About Kide Science

Their innate curiosity drives them to explore and experiment, which is why our early education approach transforms STEAM concepts into inquiry-driven, play-based learning experiences. Every lesson is an adventure!

Our Story

Based on years of research from the University of Helsinki, Kide Science’s innovative model emphasizes playful inquiry, cultivating creative problem-solving skills, and fostering a love for exploration. Instead of learning facts, we believe that children’s conceptual understanding develops over time. When playing, children develop their knowledge in contexts that are meaningful to them.

In 2023, Kide Science joined Accelerate Learning’s suite of STEAM education solutions, expanding our mission to enhance early inquiry skills globally. Together, we strive to nurture a generation of innovative thinkers and passionate learners.

Kide empowers children to explore, experiment, and create meaning through play—building the problem-solving and creative thinking skills they’ll need for the future. Our approach blends play-based and inquiry-based learning to spark deeper STEAM understanding from the start.

Explore the principles that inspire our playful inquiry approach to meaningful learning.

We put learners and educators first

We design every experience with our customers in mind — from students to teachers to families. Our goal is to understand their needs deeply and create solutions that truly support and inspire them.

We listen and improve through feedback

We actively seek feedback from those we serve. Listening helps us understand real challenges, co-create better solutions, and ensure that every voice has the chance to shape our work.

We solve problems together

We work lean and collaboratively, gathering as a community to address challenges. By supporting each other, we deliver higher quality outcomes — faster and more equitably.

We stay rooted in our mission and strategy

Everything we do connects back to our mission and strategic goals. This shared direction helps us make informed decisions, stay focused, and move forward together.

We ground our work in research

Our work is guided by the latest research in science education and pedagogy. We believe every learner deserves access to the most effective, evidence-based practices — and we’re committed to learning continuously as we grow.

We are data-driven

Just as we aim to foster critical thinking in young learners, we model that mindset ourselves. We experiment bravely, reflect openly, and learn quickly. Everyone’s insights are welcome — share ideas freely, test them collaboratively, and grow with the data.
