Control Center. To adjust this setting, log in with your Parent Account user name and password and click on Edit Child Account.
