Partner brief

K-6 school counselors & psychologists · KudoKids partner brief

Every parent asks you the same screen question.

You cover hundreds of families, so much of the week goes to testing and paperwork — and the question that keeps finding you at pickup is what to do about screens and behavior at home. You have almost nothing free and family-facing to hand back: endorsement policy rules most apps out, there's no time to vet them, and the "free" ones have upsold your families before.

School counselors & psychologists in focus

How it lands in your building.

The school–home bridge

What you teach in small group, they practice at home

Kids name what they feel in mood check-ins and build follow-through by finishing routines — with nothing for you to run, train on, or administer. It fits where you already work: a line on your parent-resource list, a paragraph in the newsletter, or the handout that ends a parent conference.

What parents can see

Parents see what they're up to

The parent dashboard shows what their kids are earning, playing, and learning — with a CSV export parents can choose to share with a clinician.

Honest answers

The questions counselors and psychologists ask.

Q

My district doesn't allow staff to endorse commercial products — isn't sharing this an endorsement?

It isn't, and nobody is asking for one. Community partners have no financial relationship with KudoKids. Share it as one free family resource on a list of options — the way schools already share Common Sense Media.

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.

Q

We've been burned by "free" apps that turned around and upsold our families' kids. Is this one of those?

No. The free plan is the real product — routines, the full library of games, and a first companion — and kids see no ads and no upgrade pressure. Premium only adds the other themed worlds, companions, backgrounds, and companion looks and extras, and KudoKids is founder-funded with a commitment to keeping the core app free for every family.
