What Parents Are Saying About Parent Pass™

  • December 05, 2023

The Parent Pass™ app is a free, first-of-its-kind app designed by parents, for parents, to provide them with information and resources they need as a parent in Fort Worth. Parent Pass™ app grew to over 8.8k users and has expanded to include all of Tarrant County. The app provides the opportunity for parents to connect with other parents while gaining instant access to educational opportunities and key resources for families and children from birth through high school.  

Parent Pass™ app includes unique features such as a local child care finder, a calendar of free neighborhood events and programs, free mental health and wellness resources, at-home child learning activities and resources, and much more.  

Parent feedback has been the driving force in enhancing the user’s experience on the app. This year, Parent Pass™ app partnered with eight community organizations to work with local parents through quarterly feedback sessions. The feedback provided has created new user-friendly features that include: 

  • Content Boost – Partnerships with PBS Kids and Cook Children’s Health Plan 
  • Gallery Views with icons for EXPLORE and CONNECTS 
  • The PREP weekly newsletter 
  • TOP 5 Daily Events  
  • 70+ Active Community Partners 
  • Parent Created Content through CHAT 
  • Customized Notifications 

Looking ahead, the Parent Pass™ team is excited to continue working with local parents and community partners to ensure the app reflects the local community’s priorities and needs and continues to iterate based on parent and community feedback. Together we are employing a whole-community, whole-child approach to build a more connected and supportive local ecosystem that enables students and families to thrive.
