THE IDEA |
|
The idea of 4to40 was born out of the recognition that education itself is not enough.
That it has a higher goal - of helping our children become better human beings.
Intelligent and sensitive to their immediate social - political - cultural -
ecological surroundings.

|
|
THE THOUGHT |
|
Free portal for kids means open playground to the children, without any give and take
business or deals.
|
|
|
|
WHAT FREE MEANS TO US! |
|
We consider that children of world doesn't have that much penny in their pockets to shop
through these commercial websites, what's better than - a free portal for kids. So we at
4to40 decided that 4to40.com will never ever jump into the e-business with the innocent
and formatted kids of the community nor it will invite any third party banners /
advertisements to misguide their path. Plus we have no intensions of gethering the user
information for the commercial use. We hope it will make the 4to40.com more comfortable to
our tiny-tots.

TEAM |
|
As the name says - 4to40 means covering all the age groups falling between 4yrs to 40yrs.
Developing a website for kids was not a new idea for Manpreet. Manpreet have worked for
some known organizations as a Computer faculty, but after 4to40 it become hard to save
time for the website. Manpreet's husband 'Amarjeet Malik' - a software engineer working
with a MNC has been real help to 4to40. In free time, Amarjeet draw the sketches for the
contents and helps Manpreet in debugging the ASP codes. That's all in the team so far.
Manpreet says "Smaller the team, smaller time for conflicts in ideas."

If boring summer holidays are driving your children up the wall, switch on your PC
"Summer time, and the living is easy," sang Ella Fitzgerald. She would have sung
it differently were she to be a mother today, with two kids Gen-X kids to take care of.
After a school year packed with regular classes, tuitions, and hobby classes on everything
from tap dance to Tai Chi, children suddenly find themselves caught in a vacuum called the
summer holidays. "I'm borrrrreeeeddddd!" they shriek. And parents everywhere
cringe in fear.
Until now, that is. More and more parents have begun to realise that the Internet may be
the answer to a child's ennui.....
4 to 40.com, the brainchild of
Manpreet Malik, sensitises children to their immediate socio-political-cultural-ecological
surroundings. It includes in-depth sections on India, her stories and legends, along with
interesting features that attempt to introduce children to their culture and heritage.
There's also a lot of information on children's books in all major Indian languages
including Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Oriya and even Urdu. My favourite
section was the one on street games like Gilli Danda, Kabbadi, Latoo and Goli, with some I
hadn't heard of before -- Ikri-Dukri and Oonch Neech Ka Papada.
