Our mission is simple: We want to bring our families the best parenting resources in Los Angeles. And we never forget about fun! Our extensive calendar of events is the go-to source of information for fun things to do with your kids each month.  We provide you the most in depth list of things to do in L.A. with kids.

L.A. Parent began with a vision: To discover Los Angeles through the eyes of a child. The first issue of the magazine, originally called “Pony Ride,” was published in 1980. For more than 35 years, we have been a companion and a guide for families throughout L.A., and we’re looking forward to continuing that tradition for generations to come.

Our Magazine
Our monthly magazine is distributed at more than 2,000 locations throughout the city and provides award-winning articles on a wide range of parenting topics, including education, health and wellness, family travel, and extensive coverage of organizations and people making our community a better place for families. Each issue also features a comprehensive calendar of family-friendly events and things to do in L.A. with kids.

Special Publications
Each year, we publish special-edition issues designed to provide essential resources for our families. Our Education Guide provides articles on early education, elementary, middle and high school and the road to college. It covers both private and public schools in Los Angeles county, as well as innovative trends and news regarding education in California.

Our award-winning Inclusive L.A.  is an annual publication designed to give families information on new therapies and treatment options available, as well as enrichment and educational resources in L.A. County for children with special needs. 

Our latest special edition, Beyond L.A., is all about enjoying life outside L.A.-- whether that’s a drive away or on another continent.
