School's out, play isn't: why we built AfterSchool

For a working parent in Türkiye the day rarely ends at 5:30 pm; for a preschool it usually ends between five and half past. The hour or two in between is a small crisis solved anew every day: a grandparent, a neighbour, leaving work early, a favour asked of the shuttle driver.

At Cedgo we have hosted families in our play spaces for eight years, and we have heard about this gap from parents again and again. AfterSchool is our answer: the preschool's existing play room becomes a Cedgo Play Room with Cedgo design and premium toys; when a parent needs a late pick-up, the child moves there after class and plays freely with the school's own teacher.

Why inside the school?

Because the safest place for a child is the school they already know, and the most trusted adult is the teacher they already know. AfterSchool moves nobody; it extends the hour where the child already is. Cedgo brings the room and the technology: booking, payment, check-in and live viewing in one app.

What changes for the school?

An idle room and idle evening hours turn into revenue, and 60% of the fee stays with the school. For parents, late pick-up is no longer a favour to ask but a session picked in the app.

We are starting with our first partner schools. See For Preschools for details and Apply to get in touch.
