KIDS&Co., a bilingual preschool with a nursery division, has opened its first outpost in Katowic
KIDS&Co., a bilingual preschool with a nursery division, has opened its first outpost in Katowice. The brand chose the Silesia Star office building as the location. This is the fifth branch that KIDS&Co. has opened in a building from the Globalworth Poland portfolio.
The first KIDS&Co. outpost in Katowice has 420 sqm and four teaching rooms - two nursery and two kindergarten. The premises also have a separate entrance and a recreational area for the little ones. The kindergarten in Silesia Star is one of nearly thirty facilities operated by KIDS&Co. nationwide, including the fifth that operates in a building owned by Globalworth Poland. As a result of excellent cooperation with the owner and manager of the WTT building, KIDS&Co. decided to stay in the capital's most recognizable office building for the next few years and in August extended its lease.
KIDS&Co., like other tenants, values proven and well-connected locations that offer the possibility of satisfying business continuity. The company is also successfully operating in another office building from Globalworth's portfolio - Wrocław's West Link. As in the case of the lease at Warsaw Trade Tower, this lease has also been extended for additional years. The kindergarten leases 630 sqm in the aforementioned building and remains there for another seven years alongside its corporate partner NOKIA.
"Building on the established relationship with KIDS&Co. and appreciating its trust, we have strengthened our cooperation by introducing the Tenant to a new market. Another lease of space in a building from the Globalworth portfolio, is also an appreciation of the potential of our locations and confirmation that our office buildings meet high standards. Such an establishment further adds to the number of amenities in the building. This is especially important at a time when most companies work remotely. The provision of a kindergarten or crèche, is a great asset of our office buildings, as it further encourages employees to work stationary and return to office reality. We offer our tenants comprehensive solutions, which often require a holistic approach. The kindergarten in our buildings is an example of this and at the same time sets us apart from the competition." - says Weronika Maria Kuna, Asset Management & Leasing Manager, responsible for first floor space in Globalworth Poland office buildings.
"In our business, education and care for the youngest, trust is very important. Hence, we appreciate not only the attractiveness of the buildings, but also the professionalism and partnership approach of the Globalworth team. We know that if any problems or challenges arise, together we will find the best solution. Thanks to our long-standing presence in Globalworth buildings, we know that they are well managed and consistently offer the highest standard for their tenants. We believe that our cooperation turns great offices into exceptional places that support working parents and create good energy, which translates into mutual success." - says Piotr Kulikowski, President of Centrum Rozwoju Dziecka sp. z o.o., which operates kindergartens under the KIDS&Co. brand.
KIDS&Co. is one of the first networks of kindergartens and nurseries in Poland to introduce bilingual teaching. For 18 years, the network has been building proprietary educational programs that develop the social skills and emotional intelligence so necessary for their further development. Children are introduced to and learn English through the language immersion method. From the moment they begin their education at KIDS&Co. they are "immersed" in an English-speaking environment through the presence of an additional teacher who speaks the language. All-day contact with the foreign language makes them assimilate it in a natural way. The wards are taught coding, robotics and creative use of the latest technologies, among other things.
Silesia Star - an attractive office building in the center of Katowice. Convenient access to the public transportation network, proximity to the rich offer of the city center and proximity to the Katowice Cultural Zone are the main advantages of the office building. All this makes the building a safe and comfortable place for work and business development. The unconventional architecture refers to Katowice's industrial past and modernist patterns. The renovated Kurylowicz & Associates studio is responsible for the architectural concept.
The complex consists of two eight-story buildings with more than 29,000 sqm of leasable space. Large floors, well-thought-out space and green common areas provide ideal working conditions. Almost 200 parking spaces in the underground garage and an additional approximately 250 at ground level are available to tenants, an exceptional ratio in the Katowice office market. Confirmation of the green and sustainable nature of the investment is the BREEAM certificate at the Excellent level and the WELL Health & Safety 2022 certificate. The Katowice star completes the Globalworth portfolio as of July 2019.
