Why Kate Created DYT with Kids

Kate’s journey to creating DYT with Kids is as heartwarming as it is practical. After moving to Dayton a few years ago and becoming a mom, she found that the information she needed to keep her little ones entertained was scattered and often hard to find. Determined to fill this gap, she took matters into her own hands and started sharing her discoveries on Instagram. Over the course of the last few months, her account has become very popular (her post about a local Dayton play studio reached over 38,000 people)!

The Heart of DYT with Kids

At the core of DYT with Kids is Kate’s passion for local attractions and her commitment to finding the best experiences for children (and their parents). Her Instagram feed is a treasure trove of family-friendly activities, showcasing everything from playgrounds to her epic weekend roundups filled with things to do in the Dayton area.

One of the most rewarding aspects of Kate’s journey with DYT with Kids has been the supportive community she’s built on Instagram. She loves interacting with her followers and hearing their suggestions.
