The Starfall application caters to various age groups, from pre-primary to early primary, and is known for its interactive and engaging learning activities.

The Starfall initiative was born of the COVID-19 Response Project funded by the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and the Caribbean Development Bank, a project which aims to promote the continuity of teaching and learning.
