General Questions
What is the Kids' Activity Center?
The Kids’ Activity Center is the only site where parents can find all the activities that are available to children of all ages. Whether you’re looking for travel teams, camps, lessons, tutoring, something to do today, pre-schools, help with college admission, you’ll find them and much more all right here.
Is there a cost to use the site as a parent or visitor?
No. Parents can search the site for free. You don’t even have to put in any information to use the site. Kids’ Activity Center makes money when the providers post their activities.
Do I need to create an account to browse activities?
You do not need to create an account to browse the activities. Feel free to look around all you want.

For Business Providers
How do I create an account as a provider?
The icon to create an account is in the top right corner of the homepage. You’ll need to enter your email and create a password.
What information do I need to submit an activity listing?
Posting your activity is quick and easy and can be done in as little as a few minutes.
Fields that have a star are required.
A few things to note:
Your Title is what will appear with your thumbnail picture on the homepage.
About Your Activity/Event should tell parents everything they need to know and could probably be copied from your website.
- Featured Image – You have to submit a picture for your listing. Please make sure it is horizontal/landscape and it has to be a .jpg, .jpeg, or .png file that is less than 5MB.
- The Checkbox Filters are really important when parents search for activities. You want to be accurate and inclusive to ensure your activity is found. You can select as many categories as you’d like. Some categories have even more sub-categories. Click on them to expand the drop down menu.
- Post Duration – This is how long your post will be active. The duration starts as soon as the post goes live on the Kids’ Activity Center website.
Can I post multiple events or activities?
Yes. Providers can post as many events or activities as they’d like.
How much does it cost to post an activity?
The cost depends on the posting duration and can be less than $1 per day.
- 30 Days = $60 ($2.00/day)
- 90 Days = $150 ($1.67/day)
- 180 Days = $250 ($1.39/day)
- 365 Days = $350 ($0.96/day)
How long will my post stay active?
Posts stay active based on the posting duration that was initially chosen (30, 90, 180, or 365 days). The posting duration begins as soon as the post goes live on the Kids’ Activity Center website and will automatically expire at the end of the posting duration.
Can I edit or update my activity after it’s posted?
Yes. You can edit or update your posts as many times as you like during the posting duration. To edit or update your posts, click on “My Posts”. From there, you’ll see a list of your posts. Click on the pencil and you can edit your post. Please note, when you edit a post, it needs to be resubmitted again for approval.
How do I hide or delete a listing?
You can publish and unpublish a post as many times as you’d like during the posting duration.
Why would you do that?
Let’s say you create a year long post, but after a month you’re completely booked up and can’t take any more customers. Rather than getting phone calls that you have to turn away, you can unpublish your post to hide it from view. A few months later when space opens up, you can re-publish the post so it is visible on the Kids’ Activity Center again.
Please note: The posting duration does not change if you unpublish a post. For example, if you create a 365 day post on January 1 and then hide it for 2 months, this post still expires on December 31st.
Will my post be reviewed before it goes live?
Posts will be reviewed before they go live on the Kids’ Activity Center Website and will typically get published within one business day.
