About Kona Kids Inc.
Our Philosophy
At Kona Kids we strive to ensure that each child feels safe, accepted and in a place where they can learn, grow and have fun. Any program with Kona Kids we focus on making sure our staff are trained and passionate about supporting children to develop skills to take with them beyond their time in the play place or at one of our specialized groups, workshops or camps
.
Kona staff believe that each child is special and that each child has the ability to participate and engage with the children and world around them.
At Kona Kids we don't just believe in supporting our children but we also support young adults, families, community supports in the form of information sessions, workshops, groups and online/in person presentations.
Founder
Andee
Hello,
My name is Andrea but people often call me Andee. I grew up in the Cowichan Valley and am choosing to raise my two children here to be close to friends and family.
As a parent and as a Registered Clinical Counsellor I am eager to bring programs to our community that can support children to develop self-confidence, knowledge and skills to improve mental wellness to help prepare for any of lifes challenges.
As a parent and a counsellor I can see mental heath challenges and stress becoming more prevalent today. My goal with creating Kona Kids is that we can prevent those life challenges from taking over or needing larger interventions when they are older.
I want to make mental wellness fun so that children are ready and confident that they can be okay.
