MyDNA Kids for childcare centres and preschools

Help parents with the questions they ask you every pickup

MyDNA Kids gives parents a review of their child’s nutrition, sleep and everyday tendencies, walked through in person by a MyDNA consultant.

The results are the parent’s to share. When a parent chooses to tell you what they learned, your team can back the same routines at the centre, and that helps the child.

The questions at pickup

Your teachers hear the food and sleep questions, but answering them isn't their job

Why won’t she eat anything green? Should he still be napping? Parents ask the people who see their child every day, and your team does its best without straying into advice they aren’t there to give.

Families choosing a centre are also looking for signs that you think about the whole child, well beyond the timetable.

The partnership

Good for your centre. Better for your families.

What your centre gets
What your families get

Somewhere to send the hard questions

When a parent asks about fussy eating or naps, your team can point them to a MyDNA consultant who has time to sit down and go through it properly. Your teachers stay teachers.

Food that fits their child

The review looks at how a child tends to take up nutrients like vitamin D, iron and calcium, and at taste sensitivity, which can sit behind fussy eating. Parents come away with ideas for the plate that suit a Singapore kitchen.

Something real to show at open days

Parents touring centres notice who takes food, sleep and family well-being seriously. A MyDNA Kids parent session gives you something concrete to point to.

A calmer look at naps and bedtime

Sleep reports cover things like daytime napping and how long a child tends to take to drop off. The consultant turns that into small routine changes, agreed with the parent.

No data and no admin

MyDNA runs the session, handles consent and deals with each family directly. We never send your centre a result or a list of who took part. If a parent chooses to share what they learn, you can support their child with it.

A person to talk it through with

A MyDNA consultant collects the sample with the parent, walks them through every page and follows up afterwards. It’s all included, with no separate consultation fee.
What the reports cover

The reports behind the food and sleep questions

A few of the 500+ reports a consultant can draw on for a young child’s review, named exactly as parents see them in their own account. Each shows a tendency, not a certainty. Genes don’t change, but the reports update as research advances, at no extra cost.

Genetics is about 30% of the picture

The other 70% is what a person does with it. That’s why every kit comes with a MyDNA consultant who explains the results and builds a plan with the parent. Included in the price, not sold on top.

How it works, and we do most of it

Step 1

A first conversation

We meet your centre lead or owner, talk about your families and agree what would suit them. The plan and any partner terms are put in writing.

Step 2

Let parents know

We give you a parent letter and a notice, written to the same standard as the review itself. Passing them on through your usual channels is the only step your team takes.

Step 3

We host the session

A MyDNA consultant runs a parent talk or a coffee morning at your centre. Parents who want to go further contact MyDNA directly, and nobody is signed up on the day.

Step 4

Families take it from there

The consultant collects each child’s sample with the parent there, at home or wherever suits the family, and delivers the review one to one. Your centre has no part in results unless a parent chooses to share theirs with you.

Pick the format that suits your centre

Parent talk

A talk at your centre on feeding, first foods and sleep, and on what a young child’s DNA can and can’t tell a parent. Open questions at the end.

BEST FOR
New-family orientation or a parent session, at a time that suits your parents

Coffee morning at drop-off

A relaxed table at morning drop-off where parents can chat to a consultant for a few minutes, pick up the parent letter and ask anything.

BEST FOR
Centres where parents tend to linger in the mornings

Parent-benefit partnership

A standing arrangement where your families can take up MyDNA Kids on terms agreed with your centre.

BEST FOR
Centres that want a family benefit to mention at enrolment

Partner terms are agreed on application. Talk to us and we’ll put a proposal together for you.

Results belong to the parent.

Your centre only sees a result if the parent chooses to share it. MyDNA never passes on a result, a list of who took part or any grouping of children. Data is never sold, leased or shared with third parties.
