Think, Outside
Kinder Outside makes it easy for families to join, manage, or host all kinds of pods.
We help you match with like-minded families and pod leaders for a customized outdoor experience.
Unlike baby sitter services or hiring a tutor, our facilitators come from a much wider range of child-focused careers. It’s easy to form a specialized activity pod on Kinder Outside – just browse the facilitator profiles and find one who fits your needs. Math pod? Check. Dance pod? Lead the way. Toddler pod? Wiggle over here and pull up your pull-ups. We’ve got you covered.
Play Dates Are So 2019
Pandemic pods are the (forseeable) future. Whether you gather your own group of families or enlist Kinder Outside to make a match, forming a pod is one of the best ways to stay safe while staying social.
Our team of vetted facilitators include caregivers, educators, arts, and recreational specialists. They offer continuity of care while maintaining academic, extracurricular, and safety goals for the children in their watch.
