2 creditsFor parents who love YouTube
Turn family creativity into a channel that can earn.
You already make up songs and stories at bedtime. Build them into a channel as a side project. With steady, original videos, a channel can qualify for YouTube earnings. Here is the real path.
Join the YouTube Partner Program
1,000 subscribers, plus 4,000 public watch hours in 12 months or 10 million Shorts views in 90 days. Joining is a review, not automatic.
Made for Kids means contextual ads
Kids' videos are set to Made for Kids. Ads are contextual only, so they usually pay less per view than other channels.
Quality and consistency count
Each video needs its own story. Mass-produced or template videos can't be monetised. A steady rhythm beats a burst.
We can't promise views or income, and nobody honestly can. Toddlecast makes the steady, careful habit a lot less work.
For plannersA 12-week plan, a watch-hours simulator and a cost comparison.

Bars share one scale. Credit prices are v1.1 planned prices; plan costs use monthly billing and the cheapest top-ups.
Watch-hours simulator

Month 19
The line shows watch hours in the rolling last 12 months. Assumes each video's views arrive evenly over its first year and the pace stays the same. You also need 1,000 subscribers, which this doesn't model. No revenue figures: they depend on things nobody can promise.

Kids Studio is part of Family.
The questions parents ask first.
Is this just more AI slop for kids?
It's built to be the opposite. Every video starts from your idea, gets its own story and an original song, keeps a fixed cast, and goes through a safety check and your review. Toddlecast never mass-produces templates and never publishes on its own.
Can a family channel really earn money?
It can qualify for YouTube earnings, but not quickly and not for everyone. You need the YouTube Partner Program: 1,000 subscribers plus 4,000 public watch hours in 12 months, or 10 million Shorts views in 90 days. Kids' videos are Made for Kids, so ads are contextual only and usually pay less per view. Build it as a side project you enjoy. We can't promise views or income. Read the full guide.
Is it safe for my kid to use?
Kids Studio is designed so that you stay in charge: you turn it on, set time limits and a PIN, and nothing leaves the app until you review it. If your child seems sad or worried, Bee answers kindly, suggests talking to you, and you get a notification.
Do I have to set Made for Kids?
Yes, for videos made for young children. Toddlecast reminds you on every upload checklist, along with the altered-content setting. Made for Kids rules, explained.
Do I own what I make?
Yes. Your scripts, characters and finished videos belong to your workspace. Music and voice follow the commercial-use terms of the service that made them, and we record which one for every video.
Does Toddlecast upload to YouTube?
No. It prepares the video, thumbnail, title, description, tags and chapters. You upload and press publish yourself, so a person is in charge of every video that goes out.
What if I run out of credits?
You get a warning at 20% left. At zero, generation stops. No negative balance, no surprise bill. Buy a top-up from $12 for 100 credits, or wait for next month.
Can I cancel any time?
That's the plan: cancel a monthly plan whenever you like and keep access until the end of the month you paid for. Final terms come with launch.
Start free: 30 credits.
We plan to open in small batches, starting with 500 families and creators. Join the waitlist and your account starts with 30 free credits. No launch date yet.
