Kindertales and MarcoPolo Partner to Combine Child Management Software with Digital Resources

Child and classroom management software company Kindertales and digital educational resources company MarcoPolo Learning have partnered to integrate their platforms to present learning materials from within the classroom management application.

The integration will allow early learning caregivers and educators to use curriculum aligned materials and manage their classes by tracking attendance, messaging parents, discussing daily activities, and tracking learning development, Kindertales said.

The integration was launched in early 2023, when Canadian childcare providers Kids & Company began using the enhanced platform in all its centers. The integration saves caregivers and educators from having to spend valuable time logging in to multiple apps, said Kindertales. The ability to communicate with parents is a benefit to inform families about what and how their children are learning and doing.

"For Kindertales, our strong relationship with MarcoPolo Learning makes great business sense because it has such broad value for not just our clients, but for all stakeholders: educators in the classroom, families at home, and most importantly, the children who let their curiosity run wild with the incredible materials provided by MarcoPolo Learning," said Steven Schneider, Kindertales CEO.
