Company mission
Lingokids' mission is to help parents and caretakers raise amazing kids and break down educational barriers to create equal opportunities for all children.
45% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Children learn best when they are engaged in their education, and learning through play is one of the best ways to achieve this. There is a huge variety of games, video lessons, and other online edutainment resources for parents to engage their children with, but these often lack the personalized and formal syllabus frameworks received during school hours
Lingokids develops an edutainment mobile application for children aged 2-8, consisting of games, video lessons, and audiobooks for children to learn from independently and with their families. The application is ad-free and certified as kidSAFE, and provides community and analytic tools for parents to keep track of their children's progress and activities
Whilst there are countless edutainment applications competing with the company, Lingokids stands out from the crowd with its approach of curating personalized syllabuses for children as opposed to one-size-fits-all educational exercises. The full range of edutainment programs and access to progress analysis tools are available for a monthly subscription fee, but a limited access version is also available for free
