​Hi, I’m Alysha, a local Kingston mum of two adventurous boys and a toddler girl! The idea for Hello Kingston Kids came to life when I was pregnant with my third baby and navigating the challenges of being laid off. This experience fuelled my passion for creating something meaningful for families like mine.

Living in such a vibrant area with an active family community, I noticed there wasn’t a place where parents could easily find all the amazing activities, events and resources happening locally. And so, Hello Kingston Kids was born—a specialised hub created by parents, for parents, connecting families with everything our community has to offer. 

In the spring of 2024, a chance meeting at a local playground turned into something so much more. That’s where I met Alana, a fellow expat and mum with kids the same age. Alana moved to the UK in 2019 and to Kingston in early 2024. She was already a fan of Hello Kingston Kids and, like me, passionate about building connections for local families. We hit it off immediately and decided to join forces! 
Now, as a dynamic duo, we’re working together to grow Hello Kingston Kids into a thriving hub for families in Kingston, Surbiton, and New Malden. We’re also expanding as part of The Local Kids Network, with even bigger plans on the horizon.

We’re so excited to share this journey with you and can’t wait to bring more connection, specialised resources, and fun to families in Kingston and beyond. Stay tuned—this is just the beginning! 🖤
