LiveKid acquires Aldea to expand in Latin America

LiveKid, a
platform for preschool and nursery management and parent-school communication,
has acquired Aldea, a software provider serving early childhood education
centres across Mexico, Colombia, and Chile. The transaction marks LiveKid’s
second acquisition of 2026 and forms part of the company’s broader
consolidation strategy across Europe and Latin America.

Founded in Poland
in 2017 by Jakub Pawelski, LiveKid provides an operating system for early
childhood education centres, bringing together billing, admissions, staff
management, meal planning, e-journals, communications, and reporting in a
single platform. For parents, the platform offers a unified application for
tuition payments, attendance reporting, messaging, and day-to-day updates,
helping replace the paper-based and fragmented workflows that remain common
across the sector.

Aldea, founded by
Luis Garza Sada and Jorge Dzul, has developed a similar platform focused on the
Latin American market. The company has established a strong presence in
northern Mexico, particularly in Monterrey, while also expanding operations
into Colombia and Chile.

Following the
acquisition, LiveKid now serves more than 5,000 education centres and over
600,000 parents across Poland, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Mexico,
Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Peru, and Argentina. The platform
processes more than $400 million in annual payments related to tuition fees and
other early childhood education services.

Jakub Pawelski,
founder and CEO of LiveKid, said Aldea has built a strong position in parent
payments and centre operations, highlighting the team’s local market expertise
and confirming that Jorge Dzul will continue to lead the company’s operations
in Mexico.

As part of the
integration, LiveKid’s platform will continue to operate under the Aldea brand
across Latin America. The combined Mexican team will be based in Monterrey and
work alongside LiveKid’s existing teams in Barcelona and Kraków. Luis Garza
Sada will join the company’s board to support its continued expansion across
the region.

LiveKid plans to
accelerate its expansion across Europe and Latin America through further
acquisitions and market consolidation.
