What About After Their Business Program?
In just the last week, our students have been able to participate in 2 incredible opportunities. Last weekend, our students set up shop and joined in a Real Adult Handmade Market through the Tri Cities Collective! That’s right! They got to set up their businesses right next to adults who do this kind of thing all the time to make profit and provide for their families. That is real world experience that they will reflect on for years.
A Letter To Our Students & Kids Everywhere For 2019
A letter to Children in communities everywhere. Congratulations to our students and children everywhere for everything you have learned and experienced in 2018! Just think of where you started last year and all that you have learned. Maybe you were introduced to multiplication and division last year. Maybe you got to jump off the diving […]
Trial & Error
Have we forgotten how to let kids fail? I always want to teach my son how to do everything in the most efficient way. I struggle to stop myself from correcting him before he begins. There is a quote from the developmental psychologist Gordon Neufeld “Never do for a child what a child believes they […]
OH! What If …..???
“Oh! What if….?” The most amazing part about working with kids is that they have yet to learn what the box is and are not limited to what ideas are “in the box” or “out of the box” thinking. Only two weeks into our after-school program launch and I’ve found a new favorite phrase. “Oh! […]
No Tech Zone After School Programs – Why We Do It
Too much screen time is often a common complaint among parents concerning their children. Oddly, however, some parents wonder how we can run a program on Entrepreneurship and teach them how to start their own business without the use of tech in this modern age. I wanted to give a short and sweet reason for […]

What’s the Purpose of Encouraging Creativity & Imagination?
Asking kids to use their imagination seems like a no brainer, right? If kids used their imagination more then they could occupy themselves through the day without iPads or video games. But are we missing the most important reason for encouraging creativity? And are we also missing out on the day to day opportunities where […]
Being Aware While Still Having Fun!

We were honoured to be volunteering at the Port Moody RibFest in the Kids Center where we had an information booth along with 3 games for kids of all ages. If you haven’t been to RibFest before, you missed out on a great event so be sure to […]
These Aren’t Real Businesses…
Businesses are Big, Daunting Tasks. Surely these 7 year olds aren’t starting a REAL Business…. Right? One of the best days I have had so far with Build a Biz Kids was at the Tinypreneurs show this year. Tinypreneurs hosts a tradeshow exclusively of kids where they set up shop and sell their wares. It was so cool seeing these young […]
