School in your pocket
At Twigsee, we understand how important of a role the preschool institution plays in the development of a child’s personality and their motivation for the future. Preschools are all too often overwhelmed by administrative duties.
Our mission is to simplify and digitize administrative tasks so that teachers and administrators have time for that which is most important – working with and taking care of our children. Thanks to our mobile app, parents are also more connected with the school and are able to continue school activities with their children at home, therefore deepening their skills.
Our team
I studied international relations and linguistics in Prague, Bologna, and later worked in the field where politics and business meet in Prague, Beijing, and the USA. In 2015, after the birth of my son, Filip, I launched the platform for parents Mom4moms.cz. After my son started attending preschool, I began to realize how many things in the education sector are done the same as they were done 30 years ago. As a result, with my team of colleagues, we decided to bring this sector into the 21st century by making schools more accessible for parents and digitizing outdated manual paperwork. At Twigsee, we are dedicated mainly to strategic development and our project’s path, as well as expansion abroad. In my free time (which I admittedly have very little of :D), I like to travel, learn new things, play soccer and squash, learn to fly small airplanes, and most of all, spend time actively with my son and family.
My study of sport management at UK FTVS and my career as a drummer, have led me to the calling of what we now call Twigsee. A year of intensive work, development, and communication with schools, has allowed creation of a platform that changes how preschool education works and simplifies daily life. The most rewarding part of the work I have done – is to create something that helps others.

After completing my studies in Information Technology at ČVUT FIT in Prague, I continued in this field and worked as a senior PHP programmer and CEO of INNOIT which designs websites and apps. I enjoy photography and programming to which I am able to apply to my work at Twigsee and am responsible for the development team and software architecture proposals of the app.

I studied architecture and building construction at ČVUT FSV in Prague, where I completed my doctoral studies in the same field. I work as a project manager and COO in the company INNOIT, which does web design. This has connected me to Twigsee, where I oversee the creation of its website, including its graphic design and IT support.

I enjoy using and developing technology that helps make people’s daily lives easier. The Twigsee app shares our children’s joy with us, the parents. This means a lot to me and is the reason I decided to take part in this project.

I have a degree in Political Science, Marketing, and PR and dedicated myself to establishing relationships between the public sphere and the non-profit and private sectors. I was drawn to Twigsee, because of my desire to modernize Czech preschool education at the municipal level, thus increasing the satisfaction of families living in the CR.

I have always enjoyed working with others. From my first part-time job – a natural cosmetics seller, to a clerk’s position in the amateur DDS Radar, in gastronomy or CS. I’ve even worked in HR. Learning new things and accepting the challenges it brings is what fulfills me the most and what I most enjoy. Twigsee is certainly a welcome challenge for me.

After successful completion of my studies at the Prague School of Business I focused on the IT field and worked as a senior PHP programmer at the INNOIT agency which creates websites and mobile apps. I enjoy IT, programming, assembling drones, and 3D printing. For the Twigsee app, I collaborate as a development programmer, thus something very close to my heart.

I studied Chemistry at VUT in Brno. But I knew that my calling was elsewhere, writing. For many years, I worked in marketing where I gradually started fulfilling my passion for writing. My work editing Mom4moms was a turning point. The Twigsee project is a wonderful added value for the most important personal relationships, which is why I want to be a part of it.

I studied management at VŠE. Whilst working for various companies, I realized how important and undervalued people are. I have worked in customer care and tried to show employers the importance of their employees. Vanda (CEO) has the same conviction. Twigsee gives me the opportunity to be dedicated to each and every one of our clients.

I studied a dual major of German and Social Sciences at UK’s Pedagogical faculty. I am currently continuing my Master’s studies. At the same time, I work in a preschool as a teacher. From my own experience, I know the importance of effectiveness and saving time. Twigsee is a project that has meaning and for that reason, I am glad to be a part of it.

I studied Civil Engineering at ČVUT. From real-estate appraisals to working in a forest school after starting my family is where I first encountered the Twigsee app. The app impressed me so that I went from the role of a user to actively seeking out improvements. Thus, I was more than happy to accept the role of a collaborator for development and testing.

I studied Economics at a university in Brno. My career eventually led me to Prague. I’ve spent my whole working life in the economics field. Collaborating with my daughter on this project has combined business with pleasure for me. Twigsee deepens relationships between children and parents and since family is most important to me, this project is close to my heart.

Our preschool Malvína has been using the Twigsee app for over half a year. It is a big help to us. Thanks to the child’s profile, we have an easy-to-view list of all their important information. Also, with Twigsee, communication with parents is more convenient. We can share photos with them and using posts, share important information with only selected parents. Not needing to inform each parent individually has saved us a significant amount of work. What we appreciate most about the app, is the easy-to-view attendance. It shows the number of present and excused children and also, alerts us to any children leaving after lunch. Our school highly recommends the app. The team of people who developed the app are definitely professionals in what they do. They responded to all of our questions quickly and are always available to assist us.

While I was a bit skeptical at first, we have been up and running with Twigsee for a month and a half now without a single problem. We have over 50 reviews from parents and every one of them is positive. Furthermore, parents have started to appreciate all that our teachers do for them and they’ve not only decreased their demands, but have started asking how they can help. They donate toys, company gifts, or homemade Moravian honey. We are extremely happy and are ordering Twigsee for our other site in Průhonice.

Twigsee won us over from the moment we started using it. It allows us to manage everything in our school in a convenient and easy-to-view manner, all in one place. You’ll love Twigsee because it will make your administrative tasks easier and will make communication with parents faster and more effective. It will not only make your teachers very happy but also the parents! I much appreciate the wonderful support from the Twigsee team who are always prepared to handle our questions and requests. In short, I can wholeheartedly recommend Twigsee without hesitation.

We’ve finally canceled signature forms for all applications and online photo galleries, and parents no longer forget about school activities. Parents know what is happening at school and are much happier and at ease. We’ve stopped needing to constantly explain and repeat the same things. Thank you.

Twigsee is a great and innovative app for me as the school’s headmaster as well as a mother. There’s finally an app that eases the workload of administrative duties for the MŠMT (Ministry of Education) as well as the MPSV (Social Security) for everyone. It accomplishes all of this in a very easy to use and intuitive way. Communication with the Twigsee team is superb. They are always happy to answer all of my questions about the app and its functions whenever I need it. As a mother, I value daily, easy-to-view information about my child so that I am informed about what they are doing and have access to information from the school, teachers, and administration. I strongly recommend the app for all administrators and parents!

Twigsee is a wonderful app that has made communication between the school and parents faster, more convenient, and more efficient since we began using it at the beginning of the school year. Also, it unbelievably simplifies the work of employees. Everyone, including the parents, is happy with the app.
