FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can we customize it with our company brand?

Yes! Our custom package can include sticker sheets with your logo and icons, so kids can make the workplace scenes feel like their parent’s own world.

What exactly happens during the experience?

Each 30-minute round brings the books to life through storytelling, music, movement, and playful interaction. Kids discover what Mommy and Daddy do at work—and dance with Mr. Sunshine along the way.

What ages is it designed for?

The sweet spot is ages 0–7, but older siblings are always welcome to join the fun.

How many families can participate?

Each round is about 30 minutes and can be repeated throughout the day to welcome more families. Capacity depends on your space and package.

How much work does our HR or ERG team need to do?

As little or as much as you’d like! Self-guided packages include a step-by-step guide and 1-on-1 virtual training, while our full experience lets us take the lead.

Can you come onsite and run it for us?

Yes! With Belonging Sessions, Jossy and our early-childhood education team come onsite and lead the full experience.

How far in advance should we book?

The earlier, the better—especially for custom or hosted experiences. Timing depends on your date, location, and customization needs.

Can we pay by invoice or PO?

Yes. Card is the fast route for a small order; larger orders usually run on a PO. Both end in the same confirmation.
