About Us
Kidproof was formed in 2000 by Samantha Wilson, an internationally recognized expert in child and family safety. As a cop, Samantha received fantastic, informative, cutting edge child safety information that was only being shared by law enforcement and other helping agencies. The information was not "top secret" but had no way of reaching those who needed it most - parents. So she formed Kidproof to do just that.
"We were formed for one reason, to help raise child safety awareness by empowering children and parents with knowledge that they can draw from in case of an emergency or dangerous situation."
What started as a small community service in London, Ontario, Canada, Kidproof has grown to have international reach and is a driving force in proactive and preventative child safety education from coast to coast. With a steady growth rate, our team continues to develop programs, seminars and services that enrich and empower families - and ultimately keep kids safe.
The recent launch of Kidproof Franchise has allowed us tap into exceptional individuals that are as committed to our mission as we are. Now, individual Kidproof Businesses can train and deliver our exclusive programs directly to their communities - anytime.
Child safety is timeless and universal and Kidproof is dedicated to every aspect of keeping kids healthy and safe. Kidproof spans across North America, with offices in the east and west, we employ over 200 Certified Instructors and regular staff that are the most fantastic, committed and talented individuals on the planet.
2009 already?
2008 was an amazing year for Kidproof. We experienced unprecedented growth, were recognized by prestigious awards and developed new initiatives that will change our direction as we move forward and into the future.
Take a look at the year in reflection and what is still too come!
The year began with a bang as KidsEat Culinary skyrocketed as one of the foremost healthy meal providers in the lower mainland of British Columbia. When we created KidsEat! Culinary, it was our goal to offer healthy, delicious and affordable lunches to elementary schools. We went over and above and enlisted the expertise of a top nutritionist to ensure our menu was healthy and nutritious.
Behind the scenes, the B.C. Ministry of Education was finalizing the new guidelines for food sales to schools. They were concentrating on helping kids and parents develop lifelong healthy eating habits and initiated strict rules as to what foods were permitted to be sold to students.
KidsEat Culinary was already committed to a healthy, well balanced menu and was one step ahead by not just meeting but “exceeding” the imposed guidelines.
As a result of being one of the few qualified food providers in January 2008, we quickly found ourselves making and delivering thousands of meals - fresh by 10 am – daily to schools around the lower mainland. Our food quickly gained the reputation of taking an old favorite (like hot dog and donut days) and making it new, healthy and just as tasty by partnering with local premium bakers, produce growers and food suppliers.
KidsEat Culinary is one of the only school food providers listed in BC Action Schools, and is now in the second year of operations, with most days sold out. It has been a HUGE success not just as a business model, but provides an exceptional service in helping combat childhood obesity.

2009 and KidsEat Culinary
2009 will be even bigger and better! Our menu will continue to reflect local, fresh produce and ingredients, and old favorites will remain. We will continue to operate our corporate headquarters out of our Burnaby location and service the hundreds of requests from schools. But here is the BIG NEWS!
KidsEat Culinary is now available as a Franchise in most areas across Canada. To learn more about how you can be part of this incredible opportunity and for franchise opportunities visit www.kidproofcanada.com
Kidproof Canada (child safety)
The heart of all we do.
No matter how many new initiatives, programs and services we add to our group of companies, Kidproof Canada truly remains embedded in our hearts. We will always be committed to keeping children safe through preventative and proactive education.
In watching Kidproof grow to hundreds of communities in numerous countries over the years, we have decided that the best, most effective way to deliver our exclusive and trusted programs is to seek out individuals that are equally as committed to our mission.
This lead to the development and launch of Kidproof Franchise Inc. in October 2008.
Now, individuals across Canada (soon available in USA and beyond) can own and operate a Kidproof Canada franchise in their own communities. This truly is a business with meaning and in just two short months, and after receiving hundreds of requests for information, we selected and signed our first two Franchises in Canada.
Matt and Tracey Staples from St. Catharines Ontario and Anne McCullough from Surrey, British Columbia will begin their new business January 2009.
2009 will see tremendous growth as we continue to review and invite exceptional individuals to start their own successful Kidproof business, and join us in a true business with meaning.
