About Us

Helping Kids Find Friends

Welcome to PlaydateSearch.com

Making, cultivating and maintaining friendships with others when we are young is an important part of child development. How we learn to interact, build relationships with other people and develop a sense of self and others around us are partially created within the formidable years when we start to make friends as children. The more quality friends we make as a child, the more chances we have to exercise the cognitive parts of our brains that help to build how our personalities develop, strengthen our diversity, define our tolerance and empathy and learn how to create strong coping skills. And in doing so, we also establish the possibility of making lasting, and in some cases, even life-long friendships along the way. PlaydateSearch.com was developed with both the individual child and their parents or caregivers in mind, offering an opportunity through your guidance and choices for your child to find other children in your area, or even long distances, who share the same interests to play together and develop friendships with.

Conveniently search for children in your area that match your child’s age, interests, play level, values and even possible challenges. Then sign up, create your and your child’s profile and arrange safe and fun playdates with other parents and caregivers to create your child’s circle of friends. Whether you kids are newborn, or teenagers, PlaydateSearch.com is a safe and controlled way to find friends for your child when conventional methods may not have worked out in the past.

The genesis of this company began when our children were having difficulties finding friends with the same interests after deciding to homeschool them. Our kids did not develop typical interests in team sports like soccer or baseball, instead finding their passions in cars and photography and even one of our teenage boys starting his own successful online business at the age of 15 and since the friends they knew had interests in other things, our kids began having challenges in finding and even keeping friends with the same interests. As parents, we worked very hard to try and find kids their age with the interests they had, finding nothing of real value available to match up our kids with others and that’s when we came up with the idea of PlaydateSearch.com.

First and foremost, the Parents and Guardians are in control of this platform. Children are not allowed to sign up for the service when searching for matches. This is a service for Parents and Guardians to use and maintain as a resource to find matches for their children to locate possible friends and then arrange the playdates. Safety and privacy are paramount when it comes to the searches and just like any match-type website, there are multi-layered safeguards in place to maintain a safe and secure profile and presence on the PlaydateSearch.com website. Not until the parent or guardian decides to initiate the playdates do they then have the ability to share information to each other to arrange a get-together and then it is up to the parent or guardian to use good judgement in order to create a safe and fun experience from then on.

So, Sign Up and start searching for your child’s Friends today!
