Close to the origins of HaPe's production base there is a new shop conception implemented. HaPe started with it's first child-care-shop idea in Ningbo City (China) and more than 500 children plus parents joined on the opening ceremony.
The basic issue is to widen the child-care-station-idea (kids can stay 1, 2 hours - while parents go shopping) and teach basic standards in education. |
