As a parent, the challenge of figuring out activities that will not only keep your child engaged but also stimulate them and contribute to their growth and development is all too familiar. If you have younger kids, you probably already know that having them cooped up in the house staring at screens all day is not healthy at all. If you have older kids, this need is even more urgent especially when school breaks and during the holidays.
The problem is that all the options that are available to parents for managing everything kids do today are severely inefficient. The sad fact is that parents have been left behind when it comes to tech that helps them organize, find and book activities for their kids.
Think about it; how come as an adult it’s so incredibly easy to find events, vacation stays, and product recommendations for all your needs? Yet the simple act of finding an activity that your child will enjoy that also meets you and your child’s needs, family budget, access, and interests is almost impossible? And if you are lucky enough to find something that checks all those boxes, you have to spend hours to figure out what it’s all about, book it, fill out a bunch of forms, register to various platforms, and pay for it?
As a parent, you deserve better. That’s where BeAKid.com comes in.

Imagine a world where managing your kids’ daily lives, activities, and needs is a walk in the park. What might that world look like? How much would your life change if organizing carpools with other parents that you trust were easy? What about if you could tap into a network of people whose kids share the same interests as yours? How much easier would things be if you could get instant feedback on a place you are considering at the push of a button? Or getting recommendations for vacation destinations and how family-friendly they are straight from people who have been there before you?
With BeAKid, you do not have to imagine this world anymore. We are here to show you what’s possible and to help you see what you have been missing in your life.

What benefits does BeAKid offer?
Quick question: what moments in your childhood shaped who you are as an adult? When you close your eyes and think back to your early years, what events would you say made you who you are today?
Apart from school, what children do at home, in the hours after school, and during the holidays has a long-lasting impact. It is your job as their parent to ensure that they consistently spend this in-between time in high-quality programs. Several studies have shown that this is the key to unlocking better academic performance, stronger emotional and social well-being, and healthier physical and mental health habits.
This is why we have built the tools needed to connect, inspire, educate, and entertain children inside and outside the home. Because every parent understands just how important it is to expose their child to various activities as they grow. This is how they get to laugh, make new friends, and grow into the amazing individuals we know they can be. This is also exactly what your child needs to build confidence, learn new skills, enjoy some quality time with you, learn about teamwork, and sharpen their creative skills. Activities for children are also associated with improved resilience, self-esteem, school readiness, better educational achievements, and emotional intelligence.
BeAKid promises all these benefits and more. Working with kids, we have witnessed firsthand just how much getting out of the house can yield tremendous benefits in a child’s life right from birth. And these benefits never go away!
The best part about all these is that as a parent, you’ll also get to enjoy some of these benefits as well. Getting out of the house with the kids is a chance to laugh and play together. Both the kids and adults also get to make new friends, learn new skills, explore passions and hobbies, and spend some quality time together. Together with your kids, you also get to contribute to the building of local communities. We have seen how through children, families connect in new ways and strengthen bonds that already exist.
This is why BeAKid is on a mission to help families spend some time out of their houses. We want to introduce them to new experiences that will educate them, inspire them, and entertain them. Because we know from experience that amazing things happen when kids are allowed to spend some time out of the house!
