McDonald’s Philippines teams up with KidZania Manila!

Heads up, moms, dads, and kids! McDonald’s Philippines is happy to announce its partnership with KidZania Manila, an educational play city for kids that will open in 2015.

KidZania Manila will feature McDonald’s Burger Shop where kids age 4 to 12 years old will learn the ingredients that go into every McDonald’s Cheeseburger and each step of the process in making it. The training that kids will undergo is the same standard procedure that ensures Quality, Service and Cleanliness delivered to every customer and each meal enjoyed in any McDonald’s around the world. It’s definitely a fun experience where kids develop their skills and teach them the values of responsibility, hard work and discipline.

Kidzania and McDonald's Philippines MOA signing.

This partnership strengthens McDonald’s commitment to children’s wellbeing as it continuously paves ways to provide enjoyable and enriching experience for families, the McDonald’s way.

 “We are definitely excited about this partnership as it strongly adheres to our commitment to Filipino families especially kids, " said McDonald's Philippines President and CEO Kenneth S. Yang. "We have existing programs that are especially designed for our youngest customers such as Kiddie Crew, a summer program wherein kids are trained like a McDonald’s crew and enjoy fun activities and creative workshops. We have Family Fun Days that we regularly hold in-store and the annual McHappy Day that encourages families to go out, play and enjoy a morning of fun run and various activities. Now that McDonald’s Burger Shop will open at KidZania Manila, it is yet another innovative way to have a fun activity for kids which at the same time teach them essential life skills and values. We are looking forward to hear their good stories as they enjoy their experience at the Burger Shop.”

Kidzania Manila - where kids can be anything!

“Like KidZania, McDonald’s is a brand that loves and is loved by kids around the world,” said Maricel Pangilinan-Arenas, Governor of KidZania Manila and President and CEO of Play Innovations Inc. “We’re very excited to have them as an ally in giving children a truly realistic, immersive experience. Our goal is to empower kids in a fun way, by letting them experience how a community works, how to make and manage money, and how to cooperate and work with other people—all of which are necessary for success in the adult world.”

Be sure to watch out for the opening of McDonald’s Burger Shop at KidZania Manila where kids can develop their skills, learn important values and meet new friends while having an awesome time!

The McDonald's Kiddie Crew Workshop + Giveaway!

After the Holy Week, my little man embarked on another summer activity - the McDonald's Kiddie Crew Workshop. He took part in this workshop last year, and he even won gift certificates (plus bragging rights, lol) for being the 'Cutest Kiddie Crew of the Week'. But because the little man wanted to become a 'Kiddie Crew' again and seeing how much he enjoyed the experience last year, I decided - on a whim - to sign him up for the workshop again.

Kiddie Crew year 2 for my little man!

And so on the morning of April 21st, the little man and I trooped to McDonald's Rizal Avenue, together with his other crew mates (and their parents) for Batch 4 of the Kiddie Crew Workshop. As I've mentioned before, this workshop is done in batches, with each batch going on-board for five days, 2 hours per day. Registration fee costs Php 595, which includes the Kiddie Crew uniform (shirt, bag, cap, chef's hat, apron, ID with lace), workshop materials, plus meals for the kids.

Clockwise from L-R: Chef's hat, shirt, cap, bag, ID with lace, apron.

Now I bet you didn't know that McDonald's has been hosting this summer program for 21 years now. Yes, the first Kiddie Crew Workshop was actually held way back in 1991!

More Kiddie Crew adventures, plus a giveaway after the jump! :)

The McDonald's Kiddie Crew Experience!

This post should have gone live two weeks earlier, but for some reason I got swamped with too much blogwork that I wasn't able to post as originally planned. Anyhow, better late than never, and here goes a quick (maybe a bit picture heavy) recap of one of the most popular summer activity here in the Philippines - the McDonald's Kiddie Crew Workshop.

Kiddie Crew paraphernalia!

The McDonald’s Kiddie Crew Workshop is a summer program specially designed for kids ages 6-12 years old. (Take note that my son is only four, but he got accepted anyway.) Registration fee for the said workshop costs Php 550, and includes the following items: shirt, cap, bag, ID with lace, and workshop materials.

Eager beaver! The little man's winning photo in the
Cutest Kiddie Crew contest on Twitter. 

Done in batches, the workshop spanned the months of April and May where each batch went on-board for five days, 2 hours per day. The little man joined Batch 3 at SM San Pablo, which covered the week of April 15-20.
