About @Level 1 Village Community
Welcome
Our Parent Connection Center
When game developer Sam Glassenberg’s daughter was diagnosed at age five, life changed overnight. Suddenly, running a videogame studio became his "second job" as he embraced his new role as a stand-in pancreas. The onboarding process was brutal and unforgiving. As a game developer, Sam realized there had to be a better way to teach these skills—one that felt more like learning by doing and less like a crash course in glucodynamics. Level One was born out of that journey.
Why MyParent Cafe?
When we leave the hospital, we begin a difficult caregiving journey. It can feel lonely but it doesn't have to be.
MyParent Cafe is a new purpose built platform specializing in community connection amongst parents, experts and service providers.
While we will focus on building a thriving and helpful Q&A community for our supporters and community, our parents also gain access to the growing catalog of broader parent villages you will see when you login. Feel free to also engage with the open communities!
MyParent Cafe is a familiar text oriented question, answer and comment exchange. Your profile may be as simple or comprehensive as you like and the platform encourages an alias screenname to maintain a degree of privacy. Parents share their experiences and recommendations in a helpful environment. You may upvote or downvote contributions, link web resources, add to your support circles and tag those you support to draw attention to valuable resources you find on the Cafe. Uploading photos and videos are not supported.
MyParent Cafe also offers IRIS, a helpful AI Coparent. IRIS can converse in 42 languages and serves up fresh insights 24/7. The hybrid blend of multilingual AI support and human community wisdom makes MyParent Cafe an exciting platform for us to leverage.
How Do I Join and Participate?
You will need a google login to access the Cafe via the web portal:
- Join the Level 1 Village on MyParent Cafe
- Create a profile and set your preferences
- We recommend setting Level 1 as your default village
- Get started asking questions and giving answers!
- Engage the community or just ask IRIS, our AI coparent.

At this time, MyParent Cafe is a web based platform that also works (but not optimized) for mobile. iOS and Android apps are coming soon. Visit the MyParent Cafe Member Center for additional information about navigating the platform OR visit the Support Help Village inside the app.
