the app
Early motherhood is isolating. Whether you’re trying to conceive, expecting, or navigating the early years, ParentConnect makes it easy to find your support network.
Our new version launches 2027.
Local pods of moms at the same stage
ParentConnect matches you with small local pods built around your stage of motherhood, interests, affinities, and experiences - facilitating real-life meetups and connection.
Mom meetups, made easy
Seamless scheduling - paired with mom-powered recommendations for local coffee shops, parks, mommy-and-me classes, and more - makes connection feasible for parents in a busy season of life.
We built this for and with real moms
Our spring 2026 beta brought together 200+ moms on the North Shore of Chicago. Their input shaped what we’re building next: an ecosystem of local support that’s easy to access, easy to schedule, and powered by the collective.
