Playdates
A park or library time the families in the class can join.
For elementary school classes
Find the families in your child's class.
Plan playdates without group texts or swapping phone numbers.
Playdate is for parents and teachers coordinating with the families in a class: playdates, birthday parties, school events, and more. Children do not sign in. You join with a class code, see only those families, and post the plan without a group chat.
Who uses Playdate
Parents and teachers use Playdate to coordinate with the families in a class.
A post is a time, a place, and who can make it, shared only with that class. That is how you line up playdates, birthday parties, school events, and more, such as a class party or families who can help on a field trip. There is no separate tool for each one.
Birthday parties
Invite the class, or just a few families, and see who replies.
School events
A class party, or a note asking who can volunteer for a field trip.
Less chaos. Same classmates.
Your class only
See the families in your child’s class.
Enter the code from your teacher or room parent. You see those families and nobody else. There is no search and no public profile.
The plan
Post a playdate without the group text.
Pick a park or library, a day, and a time. Post it to the class, or keep it to a few families. Home addresses are nudged away.
Low pressure
Invite a few kids, quietly.
Private invites are visible only to the families you picked. People who have not replied just show as invited. No read receipts and no guilt.
No phone numbers
Message on the apps you already use.
Playdate has no group chat. Share a WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal link only if you want. Other parents never see your phone number or your email.
How it works
1
Log in / Sign up
Use Google, or a one-time 6-digit code we email you. There is no password.
2
Join your child’s class
Enter the class code. Add your name and your child’s first name. A photo is optional.
3
Post the plan
Post a time and a place to the class, or invite a few families. A playdate, a party, or a school event uses the same post. Reply “We’re in” in one tap.
Private to the class
Playdate is a small tool for one class, not a social network.
No phone number swapping
You do not hand out your number. Message on WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal only if you choose to share a link.
Only families in your class
The class code is the door. There is no directory of schools and no way to browse strangers.
Your data is not sold
Playdate does not sell personal information. Playdates are deleted about a day after the event.
