Our History

Dancing Panda was created in 2020 by Deb Lee, a senior education leader as well as a mom of two young girls. Deb realized she wished she had a set of high-quality and grade-level appropriate games at her fingertips that she could play anytime *with* her girls. She envisioned something that she, or any busy parent, family member, or caregiver, could easily “whip out of their back pocket” that would be educational, age-appropriate, and most importantly, just a lot of fun.

Our Mission

We believe that all children deserve to have access to high-quality education resources. We cannot do this work alone and we want parents, families, and caregivers to work in partnership with our schools and teachers to create a love of learning for our children.

Our Vision

We dream of a future where children all over the country are laughing, having fun, and playing Dancing Panda activities with their families. Parents, families, and caregivers are learning more about what their child is doing in their classrooms so that they can thoughtfully and more confidently engage and support their child’s education. Children are learning from *all* the adults in their lives, not just from the teachers in their classroom - and can make connections from their everyday lives to help them grow into the amazing, incredible leaders we know they can and will be one day.

We at Dancing Panda believe in these 5 core values. They guide us to create the best possible learning experience for our families and children.
