Kiddo – The Exciting New Digital Community Parents Would Need In Everyday Life

Finding the best and most relevant activities for your child can be a time-consuming process. We often sit at our computers or stare at our phones for hours trying to filter through all of the irrelevant and unhelpful information on the web. As a busy parent, this time-consuming process can be frustrating, often leading in final decisions being based on convenience, rather than a benefit.

But strangely, while there are food delivery or car ride-hailing apps and online shopping portals galore, there is a huge void when it comes to providing that same level of choice and convenience around children’s development programs.

In fact, 60% of parents surveyed in the UAE and wider Middle East region are willing to pay a premium on services that allow for convenience*.  That’s why Kiddo’s core focus is empowering parents to make smarter choices for their children’s development that does not compromise on quality, convenience or efficiency.
