Hey there, I'm Mary! 👋
I'm a mom of three, homeschool advocate, and Maryville local who loves digging up the best kid-friendly spots around. After years of hunting for parks, camps, and family-friendly restaurants for my own crew, I created MaryvilleKids.com to save other parents the same research time I spent.
Every listing here is researched by me personally - no second-hand info, just the real scoop from a mom who's been there.
I also built a free K-5 Homeschool Curriculum for parents who want a clear roadmap without sitting their kids in front of a screen all day. It's the guide I wish I'd had when I started.
