An entire screen-free world of early learning
Elaves is a science-based approach that invites children in their early years to sound, play and real connection instead of screens.
Why we started
I grew up monolingual in Turkey and only met English later in life. When I saw how differently children raised in multilingual settings learn, I wanted to understand the science behind it.
That curiosity took me to Spain, to study Brain and Cognition at Pompeu Fabra University. There it became clear that the early years are the most decisive period, when language, listening and bonding take shape.
I wanted to bring what I learned into everyday life: a learning experience designed with science that adapts to each child's pace, without tying them to a screen. Elaves was born this way, uniting science, families and technology around a single purpose.
The early years cannot wait. Every sound a child hears today builds the world of tomorrow.
Our principles
Nine principles guide every decision and every step we take.
Research
Every piece of content rests on developmental science and current academic work.
Child-Centered Design
The child's needs and safety sit at the center of every design choice.
Originality
We create our own method, our own content and our own voice.
Innovation
We keep improving the hardware, content and app to find what is next.
Purpose-Driven Partnerships
We work alongside experts and institutions who share our vision.
Sustainability
We seek lasting value in a child's growth and in how we build.
Accessibility
We design an experience that different families and children can reach.
Educationalism
Beneath the fun there is always a real learning goal.
Social Impact
We treat growing awareness of early development as a responsibility.
Where we are today
A journey that began with a small question has grown into an approach recognized on an international scale.
