Yingele - Smart educational games

Yingele designs original, playful educational apps to inspire the joy and fun of learning in young children, leveraging nothing more than their innate desire to enjoy the sense of mastery that comes from age-appropriate, self-directed learning. Recognizing that parents often give their phones and tablets to their children to entertain them with video games, Yingele developed a way to help children use that time positively (and assuage the related parental guilt) by creating games that promote the development of math and language skills in children ages 3-7. Yingele’s approach is firmly rooted in the philosophy that creating a fun environment is the first step in sharing the joy of learning, thus, our motto, “Learn Through the Joy of Play.” All our products are based on the latest educational and psychological research on the acquisition and development of language and numerical skills. Yingele founders Joseph Bloomshtein and Michael Becker bring years of experience creating dynamic early childhood programming to our apps. Bloomshtein is a creator of Alfy, a website of e-learning games for young children, and he’s developed numerous educational games, including some for the Sesame Street workshop. Becker is a professor of linguistics at SUNY Stony Brook and earned his PhD from Harvard University. Counting Parrots Counting Parrots is Yingele’s premiere app. A fun, entertaining rudimentary mathematics learning experience for children ages 3-7, the goal is to teach the parrots to fly. While the child is having fun, the apps improve number recognition and the ability to follow instructions, reinforce the relationship between numbers and amounts, and teach counting, grouping, sight recognition, size comparison, and how to solve simple equations. Rote, creative, and critical thinking are all enhanced, as fine motor skills are addressed through drawing projects.
