Childcare While You Shop

Kiddies Korral

Take advantage of FREE childcare in our Kiddies Korral while you shop.

Our qualified employees supervise all Kiddies Korrals when they are open. A sign-in and out procedure, and video surveillance ensures your child's safety while you shop. Check at the Customer Service office for the Kiddies Korral hours of operation at each centre.

Security in the Kiddies Korrals is of paramount importance to us. We have several rules that are strictly followed to ensure the safety and security of all children who spend time in the Korrals. In addition, most Kiddies Korrals have video surveillance, so parents can observe their children on monitors located throughout the centre.
