We believe that building a generation of emotionally healthy and resilient families starts early.
Puja (CEO/Founder) designed products and services used by thousands of young families, and advised on national child and family policy. This meant she spoke to hundreds of families with young children all over the world - it was clear that parents don’t always have the support they need to have the strong, loving relationship with their child that they want.
Puja started Devie to make this parenting support accessible to every family. Then she met Sharon, a practicing child psychologist and professor of clinical psychology who’s dedicated to supporting families. Sharon has spent her career supporting parents and young children with managing behaviour, developing strong relationships, increasing emotional wellbeing through her practice. Together, Sharon and Puja are making this evidence-based support accessible to every family.
Core beliefs that guide how we work, design, and build
We know parents are doing their best. We approach every conversation without
judgment.
The support we provide is accessible to every parent regardless of income level,
language, and technological literacy.
All chats with Devie are based on standards from the Early Years Foundation Stage
and latest early childhood development research.
We’ve taken steps to safeguard the personal information of our users. Information
about who sees data on Devie and how it’s used can be found in our Privacy Policy.
