ABOUT US

Launceston's Kids Paradise is passionate about kids and about seeing families enjoy their children.  Kids Paradise is 100% privately owned by people that live and work in Launceston.

We love kids and love to employ young people.  We never anticipated the public response to Launceston's Kids Paradise and the products that we have on offer.  This has thrown us many challenges as we have tried to uphold our values.

Surprising and Delighting Launceston

I think of a young girl with a disability who only had one friend turn up for her Birthday Party.    It was  wonderful to see how the staff responded. They simply responded from the heart and tried to make this little girl feel so special.  They did make overs for the little girl, the kitchen staff came out and sang Happy Birthday and cheered her on.  What could have been an absolutely shocking event turned into a moment of real joy for the little girl.

Or there was little boy who missed a party because his family lost a family member and were in shock who got to come in at a time when Kids Paradise was normally closed and have the entire centre to himself and friends to play in.

These are the moments that we love and treasure and perhaps encapsulate what is best about Launceston's Kids Paradise.

Over the coming year we will be working on improvements to the Launceston's largest indoor Playground with an emphasis on the activities downstairs.  We are wanting to move away from the inflatables and implement alternate activities for our youth.   Thanks so much for your support.  We appreciate it very much.

Sharon and Tim O'Neill.
