Great news today for parents and their children that enjoy playing online. Parents.com and KidZui.com have formed a partnership to enhance the KidZui experience and bring more families to the kid-friendly site.

For those of you that aren’t familiar with KidZui yet, it’s geared for kids ages 3-12 and provides a free browser and online service to more than 800,000 kid-friendly sites, videos and photos. The content is reviewed by trained parents and teachers so parents don’t have to fear for the safety of their children online when they’re on KidZui. 
Here’s the innovative KidZui browser. Click the image for a closer look and see what it has to offer. 
 

This new KidZui-Parents Site will give parents tools to manage and oversee their children’s online environment including weekly emails that keep parents in the loop about their children’s online activities. These emails report on their kids’ recent searches and help parents start conversations and plan family outings around their children’s interests. Also, editorial content from Parents.com will be integrated into the new site. 
Here’s the control panel for Parents.
  

“KidZui is a perfect partner for Parents.com as both brands strive to deliver trusted and valuable content for families,” said Lauren Wiener, senior vice president of Meredith Interactive. “We’re happy to work with KidZui to deliver a safe, entertaining and educational online environment for kids, and give parents insight into what drives kids’ interests as they engage more and more in the online world.”

This partnership makes a great deal of sense. There’s no doubt that this alliance will provide a positive, safe and enjoyable experience for many families. It’s also good to know that Disney isn’t the only game in town for families. Take that, Mickey! 🙂
