About Family Skills Lab

Our Mission
To provide families with high-quality, age-appropriate educational materials that support children's learning and development while making education accessible, engaging, and enjoyable for every child.
At Family Skills Lab, we believe that every child deserves access to excellent educational resources that match their unique learning style and developmental stage. Our carefully selected collection of interactive discs and educational magazines is designed to complement classroom learning while providing enriching experiences that can be enjoyed at home.
We understand that parents and caregivers play a crucial role in their children's educational success. That's why our materials are designed not just for children, but to support families in creating meaningful learning experiences together.
Our Core Values

Child-Centered
Every decision we make prioritizes the child's learning experience, developmental needs, and natural curiosity about the world around them.
Family Support
We provide resources and guidance to help parents and caregivers become confident partners in their children's educational journey.
Inclusive Learning
Our materials are designed to be accessible and beneficial for children with diverse learning styles, abilities, and backgrounds.
Our Story
Family Skills Lab was founded in 2019 by a team of educators, parents, and child development specialists who recognized the need for high-quality educational materials that bridge the gap between school and home learning.
Our founders, having worked in various educational settings across Slovakia and Europe, noticed that many families struggled to find appropriate supplementary learning materials that matched their children's school curriculum while remaining engaging and age-appropriate.
What started as a small collection of carefully reviewed educational discs has grown into a comprehensive resource for families, featuring interactive multimedia content and educational magazines that serve children from preschool through middle school.
Today, we continue to expand our offerings based on feedback from families, educators, and child development research, always maintaining our commitment to quality and educational excellence.
