How It All Began

Being McKinney's first and original kids event calendar and parent resource guide we'd like to thank you for your continued support all these years.

Time is a precious commodity, especially for today’s busy parents. While juggling family, home, work, and community commitments, little time is left to search out fun and exciting things to do with your kids. In 2004, AroundTownKids.com was born in DFW and solved that problem.

It all started with a Mom's own personal need to find information quickly. Seven years later, AroundTownKids continues to help parents like you plan your days with your children.

As DFW ’s original online kids’ event calendar and online parent resource guide, AroundTownKids.com saves thousands and thousands of parents time, and, through our continually evolving site, gives you more time to spend with your families.

AroundTownKids.com was founded in 2004 as DFW’s original kids’ event calendar and online parent resource guide. The site offers a weekly e-newsletter, coupons, monthly contests including free birthday parties, event listings across DFW, reviews of local businesses, events, and family-friendly locales, and much more. Staffed by a team of Collin County specialists, AroundTownKids has quickly become the “go-to” site for busy parents in the area.

MISSION STATEMENT:

"AroundTownKids provides parents with convenient access to an online calendar of local kids' events, educational and other community resources, parenting advice, commercial products & services & discounts to local businesses so that they can make informed and economical choices to manage their time, energy and finances effectively for a more enjoyable life."
