Working name: Ready Kids
One price. Every course. Every kid in the house. All year.
Kids learn to be safe on their own — walking home, staying home, online, on a bike, on their first paid job — and earn a certificate for each one. Parents decide what each certificate unlocks.
$300 a year · 82¢ a day · covers every child in the household
The problem
The training exists. It just costs a Saturday and only covers one kid.
An in-person seat runs about $75, takes a whole day, and teaches one child one subject once. Then your kid turns eleven and needs something else entirely, and you start over.
The Family Pass
What $300 a year actually buys
Your own private space, not an app everyone shares. Your family’s answers stay yours.
Every course, every kid
All tracks, all badges, every child in the household. New tracks released during your year are already yours.
A private account per child
Their own space. What they answer is theirs — nobody else sees inside it, and it never leaves your family.
Your parent dashboard
What’s done, what’s open, what’s next, for each kid. You decide which badges they work on.
An assistant that answers you
“We’re out Friday 6 to 9, he’s ten, first time — what do I set up?” A real answer, from the library, at the moment you need it.
A drill every week
Sixty seconds. One thing your kid actually does, off the screen. Lock the door. Say your address. Press the smoke alarm.
The family paperwork
House agreement, contact card, route map, fire escape plan, phone contract. Fill them in, print them, stick them on the fridge.
Certificates that mean something
Dated, named, and checkable at a link. The certificate is what unlocks the privilege you tied it to.
Works on the phone in their hand
Ordinary web pages with video in them. No app to install, no plugin, no player. Captioned throughout.
They grow, it follows
Your kid moves up a level every September. So does what they’re being taught.
The courses
Three levels, because a first grader and an eighth grader are not the same person
Levels follow school, not birthdays — that’s how parents think and it’s how kids sort themselves.
Safe Start
- Being safe is yours — and it’s a grown-up’s job, not something you earn
- Your body’s alarm — noticing the feeling and saying it out loud
- Your people — four real names, not four categories
- Roads, fire, and calling 911 at six
Not in this level
- Staying home alone. There’s always a grown-up in this one.
Home Alone Ready
- Getting home — the route, the shortcut you walk past, the key nobody sees
- The door and the phone — and the person who keeps knocking
- The first twenty minutes — lock, message, eat, sit
- Feeding yourself — what’s allowed cold, and choking
- Fire — prevent, detect, get out, never go back
- When something breaks — and how to tell if it’s actually an emergency
- When it’s real — the 911 call, out loud, including your address
- Home alone with a younger sibling
Out and About
- The walk — routes, dark, weather
- Wheels — helmet, roads, driveways
- The bus, the ride, and your family code word
- In a crowd — the first sixty seconds after you’re separated
Online Ready
- What you put up — the background gives away more than the photo
- Who you’re actually talking to — and why it’s slow on purpose
- AI that acts like a friend
- Games and group chats
- When someone asks for a picture — what to do in the first sixty seconds, and why you are not in trouble
- What’s real — deepfakes, and the call that says a parent is in trouble
Getting Around Without a Car
- Bikes, e-bikes and scooters — speed, helmets, roads, dark
- Transit, being dropped off, getting home
First Job Ready
- The job, and what “in charge” means
- The business — your résumé, your rate, and the right to say no to a job
- Your own safety — your ride home, arranged before you go
- Ages and stages · the everyday · somebody else’s house
- When it goes wrong — who do you call first?
Course detail
What a lesson actually is
Every lesson in every level is the same seven parts. Twenty minutes, on a phone, at the kitchen table.
The Day Kit
Want to run a day of it? Buy the box.
A school, a rec department, a firehouse, a gym, a scout troop, a parent with a room and a free Saturday. You set your own price, you keep what you charge, and you don’t need to know the material.
What runs the day
A suggested run sheet on the front-of-room screen and on each kid’s device, so the room has a shape. You start it, hand out the supplies, and keep an eye on the room. Adjust anything, any time — it’s your day.
- A roster and a join code
- A live view of who’s answered what
- Attendance you can mark off
- No manual to read. The screens carry the teaching.
What’s in the box, per kid
- Lanyard and printed badge card
- Practice supplies — roller bandage, triangular bandage, gauze
- The station cards and the hazard-hunt set
- The family paperwork pack, printed properly
- An embroidered patch for the badge they earn
- The certificate on real paper
- Sticker sheet
Buy the props once
A reusable set that lasts across every day you run: a practice door, a phone handset, a training arm, a smoke alarm with a button that actually works, and the station signage.
What the box replaces
| The old facilitator kit | What we do instead |
|---|---|
| A 117-page lesson plan | A one-page run sheet on the screen. Nobody reads a binder. |
| An instructor script | No script. The films and pages do the teaching. |
| A hundred-slide PowerPoint | Ordinary web pages on the room’s screen. Changed in ten minutes, not reprinted. |
| Laminated card sets | Still printed cards — cards are better in hands. In the box. |
| Printed participant manuals | The kid’s own account, plus a take-home pack they keep. |
| Blank certificates | Printed on real stock and a dated record checkable at a link. |
| Badge stickers | Embroidered patches. |
| A paper attendance sheet | The roster, on your screen, as it happens. |
| $585 up front, before anyone registers | Order boxes after registration closes. You never hold stock. |
Where a day fits
School’s out. Everybody still has to work.
Teacher training days, March break, the random Monday in February. Parents aren’t shopping for a safety class that week — they need somewhere their kid can go. This is a day that sends them home with something.
Rec departments
The camp days you already run, with an outcome attached and nothing new to write.
Schools and PTAs
A PA-day programme in a room you already have, with a roster you already know.
Churches, gyms, dojos, troops
A dead Tuesday or a quiet Saturday turned into a day families ask you to run again.
How people find us
The lessons are the advertising
The Readiness Check
Free, four minutes. The parent answers, the kid answers separately, and you see the two side by side. No score, nobody fails. The gaps are the conversation.
Samples, given away
Individual badges and drills, free. The opening twenty seconds of a lesson is the social clip. One thing doing two jobs is the only reason this moves fast.
Parents filming their own kids
“Can your kid pass the door test?” The weekly drill is the most shareable thing we make, and we don’t have to make it.
Creators with their own portal
A parenting creator can run the whole library under their own brand, on their own list, and sell it to their own audience.
Straight answers
What we are, and what we are not
We would rather say this plainly on the page than have anyone guess.
We make the materials
We write the courses, produce the films, build the tools, keep the records and issue the certificates. That’s what we stand behind, and it’s what we’ll fix if it’s wrong.
We do not run days, and we do not check the people who do
Anyone can buy a kit. We do not screen, train, approve, employ or supervise them, and we don’t say otherwise. Whoever runs your child’s day is independent of us — their venue, their rules, their insurance. Ask them the same questions you’d ask any other activity.
A record is a record
“Marked present on this date” is a note of what happened. It isn’t us vouching for anyone.
It’s training, not a emergency service
The assistant answers questions from what we teach. It doesn’t diagnose anything and it isn’t help in a crisis. If something is happening right now, call 911.
Pricing
Two things to buy. That’s the whole list.
| What | Who | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Readiness Check | Any parent | Free | Four minutes, no account |
| Family Pass | A household | $300 / year | Every course, every kid, all year, private |
| Day Kit boxes | Whoever runs a day | Per attendee | Ordered after registration closes |
| Prop set | Whoever runs a day | Once | Reused every session |
| The day itself | — | Set by the organizer | Their price, their money, nothing to do with us |
