RockfordParent.com a local online resource for parents

From press release

Finding fun and educational activities to do with your kids and a way to connect with other parents has just gotten easier with the launch of RockfordParent.com.

RockfordParent.com is a new and completely local online resource and social community that connects Rockford-area parents with other parents and provides a comprehensive listing of family-friendly activities.

Founders and Rockford residents Becky Cabral and Kerry Beaulieu often struggled with finding local activities to do with their kids. They also hoped for a place to connect with other area moms and dads to share the joys (and challenges!) of parenting. When they couldn’t find a single source that brought it all together, they decided to create one—and RockfordParent.com was born.

From stage performances to swim lessons and everything in between, RockfordParent.com will guide you on where to go in Rockford for thousands of activities, and help you take advantage of all the great opportunities Rockford has to offer your family.

RockfordParent.com is updated regularly with an online events calendar of family-friendly activities in the Rockford area. A lively online forum dubbed “The ChatterBox” offers a place for parents to connect and chat with other parents to exchange questions, tips, advice and stories.

RockfordParent.com will also include informative and entertaining articles about a variety of topics including recipe and craft ideas and children’s book reviews. Parents will also be pleased to find special money-saving offers from local businesses. And a monthly spotlight of a Rockford-area family will inspire readers with the personal story of an ordinary family doing extraordinary things.
