Managing children profiles

Your children's profiles help Park Bench personalize recommendations, filter events by age, and organize your calendar.

Adding a child

1. Go to Settings > Family
2. Scroll to the Children section
3. Tap Add child
4. Enter the child's first name and age
5. Optionally select their grade and school

Editing a child's profile

Tap the edit icon on any child's card to change their name, age, grade, or school. Keeping ages current is especially important — it affects which events get recommended.

Removing a child

Tap the delete icon on a child's card to remove them. Events assigned to that child won't be deleted, but they'll no longer be tagged with the child's name.

Schools

Each child can be associated with a school. Search for schools by name — Park Bench has 1,896 NYC schools in its database across all five boroughs. Selecting a school:

• Connects you to that school's community circle
• Helps surface school-relevant events
• Helps Park Bench recommend events near you

Tips

• Children's first names are used by the assistant and appear in event assignments
• Age is the primary filter for event recommendations — an event for ages 3-5 won't show up if your children are all older
• You can add children at any time, not just during onboarding
