About iFamilyKC

Welcome to iFamilyKC, Kansas City’s most trusted resource for parents and families since 2003.

I’m Shawna Allen, proud Kansas City native, publisher of iFamilyKC, and mom of three wildly different kiddos. Like you, I’ve spent years searching for the best activities, classes, and services to keep my kids engaged and growing. I know how tough that can be.

That’s why we built iFamilyKC.
