How it started
It started with me, a mom of two little kids trying to find a kids site that had something like a school board, where kids displayed their artworks and stories etc. A place where kids could showcase their unique talent and be proud of it. A site where kids realised, accepted and appreciated differences and diversity due to socio-economic, cultural, geographical and other reasons. A site which helped me teach my kids things that I wasn't versed with - Yoga, Art, Music etc. A few hours of surfing on the net revealed scores of excellent kids sites entertaining, educating and so on. But, not what I had in mind - a one-stop simple site that is an empowerment tool for caregivers and parents. A site which helps them provide exposure to young kids while they're spending majority of time with them. ABCs, crafts, painting etc. is great, but there is a lot more too that can be done! And with technology improving - it is so much easier to access information, chat, learn about different cultures, make friends across different locations, being in touch with family..... Why not use all this even for younger kids who anyways, seek pleasure in nearly all new things! And that is how CubsandMe.com was born.
