About

A technology company born in the classroom.

NOVA ECE was founded by Assoc. Prof. Oğuz Keleş, an early childhood education scholar, to unite classroom practice with the possibilities of data science. Our founding question was pedagogical, not commercial: how do we translate a child’s development into a language all their adults can share — without labelling the child?

Our values

Child First

When commerce and the child’s interest conflict, the child wins.

Scientific Integrity

We never write a claim we cannot support.

Human Connection

Technology exists to strengthen the teacher–child–family bond.

Responsible AI

AI suggests; humans decide.

Privacy by Design

Child data is the most sensitive data; privacy is built in from the start.

Clarity

A screen, a sentence, a chart — all should be understood at first glance.

Careers

We grow with engineers, designers and educators who care about early childhood. Open roles will appear here; for now, a short introduction to kurumsal@novaece.com is welcome.

Let’s begin the journey to every child’s light.
