Pillar 04 · Children

KoalaPop, wellbeing disguised as play.

A standalone kids' app where wellbeing feels like a game. Designed for young learners, safe by default, full of joy.

How we compare

More than a wellbeing app. A connected ecosystem.

Most wellbeing platforms are single-purpose: an EAP, a corporate wellness portal, a kids' app. The Better Us Project connects the worlds where wellbeing actually happens.

Better Us FAQ

Common questions about the platform.

Real answers, real humans. No bots, no run-arounds.

01 How is the Better Us Project different from The School of Play?+
The School of Play is the brand, the methodology and the human experience, curriculum, workshops, books and coaching. The Better Us Project is the digital platform that scales it. Same mission, different layer.
02 Can we use one pillar without the others?+
Yes. Schools often start with BetterUs Schools, families start with FamilyBreak, organisations start with BetterUs Workplace. The pillars connect when you want them to, not before.
03 Is data shared between pillars?+
Only with explicit permission. A school does not see a family's at-home data. A workplace does not see a family's data. Each pillar is its own private space by default.
04 How is the platform priced?+
BetterUs Schools is included in your School of Play licence. Family apps (FamilyBreak, KoalaPop) are free to download with optional premium. BetterUs Workplace is priced per seat.
05 Is it safe for children?+
Yes. KoalaPop and BetterUs Schools are designed kid-first, no ads, no in-app purchases, no chat, no data harvesting. We follow GDPR-K and COPPA standards globally.
