Sasikorn Suangburanakul (Areetham Sirikul) founded Kiddy Club Houses out of her own experience as a mother determined to give her child the best possible start in life. After learning that up to 80% of brain development happens before age six, she spent years researching child development, visiting schools and activity centers across Bangkok, and learning directly from respected teachers, pediatricians, and educators — sacrificing time and convenience along the way to find the right environment for her own children. That search, combined with years of volunteer work in Catholic education and social development, shaped her belief that every child is a valuable resource capable of limitless growth when given the right foundation, family support, and care from the very start. Kiddy Club Houses is the result: a second home where children and families can learn, grow, and enjoy the journey together.
