How it works

Simple, Safe Playdate Coordination in 6 Steps

01

Create Parent Account

Register and verify as a parent or legal guardian. Children never create accounts.

02

Set Location Radius

Choose a search radius up to 100 miles. Only approximate distance is shown, never your exact address.

03

Add Child Profiles

Add profiles under your account with a nickname, age from 2 to 20, interests, and availability.

04

Find Compatible Families

Filter by age, interests, preferred times, language, activities, and other family preferences.

05

Express Mutual Interest

Private parent-to-parent chat opens only after both parents express interest.

06

Arrange Playdates

Decide where to meet and plan activities together, entirely on the parents' terms.

Trust and safety at the core

Built Around Parent Control & Child Safety

100% Parent Controlled

Children never log in, search, or send messages independently.

Privacy First

Surnames, birth dates, schools, exact locations, and street addresses are never publicly visible.

Mutual Consent Messaging

Direct messages open only after both parents express interest.

A parent-first hello

Every connection begins between adults.

Parents decide who to contact, what to share, and whether to arrange a meeting. Children never receive direct messages.

Sample parent message

Shared only after mutual interest

“Hi! I'm Sarah, mom to 9-year-old Jack, who loves soccer and LEGO. We noticed your family is nearby and enjoys similar activities. We'd love to connect for a playdate!”
