Becoming a Corporate Sponsor does not guarantee an endorsement of a company’s product; all of our KIDS FIRST! reviews are conducted by independent adult and youth reviewers.

KIDS FIRST! does not sell any of the products that it reviews, but we can provide links to sites where products can be purchased. KIDS FIRST! does not receive a part of those sales.

"The KIDS FIRST! Film Critics are inspiring young voices who bring fresh perspectives to the movies and TV shows they report on, showcasing enthusiasm and creativity to each title. Their reviews are a blend of honesty and expertise, and their interviews are professional and usually the highlight of the press day. It’s my pleasure to work with them for every one of my family titles." - Nikki Stefansen, Founder/Owner, TallGirl PR

"We recommend KIDS FIRST! to all of our clients who are producing or  distributing children's entertainment content. I can't think of a better value, especially for newly launching TV and DVD properties. KIDS FIRST!  generates impactful, meaningful visibility on a grassroots level and beyond  - and it's totally turn key!" - Alan Winnikoff, Sayles & Winnikoff Communications

"KIDS FIRST! is an important voice and influencer to kids and parents for youth and family programming and an essential ingredient in our efforts to effectively target content to family & kids audiences." Andy Siditsky, CMO, Air Bud Entertainment

Companies must support important causes to maintain relevance and importance in our world.  There are multiple reasons that speak to the reasons to sponsor our KIDS FIRST! program, most importantly, we are vested in promoting the types of programs – films and digital media – that your company is producing. We do that through our reviews which reach over 4 million people with every title we promote through our KIDS FIRST! website, blogs, social media and strategic partnerships with online and print publications. We reach kids, parents, educators and other concerned adults where they spend their time, whether its online or in print.
