In an email sent out to Android developers, Google is encouraging companies to opt-in their kid-friendly apps to the Designed for Families program. The deadline is May 28, just in time for a spotlight at Google IO.

Google announced the Designed for Families program mid-April, and has been hard at work preparing it for an official launch at this year’s developer conference, it seems. Of course, with it come a lot of concerns, such as developers sneaking adult-themed content in their allegedly kid-friendly apps. Google will no doubt cover these concerns during their keynote at Google IO. But, in order to have a family friendly spotlight in the Play Store, apps submitted to it will no doubt have to go through an extensive and critical review process.

If Designed for Families is successful, it will certainly open up a lot of options for Google–a kid-themed Google tablet maybe? Ultimately, it’ll be interesting to see where this goes, especially if it further encourages parents to buy tablets for their children. Look forward to the full scoop on Designed for Families on May 28, at Google IO!
