Kids Planet Education

Kids Planet Education runs small, live, play-based online classes for young children, building early maths and literacy from preschool up to Year 2. The site describes it as an organization based in Sydney, Australia, offering "Innovative, play-based education courses for young children," and puts three figures at the top of its homepage: a 5.0 rating on Google, 6,782 lessons taught, and small online classes with a maximum of six children. Between classes, children continue on a companion study platform at learn.kids-planet.com.au, which adds an AI tutor, self-marking quizzes and annotated writing to the live lessons.

The idea behind it

The company sets itself against conventional tutoring. Its homepage says that, unlike traditional tutoring services, it believes learning works best through play, and that letting children follow their instinct to play makes them "happier, self-reliant, and better students for life." The courses aim to give children the maths concepts and literacy skills that will let them enjoy their school years with confidence.

The broader program areas listed on the homepage show how wide that idea runs:

• pre-literacy programs, for emergent literacy skills in preschoolers;
• pre-numeracy programs, for early numeracy;
• English language, covering reading, listening, writing and speaking;
• maths, aimed at real understanding of mathematical concepts;
• life skills, encouraging a healthy lifestyle and age-appropriate independence;
• social skills, developed through play and group time.

Under "What sets us apart" the site names three qualities: professional ("Highly skilled and experienced teachers"), innovative (fun-based learning that promotes creativity) and positive teaching.

The courses

Six courses are on the homepage, each with its age band and format.

• Get Ready For School, for ages 4 to 5, with weekday and weekend classes. It covers phonics, mathematical thinking and reading habits for children who start primary school the following year.
• Alphabet Planet, for ages 3 to 4. Online, a maximum of six children, 30 minutes per class, built around bilingual picture books, songs and letters.
• Fun Writing, K and Year 1, for Foundation to Year 1. Online, a maximum of six children, 45 minutes per class. It takes English writing "from first scribbles to sentences," following the NSW syllabus.
• Fun Writing, Year 2, online, teaching persuasive and narrative writing targeted at the Year 3 NAPLAN criteria.
• Fun Maths, for preschool to kindergarten, online, teaching counting, shapes and patterns "through game-based challenges rather than drills."
• The Treasure in Books, for pre-primary children, with weekday and weekend classes, working on vocabulary, expression and phonics to bridge the gap between recognizing letters and reading with confidence.

The classes are live and small. The learning platform page puts it plainly: "Our classes are small, live, and taught by a teacher your child knows by name." The site also has a Chinese-language version, linked from every page.

The learning platform

In September 2026 the company announced its study platform, learn.kids-planet.com.au, which gives every class a home online. A child signs in to the course they already attend, asks the questions that occur to them in the evening, practices what the class covered and hands in writing. The platform page lists six things it does:

• An AI tutor to ask. A chat tutor answers "from your child's own course material rather than from the open internet," so the explanation matches the way the idea was taught in class.
• Quizzes that mark themselves. Practice questions are graded as soon as they are answered, so a mistake gets explained while the child still remembers making it.
• Writing that comes back marked up. Writing is returned annotated line by line, showing what worked and what to try in the next draft.
• Somewhere to talk it over. Class discussion boards let a child ask a question in their own words and read how classmates thought about it.
• Content that adapts. What comes next follows the pace the child is working at and the way they learn best, with more reading, more pictures or more practice.
• A clear picture of progress. The platform reads what a child has done over a term and sets out what they have mastered and what is worth another look.

The company is explicit about the limits it sets on the AI. It marks practice, annotates drafts and answers questions at hours the teachers cannot, but "It does not decide what your child is taught, and it does not run the lesson." Teachers do both, as before. The platform is meant to give them a better view of the week, so a teacher can start the next lesson already knowing which idea needs explaining a second way.

The page also describes what each side gets. Children get a place to practice without an audience and to ask the question they did not want to ask in front of the class. Parents get a better answer than "it was good" when they ask how a class went: what was covered, what landed and where a little help at home would go furthest.

What parents say

The homepage carries four parent reviews. Sophie D. writes that her daughter gained confidence through her teacher's patience, "from no talking at all to actively engaging in the class," and that the class was "well structured with stories and music." Yang F. says their child looked forward to the Sunday class and that the lessons go beyond the alphabet, "integrating multi-faceted knowledge into the curriculum." Crystal F., whose daughter has done two terms, values the online format: "You don't have to run around dropping off and picking up," which she finds more convenient for a family with more than one child. Natalie K. describes the course as well structured and easy for children to follow.

Enrolling and prices

Families can enroll online or talk to the company first. The site says it answers enquiries on WeChat, and a QR code on the homepage connects parents to a course consultant who helps choose the right class. Students log in to their course through learn.kids-planet.com.au.

The site publishes no prices or term fees.

Who it suits

Kids Planet Education suits families with children from age 3 to Year 2 who want live teaching in a small group rather than an app on its own. The six-child cap means a shy child gets noticed, which is exactly what the parent reviews praise. Children starting primary school next year get Get Ready For School; children starting to write get a course that follows the NSW syllabus; Year 2 students get an early start on the persuasive and narrative writing the Year 3 NAPLAN assesses. Parents who want to know what happens between lessons get the platform's progress view and line-by-line writing feedback, and parents who prefer to read in Chinese have a Chinese-language version of the site.

It fits less well for families who want a self-paced program a child can do alone at any time, since everything starts from a scheduled live class, or for parents who want one-to-one tutoring rather than a small group. Enquiries run through WeChat, which suits families already on it and adds a step for those who are not.
