Support Women Owned Businesses - Kid Friendliness & Accessibility

Hy Local Guides, :playground_slide:

As part of @Globe_trotter_Ish’s Let’s Empower Women Owned Businesses on Google Maps (Challenge is closed but everyday is valuable to support local women owned businesses), I am glad to discover this newly opened women owned Children amusement park with a clinic.

WelloKidz is a unique child wellness center that brings together an indoor play area, activity zone, birthday party hall, parent lounge, and a pediatric clinic-all under one roof. Dr. Divya Ann Varghese, the founder of WelloKidz and a practicing pediatrician & co-founder, Aysha Subin, a fellow mother and a passionate advocate for child welfare with a strong background in business. Together, they aim to create a nurturing, engaging, and holistic space for children and their families. They park and amusement park is completely wheelchair accessible :wheelchair_symbol: with staff available to help individuals with visual, auditory and cognitive accessibility.

Let’s hear what Divya has to say about her business.

  1. What inspired you to start a children’s indoor amusement park :playground_slide: and clinic :woman_health_worker:?

Answer : As a mother of two, I often found myself searching for a safe, engaging space where children could play freely while parents could bond and spend quality time with them. A soft play area seemed like the perfect solution to promote physical activity in a secure, child-friendly environment.

Being a pediatrician and child health advocate, I also envisioned a space where high-quality pediatric care was accessible outside the intimidating atmosphere of a hospital. Children’s health goes beyond just treating illnesses-it includes monitoring growth, development, vaccinations, and mental and emotional well-being. I wanted families to access these essential services in a setting that feels warm, welcoming, and supportive.

  1. What features on Google Maps do you find beneficial for your customers?

Answer : We appreciate how easily parents can find us by simply typing our name on Google Maps. While our phone number is yet to appear on the listing, customers can already view the range of services we offer, along with photos and reviews. Our opening hours are also clearly listed, helping families plan their visits with ease.

  1. How do you ensure your business is wheelchair accessible :wheelchair_symbol: for children and parents?

Answer : Our facility is designed with accessibility in mind. We offer direct wheelchair access from the vehicle via our basement and ground-level entry points. All corridors and doorways are built to accommodate wheelchair movement, ensuring a comfortable and inclusive experience for all visitors.

  1. What programs or services do you offer to promote kids’ physical and mental well-being?

Answer : We believe in holistic child wellness. Our indoor play area supports physical activity, imaginative play, and social interaction-all essential for a child’s development. We encourage parent-child bonding by allowing caregivers to relax and enjoy their child’s playtime. Additionally, we offer enriching classes like arts and crafts, yoga, mindfulness, and digital detox sessions to nurture focus, emotional intelligence, and empathy. Our pediatric clinic complements these offerings by providing expert care that addresses all aspects of a child’s health-physical, developmental, and emotional.

  1. As a women-owned business, how do you support and empower women in your indoor park and clinic?

Answer : WelloKidz is proudly women-led, with an all-women team currently running our operations. We strongly believe in creating opportunities for women and supporting working mothers. One of our future initiatives includes introducing a coworking concept for moms, helping them balance work and parenting without the guilt. We’re committed to empowering women at all levels-through employment, flexibility, and community support.
