Free to start. Upgrade when you want more.
Community is the waitlist profile, public groups, and the curated directory — no card needed. Connect adds unlimited messaging, hostable playdates, advanced parent and mentor matching, favorites, and personalized activity recommendations. Thrive keeps all of Connect and lays the longer arc on top — milestone tracking is shipped now, scheduled mentor sessions, monthly workshops, and partner discounts are on the roadmap and roll out one at a time.

Cost is not a barrier.
Hardship-sponsored memberships are open across both paid tiers. If a paid plan would stop you, write to us and we will quietly cover it.
100% of optional donations sponsor free memberships for hardship-case families.
Prices renew monthly. You can cancel any time from the account page — your family keeps its profile on Community when the paid plan ends.
Free, supportive, long-term — each at the right distance.
Hearthkin is free to enter. The paid tiers exist so families who want mentor sessions, monthly workshops, and the longer arc of matching can pay for them without the platform becoming a churn-and-stranger-feeds product for everyone else.
