18.01.2022 A new and exciting chapter of bellarine kids, Greater geelong kids, and Great Ocean Road Kids is now taking place! Im welcoming Jenny and Katelyn as the new administrators of Bellarine Kids, as I have now made the decision to step down from this role. I started Bellarine Kids 10 years ago with the aim to connect children-focused businesses and services with the community of families on the Bellarine Peninsula. As a mother of three children, I wanted to share what was out ...there for our littlies to enjoy - and so I created Bellarine Kids as an online hub, showcasing many of the wonderful, local, family friendly opportunities. Its been a very busy decade, as Bellarine Kids has grown into the bustling community it is today. Its with excitement that I hand over the reigns of Bellarine Kids to Jenny and Katelyn. They are looking forward to developing Bellarine Kids and Im looking forward to all the ways they will continue to support the community of families and the wonderful local businesses in the Bellarine Peninsula. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and all the Bellarine Kids ventures over the last ten years. Im grateful to every business and service who has come on board and every person whos helped me behind the scenes, from what begun as a website, to socials, to supporting many local events and helping me run local events! Lastly, thank you to all the wonderful children who have made my work with Bellarine Kids a pure joy. Please reach out to Jenny and Katelyn at [email protected] with any questions you have about advertising or promoting your business or event across the BK website and channels. They would love to hear from you. Heres to the next exciting phase of BK Kids! Warmest, Stacey
