A productive way for kids to spend summer

Education and experience are vital during children’s formative years. But beyond the knowledge they can gain from inside the four corners of the classroom, children can immerse themselves in various social opportunities to learn valuable lessons to equip them better for life. During summers, parents often enroll their kids in summer camps and workshops to realize new skills and values to aid their growth and development.

While most summer programs include classes focused on enhancing children’s physical and mental abilities, PICK.A.ROO, the Philippines’ all-in-one, on-demand, and premium lifestyle delivery app, offers a different approach that concentrates on their cognitive and social skills.

Last April 22, the app officially launched its first-ever PICK.A.ROO Kiddie Shopper Summer Program. It’s available in select Landmark Supermarkets this May, allowing children aged four to eight to become a PICK.A.ROO Shopper for a day, picking out orders from PICK.A.ROO users and checking them while being guided and assisted by a PICK.A.ROO Shopper on-duty.

“Through our Kiddie Shopper Summer Program, we are giving parents an avenue to let their kids undergo a ‘summer on-the-job training’ by being a PICK.A.ROO Shopper. We want kids to have fun while also appreciating the hard work our shoppers put into their jobs, and perhaps even learn the values of hard work, teamwork, discipline, responsibility, and friendship,” said Eric Bataga, chief executive officer of PICK.A.ROO.

Interacting with the shoppers will also help kids become more social as they’d have to work closely to accomplish their tasks. Moreover, the program will show the fun side of daily tasks like shopping for goods.

Parents interested in enrolling their kids in the Kiddie Shopper Summer Program can get the sign-up links from emails and social media posts from PICK.A.ROO’s official pages. There is no sign-up fee, as parents and guardians can order via PICK.A.ROO on the day of their respective child’s schedule.

Schedules for the Kiddie Shopper Summer Program are on May 6, 13, and 20, 2023, in Landmark Bonifacio Global City, Trinoma, and Alabang. Sessions run for one hour per batch of about five kids, with the first one starting at 9 a.m.

Kids who sign up for the program will receive a Shopper Kit containing a shirt, apron, cap, and a bag, all of which they can wear during the activity.

PICK.A.ROO will accept registrations until May 6 only.

This summer also marks the official launch of PICK.A.ROO’s Pick-Up feature. Using the app, this feature lets users order from the shops, groceries, and restaurants available on PICK.A.ROO, pay for their orders via credit card, and collect them at their chosen time.

It offers an easy way for parents who spend weekends with their families to order groceries and pick them up on the way home so they can enjoy more time with their loved ones. Those reporting in the office can also use this feature to order their meals and pick them up during their break time.

Download the PICK.A.ROO app on Google Play or Apple App Store now to enjoy its features and more.
