Our story

Built by parents,
for parents.

We started Kina because, like you, we're in it every day, raising little humans, juggling school payments, groceries, activities, and everything in between.

We are parents, and we built Kina to simplify school life and everything around it. From classroom wish lists to teacher appreciation to camp sign ups, Kina brings it all into one organized place so families can focus less on coordination and more on their children.

We built this for our family. Now it's here for yours.

With love,

Ennie & Benny
