Macaroni KID

Every business's origin story is unique. We may be biased but we think ours is pretty cool. Started by two busy parents trying to carve out time and money to spend with their family who end up with a coveted spot on Shark Tank and a pretty epic partner - shout out to @kevinolearytv.

Why do parents love and trust our Macaroni KID publishers? Not only do they provide valuable resources, recommendations and tips for families in their communities, but they also give back. Like Joy Lebo, our Macaroni KID Santa Clarita, CA Publisher who recently hosted a free family item swap in her town. Parents could drop off outgrown clothes, shoes, books, and toys and then "shop" for items brought by other parents. Families cleared the clutter and got new and needed items, all for free. Plus anything leftover was donated to local family centers. So when you're looking for ways to reach parents in communities across the country, remember that influencers are more than fancy Instagram filters and trendy music. The real influencers are the ones who make a difference.
