Newborn through preschool

From your first days home to their first day of school.

These are the most formative years, and you shouldn't have to wing them off TikTok. Pod Squad plans every day for your baby's exact age: what to do together, what to feed them, what to print, where to go. Open your phone and know exactly what to do today.

How it works

We plan it. You play it.

You're the one on the floor with your kid; that part was never the problem. The planning, the printing, the “what do we do today” is what we take off your plate.

  1. 1

    Tell us about your baby

    First name and birthday. That one fact sizes every activity, snack, and printable to their exact age. Two minutes, on your phone.

  2. 2

    Your phone taps you on the shoulder

    Tonight: what to set out. In the morning: the plan, the snack, the printable. Everything sized to their exact age, so you never have to remember to check.

  3. 3

    Do it your way

    Just you and your baby on the living room floor, or start a squad with the moms you already know. Either way, it's yours.

Your rhythm

Built for how your family actually lives.

One membership, whatever your days look like: home with a baby, back at work, or doing preschool at home. Change it whenever life changes.

🍼

Between feeds and naps

Home with a baby? It comes in minutes: five short moments a day for a newborn, three little play invitations for an older baby, each made for this exact week.

🧸

After daycare

Your little one is in daycare or preschool, and you want the hour after pickup to be the good one. We hand you 30–45 minutes, ready to go: no Pinterest, no Amazon tab.

🌞

Weekends

Saturday is the adventure (a park, a museum, a market near you), Sunday is the project. The whole week's theme in two days, with none of the planning.

🏠

Preschool at home

Run the whole morning on it. Toddlers get two good hours in short blocks, with a 30-minute busy-day version; preschoolers get project weeks with letters and numbers inside the play.

The app

The helping hand in your pocket. It comes to you.

Nobody carries a laptop to the park. Pod Squad lives on your phone and shows up at the right moment: the night before and the morning of.

  • It taps you on the shoulder

    The night before: what to print and set out. The morning of: today's plan. Saturday: a recap of the week. You never have to remember to check.

  • A timer for every block

    Tap Start and the Block Timer walks you through every block: the words to say, what to set out, when to move on. It nudges you even with your phone in your pocket.

  • Print from your phone

    Every printable, one tap to AirPrint or share. The shopping list checks off as you shop.

  • One line, one photo

    Log the win, snap the picture. It lands in your kid's portfolio and your squad's gallery.

Questions

The ones everyone asks.

Do I have to be home all day?

No. Use it between feeds and naps, in the hour after daycare pickup, on weekends, or for a whole preschool morning at home. Same app, same membership; you pick your rhythm and change it anytime.

Who is this for?

Any mom (or dad) with a little one, newborn through preschool, who wants a plan instead of a search bar: what to do today, what to feed them, what to print, where to go this weekend, sized to their exact age. Older brothers and sisters come along free as big helpers.

How much does it cost?

Free for 7 days. Then $99 a month for the first kid, 50% off each sibling, and kids 6 and up come along free as big helpers. Every friend you bring takes 10% off your bill. Cancel anytime, in two taps.

Do I need the app?

No, but it's the one we'd pick for a phone: the reminders and the Block Timer live there. Everything is also at podsquadschool.com from any device with the same login, which makes Sunday printing easy.

How much time does it take?

As little as one idea when you need one. A newborn's day is five little moments of 2 to 5 minutes, between feeds; the hour after daycare is 30–45 minutes; a weekend is a Saturday adventure and a Sunday project; a toddler day at home is two focused hours, or a 30-minute version of that same day when the morning gets away from you. Every block has a start and a stop.

Do I need to be a teacher?

No. Every activity tells you what to set out, what to say, and what to do when it falls apart, with notes for your kid's exact age. You already know your kid; that's the hard part.

Do I need other families?

No. Pod Squad is for your kids, at your table, on your schedule. If you have friends or family who want in, start a pod and share one calendar. And if you'd like to meet moms nearby, Connect is there when you want it: opt in, free, phone-verified people only.

Is there a free version?

Yes. Connect is free for good: a profile, the moms within 30 miles, groups, chats, and meetups. The plans (every day, every printable, every menu) open with a free trial whenever you want them.

What's included at each stage?

Every stage is made for exactly how long your kid is in it. Babies get a week for their exact age: short daily moments, a what's-normal note, feeding and sleep. Toddlers get the day scripted: short blocks, a job, a snack, an adventure. Preschoolers get project weeks with letters and numbers inside the play. Printables, Nourish, development, and the portfolio sit on the same account for every kid in the house.

Can we include our faith?

Yes. Optional Christian and Jewish tracks add a gentle read-aloud, a question, an activity, and a printable to each week. Faith starts off; choose it for your family and change it anytime. Both tracks are included.

Is it screen-free for the kids?

Yes. The app is for grown-ups. Kids get bins, blocks, buckets, and each other.
