Who we are
Little Star Cruisers isn’t a big faceless corporation. We are parents who are determined to fill the need for safe virtual playgrounds for our kids. We are in the trenches of parenthood — learning to juggle three young kids, all under five. Between the growth of our family and the recent changes in the digital world, we realized that there are very few appropriate digital play areas for our kids.
There are games available for little ones, but they tend to have low quality graphics, unfriendly interfaces, ads appearing at inappropriate times or exploitative microtransactions. My three year old does not need to buy things from your in-app store! We couldn’t find much that had the right balance of safe and engaging for our kids. We know there is a need for digital entertainment for kids — we have tried to take our little cruisers to eat at a restaurant, wait in a line, fly in an airplane; these activities are all only possible armed with your wit and extreme attentiveness. But we are human, and sometimes that is just more than we can handle.
We are creating the games and apps that we want to use for our kids. They are the first three testers at every stage. When they hear the soundtrack to “Snap, Pop and Sprout” playing in the office, they come running and ask to “pop bubbles.” We will never put anything out that we wouldn’t want our kids to use. We promise to maintain integrity and innovation in our products. We also promise to share our thoughts on kids in the digital age with you. We want to open the discussion about screen usage, parenting philosophies, and entertainment ideas with you. We want you to be involved in our projects and we want your feedback! It takes a village, and we want to form one with YOU. Welcome to Little Star Cruisers, we hope your kids come running when they hear the soundtracks too.
