Engaging video content
All videos come in various languages to support diverse learning needs, and use real-life footage to connect children to the real world. Rich vocabulary is intentionally woven into each video to support language development.
Embedded Professional Development
Social and Emotional Development
Our social emotional videos, paired with hands-on activities, have the power to make abstract concepts more concrete for young learners. Our videos model emotions in familiar scenarios that children often experience in school and home. We infuse vocabulary to teach children the words they need to identify and communication their emotions to others. Beyond emotional awareness, our lessons also give children the self-management tools they need to navigate their feelings.

Teachers Love Us

“Thank you MarcoPolo and for how much it has affected learning in my classroom. My children LOVE MarcoPolo and ask for it every day. The resource is AMAZING... and hey, not only are the kids learning, but I have learned some things too! Thank you once again for helping us teachers get tools to help expand these children's brains.”

Kristen Legge

Teacher, Kiddie Academy Longwood-Lakemary

"The children absolutely love it. They were receptive, they were engaged, they were asking questions, they were interactive and they loved the videos and the learning that was taking place. We found out over several weeks, they were still retaining the knowledge that was gained from watching these videos.

Sharon Cummins

Teacher, Kids & Company

"We have struggled in the past to find age appropriate content in Spanish and this has been helpful to have Spanish content related to what we are learning in the classroom."

Bibliana Lucumi

Teacher, Smart Start of Mecklenburg County

"I am old school and using technology in my classroom has been a challenge for me. I have been using MarcoPolo's letter art videos to support our letter of the week. The kids are really engaged and like to try to recreate the letter animals themselves. This gets a whole conversation going that we might not have had otherwise!"

Melissa Heburn

Teacher, Oasis Christian Academy

I love the feature of sending direct messages to the parents. Being able to have contact between the parent and teacher is important for the child’s learning. The product is very easy to navigate for the parents, kids, and teachers! The wide variety of topics are endless!
