Think play, relaxation, education and salon pampering all in one place. But think little, as in a few months old and a few years older, and then think local as in Kiskadee Kids -Playgroup, Daycare and Salon.
Just a week old, Kiskadee is the new kid on the block but the first of its kind anywhere in the country. Tucked away at Queen Street, Kitty but easily spotted because of its bright yellow colour, Kiskadee is offering among its current services a daycare that opens for ten hours; a playschool and a hair salon catering strictly for children. There is also a doctor in the house.
And this is just the beginning. In the coming months, Kiskadee hopes to roll out services that include Saturday matinee shows for children whose parents have errands to run but no one to watch them, and late night services where parents can arrange to have their children cared for while they attend a function or do anything that requires the need for a babysitter.
Desiree Albert, Head Teacher at Kiskadee told The Scene in an interview on Thursday that Kiskadee has a concept and a vision of childcare that is currently not being offered in Guyana. She said the idea has been with the owner for some time now, who she described as, someone who simply loves children.
