Helping families build confident bilingual children — and educators build better learning environments.
Antonia Beauvoisin-Brown is the founder of KidooLand and a bilingual education specialist.
After starting her career in IT with a Fortune 500 company, she spent the last 20 years building Anglo-French learning environments — helping children and families grow in confidence in both English and French.
Today, her work focuses on a new phase of learning — both inside and beyond the classroom.
Here is a selection of the projects she is currently building:
English Language Schools
Interactive Education
KidooLand (Founded 2007)
KidooLand is an Anglo-French learning centre based in the South of France, supporting over 8,500 families on their English learning journey.
Built over two decades, it combines strong pedagogy with a warm, community-driven approach — creating environments where children feel confident, engaged, and ready to learn.
Our programmes draw from a range of educational approaches, including Montessori and project-based learning, adapted to create interactive, neuro-friendly experiences that children genuinely enjoy.
From baby clubs and Kindergartens to weekly lessons and holiday camps, KidooLand delivers immersive, in-person learning in Vallauris Sophia Antipolis, South of France

A guidebook and course
Grow to Bilingual
(Book — currently in editing)
A practical guide for parents who want to help their child learn English with confidence and ease.
Built on 18+ years at KidooLand and over 8,500 real family journeys, the book goes beyond vocabulary and grammar — focusing on mindset, confidence, and simple daily habits that drive real progress.
Designed for both parent and child, it reframes language learning as something lived, not just taught.
The Evolving Classroom
Evolving Classroom
A project focused on rethinking how children learn — combining real classroom experience with modern tools, including AI.
Built on two decades of hands-on teaching and operational leadership at KidooLand, Evolving Classroom explores what actually works in today’s learning environments — and what needs to change.
It supports educators in creating more effective, engaging, and adaptable classrooms, where confidence, participation, and real progress come first.
Donegal Cottage
Family holidays Ireland
Josie’s Cottage — Ireland
Built in the 1950s by my grandfather for my great aunt, Josie’s Cottage has remained a special place for our family ever since.
Perched high in the hills with sweeping views, it offers a simple, back-to-basics escape — where children can roam, explore, and experience the kind of Enid Blyton-style freedom that’s become rare today.
With country walks, cows in neighbouring fields, beaches just 20 minutes away, and local eateries and craft shops nearby, it’s both peaceful and quietly full of life.
Now looked after by the wider family, the cottage is shared with others who want to experience a slower, more authentic stay in Ireland.

Côte d’Azur Living (Founded 2010)
A community of over 15,000 members connecting international and French families across the Côte d’Azur.
With more than 40,000 interactions each year, the group has become a trusted space for sharing local knowledge, support, and recommendations.
It reflects a simple goal: helping people feel connected — and showcasing the Côte d’Azur as an exceptional place to live and visit.

Let's Connect
I'd love to connect with other like minded entrepreneurs here on the French Riviera.
It can be challenging moving to a new country, running a business in a foreign language, integrating into the commercial community.
I find watching and listening other entrepreneurs inspiring and one of my favourite things to do is to connect people when I see some synergy.

Educator & Mumpreneur
Founder of KidooLand
Rethinking how we learn — across classrooms, homes, and beyond
Being a mum has been my most important role to date and the one that shaped everything else.
My two children have pushed me to grow, adapt, and rethink how we learn .. not just academically, but emotionally and creatively.
Over the past 30 years, I’ve built across multiple worlds: from IT in a Fortune 500 company to education, entrepreneurship, and community-building.
Since founding KidooLand in 2007, I’ve supported over 8,500 families in helping their children grow in confidence in English — while raising my own children alongside the business.
Today, I’m entering a new chapter.
One that brings together everything I’ve learned about education, mindset, and technology.
I’m currently writing Grow to Bilingual — a guide for parents and educators and investigating practical training around AI in education, including tools designed for real classrooms and real families.
Because the future of learning won’t be built on theory, it will be built on what actually works.
What drives me is simple: building things that matter.
From early ideas scribbled in notebooks
→ to real systems that support people to grow.
I believe in learning that evolves, in planning with purpose,
and in staying open to what comes next.
A few milestones along the way
- Raised in Surrey, studied in Sussex
- First moved to France as an au pair — later returned as a teacher
- Worked in programming, project management, and operations in a Fortune 500
- Founded multiple ventures, including an au pair agency and rental business
- Moved to France permanently in 2005 with two young children
- Founded KidooLand in 2007 and expanded across multiple locations
- Navigated growth through recession, family life, and evolving markets
- Launched additional projects including a podcast and community platforms
- Wrote a book (2024–2025) and looking into how we can build a new vision for AI in education
My businesses have helped thousands of children but more importantly, they’ve helped my own children thrive :-)
That’s the real measure.
Now working as a location-flexible founder, I’m focused on building what’s next — at the intersection of learning, technology, and real life.
If you’re building in a similar space, I’d love to connect with you.
