Desk research from the maker's own pages. Not yet tried by us. Checked 2026-10-24.
A preschool-to-early-elementary app from Edoki Academy, now operated by Bayard, with over 1,000 activities that follow Montessori ideas. Kids work through sound games, letter tracing, phonics and reading, counting and early addition with Montessori-style materials, science, pre-coding, art, music and practical-life tasks like watering plants. Children move at their own pace and errors are self-corrected. It also has audio stories, AR pets and seven app languages.
Our take: A good structured choice for families drawn to Montessori learning at ages 3-7; check which plan the trial converts to before starting it.

Data and privacy
Edoki says its apps do not actively collect children's personal information but use Mixpanel and Google Analytics for internal analytics; it is in PRIVO's COPPA Safe Harbor program. It deletes account data after two years of inactivity. Read the privacy policy.
Does it work?
The maker's own claims only; we found no independent study. It says activities are designed by certified Montessori teachers.
