Education
It is an established fact that children learn best through play and experiencing real hands on activities. The range of playful activities inside KidzMondo is exclusively created and constructed to help, encourage and advance physical growth while stimulating intellectual growth. The KidzMondo Educational Curriculum improves the development of skills and attitudes while also motivating creative thinking and enhancing self-esteem and self-confidence levels.
KidzMondo also teaches financial literacy by establishing its own economy, where kids exchange Kidlars, the local city currency, learning about money and how to utilize it.
