MyDNA Kids for schools and parent associations

A parent session worth a place on the school calendar

A MyDNA Kids parent session gives families something practical on food, sleep and routines at home, with a consultant who follows up one to one.

The results are the parent’s to share. A parent who chooses to tell the school what they learned gives teachers a way to support the child’s day, and that helps the child.

The parent calendar

The parent calendar is full of bake sales and fairs

Parent associations are good at raising funds and bringing families together, and parents keep asking for sessions they can take something home from.

Anything touching children’s health has to be handled carefully in a school, with no pressure on families and nothing that goes near the classroom. MyDNA Kids is set up to sit on the family side of that line.

The partnership

Good for your school. Better for your families.

What your school gets
What your families get

A session parents value

A practical talk on nutrition, sleep and routines at home, with time for questions. It gives your parent calendar something with real substance alongside the fundraisers.

Food for school days

The review covers how a child tends to take up nutrients such as iron and vitamin D, and habits like skipping breakfast. Parents get ideas for breakfasts, lunchboxes and dinners that suit their child.

Light on your staff

Your PTA or parent relations team books the date and shares our parent letter. MyDNA brings the consultant, the materials and all the follow-up.

Sleep around an early start

Body clock and deep sleep reports feed into bedtime and wake-up routines that fit a school timetable.

Kept on the family side

The school never receives a result or a list of who took part from MyDNA, and nothing happens in class. If a parent chooses to share what they learn, that is their decision, and it can help the school support their child.

A consultant who comes to them

The sample is collected with the parent at home or somewhere convenient, and the consultant walks them through every page, then follows up. It’s all included, with no separate consultation fee.
What the reports cover

The reports behind school-day routines

A few of the 500+ reports a consultant can draw on for a school-age child’s review, named exactly as parents see them in their own account. Each shows a tendency, not a certainty. Genes don’t change, but the reports update as research advances, at no extra cost.

Genetics is about 30% of the picture

The other 70% is what a person does with it. That’s why every kit comes with a MyDNA consultant who explains the results and builds a plan with the parent. Included in the price, not sold on top.

How it works, and we do most of it

Step 1

Agree the session

We meet your PTA committee or parent relations lead, agree a format and a date, and confirm it in writing.

Step 2

Invite families

Share our parent letter and session notice through your usual channels. Coming along is open to every family and optional for all of them.

Step 3

We host

A MyDNA consultant runs the session and answers questions. Parents who want to go ahead contact MyDNA directly afterwards, in their own time.

Step 4

One to one from there

Each family’s sample is collected with the parent present, away from the school day, and the review is delivered privately. The school has no part in results unless a parent chooses to share theirs.

Pick the format that suits your school

Parent talk

A talk for parents on food, sleep and routines for school-age children, and on what a child’s DNA can and can’t tell a parent, followed by open questions.

BEST FOR
PTA speaker series, at a time that suits your parents

Parent coffee morning

A relaxed table after morning drop-off where parents can chat to a consultant for a few minutes, pick up the parent letter and ask anything.

BEST FOR
Schools where parents gather at the start of the day

Parent-benefit partnership

A standing arrangement for your school community, with terms agreed with the PTA or the school.

BEST FOR
PTAs that want an ongoing benefit for families

Partner terms are agreed on application. Talk to us and we’ll put a proposal together for you.

Results belong to the parent.

Your school only sees a result if the parent chooses to share it. MyDNA never passes on a result, a list of who took part or any grouping of children. Data is never sold, leased or shared with third parties.
