About KidNimble

How and why we started this:

As parents, we love to watch our kids try something new and succeed, or sometimes even better, fail at first, but persevere and overcome their initial trials. We get a great amount of satisfaction out of seeing them develop not only the skills specific to the chosen activity but also building the character that will serve them well throughout life.

As a result, we spend A LOT of time searching for enrichment activities beyond the school day -- from summer camps and holiday break programs to afterschool or weekend clinics or "drop-in" camps and sometimes private instructors or coaches. And frankly, they are not always easy to find.

We wondered why there wasn't one convenient place to find all the programs in our area and get guidance on which of them might be the best fit for our children.

Most important, when it comes to finding and coordinating kids programs, we were looking for advice from the other parents we know, the ones with kids at the same schools, or on the same little league teams. These people are a better resource than a directory could ever be and we share a wealth of information with whenever we happen to see them. Yet there was no easy place to connect with them either. We wanted a new resource to help us reach them in a more organized, consistent way.

We didn't see anyone solving this problem for us, so we built our own solution.

If you are here at KidNimble, you probably share some of our sentiments about children and likely some of our desire for a better way.

We hope you find this site fun and useful. Take a look around and please CONTACT US if there is anything you would like to see or think we could be doing better,

Sincerely,
Darius, John and the KidNimble Team
