Our Kids Media has launched a new mobile application to help parents on the move, real estate agents and anyone else in Canada find a private school in the area of their choosing.

TORONTO -- January 11, 2011 (PressReleasePoint) Our Kids Media announces the launch of the Private School Locator, a mobile application compatible with the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. The application is available immediately and it is free. Many real estate agents are asked about "schools in the area." This application provides an instantaneous list of private schools across Canada. Of course, it's also of interest to parents on the move and anyone else who wants to learn more about private schools.

The application features a variety of content alongside the school locator, including the latest information about private schools in Canada, school events and more. The application can use users' built-in GPS to determine where they are and serve a list based on their immediate location or users can type a postal code or address into a search field along with the type of school they are looking for.

From there, the application provides a wealth of data about private schools in the area along with phone numbers and driving directions. The app was developed in partnership with the Toronto location-based service company, Cellflare. Cellflare's Managing Director Keith Tsao says, "Whether you are in business or just for personal use, the Private School Locator makes it easy to find any private school based on the user's location or search terms."

Andrew Stawicki, President of Our Kids Media, adds, "We are always happy to move forward into the growing areas of new media and the Internet. We think this mobile app will be tremendously helpful to anyone looking for the best schools in their area."

Our Kids Media has had over ten years of success, beginning as a summer camp guide in print, expanding into other consumer verticals and online media, to now reach an audience of over 1 million Canadians.
