The idea of ParentHoot was founded by Parents who spend hours on google, and blogs, trying to find the best after school activities, healthcare, and advice for their kids. We realized that the best activities and schools were those recommended by our friends and community members.

As a result we set out to build an online community to provide Parents a local business search tool empowered by their community and friends.

In small town communities, nearly the entire population can be found at any local festival, football game or other local gatherings. In these events parents communicate and receive information from almost the entire community in a friendly open atmosphere.

Our Mission is to bring together the conversations and relationships found in small towns to big towns using the online community network.

ParentHoot features include: listed children businesses with community reviews, Forums, Events and Classifieds all local.

Listed Businesses: Using our dynamic map Users can view local businesses focused on kids within their community. By clicking on the Business Users will be taken to the Business Profile page. On the business profile page Users can view quick information on the services offered, message the business owner, as well as see reviews posted by other parents and engage with current clients.

Our businesses range from daycares, camps (winter camp, summer camp, march break camp), private schools, gymnastics, dance schools, pediatricians etc..

Classifieds: Parents can post items that their kids have no more use for but still has retained value for other parents. Parents can sell these items or give them away to other local parents looking for the items they are offering. ParentHoot is the only Classifieds targeting the ‘Children Stuff Market’.

Local Forums: Have a question about anything to do with your kids? Post it on our forum.

Every few months your child grows out of their clothes, cribs, car seats and gets bored with their toys. You end up with a pile of clothing, toys and other children stuff that you don’t know what to do with. More likely than not, there is still value to this ‘stuff’ and even more so there is a Mom and Dad looking for exactly what you have. Today you can post your stuff on kijii, amazon or ebay…but do you really want to deal with online transactions taking a huge chunk out of your profit. At least with kijiji you can find local buyers, however even on kijiji its over flooded with general items all the way from technology products to cars. ParentHoot Classifieds (http://parenthoot.com/classifiedads/listing) focuses entirely on parents posting their children stuff (giving away or at a cost) to parents looking for children stuff. ParentHoot focuses only on helping parents find what they are looking for. Through ParentHoot you can see if the member selling/giving away the item is your friend or a friend of a friend. Finding what you need is easy using the categories, price, and location filters.

Posting a classified is completely free.

The internet is filled with networking, social media this and social media that. We have facebook for general socializing, business networking with linkedin, status updates with twitter, tumbler for blogging, pintinterest for posting your interests, yelp for reading reviews on restaurants, etc. We have a social networking platform for almost every of niche market, yet there hasn’t been a real network for parents…Until now. ParentHoot is a community by parents for parents. Looking for a new local daycare? Want to read the reviews? See which other parents have their kids in the same daycare? Need to organize a ride to the local activity. Just log onto www.parenthoot.com and use the dynamic map tool to find what you are looking for.
