Macaroni KID Springfield is excited to announce its expansion into Branson and surrounding communities, allowing families across Southwest Missouri to access a wider range of local resources and activities. Janel Plunkard, the Publisher of Macaroni KID Springfield since 2019, will now lead both the Springfield and Branson locations, bringing local family engagement to the entire region. This expansion covers Southern Christian, Taney, Stone, and portions of Douglas, Ozark, and Barry Counties.
For Springfield families, this expansion means even more resources for weekend getaways, day trip ideas, and exciting events to explore nearby. Each week, Macaroni KID Springfield will continue delivering its curated newsletter filled with local activities, seasonal guides, and local business spotlights, and opportunities for MORE giveaways and local experiences. There will be some shared content between the two sites, but Macaroni KID Springfield will remain your hyper local go-to resource and events calendar in Greene and Northern Christian Counties.

About Macaroni KID
Macaroni KID was started in 2007 by two moms tired of searching for things to do every day with their kids. They started a Macaroni KID site local to their community and then went about the business of finding hundreds of more publishers across the U.S. to do the same thing. CertifiKID—recognized as the top deal-finding platform dedicated to family fun and founded by entrepreneurial mom Jamie Ratner—acquired Macaroni KID in 2020, skyrocketing its growth and potential. The partner companies comprise one of the leading parent-focused digital media and advertising powerhouses in the United States. Macaroni KID and CertifiKID reach more than 3 million families each year.
Macaroni KID Springfield | Branson is proud to be included in this digital media network, creating opportunities for families in Southwest Missouri to connect, explore, and Find Your Family Fun®.
