Accelerate Learning’s Kide Science partners with ILT Education to strengthen STEM education in kindergartens and preschools across Europe

HELSINKI – Jan. 23, 2025 – Kide Science has partnered with ILT Education to expand access to innovative, play-based STEM learning in European kindergartens and preschools. Through this collaboration, ILT Education will be a reseller of the Kide Science program in Europe.

Kide Science is a research-based STEM program that combines storytelling, play-based activities, and hands-on experiences to engage young learners. It aligns with early childhood development milestones, ensuring that children develop essential skills while having fun.

“We are excited to expand our offerings into STEM education through our partnership with Kide Science,” said Jakob Skogholm, CEO at ILT Education. “STEM education resources are in high demand in schools, but many resources don’t bring the learning to a young child’s level. With Kide Science, we can offer highly effective tools and lessons to introduce STEM concepts in engaging and developmentally appropriate ways.”

Kide Science was founded in Finland and is based on years of academic research at the University of Helsinki. The program currently reaches more than 1 million children in over 30 countries.

“Kide Science’s play-based approach to STEM has been a driving force behind its adoption in schools worldwide,” said Sari Hurme-Mehtälä, co-founder and managing director of Kide Science at Accelerate Learning. “In North America, Kide is now in several U.S. states, and we recently partnered with Sesame Workshop to bring STEM education to underserved populations in Mexico. We look forward to working with ILT Education to bring Kide’s research-backed playful inquiry to more kindergartens and preschools across Europe.”
