Who is Education National?

We are a small family business based in Sydney.

Our mission is to inspire, educate and challenge children through play.

We focus on aligning our products with the Early Years Learning Framework and the Australian Curriculum.

We design, test and manufacture resources that support educators but more importantly, engage children in fun and meaningful learning experiences.

But who are we really?

But who are we really?

We are Matthew, Emma and Astrid, a family trio dedicated to learning.

Life really changed as a business owner when I became a father to my amazing girl Astrid.

Playing with her has not only been immensely satisfying but has also deepened my passion and inspiration for developing toys that are more than just fun. It’s like seeing my work through a whole new lens – a smaller, gigglier lens!

How it all started

My journey into the world of educational resources began with two things I absolutely love.

Art and woodwork. At age 17, these passions combined in a magical way to create our very first product – the Koala wooden puzzle.

This wasn't just a puzzle; it was the beginning of a beautiful adventure into the world of never ending toy creation.

I still get a buzz when i see our trusty Koala puzzle in a classroom looking old and tatty but very much loved by many kids over the years.

How it's going today

Every day we are driven by a passion to revolutionise early childhood education with high-quality, innovative classroom resources.

We strive to build a community where knowledge and ideas are shared between educators and our team of sales reps, woodworkers and designers.
It is this ongoing conversation that has lead to our never ending flow of innovative educational resources.

With the inspiration of my wife and little girl, the new products we are creating have never been better.
