For South African families · Grades 4–7
An AI learning companion that helps your child work it out
Learning support for Grades 4–7 across Mathematics, English Home Language and IsiXhosa Home Language. It guides step by step towards understanding rather than handing over answers — and it keeps you, the parent, in the loop.
It works alongside your child's teachers, tutors and homework routine — it doesn't replace them, and it makes no promises about marks.
A parent or guardian creates the account. Children learn on a profile you set up — they never get their own login.
How it works
- 1
You set up the account
Sign up as a parent, add each learner with their grade and subjects, and set a daily helper allowance.
- 2
Your child gets guided help
Hand over the device. The helper stays on schoolwork for that grade, asks questions and works through the steps.
- 3
You see how it's going
Come back to the parent view for topic progress, struggling-topic alerts and usage — outcomes, not transcripts.
Why EduCare is Different
The safety choices behind the product, stated plainly.
Homework-only AI
The helper is built for schoolwork and learning support, scoped to your child's grade and the CAPS topics they are actually covering.
Step-by-step guidance
It asks follow-up questions and works through the reasoning with your child, instead of handing over a finished answer to copy.
No peer chat
Learners cannot message or contact other learners through EduCare. There are no friend lists, no groups, no inboxes.
Parent dashboard
You see outcomes: topic-level progress, struggling-topic alerts and usage — never your child's private chat transcripts.
Daily AI limits
Every learner has a daily question allowance you control. EduCare is designed for sensible use, not endless AI chatting.
Human accountability
EduCare is a real product with a named, responsible South African team behind it. When something goes wrong, a person answers.
Real support
Email us about anything — safety concerns, billing, or removing your child's data — and a person on the team replies.

Founding Class of 2026
EduCare Founding Class of 2026
Be part of the first generation of learners growing with EduCare.
The Founding Class of 2026 brings together Grades 4–7 learners and families using EduCare during our first year, as we learn, improve and build the platform together.
Founder's Challenge
Eligible Grade 4–7 EduCare learners across South Africa can work toward 1,500 XP and qualify for an EduCare Founder's Challenge Certificate and a free stationery kit, subject to programme eligibility and availability.
Joining the Founding Class does not require reaching 1,500 XP, and no learner is guaranteed a certificate or stationery kit — EduCare verifies every qualification and a parent or guardian confirms eligibility and delivery details. The certificate is an EduCare / SM Digital Ventures recognition certificate: not a school award, academic qualification, bursary, scholarship or cash prize. The Founder's Challenge is a separate recognition programme within the Founding Class.
