Maple Bear Central and Eastern Europe, part of the largest global Canadian bilingual educational franchise network Maple Bear Global Schools, joined hands with Kinderpedia in a partnership that will offer all the Maple Bear kindergartens and schools in the region a complete management solution for education.

Thus, Kinderpedia becomes the unique operation system of Maple Bear CEE, bringing an innovative digital tool that supports both the offline and online learning process, in the new context of blended education. More so, Kinderpedia reduces teacher’s administrative time by 40%, it significantly improves parental involvement through a secure and easy-to-use interface and offers school managers a complete perspective on all activities and communication.

“Supporting leadership and visionary transformation in education has been part of Kinderpedia’s mission from the very beginning. It gives us great satisfaction to be the preferred solution of one of the world’s most prestigious education brands and we are happy to contribute to the value that Maple Bear bring to education and to society, in this side of Europe.

Kinderpedia brings together, on the same digital platform, all the administrative tools necessary for an efficient organisation of the school activities.

Kinderpedia’s management and financial modules will become our operational system and will allow our owners and their teams to focus more on the education side than on the administrative tasks. Additionally, beyond practical functionalities, Kinderpedia’s communication and extra modules offer the possibility to our Maple Bear owners to have their teachers and parents enjoying all the benefits of a connected education,”  stated Yann Bidan, General Manager of Maple Bear Central and Eastern Europe.
