Preparation for Free-play
Briefing session before free-play
We encourage families arrive at the site 15 minutes prior to the commencement of free-play time. Children can have enough time to go to washroom and our staff will have a briefing session 5 – 10 minutes before the free-play begins. Children may miss first round of working time for late arrival
Clothing
We encourage children wear T-shirt and jeans so that they can change into the outfit of different professions more easily. If your child plans to be the police, please wear a pair of sports shoes so that they can do fitness training
Selection of professions
We encourage parents allow kids to choose their own profession. However, if the child age 3 – 4, a few professions (e.g. English Chinese Opera, pharmacist, financial planner and car license test) might be quite difficult for them to master the concepts behind
Queue
Children can have 3 rounds of professions in each free-play time, and in each profession, the maximum capacity for children is 8. Therefore, there will be chances that some children may not be able to play some very popular professions. Parents can check with our staff that which free-play time slot will have fewer queues. Parents can also organize free-play tour (15 children) on weekdays so that they can pre-set to play some popular professions
Photo-shooting
Parents can take photos for their children in most pavilions except surgeons. For dentist, as the clinic is located inside the hospital, the photos taken may not be as clear as other pavilions. We also have our professional photographers at our site
Record card for children
Each child participating in our free-play will receive a record card. Upon finishing each profession, our coach will help each child reflect what they have learnt in the play and keep record on the card
Tips for Parents
Tips no.1
Children can learn knowledge, skills and attitude related to different profession. Through collaborating with other children, they develop social skills also. If parents can encourage them to explore freely in BOM City, they can also learn practical skills like how to manage their time and money.
Tips no.2
We encourage parents learn how to observe children’s growth and development in different aspects. We offer practical courses teaching parents observation skills so that when children are playing in BOM City, parents can attend courses too.
Tips no.3
We offer assessment services so that you can understand the developmental needs of your children more thoroughly; we provide other courses to develop the 21st century competence that supplement with the school curriculum.
