Kinspire’s mission is to support families in real-world play, based on early childhood education precepts such as honoring children’s natural curiosity and spirit of invention, while encouraging multigenerational participation and togetherness. Kinspire was created by parents, designers, and technologists who design thoughtful digital experiences as a bridge to real-world connection and play. Kinspire believes the technology in our pockets can facilitate child-led, meaningful, active learning: the idea is “go online to go offline.”

Kids, parents, teachers, and experts rave about Kinspire:

“Kinspire is this incredible app that uses technology to get us away from technology. It’s kid-driven, where your child can go in with you and find activities, crafts, projects, explorations, mostly with things you have around the house, which is something I really value and appreciate. This teaches resourcefulness, and it helps us get our kids away from tech in exciting and really approachable ways.”
—Dr. Doreen Dodgen-Magee, psychologist, renowned speaker, author of Deviced!: Balancing Life and Technology in a Digital World, mom of 3

“The need has never been greater for an app like Kinspire. Already families were looking for ways to achieve more balance with screen time and to spend more time interacting with each other. Now, with millions of kids facing virtual school and curtailed in-person socializing, parents and caregivers also want to make time at home more fun. Kinspire is a solution built with the needs of today’s families in mind.”
—Chris Rettstatt, award-winning kids' product expert, dad of 2

“I love it! Perfect for those down times when my kids are looking for something to do!”
—Emma O’Neill, mom of 3, ages 1, 3, & 8, North Carolina

“I’m bored. Can I do something on Kinspire?”
—Finn, age 4, Colorado
