For Employers & HR Teams

Weekend planning is the hidden second shift for working parents. Play Map LA is a vetted, live inventory of ages 0–6 events, places, and classes across Los Angeles that HR and benefits teams can share without building or maintaining their own family content. Every listing links to its official source for times, tickets, and registration — we are a discovery layer, not the venue, and not a benefit vendor or medical advisor.

Share a single link or a lightweight intranet embed and parents land on a dated, filterable list they can open on a phone on Friday afternoon. No enrollment, no login, no PII — just a resource that reduces weekend-planning burnout.

What to share

Deep links into live hubs and tools — each stays current without work from your team:

• This weekend with kids — dated Fri–Sun list parents open on a phone.
• Free & low-cost — no-cost and low-cost outings for family budgets.
• Storytimes — library and literacy programs across LA.
• Weekend outing planner — age × area × free × indoor/outdoor into the live list.
• Toddler outing checklist — printable bag, timing, and backup list for younger siblings.
• Hot-day / rainy-day switcher — indoor, splash, libraries, or free picks by weather mode.
• Weekend embed & badge — compact widget at /embed/this-weekend with region param (try Pasadena, Westside, South Bay — keep Powered by attribution).
• Parks & places + Classes — playgrounds and parent-and-me schedules (use ?region= on the embed to seed a neighborhood lane).

How to share on intranet, Slack, or ERG

Two options, same content. Keep the Powered by Play Map LA line on any embed or blurb. No scrape, no vendor contract.

One-line text link

For Slack #parents, Teams, email, or any intranet rich-text field:

Weekend plans with little ones (ages 0–6): <a href="https://playmapla.com/events/this-weekend">this weekend in LA</a> — free, storytimes, and parks, powered by Play Map LA.

Use the plain URL https://playmapla.com/events/this-weekend in tools that strip HTML (Slack, email plaintext). For a neighborhood-seeded view, append ?region=Downtown or any region (e.g. Pasadena, Westside, South Bay).

Intranet iframe embed

Compact iframe that shows the same this-weekend list employees will see on Play Map LA. Add the ?region= param to seed a neighborhood lane; clicks open Play Map LA in a new tab. Keep the Powered by line — it is the attribution.

<iframe

Where to place it

Keep it light — one link covers many parenting-resource gaps. No enrollment needed:

• Benefits / Well-being intranet page — under Family Resources, Working Parents, or Work-Life links, alongside EAP or backup-care info. Link this weekend + free as the two anchors.
• New-hire packet & onboarding wiki — one line for parents of young kids: Weekend plans with little ones (0–6) — live on Play Map LA.
• ERG Slack / Teams #parents — pin the one-line link; repost on Fridays with this weekend as the anchor.
• Monthly benefits newsletter — footer block with storytimes or weekend planner rotation by season.

This is editorial discovery, not a benefit claim or medical advice. We describe what the link is (e.g. “weekend kids events (0–6) in LA”), not what an employer guarantees. Every event links to its official source — parents register there.

Paste-ready copy

Intranet / resource page blurb:

Working parents: find free and low-cost things to do with little ones (0–6) this weekend — storytimes, parks, and indoor/outdoor picks on Play Map LA, a live inventory that links to each venue's official source: https://playmapla.com/events/this-weekend — Powered by Play Map LA.

Email / Slack #parents post:

Weekend plans with kids (0–6) in LA — free, storytimes, and this weekend on Play Map LA: https://playmapla.com/events/this-weekend — we link to each venue's official page; no signup needed.

Pair either block with 2–3 hub links above (this weekend, free, storytimes) so authority flows to live pages. Questions or a new office region: contact us.
