"Equal opportunity from day one": a new site helps kids prepare for first grade
A free platform with AI-based literacy games, tailored to children who experienced instability during the war.
Quotes by Chen Bareket
Selected excerpts from the interview.
We set out because of real distress we saw in the field. Very many children experienced irregular learning following the war. Some didn't return to frameworks, others were scattered between cities or temporary kindergartens, and parents simply don't know where to start. That's why this tool comes to help both children and parents during the summer, right before entering first grade.
We decided to release it for free, even while it's still in progress, because urgency outweighs everything. The goal is to close gaps and enable equal opportunity from the very first day in class.
Since the site launched we've received many inquiries from parents telling us their children are playing and learning. We've also received many requests to add more features to the site — we're already working on them.
Offering a free, practical tool reflects a belief that innovation should also be measured by whom it can reach. Good technology removes barriers and gives families a way to act now.
