Parentise-Where the Parent Is the Expert

When she was the Mom of a young baby, Andrea Howard wanted to enroll in a music class, but she had no idea if any of the local classes were any good. Other parents had opinions to share, but there was no centralized location where all of those opinions could be posted for easy access. And thus, Parentise was born. PARENTise is a free service that offers parents a centralized location to read and write reviews on services that they have used, or are interested in using with their children.

The site is in Beta, so if you’d like to help create a website where parents can share their reviews and opinions of childcare services, classes, medical services, and parents’ groups, log in and join for free and share your EXPERTise on PARENTise!
