The Passion behind the Creation of KnowleKids

As a parent raising two young children in the Silicon Valley and having a background in high-tech engineering, I noticed a need to incorporate our local surroundings and experiences with fun and interactive activities that were enjoyable for my children to do at home.

While taking pictures or shooting videos of my children interacting within their local surroundings, I realized there were so many teachable moments that I was capturing.

I began to notice all of the natural opportunities around us that I could derive content for learning- the signs in the park, events happening in our everyday lives, stories of local history or the exhibits at the local museum or zoo; yet there appeared to be a lack of related topics or books incorporating this content that young kids could explore when they left their surroundings.

I wanted to bring the surroundings of my kids’ experiences home to encourage their creativity and their love of learning about life outside of the classroom.

Fun Family Project Leads to a New Way of Learning

It started as a fun family project. We took pictures at the park, local restaurants, museums, stores and local events and created a simple story to go along with their pictures.

One of our favorite stories was sharing my son, Justin’s, apprehension about waves and the story behind overcoming his fear of the waves,

My kids became excited and eager to read their own stories, and they couldn’t get enough of them. We took this one step further and recorded voices reading the stories. Next, we hired several programmers to make audio books and flash cards which made their eagerness to learn about their local surrounding more enjoyable. Seeing my children enjoy learning was extremely fulfilling for me, and I wanted to bring this idea to other families and children.

Learning Anytime and Anywhere

From my own personal observations and backed by studies, children 8 years of age and younger learn through their surroundings, and I want to provide an opportunity for children to learn anytime and anywhere just like my kids did.

I created KnowleKids to provide all the engaging and interactive content related to kids’ surroundings, seamlessly integrating home, school, and local surroundings into a platform for kids to play, explore, discover and learn. The modern new technologies make this platform a reality.
