What KidsOnline does

KidsOnline operates a cloud-based SaaS kindergarten management platform headquartered in Hanoi, Vietnam, with a regional office in Ho Chi Minh City. The company sells annual subscriptions to Vietnamese preschools and kindergartens, providing a web-based administration portal (KOMT) plus iOS and Android mobile applications that connect schools, teachers, and parents. Core functionality includes student and staff information management, fee and tuition handling, periodic child development reporting, two-way school-parent communication, and health and nutrition tracking. Reported customer outcomes include 20% reduction in annual operational costs for kindergartens, 30% reduction in teacher daily workload, and 90% of surveyed parents reporting greater security using partner schools.

The platform is differentiated by an automatic facial recognition attendance feature powered by AWS Rekognition, marketed at 99.99% accuracy with sub-second check-in and real-time parent notifications. KidsOnline integrates Vietnam's NAPAS national payment gateway for QR-code tuition collection and reconciliation, and has added an AI chatbot for teacher productivity (lesson planning, report generation, nutrition menu recommendations, parent Q&A), an AR-enabled coloring book, and KidsEdu curriculum content. Strategic partners include APEG (distribution), NAPAS (payments), AWS (vision AI), International STEM Association (teacher certification), UNICEF Vietnam, and several healthcare and insurance providers.

The company serves roughly 1,200-1,500+ kindergartens in Vietnam — spanning international chains (Maple Bear, Marie Curie, Egroup, ME School) and mid-market local schools — with 20,000+ active teachers and 150,000+ daily parent accounts. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales to school owners with self-serve mobile app adoption for parents. Disclosed equity capital is approximately $350K accumulated across 2016-2017, and the company sits within the OMT Education group alongside related entities OMT Education, SchoolOnline, and wholly-owned subsidiary KidsEdu. In 2025, KidsOnline was named to the HolonIQ Southeast Asia EdTech 50 list and announced geographic expansion into Kenya, Nigeria, and Ghana.
