the app

real connections for modern motherhood

ParentConnect helps expecting and new moms find their people — right in their own neighborhoods.

We match you with a small, trusted pod of nearby moms and help you connect through in-person gatherings, cozy virtual meetups, and curated local recs.

Together, we’re creating a village that’s real, local, and built on trust.
