BACKED BY REAL RESEARCH
Pumpkin's curriculum aligns with Jump$tart and CEE K - 12 financial literacy standards, informed by published research and reviewed by experienced educators. Real curriculum-grade learning.
BUILT BY A MOM WHO GETS IT
Pumpkin was built by Bridget, a mom drowning in chore charts and nagging battles. She wanted her daughter to self-manage routines, finish chores and homework without reminders, and learn money as she grows. She built what she needed, tested it with real families, and now yours can use it too.
ONE APP. BUILT FOR EVERY AGE (4 - 12
Not a theme toggle, a fundamentally different experience per child.
- Seedling (ages 4 - 6): Big icons, voice guidance, tap-friendly, simple cause-and-effect.
- Explorer (ages 7 - 9): Badges, streaks, discovery, game-like learning
- Achiever (ages 10 - 12): Stats, missions, goal-tracking, real financial concepts, optional retro pixel-art mode kids love
No child overwhelmed by concepts they can't grasp. No tween insulted by a baby interface.
