The Ultimate List of YouTube Learning Channels for Kids

As a homeschooling mom whose family lives on a fairly tight budget, I am always looking for more free or low cost educational resources. YouTube is one of my favorites. There are videos on just about every topic under the sun, and there are tons of educational channels specifically made for kids. Here are all the educational channels I could find, organized by subject. And please let me know if I'm missing any great channels, I would love to keep adding to this list!

*Disclaimer: I cannot personally vouch for all the content on all these channels (especially considering that values and needs vary from family to family). As a parent, it's important to preview videos before showing them to your kids.
