SCHOOL DIRECTORY • BIRTHDAY INVITES • PLAYDATE MATCHING • SECURE PARENT MESSAGING Classmate Playdate starts as a school directory created by parents who share it at each school. It becomes a community builder for play dates, birthday parties and after school activities. All in one safe, free, private app. New: now completely free for parents. Schools are activated with a single one-time $25 fee. WHOLE SCHOOL DIRECTORY See every child in your school, organized by class year or as a full alphabetical list.
Perfect for PTA’s, PTO’s and parents who want easier communication inside a school community. COPPA, FERPA and GDPR Compliant Parents opt in themselves and give explicit consent to allow other parents to contact them through the app. No information is shared outside the individual school community and the user’s specifically added friends. BIRTHDAY INVITES Send birthday party invitations directly to families using the app.
No contact list required.
A helpful option for moms and dads at schools that don’t share parent emails. PLAYDATE MATCHING Add your child’s availability and instantly see which classmates are free at the same time.
Set up playdates faster and with less back-and-forth. You start with your kid's own class as friends for playdate matching, and you can add more kids from other classes (and soon from other schools). CONNECT WITH PARENTS YOU HAVEN’T MET Once two families join the same school on the app, they can message each other securely — even if they never exchanged phone numbers. SAFE, SCHOOL-ONLY ACCESS • Each school uses a unique activation code
• Parents verify their child’s class
• Only families from your school can join
• No ads, no tracking, no selling of personal data BUILT-IN MESSAGING Chat with other parents directly inside the app.
All conversations stay private within your school community. EASY SCHOOL ACTIVATION A one-time $25 fee activates your school’s private community. Any parent, teacher, principal, PTO, or PTA can activate the school. After activation, all parents at that school can join and use the app for free. You’ll receive a secure activation code to share with families. SIMPLE PRICING: COMPLETELY FREE Now free for all parents and their families. Anyone who previously had a trial will also be converted to free. Get all the features with no extra charges!
