KidZoo

06/03/2023

When my daughter - an only child- was in preschool and elementary school, she always wanted more playdates. We asked hundreds of parents how many playdates their kids were having (averaged 1.7 per month) and how many they wanted (7 per month). 70%+ of the parents said scheduling conflicts with other parents was the biggest obstacle to setting up playdates.

So we built an app, KidZoo..to take out the effort and awkwardness in setting up playdates. Just register, add friends, tell others your kids' availability (and see theirs) and you can set up playdates in under 30 seconds!

The app is in beta, here's the link for iOS (iPhone and iPads): https://testflight.apple.com/join/NhLLnE9s
