The Concept
KidzMondo is an indoor theme park following the conceptual approach of educational entertainment or playful learning. It is an ideal forum where social rules and values are promoted and ingrained in children to prepare them to behave as good adult citizens would in real life.
KidzMondo aims to compliment local school curricula and seeks to teach children basic citizenship values and rules, enlightening them about the society they live in today.
It is an established fact that children learn best through play and experiencing real hands on activities. The range of playful activities inside KidzMondo is exclusively created and constructed to help, encourage and advance physical growth while stimulating intellectual growth. The KidzMondo Educational Curriculum improves the development of skills and attitudes all the while motivating creative thinking and enhancing self-esteem and self-confidence levels.
Children can choose between 120+ different professions which are practiced in replica of the most representative establishments in an actual city; an airport, a bank, factories, a theater, shops, a police station, a fire department, a newspaper, a hotel, a TV studio, a radio station, a gas station, a race track and many more...
KidzMondo provides children with a relevant and tangible learning experience, appealing to the need to address and encourage interest. Children will be exposed to age-appropriate activities in a dynamic and safe surrounding. They will be attracted to go through the different establishments, while providing them with a mental and physical voyage of investigation, exploration, and adults' role play.

Constitution for Children
KidzMondo's constitution and its ideas of equality, respect for all, and the rights for self-expression and creativity are essential. As the children explore the world of KidzMondo, they will be learning valuable lessons in what it means to be a citizen "kidizen", as well as civic and social responsibility, essential self-reliance, and fiscal maturity. These lessons will stay with them well into their adult life, and serve to prepare the future generation for the tremendous challenges that lie ahead. Since the Theme Park operates as though it were a city, the visiting children are expected to act according to the following Constitution: 1. All Kidizens are Equal and United in play. 2. Kidizens have the right to be Happy and Free. 3. Kidizens have the right to Explore, Discover and be Curious about the World. 4. Kidizens have the right to Express themselves and be Creative. 5. Kidizens have the right to be treated with Respect. 6. Kidizens are always Polite, Honest and Kind. 7. Kidizens have the duty to Respect others including their elders. 8. Kidizens have a duty to help others when they can. 9. Kidizens have a duty to Protect nature and the environment. 10. Kidizens have their rights and duties guarded by the constitution of KidzMondo.
Characters
Four characters help make the concept of KidzMondo more relatable and entertaining to children. They also represent the pillars of the KidzMondo constitution through their actions and values.
Born on Science Day (October 5) Kozmo is a loveable 10-year-old boy with big brown eyes and chestnut brown messy hair. He loves sports, technology and going on all kinds of adventures, especially the ones where the entire family can join in. He is caring, friendly, and very extroverted. He has a curious mind and is fascinated by everything and everyone. He is very spontaneous like most 10-year-old boys.
Born on Flowers Day (May 3) Ëena is a 6-year-old average sized "little miss perfect". She knows how to get her way. She is a very curious girl, always asking questions for deductive reasoning (always answers them herself). She considers herself responsible for everyone and as a result she is the glue that holds the entire family together. It is her passion to guide and advise them on the right course of action.
A Roman Sheepdog born on Friendship Day (July 20), Dogzilla is the original guardian of KidzMondo. He was too late to leave the city when the Roman children abandoned it in ancient times and was locked in. Dogzilla was able to live for over 2000 years through the magic of KidzMondo, guarding the city against any invaders. When the founders arrived, he was extremely happy to see someone. He decided to dedicate his life to serving the founders, protecting the city and all its inhabitants.
A large and wise middle-aged tortoise born on World Turtles Day (May 23), Leeloo is Ëena's personal assistant. She is very organized and has everything arranged in order. The only problem is that she is always sleeping or daydreaming. When she does wake up she is very slow and only cares about one thing, how to assist Kozmo and Ëena to the best of her ability.
City Map
The architectural layout of the KidzMondo city is much like any real city in the world with a central plaza, clock tower, fire station, police station, hospital and many other functional establishments spread throughout the two-story buildings. However, the size of the buildings is all scaled down to cater to children and provide a more realistic experience for them.
Safety and Security
KidzMondo has been working with safety consultants from around the world and has employed the latest technologies to ensure the safety and security of the children. They have managed to meet international standards for amusement parks by equipping the city with the latest technologies. Upon arrival, each child will be given a security bracelet called a "KidzBand." It is an RFID security bracelet consisting of wireless technology that uses radio frequencies to identify and track kids inside the city at any time.
In addition to the hundreds of CCTV cameras installed to track kids around the city, KidzMondo assigns security personnel to be present 24 hours a day.
Moreover, KidzMondo staff has all received training sessions in first aid and rescue, and in case of emergency a nurse is always present at the premises for assistance.

Marketing Partners
Enhancing the atmosphere of realism of the city of KidzMondo depends heavily on partnerships with esteemed AAA (triple A) companies and brands which are anchors on the development and growth of the city.
For every child-sized establishment, one, and only one, leading brand is chosen exclusively to represent its industry. No two partners are ever chosen to represent the same category or industry. KidzMondo provides a one-of-a-kind marketing channel that is more encompassing than traditional media for its marketing value. Brand messages are incorporated into daily life to allow children to experience various products and services provided by the different esteemed brands. KidzMondo also promotes interactive qualitative marketing, where children experience the marketing partners' products with their five senses: the children see, smell, touch, taste, and play with the brand. Since the children of today are the customers of tomorrow, they develop an unmatchable and long-lasting loyalty from a very early age and nurture it until they grow up. This demonstrates how partnering with KidzMondo brings about a long-term impact. In addition to that, children not only impact industries manufacturing toys, candy, or cars but they also influence purchasing decisions made my parents.
