Amman- Sharikat Mubasher: The leading global PreK-12 learning experience company, Seesaw, announced the acquisition of Little Thinking Minds, a female-founded leading edtech specializing in Arabic literacy solutions, to expand learning solutions globally.

This acquisition will enable Seesaw to solidify its presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and strengthen its offerings with comprehensive, culturally relevant educational content and literacy tools in both Arabic and English, the company announced in a press release today.

With this partnership, Seesaw will combine its interactive technology with Little Thinking Minds’s evidence-based Arabic literacy curricula and assessment solutions in order to transform learning for PreK-12 students, educators, and families in the MENA region and beyond. 

Seesaw will launch its first Arabic-language platform in 2026, reinforcing its commitment to authentic and multilingual learning experiences.

Commenting on the acquisition, Matthew Given, CEO of Seesaw, said: “This partnership marks a major step in our mission to create engaging and effective learning experiences for students worldwide. Little Thinking Minds has built a strong reputation and effective products for improving Arabic literacy, and by joining forces, we can empower more students and teachers with localized, high-impact learning solutions.”

On the other side, Rama Kayyali, Co-founder and CEO of Little Thinking Minds, stated that the acquisition represents a “powerful next step” in the company’s mission. “Together with Seesaw, we’re poised to scale our impact even further, delivering cutting-edge, culturally relevant learning experiences that empower children across the MENA region and beyond,” Kayyali added.

Founded in 2004, Little Thinking Minds is a pioneering edtech startup dedicated to closing the literacy gap for Arabic-speaking students worldwide, with a strong focus on the MENA region. Through its platforms, I Read Arabic, I Start Arabic, and the Mizan Assessment Platform, the company has empowered over 400,000 students across more than 10 countries with evidence-based digital literacy solutions.
