BedfordKids was founded by Robin in the summer of 2003. As a parent of a busy child, Robin wanted to organize all sorts of information, from children’s activities and local events to family-friendly restaurants, parenting resources, and useful web sites. She started by emailing friends and collecting local child-centered happenings in the Bedford community and expanded the responses into a web site. She also created the BedfordKids Yahoo Group as an online community resources local parents. In 2011, Robin passed the torch on to Jenny.
If you have any suggestions, calendar listings, or resources to add to BedfordKids, please email Jenny.
