A Gift for Girls - or is it a Gift for Their Parents? Special Holiday Offer for Memberships in the Edutainment Platform "Always Icecream"

    MENLO PARK, CA, December 01, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Always Icecream, an interactive educational games site for 7-12 year old girls, enables parents to give their daughters a present that everybody benefits from. With the gift of an Always Icecream membership, girls 7-12 earn "virtual ice cream" in exchange for practicing math, science, English, Spanish, typing, and more. This in-game currency enables girls to purchase furniture and create artwork to decorate their online homes, or feed their virtual pets.

Swenja and Dr. Johannes Ziegler, founders of Always Icecream and parents of five, have gained experience with many educational options ranging from homeschooling to various types of charter schools, private and public schools. "Education is important to us. We both enjoyed quality education in Europe, Asia, and the US. With Always Icecream as a gift for the holidays, girls have lots of fun, but they also learn relevant skills that we appreciate as parents."

The newly created website www.christmasgifts4girls.com provides additional details about the benefits of a membership as well as links to a range of sample games.

Always Icecream was developed by an international team of parents, educators, and software developers who have won prizes in national and international competitions. "Working with an experienced team of high-achievers helped us create innovative and engaging learning games," says Ziegler.

The site is free of advertising, but charges a subscription fee of $3.99 per month after a free trial. Until the end of this year, Always Icecream offers a holiday special that costs only $23.99 for a membership valid until May 1, 2012, which is less than $1.50 per month making it an affordable and long-lasting gift for Christmas. The site has been certified by the Privo Privacy Insurance Program to comply with or exceed the requirements of the Children's Online Protection Act.
