Miao Kids

MiaoKids offers a play-based learning system that merges physical toys with digital content to teach children aged 2-8. The company provides interactive educational toys and applications focused on subjects like mathematics, logical thinking, and English, drawing on Montessori education theory. The core product consists of an application, a smart pad, and physical blocks that interact with games and lessons on a connected device.

The company's apps, which include MiaoKids Logic, MiaoKids Wonder Math, and MiaoKids English, feature over 500 games and are designed with input from early education experts, including some from Harvard University. In 2019, MiaoKids launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund its interactive toy, raising over $45,000. The team includes CEO Sun Bo, a graduate of Peking University's Guanghua Institute; Wang Heran, a Master from the Chinese Academy of Sciences who oversees product and supply chain; and Zhou Sailing, a Tsinghua University Master.

Another distinct but related entity is "Miaomiao," a Canadian brand founded in 2018 by Lofty Sky Entertainment, which focuses on teaching Mandarin Chinese to preschoolers through an animated TV series and a suite of apps. This product line features characters like Miaomiao, a four-year-old Chinese Canadian girl, and her friends. The apps and shows are designed to create an engaging, story-driven environment for early language acquisition. The team behind Miaomiao consists of parents, teachers, and language experts who aim to provide a safe, ad-free, and COPPA-compliant platform for children.
