What an amazing day at Sunday’s L.A. Cancer Challenge at UCLA! 🎗️ More than 3,500 people came out for the event’s biggest turnout in eight years — and we were proud to be part of it. Families stopped by our booth to chat about L.A. Parent, and kids loved getting their faces painted by Amy, our talented face painter. Thanks to everyone who helped make this beautiful community day such a success! 💜

Meet L.A. Parent

Remember the day you came home from the hospital with your first child? Do you remember holding your baby and feeling this incredible sense of love and joy, but also a touch of sheer panic?

We know! We’ve been there. At L.A. Parent, we’re living it day by day-- just like you. We drive carpools, attend parent/teacher conferences, plan birthday parties, stress about the right schools and camps, and wonder if we are doing enough — or too much?

Being a parent is most definitely the most challenging job, but it is also the most fun and rewarding job we could possibly imagine. At L.A. Parent, we truly feel honored to share this incredible journey with our 170,000 readers, visitors and followers each month.

Our mission is simple: We want to bring our families the best parenting resources in Los Angeles. And we never forget about fun! Our extensive calendar of events is the go-to source of information for fun things to do with your kids each month. We provide you the most in depth list of things to do in L.A. with kids.
