About KidsPlay Zone

Creating Magical Digital Experiences for Young Minds

Our Story

KidsPlay Zone was born in 2019 from a simple yet powerful vision: to create digital experiences that genuinely enhance children's learning and development. Founded by a group of passionate educators, child psychologists, and game developers, our journey began in a small studio in Austin, Texas, where we spent countless hours observing how children naturally interact with technology.

Our breakthrough moment came when we realized that the most effective educational games weren't those that felt like disguised homework, but rather those that naturally sparked curiosity and creativity. This insight led us to develop our unique "Play-First Learning" methodology, which has since become the foundation of all our game designs.

Today, we're proud to serve over half a million families worldwide, with our games available in 15 countries and translated into 8 languages. What started as a small team of five has grown into a diverse group of 25+ professionals, all united by our commitment to creating safe, engaging, and truly educational gaming experiences for children aged 3-12.
