*Tickets available at participating branches
Watch the video to learn the highlights:
My son Rhyme already has his weekly basketball and karate to keep him active. I still registered him for Kiddie Crew because there are far more lessons, immersion, and experience that for sure he'd gain by joining this workshop.
I signed up for Batch 2 : AUG07-11 2PM-4PM session (there is also 9AM-11AM session) at McDonald's Cayetano Boulevard, Taguig -- my favorite branch!

HOW TO REGISTER
To register, visit participating McDonald's branches listed here: McDonald's Kiddie Crew 2023
For my case, I just happened to see the display at McDonald's Cayetano Boulevard branch which I often visit. I video-called my son right away to check if he wanted to join. He enthusiastically said "Yes!" and so I signed up the form, submitted to the crew, and paid the fee.
I was also informed about the orientation which will happen Friday (AUG04 for our case) before the week of the workshop, same time as the workshop itself (either 9AM or 2PM).
ORIENTATION
During the orientation, the facilitator discussed:
- What to wear and bring during the workshop (aside from the Kiddie Crew Kit)
- Hairnet
- Water
- Coloring Materials
- Hand Towel
- Wear long pants
- Wear socks and shoes
- Meals - Included in the workshop are basic meals such as Spaghetti and Juice, Cheeseburger and Juice, etc. If the child does not prefer any of the provided meals, parent/guardian may opt to bring own food, or buy at McDonald's
- Fetcher's ID - This should be accomplished with photos of the fetcher and kid, and signature of fetcher/parent/guardian

| Congratulations, Rhyme, for completing the workshop! |

| Hello, Grimace! |
Overall, I highly recommend to register your kids to the annual McDonald's Kiddie Crew Workshop. When Rhyme was younger (around 4 years old), he was able to try the 1-day Kiddie Crew event for media which you can find here: https://www.patchesoflifebyjessa.com/2018/06/mcdonalds-kiddie-crew-2018.html
But now that he is 9 years old, this is his first time to experience the full 5-day workshop and he totally enjoyed every moment of it!
It's not everyday that kids will have a taste of what it's like working at McDonald's, serving with a smile, and getting appreciated by customers. The kids also get to practice the values they learned as they perform their tasks. They learned new skills, and a big bonus is gaining new friends!
For sure, we will be back next year for another round of McDonald's Kiddie Crew Workshop!
