Global edutech and multimedia company In KidZ is making change through play by launching newly-designed activity kits that expose children to the sites and uniqueness of an entirely new culture, one box at a time. In KidZ has introduced bold and vibrant newly-designed learning kits representing Australia, Black America, Dia de los Muertos, Guatemala, Italy, and France. The learning kits are filled with interactive, family-friendly activities and games designed for children ages 3 and up. Tailored for any family’s budget and size, they are available in small kits for $29.99 and large kits for $49.99.
In addition, the In KidZ Academy will launch on location at Booker T. Washington Child Development Centers in Phoenix, Arizona, serving more than 700 students this school year. The curriculum-based program aligns with common core state standards, and fosters cultural inclusivity. In KidZ classroom activities allows children to authentically engage with and celebrate various cultures around the world, while providing a guide for teachers to encourage culturally sensitive dialogue that enhances the classroom experience for all kids.
“We are excited about the growth of the In KidZ brand and believe it signifies that parents, caregivers and educators are looking for fun ways to teach kids to embrace differences and learn about each other’s heritage,” said Dr. Zabina Bhasin, child psychiatrist and founder of In KidZ. “Now in our third year, we’re not only expanding to reach more children through the academy, but also our retail footprint to make it more convenient for families to play and learn together.”
“We want to do all that we can to create the best possible educational experience for our children. With the changes that are occurring nationally within diversity and education, I believe that it is imperative to teach our brilliant youth how to be global citizens and how to be accepting of each other’s differences. This curriculum provides our next generation of doctors, lawyers, leaders, educators, and artists a deeper understanding of the world and each other,” stated Jevin Hodge, President of Booker T. Washington Child Development Centers.
In KidZ activity kits are curated by trusted ambassadors who are subject matter experts from around the globe with experience in cultivating children’s emotional intelligence and fostering healthy social interaction for kids. Each country and culture kit gives youth and adults alike a look into the many traditions that are celebrated around the world. Families quickly learn that there are more global similarities than differences. The activities in each box are designed to spark an interest in children becoming global citizens, while also expanding their sense of belongingness.
In KidZ activity kits are available online and at national retailers, including select Kohl’s stores and Kohls.com for a limited-time. To learn more about In KidZ visit www.inkidzco.com/
