The quest for excellence to redefine the childcare and education sector

Our story began in 2010 with a vision to empower and nurture children throughout their educational journey by providing innovative solutions to revolutionise the childcare and education sector. Fuelled by a desire to create solutions that would revolutionise the industry, Xplor Education was born in 2016. Our goal became clear—to develop innovative tools that would enhance the daily operations of wraparound care settings by making work more efficient and easier.

Driven by this passion, we embarked on a pursuit to provide innovative solutions that will revolutionise the early childhood education and care sector. Fuelled by a desire to create solutions that would revolutionise the childcare industry, Xplor Education was born in 2016. Our goal became clear—to develop innovative tools that would enhance the daily operations of childcare services making work more efficient and easier.

In a world disenchanted by the lack of support for families and the childcare and education sector, Xplor Education introduced groundbreaking solutions that captured the childcare and education community's attention and garnered worldwide recognition.


We believe that there is no greater purpose than shaping the minds of the next generation. We will continue our relentless efforts to push education boundaries and help create a brighter future for the childcare and education sector. Together, we can make a difference and make education truly great.
