Shopgirl Jen: Be a Goldilocks Junior Crew this summer

Before summer vacation started last March Sofi and I were on the lookout of summer activities for her. Good thing Goldilocks invited Sofi to be one of their first Junior Crew. She was excited to be part of their Junior Crew program.

The Goldilocks Junior Crew is a 5-day, 2 hours per day workshop for kids from ages 6-12 years of age who love to learn, work, play, and have fun all at the same time and experience what it's like to be behind the scenes of the country’s number one bakeshop.

It was a fun learning experience for Sofi and a memorable one too since it was her first time to be part of a crew. In addition to an educational immersion store experience (though the kitchen is off limits, due to safety concerns), children will get to participate in various games and art sessions, as well as the fan favorite Goldilocks Decorate Your Cake activity.

They were given complete set of uniform with cap, apron, id, pin and shirt. rt materials, meals, and a certificate of participation are also included.

Sofi's ready for her summer workshop!

Her batch was composed of 10 kids and all were eager and very much game to participate. Our workshop was held in SM Megamall.

One of the activities were approaching tables and offer them delectable delights of Goldilocks products. It's one way of overcoming shyness but of course each kid were guided before they approach customers.

Waiting for food to be served. Ang cute nila when they call out Table #9, customer table #9 and have a goldi good day! hehe! :D

Making friends is one of the fun things at the workshop.

After each "duty", they were rewarded with simple activities like drawing, coloring and many more.

At the end of the 5 day workshop, Goldilocks Junior Crew held a mini graduation and Sofi was excited to receive her certificate of completion. She told me she will miss all of their activities.

Ayan na! Before whenever there's a presentation and someone asked Sofi to dance or sing nahihiya sya. But during the graduation she told me that she volunteered to present a solo dance in the tune of All about that bass. Good job, babe!

Congratulations, Sofi! Good job for completing the 5 day workshop!

These kids were so excited to participate in all the games dahil sa awesome prizes! Haha!

The much-awaited DIY cupcake!

Cherry Caluya, the Marketing Director of Goldilocks Philippines, said, “Throughout the entire history of our brand, Goldilocks has always been about bringing smiles to the faces of children. We’ve always seen their happiness at Goldilocks as our responsibility, and with the Goldilocks Junior Crew Workshops, a big part of our goal is making sure that we set a good example for them.”

As a mom I'm glad there's workshop like this that makes summer vacation worthwhile. Through this kind of workshop kids will learn to be responsible, value the time, discipline and hard work while developing their social skills and making new friends.
