KidsCo partners with Highpoint Shopping Centre to bring the school holiday FUN to Yeti-Ville!

In partnership with Highpoint Shopping Centre, KidsCo helped deliver a magical Yeti-Ville zone during the winter school holidays to support the parents at Highpoint, offer a new and unique experience, in addition to driving foot traffic back to retail

With inevitable lockdowns to keep Australians safe, it has been difficult to navigate the new ‘normal’ so the parents and children at Highpoint were in for a real treat. We all know shopping and kids just aren’t a match made in heaven, with KidsCo in action at Highpoint, it meant families could drop off the kids at Yeti-Ville to have a well-deserved coffee break, unwind and shop ‘til they drop all whilst knowing their little ones were in safe hands and completely immersed in the FUN.

The week was jam-packed with so many exciting workshops, and interactive activities specially designed to inspire creative thinking and mindfulness. DIY Fluffy Slime, Big Foot obstacle courses and science experiments like DIY Super Bouncy Balls were some of the few activities we had in-store and fan faves!

The school holiday program completely BOOKED OUT before it was set to hit the ground running with countless parents joining the waitlist. The program’s huge success is a testament to how valuable these programs are for both parents and children and emphasises the need for childcare services in shopping centres.

Seeing our little legends have the BEST DAY EVER, making new friends, coupled with the sigh of relief from parents truly brought a massive smile to our face. On top of this, being able to help support retail, entertainment, and hospitality industries heavily affected by the COVID pandemic was the icing on the cake.

KidsCo partners with Parents At Work

We are thrilled to announce our exclusive partnership with Parents At Work to help lead the way in the “new world of work”

‍

In light of the changes COVID-19 brought to us in 2020, the demand for easily accessible child care solutions has escalated for working families across Australia. With the increase in flexible work arrangements, working parents and carers are calling for a high level of understanding and value from their employers in blending their work and family commitments. This has led many workplaces into looking for care solutions to offer their employees to support work-life integration.

‍

“More than ever before working families are needing reliable child care solutions they can trust”
‍– Emma Walsh, CEO, Parents At Work.

‍

Parents At Work has been providing vital family, career and wellbeing services via their digital Work + Family Hub and Coaching & Training programs to over 100,000 families globally since 2007.

Over the past 12 months, we partnered with Parents At Work in supporting organisations to provide WFH with children solutions to their employees during the COVID-19 crisis. Throughout this period the KidsCo programs had ‘92% of 7,500 working parents enrolled in the virtual programs, saying they had 7-8 hours of uninterrupted work.’ This statistic alone was enough to make the decision to expand our program offerings through the partnership with Parents At Work.

‍

“Our partnership will assist Australia’s leading organisations in supporting their working parents balance the scales between career and family.”
‍– Laynton Allan, Co-founder & Managing Director, KidsCo.

‍

Both KidsCo and Parents At Work believe child care solutions should be fun, informative, connecting and educational – a winning combination for all; children, parents and the organisations they work for.

School Holiday Programs – Virtual and Onsite

KidsCo’s award-winning school holiday programs take place throughout the year during each of the school holiday periods and can be delivered onsite or virtually depending on the needs of your people.

Beyond work performance issues, 68% of working parents said that they don’t feel like a good parent during the school holidays. Parents can now bring their children to KidsCo’s onsite school holiday programs at their workplace for 8 hours of educational fun.

KidsCo’s team of qualified teachers organise everything from sending communications, planning each day, setting up the boardroom, facilitating activities and packing up without disrupting the working day.

The virtual school holiday program proved a huge success in 2020 helping many working parents keep their children engaged in fun learning activities whilst working from home. These programs have had great feedback over the past year and are set to go to a whole new level in 2021.

Both the onsite and virtual school holiday programs run from 8:45 am – 4:30 pm, keeping children engaged for the entire working day.

92% of our 7500 parents from the virtual program found they had 7 – 8 hours of uninterrupted work time.
