Isossy Children meets Rhythm Time

In this Isossy Children profile we meet Kathy Doolan, Founder and MD of Rhythm Time, which provides award winning and fun music classes for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. 

 

All of their musical activities have been created to enhance the development of every child and help them to develop their confidence, creativity and co-ordination.

What inspired you to start your business?
A love of music and the belief that it can help babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers with their development.

What have been your favourite client experiences?

When a shy toddler has the confidence to come out in front of the class to repeat a short rhythmic pattern – it’s a wonderful moment! Even the mums cry sometime.

What advice would you give to someone starting up in your industry?

You must be ready to work hard. Have the belief in your product and it will happen!
What are your long term goals?

To build our franchise network to over 60 by 2016

Isossy Children celebrates diversity through global clothing for children. Why do you think diversity matters for every generation?

We are all different and we must (especially in the present climate) learn to celebrate and embrace our differences as we are all unique.

What words of wisdom do you think every child should grow up knowing?

Attitude is everything. Believe in yourself and respect others.

Isossy Children gets active with Hooping with Kids!

In this profile blog interview we meet Sarah Maccarelli Jordan, the founder of Hooping with Kids based in the USA! We love the healthy activity that Sarah's company promotes and we hope that after reading this you'll get active too!

What inspired you to start your business?I started the Hooping with Kids program because I wanted to help kids stay active and healthy while having fun. Using my dance background and hoop dance experience, the program I created is fitness disguised as fun for kids of all ages.

So far I’ve taught the program to kids at libraries, schools, camps, and private parties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey & Delaware.


What have been your favourite client experiences?
It’s tough to pick a favourite, there are so many good ones! I just love walking into a classroom and seeing kids’ faces light up, and hearing them scream with excitement about a hoop dance class.

What advice would you give to someone starting up in your industry? 
Be patient, give back, and always focus on the positive.

What are your long term goals?
I recently launched a program to teach others how to implement the Hooping with Kids program into their existing activities. The program is online over at http://www.teachkidstohoop.com and has members from many different countries.
I would love to see the Hooping with Kids program be featured at schools and libraries all over the World. We’re fighting childhood obesity with fun.

Why Why do you think diversity matters to every generation?
Variety is the spice of life...sameness is kind of boring. As kids, it’s tough to stand out and be different, but as soon as I embraced my uniqueness as an adult I found success.
Maybe you’re not suited to work in a cubicle. So what. It doesn’t mean you’re a failure. It means you are different. Embrace it.


What words of wisdom do you think every child should grow up knowing?
My favourite quote sums it up: “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Albert
Einstein

Isossy Children meets The founders of The KidsNetwork

Isossy Children was so excited to learn about the amazing work that the KidsNetwork does for parents and their children in Australia (we're really reaching across the world with our networks). We meet Rebecca and Brooke and learn how the KidsNetwork helps parents with a range of issues relating to child development.

What inspired you to start your business?

Rebecca was inspired to start KidsNetwork as a result of her personal experience of managing a child with learning and developmental issues.  Brooke was inspired by a desire to assist families beyond school with strategies for the home.

What have been your favourite client experiences?

Our favourite client experiences are meeting with kids for the first time during the in home consultation. Their responses are refreshingly honest.  We also love it when a child experiences success – often for the first time. It is a WOW moment for them.

What advice would you give to someone starting up in your industry?

Expect resistance from within the industry.  In our experience families embrace change faster than institutions and practitioners.

What are your long term goals?

To be a national service to families all over Australia

Isossy Children celebrates diversity through global clothing for children. Why do you think diversity matters for every generation?

In our business we see kids with differences every day – they are part of the diverse fabric of schools across the nation.  Embracing their diversity is critical to understanding others and learning from them. Instead of seeing difference as a negative we see it as something that needs to be celebrated, and it is encouraging to see this slow shift over the generations. 

What words of wisdom do you think every child should grow up knowing?

That they are unique, that they have many strengths and are loved.
