"Its one of the few moments during my day where I really feel like I am just Kim Kwok- not a mom, a boss or wearing any other hat. Working out has been my biggest de-stress mechanism. My next must-have is my gym - Ursus fitness. Sometimes I just need to close my eyes, rest my mind and just focus on relaxing. These apps on my phone are my go-to items. Do you have any must-have items as a mompreneur? 1) Spotify and Bible in One Year apps We are all working full time jobs and doing the best we can to provide for people we love."ħ. "All moms have it hard, stay at home or working. As I know first-hand how hard and lonely being a mom and businesswoman is, I want to support women around me. With that in mind, I am able to see how other moms struggle as well. One mentality I have for myself this year is “be kind to myself”, which I remind myself every night. How do you balance your responsibilities as a mom and an mompreneur? We were not only the first in Hong Kong to extend a full playgroup & kindergarten scholarship, but we have also been hosting an annual Mighty Oaks Green Charity Fair to give back to the community.Ħ. A part of this program is to encourage the values of compassion and love. I am proud of our Character Education curriculum at school where we are able to engage the community and many families. What is something you're proud of as a mompreneur? This is also why it’s called Acorn Playhouse - it will be a home away from home for our community.ĥ. I can imagine moms and dads having playdates here with their friends, taking work calls, playing with their kids, having coffee with our teachers, or enjoying seminar speakers.


And while kids are having fun, moms (and dads) can find themselves at our kiosks getting work done. The fun-zone will include a play space (with a huge slide) with different classrooms including cooking, sensory, music, and dance room. Our café will be run by Hong Chi Association to support the community.

Located in Wong Chuk Hang, Acorn Playhouse’s concept is a space that combines a co-working space for parents, a fun-zone for kids, and a café for both to enjoy. "I also felt motherhood can be lonely when the world keeps telling you 'you are behind' or 'you are not enough'. This inspired me to create Acorn Playhouse." When I became a mom, I wanted to find a place where I could spend time with my son, but also hop on calls or a computer. Working from home and having flexible work schedules is gaining popularity among the workforce. How have you been able to empower other women through your business?
