Google Play Store to launch 'Teach approved' children-friendly app section

With a lot of parents having their children at home right now, there is a need to keep the young ones entertained when they aren't doing schoolwork or chores. Google hopes to help out with a new Kids section in the Play Store. The apps in the said section will be "Teacher approved," and Google claims these have been rated by teachers and meet the company's quality standards. The apps are evaluated based on how age-appropriate they are, the quality of experience, enrichment, and delight. Google also adds more information about whether the app will be right for their kid. It's first launching in the US, with international countries getting it in the coming months. We're hoping it arrives here sooner than later.
