Redmond-based 6crickets.com is now offering two services to help parents schedule their children’s after-school activities.

For out-of-school, after-school programs, 6crickets offers an after-school planner website that allows parents to discover, filter, schedule, pay and share activities all in one place.

For in-school, after-school programs, there is now a new 6crickets Vote service at 6crickets.com/vote.

6crickets Vote allows parents to nominate and vote for after-school programs for their schools, collectively picking the best after-school programs for their children in their schools. After-school program voting is already taking place at many schools in an ad hoc fashion. Then, PTAs and schools can view parents’ votes and invite after-school program providers accordingly.

6crickets Vote lets parents in a school contribute and participate in the process of selecting after-school programs.

Helen Wang, founder and CEO of 6crickets, said these are the first steps the company is taking toward organizing, standardizing and simplifying enrichment education management for parents, providers and schools.

“It is my belief that enrichment education is where education innovation will break new ground with great creativity and without any constraints,” she said. “We from 6crickets will do our best to facilitate this innovation process.”
