📖 Our Story

👨‍👧‍👦 A Parent's Mission

Hi! I'm Terry, a dad of two wonderful, curious kids. Like many parents, I've spent countless evenings trying to help them with homework, only to realize that traditional learning materials can be... well, a bit boring.

"Dad, why are shapes so hard?" my little one asked one day, frustrated with a worksheet full of geometry definitions.

That question stuck with me. Shapes aren't hard — they're everywhere! Buildings, toys, food, nature... But somehow, when we put them in textbooks, they lose their magic.

🐛 Why "TakCek"?

You might be wondering about our funny name! "TakCek" (读册) is the Hokkien word for "reading books" or "studying".

It's a phrase my grandmother used to say: "A-boy, go tak cek!" It captures the spirit of traditional learning but with our own playful, modern twist (hence the hungry caterpillar!). We want to make "tak cek" something kids actually want to do.

✨ Making Learning Fun

That's when I decided to build TakCek. My goal? Create a place where kids can explore educational concepts the way they naturally want to — through bright colors, playful interactions, and lots of fun facts.

🎯 Made for Curious Minds

TakCek is designed for primary school children, but with enough depth to be genuinely educational. We don't water things down — we make them accessible and engaging.

Did you know a cube is also called a "hexahedron" because "hexa" means six in Greek? That's the kind of comprehensive, interesting information we include!

🚀 What's Next?

Shape Explorer is just the beginning! We're working on more modules:

• 🎨 Color Mixer — How do colors combine? (Spoiler: light and paint work differently!)
• 🔢 Number Patterns — Finding the magic in sequences
• ⏰ Time & Clocks — Mastering telling time
• 🍕 Fractions & Pizza — Because fractions are delicious!

💖 From Our Family to Yours

Every feature, every animation, every fun fact here was created with love — tested first on my own kids! If your child enjoys Learning Explorer even half as much as mine do, I'll consider it a success.

Happy exploring! 🌈
