Pre-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 and folders filled with paperwork.
Our mission is to simplify and digitise 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 with preschool activities with their children at home, therefore deepening their skills.
Our team
I studied international relations and linguistics in Prague and Bologna, and later worked in a field where politics and business both 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 realise how many things in the education sector are done the same as they were done thirty years ago. As a result, with my team of colleagues, we decided to bring this sector into the 21st century by making preschools more accessible for parents and digitising outdated manual paperwork.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 have always enjoyed working with others. From the time of 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 management at VŠE. Whilst working for various companies, I realised 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 time saving. Twigsee is a project that has meaning and for that reason, I am glad to be a part of it.

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.

I have spent my life working with people. Twigsee offers me the opportunity to direct my attention to those smallest who make up our future. As a mother, I was very interested in this project because it represents a modern way of communicating between the preschool and parents, which is of great benefit to all.

I started as an educator and professional trainer, since 1992 I have been fully engaged in business activities. I have become convinced that clear communication and clear rules lead to success and save people time. Twigsee is just such a tool to make communication with parents and administration easier in kindergartens and to bring the work of teachers into the 21st century.

Kristýna graduated in International Relations at Palacký University and went on to study a Master's degree in Communication at the University of Brussels. The multicultural environment of Brussels absorbed her so much that after her studies she moved to West Africa and managed the branch of an international business. After returning to the Czech Republic on maternity leave, she began to focus on trade with Africa and issues of racial discrimination. The position of Regional Manager for Africa at Twigsee gives Kristýna the opportunity to use the experience she has gained so far to help Twigsee expand on this beautiful continent.

He has digitized training programs for Junior Achievement Zimbabwe, which has become a pan-African unique.
XTwigsee caught our attention right away from the presentation thanks to the range of functions offered. It wasn't a system that only dealt with attendance or just the registry. It offered us the opportunity to have everything under one roof. And the cherry on top of the cake was the possibility of sending parents contributions about how their children are doing in preschool that day. Parents liked the app very quickly. At first, teachers were more concerned about whether preschool management wanted to give them extra work. However, they soon discovered that writing to parents made them happy, and they also finally have an overview of the children's attendance for each day. Twigsee can handle all that is on the agenda in a preschool as well as accounting. Forest preschool, Pohádky z.s., Zvole
Zuzana VacíkováGreat Customer Support! Any problem gets immediate attention, and also the sales representatives are very willing to help.
Michelle SpechtWe have just started using the Twigsee application, as I was drawn in by an offer. Especially the time saving. I can use my time more meaningfully with my children rather than doing administration. I appreciate the professionalism of the team. Mr. Med answered all of our questions. I was impressed by the enrolment process of new children, attendance and, above all, the connection of teachers with parents, which does not disrupt them from their work with the children. Before signing the contract, we compared the offer of similar applications and came to the conclusion that Twigsee provides the most comprehensive offer of services for preschool needs.
Helena ZdrubeckáWe have been using the Twigsee app in our Fox Nursery for over a year now. Through the app we communicate important information to parents. We share photos of the children's daily activities, and we use surveys, to which parents respond more quickly than in person. We have an overview of how many children are coming on a given day, so we can plan and adjust the day's schedule. Parents especially like the app because they have instant information about what's going on in the preschool, they can see lots of photos and they can excuse their child for the time they need in a few clicks. The Twigsee app is responsive to the needs of our preschools and is quick and easy for teachers, nannies and parents to use. With the Twigsee app, we are simply moving with the times.
Linda JanichováTwigsee is a wonderful app that has made communication between the preschool and parents faster, more convenient, and better since we began using it at the beginning of the school year. Also, it unbelievably simplifies the work of employees. Everybody, including the parents, are happy with the app.
Zuzana ČernáTwigsee is a great and innovative app for me as the preschool’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 were always happy to answer all of my questions about the app and its functions whenever I needed 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 preschool, teachers, and administration. I strongly recommend the app for all administrators and parents!
Tereza DvořákováWe’ve finally disposed of all signature forms for all applications and online photo galleries, and parents no longer forget about school activities. Parents know what is happening at preschool and are much happier and at ease. We’ve stopped needing to constantly explain and repeat the same things. Thank you.
Michaela MožiešíkováTwigsee won us over from the moment we started using it. It allows us to manage everything in our preschool 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 also greatly appreciate the wonderful support from the Twigsee team which is always prepared to handle our questions and requests. In short, I can wholeheartedly recommend Twigsee without hesitation.
Lucie EnglandWhile 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 fifty 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 happy and are ordering Twigsee for our other location in Průhonice.
Jan VodrážkaOur 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.
