First-time parents ask about screens. Now you can answer.
Safe screen time for kids 3–12 that instills growth — routines-first, so it extends the habits you teach instead of contradicting them. No ads to kids, no child data sold, free for every family, and nothing for you to run, buy, or disclose.
Tasks, Coins, Games — That's the Loop
Parents set routines and tasks
Chores, reading goals, wellness habits — configured once.
Kids earn Kudo Coins
Completed tasks earn coins. Educational games earn them back.
Screen time self-regulates
Fun games cost coins. No timers, no fights — kids budget themselves.
Free plan available for families — tasks, games, wellness tools, and the parent dashboard cost nothing.
What You're Recommending
First-time parents ask you what home time should look like — and for screens, most "educational" apps only add watch time you would never endorse. KudoKids is the routines-first exception, and the free plan is the real product, so the recommendation never becomes an upsell to your families.
It carries your routines home — it doesn't add screen hours
You spend tours talking about hands-on, independence-building learning; you can't hand families a link to more watch time without undercutting your own brand. KudoKids works the other way. Kids earn Kudo Coins by finishing the same real-world routines your classroom builds — getting dressed, brushing teeth, tidying up — and parents decide what coins buy, including the off-app screen time they configure. The reward loop starts off-screen by design, so a recommendation stays on-mission.
It passes a director's safety check in minutes
Before you say a word to a family, open a free account and check every line yourself. KudoKids is built the opposite way from most of what's already on parents' tablets, and none of it takes your word for it — no card, no demo call, no committee.
The free plan is the whole product — so it's a handout line, not a program to run
Free Explorer includes the routines and tasks, the full library of games, the wellness tools, the parent dashboard, and a first companion, Cosmo. Premium ($11.99/mo or $99/yr) is a parent's choice that unlocks the other themed worlds, companions, backgrounds, and companion looks and extras — it never walls off the learning, and it is never pressure on a child. No center login, no classroom dashboard, no procurement, no student data, no DPA. Families sign up directly at kudokids.org; your total lift is one line in a newsletter.

Common Questions
No. 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. Coins are earned by doing real tasks and routines, and when coins buy device time, it's only time a parent deliberately set aside. That's the routines-and-habits answer your program already stands for, extended past pickup — not a watch-time answer.
It's built for ages 3–12. At the youngest ages it's routines done alongside a parent — which matches the co-use guidance you already give families — plus calm-down and sleep tools. And it grows with the family through elementary school and older siblings, so it's one answer that lasts long past graduation.
You won't be. 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. Families sign up directly with KudoKids, and the core app is free to use.
Fair caution. Here the free plan is the whole product — routines, the full library of games, the wellness tools, the parent dashboard, and a first companion — so there's no auto-renew trap waiting for families and no upsell riding on your recommendation. KudoKids is founder-funded, with a stated commitment to keep the core app free for every family. Premium is a parent's choice, never pressure on a child.
Nothing to run. No center login, no classroom dashboard, no daily posting, no procurement, no student data, no DPA for licensing to review. It lives at home, run by parents. Your total lift is one line in a newsletter or one handout at pickup.
Honestly, not yet — it's live in early access. What exists today: it's recommended by child-development experts, therapists recommend it to families they work with, and the safety practices are stated plainly enough to check against your own vetting in minutes. We'll give you a one-page facts sheet for your files.
