ChildSafe Content Controls

Our ChildSafe Content Controls offer unprecedented insight into and control over the content your children consume without the need to read every book in advance. Our matrix of content ratings contains categories broken down into dozens of nuanced subcategories based on both maturity and values factors. Our controls allow parents to see what factors each book contains, block, allow, or require parental approval for individual titles or entire subcategories, and personalize settings for each child in the family.

Verse Quotations Feature

Our Quotations feature lets parents and children organize collections of Bible verses into groups and subgroups. Parents can assign Quotations to a child for self-study, add leveled assessment questions to check a child’s understanding of the content, or incorporate Quotations with Library Collections for thematic learning. Quotations can also be used with the Verse Memorization Module to assign recitation practice of memory verses.

Verse Memorization Tool

Incorporate memory verses using LightSail’s Quotations feature. Then assign the verses to your child and set a schedule for study and recitation at regular intervals. Choose the days of the week and even hours of the day for LightSail to prompt your child to read the selected verses and record themselves reciting them aloud. Choose whether the verse will be available for the child to read during recitation or whether they should recite from memory. Parents have easy tools to check and record the accuracy of their recitation and track it over time.

100% Oversight of Child Chats

We understand that oversight and control over your child’s online interactions is of paramount importance. We allow parents to block chatting altogether, restrict the grades your child can chat with, view every chat your child is in, and remove them at any time.

How many parent accounts are included with a child's license?

Every family account includes two Parent Accounts.

I am part of a homeschool group and we share teaching responsibilities. How can I access those accounts?

LightSail has created a Teacher/Coach role that can connect with multiple accounts. This is available as an add-on purchase. This account acts as additional parent with full teacher control to all connected accounts.

Is your platform only Faith-Based?

LightSail is available for both Faith-Based and Secular families. A parent can choose to allow or hide faith-based content including Unit Studies. LightSail has created hundreds of faith-based Unit Studies, Bookmarks, Quotations, and Memory Modules.

No, when you purchase a book using our Premium Books Shop, you only need to purchase one copy for your entire family. Your purchase includes unlimited checkouts.

How does LightSail’s ChildSafe protection work?

To this end, LightSail contains an entire suite of parental control features and never-before-seen ChildSafe Content Controls giving parents ultimate peace of mind.

These content controls contain dozens of nuanced subcategories for potentially objectionable material based on both maturity and religious factors.
