What teachers say about us

Heart Icon

We have been very impressed with the array of science lessons and how they can be used with the many different interests and studies of our school.

I love that it is a program that doesn’t underestimate children. Our educators value how easily accessible the platform is and how simple the equipment requirements are, meaning an enriching activity can be quickly initiated based on what the children are interested in that very day.

– Stuart Graham, The Operations Director of Monkey Puzzle, UK

I find Kide science to be a very useful tool with preschool (6 year olds) kids. It is motivating, interesting and made super easy for the teacher. Even with our special learners it has been a positive learning experience.

– Elsa Raittinen, Teacher in the Helsinki City, Finland

We wanted to start with Kide Science as we see how it expands the concepts of science and language education to the wider underpinning perspective of multiliteracy. Our teachers also value how easy the platform is for them to use and how engaging stories are in all the lesson plans for young children entering the imagination world.

– Carol Stancati, Director of the Red Balloon in School, Brazil

Testimonials

This training was very interesting. I loved that it targeted the main ideas and practices in a very clear and simple way. It was also very nice to have a hands-on moment and to see an example of how to conduct it.

"Providing a hands-on learning experience that promotes critical thinking skills is a major area of focus for us, as it is for Kide Science. The action takes place in a fun imaginary land, but the learning takes place in our nurseries for real."

– Operations Director, Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries UK
