What is Kids' Directory?
Kids' Directory is a full color monthly Family Resource Guide and is published locally.  The philosophy of Kid’s Directory is simple: fast answers for busy parents, and advertising response for our clients. Why this approach? Between work (in-home or out), full-time parenthood, and trying to keep up with the hectic pace of today’s lifestyles, few Moms and Dads have time to be leisurely about anything – especially shopping. Parents want their information quickly! Advertisers want their messages to be effective! Kids' Directory blends the two ideals together to provide a cost-effective, highly targeted option for today’s advertiser.

Kids' Directory Brings New Customers to Your Business Because...

  • We reach active buyers month after month! Frequency is the key.
  • It is designed to be quick read and is always FREE!
  • The convenient, digest-sized Directory easily fits in a woman’s purse or a diaper bag. It is easy-to-use and easy-to-keep!
  • Quality counts! Your ad is always FULL COLOR and printed on magazine-quality, glossy paper.
  • We are advertisement-driven, not article-driven, so your ad will not be ignored or get lost on the page. Kids' Directory is read cover-to-cover every month!
  • FREE World Wide Web! Yes, your ad will appear on our website, just as it appears in the Directory, at no additional cost to you. In addition, if your company has a web page, we will provide a link from our page to yours.
  • Still not sure? Call our advertisers and ask them about Kids' Directory. They’ll be happy to tell you about their experience.

Distribution. . . It All Starts Here
Each month, we deliver 12,000 copies where busy parents will easily see them. We work very hard to distribute our directories to places where children and parents spend their time. An example of the locations in our network are:

  • Our Advertisers
  • Doctor’s Offices
  • Retail Stores
  • Daycare / Child Care
  • Activity Centers
  • Sports Lessons
  • Athletic Clubs
  • Private Schools
  • And many more

"We love the Kids’ Directory! We have tried other forms of advertising and have found that the Kids’ Directory is our most reliable source for bringing new customers to our store. It really works well for us!"

JoDee Wiggins,
Owner of Honey Beez


"Just to let you know I have cut all forms of advertising except for the Kids’ Directory and my 2 church bulletins. I have someone in almost every day that has heard about me from the Kids’ Directory. I am amazed at the outreach it has given me, including many customers from other counties outside of Jefferson. Thanks Kim!”

Shelly Briones
Owner, Another Time Around, Louisville


“The Kids’ Directory has been an integral part of our success at The Playground. Compared to other publications the prices are outstanding! Cheryl and her staff do a great job of putting their publication where parents are most likely to see it. We look forward to working with The Kids’ Directory for a long time to come."

Troy and Lori Svoboda
Owners of The Playground, Louisville


“We have used Kids’ Directory since we opened in 2002 with great success.

"Baby Boo Photography has been an advertiser in the kids’ Directory for 3 years. The service and friendship has been excellent and rewarding. Baby Boo has advertised in several other publications, and our Kids’ Directory ad is the one that we see the most results from and has now become our main advertising publication. Cheryl has watched my business grow and has cheered me on with her support. Thanks Kids Directory for 3 great years of business!!"

Jennifer McCarty-Palumbo

"As a small business owner, I am very busy ALL of the time, working with the professionals at the Kids’ Directory, I am assisted every step of the way! This makes my advertising experience even more enjoyable. I have not worked with anyone else in the advertising field, who is more patient, clear, and overly willing to do their part to make my advertisements draw people to my business. I think anyone wishing to increase their business, should advertise in the Kids’ Directory!!!”

John W Ireland III

"We keep getting calls and I ask people how they heard about us and they say the Kids’ Directory”.
