Started by a Parent for Parents
Hi! I am Rana, a mother of two and the Founder of MonkBox. When I started MonkiBox in 2018, I was a frustrated new parent. One morning, I sat down on my daughter's play area floor and watched her pull up to a plastic activity table, the kind with all the crazy lights and features. She pushed a button, music started playing, and lights started flashing. She tried another and more lights and music. She quickly moved on to something else, unimpressed. I sat there feeling disconnected as a mom. I began to question, "What is this experience doing for her and us?" I looked around at the other toys and asked what they were teaching her and doing for her development? This was when my journey to developing MonkiBox began as a parent. I started researching; there was so much information that it was hard to follow and absorb. I learned that 85% of your brain develops in the first years of life, and it's the most critical time for a child's development, but most parents don't know where to begin, how they fully support their child's growth, and also take care of themselves in the process. I thought there had to be a better way for children and parents to access toys and services that help them during these critical years. So I left my job at Uber and started MonkiBox. MonkiBox is the leading and award-winning early childhood company in MENA. We support parents and children across MENA, a one-stop place for PlayTools, support, and advice for your child's first years of life and your first years of parenting. We turn playtime into a learning experience.
