FAQ

Q. Who runs this Website?

A. MemphisLovesKids.com was created by two sisters in 2005. Memphis Loves Kids is a true, homegrown Bluff City original. A grassroots community Web site, we're not affiliated with any corporation or network of look-alike sites. Check out our "About Us" page to learn more.

Q. What geographical areas do you cover?

A. MemphisLovesKids.com covers the Greater Memphis Metropolitan Area, which includes all of Shelby County, as well as neighboring communities in Eastern Arkansas and Northern Mississippi. We also have many readers in Tipton and Fayette Counties in Tennessee.

Q. What about tourists? I'm planning to visit Memphis with my family.

A. Although Memphis is world-renowned for its Beale Street bars and late night blues clubs, the Bluff City has a great deal to offer families. You'll find tons of information on MemphisLovesKids.com. And if you don't find what you're looking for, feel free to send us an e-mail, and also check out the Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau Website.

Q. I know of a great resource that's not listed on your site. How do I contact you?

A. E-mail us at contactus@memphisloveskids.com. We do our very best to respond to every e-mail we receive.

Q. How can I sign up for your newsletter?

A. Enter your e-mail address in the subscription box in the top right corner of our homepage. Each week, you'll receive information about events, community news, giveaways and more. It's free, and Memphis Loves Kids will never share your personal information with outside parties.

Q. How can I get an event listed on your site?

A. E-mail your information on family-friendly events to contactus@memphisloveskids.com. Events must be held in a public venue, open to all families in our community, and suitable for people under the age of 18. However, we also list events of interest to parents and teachers, such as adoption seminars, free health screenings, parenting and prenatal classes and teacher workshops. We'll include adults-only events if the proceeds benefit children's charities. There is no charge to submit an event.

Q. How do I submit my kid's photograph for "Kid of the Week"?

A. E-mail a JPEG format photo of your child or children enjoying life in the Mid-South to contactus@memphisloveskids.com . Pics with parents, teachers and coaches are welcomed, too. Please include the children's first names, ages and hometowns. If you'd like, you can also include parents' names. We receive numerous submissions each week, and we might use your photograph at a later date. Your photo might also appear on another relevant page on our Website. While we appreciate your submissions, we can't guarantee we'll have room for every photo.

Q. What is MLK-TV?

A. MLK-TV is the Memphis Loves Kids Channel, available on our Website and on YouTube. Hosted by our kid correspondent, Hannah, MLK-TV showcases news, events, places and activities of interest to children and families. Hannah has interviewed Shelby County Mayor A.C. Wharton, former Memphis Mayor and Children's Museum Director Dick Hackett, Memphis Mayor Pro Tem Myron Lowery, Memphis Wrestling Legend Jerry Lawler, Rapper Master P and others. Feel free to contact us if you have an idea for an MLK-TV segment.  

Q. How can I get my family-friendly business or organization listed on your Web site?

A. E-mail a description and a link to your Web site to contactus@memphisloveskids.com . If it fits in with our content, we'll place your information in the appropriate category at no charge.

Q. How can I advertise on MemphisLovesKids.com?

A. MemphisLovesKids.com is the Mid-South's premiere online venue for business owners whose goal is to connect with local families. We offer an affordable range of advertising options for businesses of all sizes and budgets. Check out our advertising page to learn more.
