Mariposa Kids — Entrepreneurship

My 9-year-old daughter participated in the Mariposa Kids Entrepreneurship program in San Francisco, and she really enjoyed it. Each week, the instructor, Jake, fostered an engaging environment where kids could explore their entrepreneurial ideas. They worked on projects like creating a mini-business plan and even designed their own product prototypes. I noticed she became more confident in sharing her ideas with her peers. The group size was small, which allowed for more personalized attention. However, I found the program a bit pricey, especially with the additional costs for materials that weren’t included in the initial fee. Pickup was smooth, with clear communication from the staff, which was a relief. Overall, I would recommend this program for kids who are creative and interested in business, but just be prepared for some extra expenses.

My son recently attended the Mariposa Kids Entrepreneurship program in San Francisco, and overall, we had a solid experience. Every week, he worked on different creative projects, like designing his own business logo and developing a mini-business plan for a lemonade stand. The instructor, Lisa, was attentive and encouraged the kids to think outside the box, which I appreciated. However, the price tag felt a bit steep at around $400, especially considering extra materials were sometimes needed. The small group size allowed for personalized attention, which was great for my creative child. The drop-off process could get a bit chaotic, with parents lingering and kids buzzing with excitement. But once you got past that, the program offered a valuable opportunity for kids to explore entrepreneurship in an engaging way. I’d recommend it, with a heads-up about the extra costs that may pop up.
