Science & trust
Built to feel credible in the moment.
KidClimb is designed for real families: clear steps, safety-first framing, and transparent sources. We label what’s verified, and we’re honest about what’s still being upgraded.
Our promise to you
- Safety-first language and design (supervision, environment, and age fit).
- Sources where possible, and transparent labels when sources are missing.
- No “behind” framing. Kids develop at different paces.
We support your parenting climb. We don’t replace professional advice. If you have concerns, your pediatrician knows your child best.
How content is reviewed
Activities and skills carry a quality label. This is a living system. Older content gets upgraded over time.
DraftEarly content, still being refined.
Needs sourcesUseful, but missing citations/sources.
ReviewedReviewed for clarity, age fit, and safety.
VerifiedReviewed + has sources/citations attached.
You’ll see these labels on detail pages and in browse lists, so you can scan fast.
The systems behind trust
Trust isn’t a badge. It’s a set of checks. Here’s what KidClimb does (and what you can verify in-app).
- Eligibility gate: activities must have core fields (title, age range, steps, safety note, and an image) to be broadly surfaced.
- Age gate (soft): recommendations prefer age-fit content and only allow near-range items when needed.
- Sources gate: Reviewed/Verified labels are downgraded when sources or citations are missing. We won’t imply review without evidence.
- Editorial queue: we track missing sources and “age mismatch” flags so humans can fix issues systematically.
Where you’ll see trust signals
- On an activity/skill detail page: status, reviewed date, and sources list (when available).
- In lists: a small quality badge (Draft/Reviewed/Verified) so you can scan fast.
- A “Report an issue” action on content pages to flag mismatches or safety concerns.
