Company Overview

The Children’s Educational Network (CEN) is dedicated to safely opening up the incredible educational power of the internet to children. Founded in 2004 by CEO Greg Writer, CEN is a maker of software that provides a safer Web browsing experience and meaningful tools to accelerate learning. The company is dedicated to educating children on several levels, including Internet safety, traditional education and financial literacy.

A longtime proponent of entrepreneurism and new technologies, Writer started the company when he realized his own children were being inadvertently subjected to inappropriate content online. CEN developed the world’s first private-label browser, enabling kids to surf pre-approved sites and explore the Internet in a safe environment. In 2008, The company’s Shrek Browser won a 2008 iParenting Media Award for software and features an Internet filter, parental safety controls, safe email, chore reminders, encouraging words and talking animated characters.

Club TUKI

CEN is also the company behind TUKI (The Ultimate Kids Network), an online community for children that rewards kids for educational game play and enables them to grow their virtual bank accounts or spend the “Tuki Moola” they earn on auctions with prizes like books, clothing, MP3 players and gaming systems. Writer conceptualized Club Tuki after realizing that his college-aged daughter didn’t balance her checkbook because she had never been taught as a child how to responsibly manage her own finances. Club Tuki provides a safe environment for online play where children can have fun while learning the financial skills they will need as adults.

Relationships

In keeping with its vision of empowering parents and children with proper Internet safety tools and practices while promoting education, the Children’s Educational Network has established key relationships with Tutor.com to provide free online tutoring for premium Club Tuki members; Dreamworks Inc. to distribute the Shrek Browser for Kids; and HomeSchool Inc., the Miss America Organization and the National Crime Prevention Council to promote internet safety.
