Our team of guides of Superkid 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. We searched for the best activities to do within the constraints that we had to build the program. There is a range of different activities (culture & art, sport, games, visits, etc.) but each outing is a fun opportunity to practice French in everyday life.
The main idea is to practice and improve French outside the classroom!
This ECA of French outings, designed mostly for children ages 6–10 who are already learning or exposed to French at home or elsewhere. These outings take place in well-known cultural and educational venues in Taipei, combining discovery, play, and natural language immersion.
All activities are supervised and conducted in French, in a relaxed and engaging way. The focus is on comprehension, interaction, and confidence, not formal lessons. Although French is the main language used, guides can speak English and basic Mandarin and adapt naturally to each child’s level.
All outings are organized by Superkid and supervised by experienced educators.
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!
The video below is from Superkid's "Saturday English Outings"; it's just to give you an idea of the content and atmosphere.

Note/Disclaimer:
*At the beginning of the semester we will send you a calendar with the dates of each activity. (Tentative calendar; 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.

Notes on groups & logistics:
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 two 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 the children at LIFT campus at 14:00 and arrange to finish around 17:00.
The drop-off location is set to Daan MRT station. (Could be adjusted to another location if it turns out there is a better compromises for all families who registered). → You will not have to go to LIFT to pick-up your child.

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 5 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) 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:
As for safety we take this responsibility extremely seriously and, rather than long speeches, we have listed all the actions that we are concretely putting in place to have the safest possible service, at all levels. Please see: https://www.superkid.tw/en/safety
