Yes, but that's only because a "kids" webpage is the only place that you could misrepresent the simplistic language.
You mean NASA is lying to kids? I mean they could have said climate is the average of 30 tears weather.

"Dr. Eric Fetzer, a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, explains it this way: “Weather describes how the atmosphere behaves over weeks or less. Climate is how it behaves over time periods of about a month or longer. So climate refers to seasonal and longer periods, out to centuries and millennia.”

And because climate is merely a minimum of 30 years weather, climate also changes at that timescale.
30 years as set by the World Meteorological Organisation.

"Climate describes how the atmosphere behaves over a long period of time (typically defined as at least a 30-year period ), informing us on the “average of weather”, as well as the description of other aspects of weather patterns and meteorological parameters’ distribution, including anomalous, rare and extreme events.
