Disclosures
KidFriendly DC is a personal blog written and edited by me, Linda Samuel.
It takes time and effort (probably way more than it seems) to create all this content and keep my blog running, plus it’s important to me that all of it is available to readers for free. So, I accept paid advertising, sponsorships, affiliate partnerships, and other forms of compensation. However, payments have no impact on my opinion of any programs, places, services, or products.
I partner on advertising with companies and organizations I am happy to endorse and genuinely believe will be of interest to my readers. Banners appear on the blog sidebar and sometimes within blog posts. I also write dedicated, or sponsored, blog posts and run giveaways for compensation — and always disclose when I do. If you click on one of those ads or links, usually a banner on the sidebar or within a post, and make a purchase, and occasionally when you sign up for a service, I may get a small commission. (Thank you so much for doing so!)
This all helps me bring you KidFriendly DC, which I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy creating.

Hello!
I work with an organization called Corazon Latino – we host outdoors events for multicultural families in the DMV area. I wanted to bring a fun, educational family event to your attention. We, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and National Parks Service, are hosting a family-friendly, free event on June 10th at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens from 2:30 – 5:30 PM.
The event focuses on citizen science – we’ll be using apps like iNaturalist to track the spread of an invasive species called the emerald ash borer and talk about ways we can protect trees in our communities -there will also be food, music, and dancing. The event is free, bilingual, and fun for all ages!
I’d love to discuss the event with you and hope you’ll consider promoting it.

On September 1, 2018, PokeWorld, a new service for kids, will open in DC.

They will also spend about 45 minutes battling each other utilizing a portable Nintendo Switch. Healthy snacks and organic juice will be provided. Children should wear comfortable clothes, walking shoes and bring a water bottle. Prices range from $35 to $45 for this activity.
Please let me know the advertising options on your site including the cost to list my website address on your site. I appreciate the help!

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Simone Henry and I am an educator based in NYC. After graduating from Harvard Graduate School of Education last May, I looked at several positions in NYC schools, but felt nervous about the commute and exposure due to COVID and ended up deciding to teach a POD of children I regularly work with who live in my community. Given that the kids were in school part time, I intended to have extra time on my hands and endeavored to start a virtual afterschool program that would offer courses in music, art, martial arts, soccer, fencing, science, dance, theatre and chess, taught by experienced young professionals of color. I ended up taking on a second job in the child-welfare space, so I am not able to run a full program, but the teachers are still available to teach 1:1 lessons that I would like to advertise on their behaves in order to drum up some business for them. Would it be possible for me to offer their services to the community of children and parents that you serve? If not, can you think of another space or institution where I might be able to do so? I frankly just want to give as many of the teachers as possible a chance to earn a little extra during a trying time, while also sharing what they love to do with children who might benefit from their expertise. Please do let me know if you have any opportunities or ideas that might help me achieve that goal. Thank you for your consideration!
Best wishes,
Simone
Hi all,
