A Brief History of Safe Search Kids
Safe Search Kids was created in 2009. We launched our first website design in September of the same year, just in time for the school year. Originally, it was a simple website that only provided Google SafeSearch through their Custom Search Engine Program. Our search filtering was limited and since those early days we have employed the power of a custom API that ensures strict filtering of the web.
The popularity of our website grew and over the years we went through many designs. The goal was to do more than providing only search tools. To be frank, the simplicity of our website did not comply well with Google’s growing standard for high quality content. This propelled us to begin providing resources for parents and educators. Today, this is primarily achieved through our multiple articles in a variety of relevant categories. We continue to offer safe search features and is used by hundreds of schools and households worldwide.
