Our team of guides is used to bring kids around the city to enjoy activities which are both fun and educational. But for this semester-long or year-long program we decided to be even more ambitious and choose to work on some important themes, hoping to contribute to the development of some of your children’s soft-skills over the course of the year.

 

The year is divided into 4 sections where we learn to embrace diversity, grow in awareness, dare to explore and live in community. We searched for the best activities to do within these themes (and within the constraints that we had) to build the program. There is a range of different activities (culture & art, sport, games, visits, etc.) but every experience will help the children one way or another to gain understanding of the theme.

We shall only present things from a general point of view, neutrally, for the sake of discovery and awareness. In particular, for activities related to religion in the theme of Diversity & Respect, we shall not direct the children into the details of beliefs and strictly respect the principle of a secular education.

Also, the program is designed in hopes that they learn more about the local culture as we believe that being in an international school should not prevent them from understanding and connecting with the society they live in.

 

In the end, we believe we have come up with an exciting program of safe, fun and educational activities, all serving a greater purpose. We can’t wait to get started for a new semester and have our professional guides bring your child out of campus every Wednesdays to experience them all!

Note/Disclaimer:

*At the beginning of the semester we will send you a calendar with the dates of each activity. (Tentative calendar only; in case of bad weather we might switch the dates of outdoor activities with the dates of indoor ones.)

*We will try our best to do all of these activities; but since some of them depend on third-parties and/or on the success of ongoing or new partnerships, we cannot guarantee to be able to realize all of them. Should an activity not be able to go forward we will replace it with another one, trying our best to preserve the theme and quality of the program.

Unfolding of each week's activity:

  • Introduction to our theme and Rules&Safety (only the first week of each new theme)

  • Reminder of Rules&Safety

  • "Conglom" (daily discussions and team-building activities to meet the physical, social and emotional needs of students)

  • Transportation

  • Activity itself!

  • Snacks

  • Debrief

  • Transportation to drop-off point(s)

Notes on groups & logistics:

Each group will be led by 1 guide.

Depending on the group, the guide will mostly use French or English or Chinese, but all of our guides speak fluently at least 2 or 3 languages and will of course switch if there is a need for the safety or comfort of the children.

In order to allow the kids to build a stronger connection with the guide they will have throughout the semester, we plan to limit the changes in personnel and allocate maximum 2 guides to each group for the entire duration of the semester. But kindly note that, despite our efforts, we might have to change the guide on some dates in case of human resource shortage. In all cases rest assured that the guide will be one of our professional team at Superkid 超悅小子 and up to the standard that you can expect.

 

In terms of logistics, the guide will pick-up his/her group of kids at LIFT campus at 14:00 and arrange to finish around 17:15.

The drop-off location will be decided together with the families who registered, according to everybody's preferences (most likely in a central location; for example, in the previous drop-off locations, there were NTU Hospital MRT station exit 1 and Daan MRT station exit 1).
→ You will not have to go to LIFT to pick-up your child. We will most likely be able to propose you a more convenient pick-up location.

About Superkid 超悅小子:

THE SERVICE

 

We are a multicultural team providing services to families based in the Greater Taipei area. Our main service is a personalized child accompaniment service. It is a door-to-door service to take the children of our clients (usually one family, sometimes 2 or 3 who come together) to go out do activities. This service is practical for parents who are very busy but do not want to put their children in cram schools 7 days a week. Or for parents who do not have the necessary family support to ask for help when an emergency calls, or simply the desire to do something on their own.


In addition, we propose activities that seek to build up children. In particular, there is a lot of work to be done on "soft-skills". Many values, which we consider key to building the citizens of tomorrow, such as curiosity and awareness, are too little present in local traditional education. Some parents, while they may have the time to take care of their children, seek our services specifically for this reason.


Finally, thanks to our multilingual and multicultural team, we let the parents choose the language used during the service (today 5 languages are available including French, English and of course Mandarin). This is a huge added value and, in fact, a good part of our clientele comes to allow their children to practice languages in a natural context, outside the classrooms and expose their kids to other cultures.


We have about half of our business volume on "recurring" services where some of our guides take care of a family's children each week on set time slots, picking them up from school and play with them, can help with homework etc.

 

THE COMPANY

 

We are a young and small company. However, we are building solid and after less than 4 years of existence and despite covid we are proud to have:

  • an officially registered company, 至岳有限公司 (Superkid being our brand and not the official name of the company) registration number 83592326.

  • checked the legal feasibility with several lawyers (we offer a service that is new in Taiwan and wanted to check not to depend on existing legal frameworks, and the rules that derive from them, such as 補習班, 保姆, etc.)

  • an insurer, Fubon, which trusts us and insures our activities despite the new type of our business

  • in the startup ecosystem, the support of private (such as Launchpad iiiNNO) and public (such as the SMEA incubator 深耕創業 which has chosen to highlight Superkid https://reurl.cc/Dd61zd) stakeholders

 

 

THE TEAM & SAFETY

 

You will find a brief presentation of each of our guides on this page: https://www.superkid.tw/en/about-us

We can provide the IDs and some background-check documents like criminal records etc of each of our guides on-demand. You are also welcome to get in touch to get to know us more. We can even plan to meet beforehand if you wish so. It is important that everything is clear with our guides as they will have the final responsibility of your child.

 

Here are the main guides who will be in charge of this ECA for LIFT:
