Why CocoRio, Why Now?
The World Has Changed. Childhood Shouldn’t Be Left Behind.
In a world where screens dominate and childhood stress is on the rise, nurturing creativity has never been more important.
39% more children in England are receiving treatment for serious mental health issues compared to last year.
Children spend an average of 6 hours a day in front of screens.
Creative subjects are often the first to be cut when schools face budget pressures.
At CocoRio, we believe creativity isn’t a luxury—it’s essential. It’s the key to raising curious, confident children who grow into adaptable, resilient adults.
“Creativity and problem-solving skills are the most important for future generations.”
— Jenny Taylor MBE, UK Foundation Leader, IBM
Why Creativity Matters (More Than Ever)
In a future shaped by automation, creativity is the one skill that can’t be replaced by AI.
It’s not just about painting pictures or playing music (though we love both!). Creativity nurtures:
✅ Problem-solving and innovation
✅ Confidence and leadership skills
✅ Emotional intelligence and empathy
✅ Adaptability and resilience
Children who regularly engage in creative experiences develop the soft skills employers are already seeking—and the world increasingly needs.
At CocoRio, we’re preparing children for their futures, one joyful, imaginative experience at a time.
The Benefits of Creativity—Backed by Research
For Their Development
From birth to six years old, children’s brains are wired for creative exploration.
Artistic activities build fine motor skills, communication, and cognitive development.
Early music training sharpens auditory processing (and can boost learning long into adulthood!).
Creative play enhances problem-solving, spatial reasoning, and academic success.
For Their Emotional Wellbeing
Creativity helps children thrive emotionally in a busy, fast-moving world.
It reduces stress and fosters mindfulness.
It encourages social connection and empathy—skills often overlooked in today’s screen-heavy world.
1 in 5 children will experience mental health challenges before leaving primary school. Creative experiences can help prevent and support this.
At CocoRio, we offer safe, nurturing spaces where children express themselves freely, build confidence, and simply feel happy.
For Their Future Opportunities
Happy, curious children grow into innovative adults.
Creativity nurtures leadership and confidence.
It encourages flexibility—an essential skill for a world that’s always changing.
Our Creative Learning Framework gives children the tools to thrive in school, work, and life.
