Our Story

Pioneering Parents

Yoto was started by Ben and Filip, two dads with a shared background in the music industry united in that all-too-familiar tug of war between encouraging independent play in their kids and screen time. Influenced by the teachings of Maria Montessori, the idea for a connected, screenless device that’d give children access to a whole world of audio felt like one that needed to be realised.

We put kids in control

Amazing things happen when we let children lead the way. Independent kids are more creative, curious and confident. Everything we do, from the products and audio content we create to the partners we work with, is done with this belief in mind.

Look mum, no ads!

Exploring the limits of your imagination shouldn’t include advert breaks. That’s why we’ve built a universe of intuitive, fun (but always safe) products and content. Our aim is to set the scene for life’s greatest adventure, childhood. No interruptions.
