Preschool & childcare directors · KudoKids partner brief

First-time parents ask about screens at home.

For books and counting games, you have a handout ready. For the tablet, there's an awkward pause — you run a hands-on program, and you can't hand out a link to more screen hours without undercutting your own brand.

Childcare directors in focus

How it lands in a low-screen program.

On-mission by design

The same routines you teach, carried home

Kids earn Kudo Coins by finishing real-world tasks — getting dressed, brushing teeth, tidying up — so the reward loop starts off-screen by design, and parents decide what coins buy, including the screen time they configure.

What parents see

See what they're up to

The dashboard belongs to the parent: they see what their kid is earning, playing, and learning — the kindergarten-ready habits your program builds, carried home. And mood check-ins, meditations, and sleep sounds cover the bedtime questions you get constantly.

Routines — a real screen from the app

Honest answers

The first three questions directors ask.

Q

We're a low-screen program — doesn't recommending an app undercut our philosophy?

KudoKids isn't asking families to add screen time — it's built for the home screen time already happening, and it's engineered to point back at the real world. Kudo Coins are earned by doing real tasks and routines, and when coins do buy device time, it's only time a parent deliberately set aside. That's a routines-and-habits answer, not a watch-time answer.

Q

I can't be seen selling anything to enrolled families.

The education-partner track has no financial relationship — no affiliate link, no commission, nothing to disclose. It's a resource on a parent handout, exactly like a book list.

Q

Is there anything to buy, install, or set up for families?

No procurement, no contracts, no student data. Families sign up directly and the core app is free to use.

Forward this

Three sentences you can paste to a family.

A lot of you ask what home time should look like, especially around screens — one tool we're comfortable naming is KudoKids (kudokids.org).

It's free for ages 3–12: kids earn coins by doing real routines like getting dressed and tidying up, and you decide what the coins buy — including screen time.

No ads are shown to kids, and no child data is sold.

Swap in the exact wording that fits how your program talks to families — a newsletter line, a parent-night handout, or a graduation packet.
