The website is easy to access for those familiar with navigating a website, and areas are well-labeled and cross-connected enough for most novice navigators as well. There were no text-only versions or accommodations for accessibility by those with disabilities. Informational content covers a wide variety of topics, which can be accessed by topic area or by the age or the child.
