Families and teachers love Paloma
“Because with this tight schedule, sometimes we don't even have twenty minutes, and Paloma gives them to me—and the little boy loves that mommy dedicates that little bit of time just for him.”
“Porque con este horario tan apretado, a veces no tenemos ni veinte minutos, y Paloma me los da—y al nene le fascina que mami le dedique ese ratito para él solo.”
-Paloma Parent
“He will put whatever he is doing aside to do Paloma… it’s a bonding moment between us.”
-Paloma Parent
“I am impressed how he went from no reading, to now reading, and at times, full sentences. Paloma is a great tool. He loves practicing with me at home.”
-Paloma Parent
“I really like doing Paloma every day because I get to spend time with my parents showing them what I’m learning, and the stories are really cool and about me.”
-Paloma Student
My students’ parents tell me it helps them with their English too!
-Paloma Teacher
“With Paloma, the teachers have noticed his progress for sure. It’s amazing.”
-Paloma Parent
“Teaching feels like a team sport now. I run my leg of the race during the school day, then Paloma hands the instructional baton to families & they reliably run their leg of the race at home”
-Paloma Teacher
“My daughter is a first grader and she loves Paloma because she likes the stories so much. It doesn’t feel like a typical lesson to her, it feels like fun.”
-Paloma Teacher and Parent
“We love Paloma!!! My scholars and their families talk about it all the time and the parents really appreciate the program and the extra practice of skills at home! Paloma rocks!!”
-Paloma Teacher
“My daughter couldn't read before we started using Paloma! Her brother always loved reading, but she wasn't interested at all until we started doing our Paloma lessons.”
-Paloma Parent
“I love Paloma so much because this week I'm going to get a Superhero story!”
-Paloma Student
We had a great experience with Paloma, and the feedback from families using the app was always so positive. It was easy to use and the students had fun while improving their reading skills. The Paloma team were great to work with! Response to questions or concerns was always quick.
-Paloma Teacher
It's been a great first year and we are excited to expand this program to our other elementary campuses! Thanks for being so quick to respond to emails and requests.

What we believe
Parents’ love for their children…
is the single most powerful — and most underutilized — natural resource in education.
Family time, not screen time.
Technology should deepen human connection, not replace it.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
When families and teachers collaborate, students soar.
Parents are the tutors hiding in plain sight.
They deserve the basic resources we provide every educator: curriculum & coaching. Learn more!
