Designed by teachers, not algorithms

Every game, song, and story is co-designed by a former kindergarten teacher — because little kids deserve more than a content farm.

Behind every title in our 2,400+ library sits a real educator from our 47-person teacher team. Each activity goes through a four-step co-design process: a teacher writes the learning goal in plain language, an illustrator brings it to life, a child-development advisor stress-tests it against early-literacy and numeracy milestones, and a panel of preschoolers plays it for two weeks before we ever ship it.

It's slower than a feed of auto-generated videos. It's also why 8 published longitudinal studies (2018–2024) found a 34% improvement in early-literacy scores after 12 weeks of regular use — and why 1,200+ U.S. school districts and 380+ UK nurseries trust us as a sanctioned classroom supplement.

  • Learning goals first. Every activity starts as a teacher-written objective, not a template.
  • Tested by real kids. Two weeks of play-testing with preschoolers before any release.
  • Aligned to standards you trust. Mapped to Common Core and the UK's EYFS framework, tracked in your Parent Co-Pilot dashboard.
The Parent Co-Pilot

A window into giggle time.

Every tap, every song finished, every story read aloud quietly maps to the milestones your child is building — and to the curriculum your school already uses.

Phonics

Hear the sounds before the words.

Our phonics module tracks letter-sound recognition, blending, and decoding against Common Core RF standards and the UK EYFS Literacy framework — so you can see the moment "C" becomes "cat."

  • 44 phonemes covered across 18 playful games
  • Mapped to CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K and EYFS Literacy
  • Weekly note in plain English: "Maya blended 12 new sounds this week."

Numeracy

Counting that clicks into place.

From subitizing dots at age 2 to early addition by age 7, Co-Pilot logs every numeracy interaction and benchmarks it against Common Core K.OA and EYFS Mathematics — without ever turning play into a quiz.

  • Subitizing, one-to-one correspondence, and early addition tracked
  • Mapped to CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA and EYFS Mathematics
  • Visual progress bar your child actually enjoys watching fill up

Creative Play

Imagination gets a quiet report card too.

Pretend-play scenarios, open-ended drawing prompts, and story-building activities are logged as creative milestones — so the "just playing" you see at the kitchen table shows up in the dashboard too.

  • Open-ended prompts scored against the EYFS Expressive Arts framework
  • Daily creative-play streak parents can cheer for
  • Optional sharing with teachers in 1,200+ partner school districts

Built with our team of 9 child-development advisors and reviewed annually by the Diddyland pedagogical board. Standards mapping is published openly in our Educators hub.

The 22-minute average session is one of the most thoughtful screen-time designs I've seen for the 2-to-5 window. The dashboards give parents exactly what pediatricians wish every platform offered: a calm, honest view of what a child actually did, and how long they did it.
