KidInfo helps US families with children from birth to age 12 learn, play, eat, connect and grow, through reliable educational resources, practical everyday family ideas and transparently researched recommendations.
A renewed project with a long history
KidInfo.com began years ago as a homework and reference directory created by a teacher. It organized links to school-subject resources, especially American history, geography and science, for students, parents and classrooms. Many schools, libraries and teachers linked to those pages.
The site you are reading now is a renewed, independent project. We are not the original creator or teaching team, and none of the former KidInfo team has joined this project. We have not copied the old site’s text. Where we restore a topic that KidInfo used to cover, such as the American Revolution or colonial life, we write it fresh from reliable sources and say so on the page.
We think the original idea still matters: families and teachers need a trustworthy, easy-to-use place to start. We want to keep that purpose and extend it to the rest of family life.
What we publish
- Learning and homework help. School-subject reference pages, starting with US history, Indigenous histories, geography and science, written for elementary and middle-grade students and the adults helping them.
- Books and reading. Book lists and reading guidance organized by age and reading stage.
- Toys, games and gear. Guidance on choosing age-appropriate toys, with clear safety checks. Any product recommendation explains how it was researched.
- Play and activities. Original indoor, outdoor and family game instructions that you can use for free, with ages, time, space, materials and supervision notes.
- Family life. Everyday food ideas, family bonding, creativity, travel, celebrations and life skills, added gradually as we can do each topic properly.
- Parent Academy. Free, self-guided lessons for parents, and later, carefully built paid toolkits.
What we do not publish (yet)
Some topics need qualified professionals. We do not publish medical, diagnostic, therapy, specialized diet, food allergy management, infant sleep, mental health, medication, first aid or car-seat installation advice until a suitably qualified reviewer has checked it. Until then, those topics stay unpublished. We will never offer a tool that diagnoses children.
How we work
Every page goes through an editorial workflow before it is published: drafting, fact-checking, specialist review where needed, and approval by a human editor. Pages show when they were last updated and list the sources we relied on. Our editorial policy explains the details, and how we review explains how we evaluate books and products.
We may use AI tools to help draft or organize material. Nothing is published without a person checking it against sources and approving it.
How we are funded
KidInfo plans to earn money through clearly disclosed affiliate links on book and product recommendations, and through optional paid parent toolkits once they are finished. Commissions never decide what we recommend or how we rank it. Free ideas on KidInfo will always be usable without buying anything. See our affiliate disclosure.
We do not run third-party advertising and we do not create accounts for children.
Who is behind KidInfo
KidInfo is an independent publication. Until individual writers and reviewers are confirmed, pages carry the byline KidInfo Editorial, which is KidInfo’s own editorial function. We will not invent staff names or credentials. When real people join, you will find them on our authors page with the qualifications they can verify.
We only link between them when a link genuinely helps the reader, never as part of a link exchange or network.
