About PARENTise (beta)

Hi, I am Andrea Howard. My husband and I live in the Philadelphia suburbs and are parents to two beautiful girls. By day, I am a Project Manager at a local hospital. When my first daughter was 3 months old I was looking for a music class to enroll her in, but couldn’t find any reviews of the classes that were offered locally. At the time I chalked it up to my new status as a parent and not knowing where to look, but when she was 6 months old my husband wanted to take her to a swimming class, and we tried to find information on the local programs.

We couldn’t find anything online, but when we talked to other parents, they were forthcoming with their opinions of various programs. After thinking about it – I realized that the information was out there, but it needed be kept in a centralized location so that everyone could access it. And so, PARENTise was born.

I’ve designed PARENTise to provide parents and guardians with the information necessary to make educated decisions about the products and services we purchase for our children. My goal is to help you become an educated consumer by providing you with easy to understand and unbiased ratings provided by parents that live in your area.

Parents/guardians will write all of of the ratings on this site. The ratings are organized by zipcode so you’ll know what’s hot or not in your local area. It’s that simple - parents like you using products and services you're interested in and telling you what they REALLY think!

PARENTise is currently in a Beta format, meaning that we are still in the process of testing our site to be sure that we are providing you with a great and usable website. We hope that you’ll leave ratings on services you’ve used and come take a look at what other people have to say too. If you see anything that doesn’t look/feel/or work right, let us know by sending an email to support@parentise.com.

If you have any suggestions for content that we should add or things you’d like to see just let us know – we’re working hard to make the site more useful for you! Send an email to me at andrea@parentise.com and let me know what you think.

The site is currently focused on reviews for services that we as parents use for our children. We will be adding reviews of products to the site in the near future.
