About Us
For the past decade, Miami Kids Magazine has been more than a publication — it has been a trusted companion for families across South Florida.
What began as a simple idea, to connect parents with meaningful resources, has grown into a vibrant platform where stories are shared, communities are strengthened, and families feel seen, supported, and inspired.
Every family deserves to feel like they belong.
How it began
From a notebook to a magazine
Miami Kids Magazine began in a notebook. Karla Richey started filling it with ideas in 2011, while she was expecting her son, Kenneth, and had more questions than answers about the world ahead. When her daughter, Valeria, was one year old, the notebook became a magazine — and Kenneth and Valeria have helped shape its stories, activities and events ever since.
Celebrating 10 years
Community, connection and impact
A Decade of Purpose
Over the last 10 years, Miami Kids has become a go-to resource for parents navigating everyday life, from school choices and summer camps to health, activities, and community events.
But beyond the pages, our mission has always gone deeper. We have worked to create a space where families discover opportunities, local businesses connect with real audiences, and organizations amplify their impact.
Because when families are supported, communities grow stronger.
More Than a Magazine
Through our print editions, digital platforms, events, and partnerships, we have had the privilege of being part of thousands of family journeys.
We have celebrated milestones, supported local initiatives, and brought visibility to organizations doing extraordinary work, especially those dedicated to inclusion, accessibility, and opportunity for all children.
From community events to editorial features, every story we share is intentional: to inform, to inspire, and to create connection.
A Commitment to Inclusion
Organizations we supportDifferent backgrounds.
Different abilities.
Different stories.
One shared message: you belong here.Inclusion has always been part of our DNA, not as a statement, but as an everyday practice — in the families we feature, the stories we tell and the organizations we stand beside. Giving back is not an initiative for us; it is part of who we are.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this milestone, we are also looking forward. The way families connect, learn, and engage continues to evolve, and so do we.
From digital experiences to in-person events, from editorial storytelling to community-driven initiatives, our commitment remains the same:
To be a trusted resource.
To create meaningful connections.
To support the families we serve every day.
Thank You
To our readers, partners, advertisers, and community — thank you for being part of this journey. This milestone belongs to all of us.
And as we look to the future, one thing remains certain: the best stories are still being written.
Thank you to the parents who read us, share us, and trust us as part of their family life.”
