The first week of July brought us Silco Kids 2025, a four-day program for the children of our employees, returning for its second year with fresh inspiration and the heartfelt slogan: “Little Hearts Shine.”

Silco Kids is much more than just holiday childcare. It’s an initiative born within our HR department, built on a clear vision: to support working parents in balancing their professional and family lives. As Tea Kozar, Head of HR and the driving force behind the program, explains:

“Silco Kids is what we like to call our softest, most heartfelt program. For the second year in a row, we’ve created active, joyful holiday days for our employees’ children. They went on nature walks, sang, danced, played games, swam, enjoyed each other’s company, had deep conversations — and even practiced meditation. Thanks to the exceptional guidance of sociologist Janja Urankar Berčon, the program carried a deeper, thoughtful tone. They talked about values, gratitude, and supporting one another. We’re aware that through this, we’re also shaping the next generation. The children of our employees are truly remarkable — we’re proud of them, just as we’re proud of our colleagues.”

The program was led by Janja Urankar Berčon, a university-trained sociologist, whose professionalism and warmth gave each day meaning, structure, and emotional depth. The children began their days with a "circle of kind thoughts", followed by creative workshops, singing, group play, discussions on values, planting greenery, peaceful meditation in a “magical forest of calm,” and even performing for Silco employees. They were accompanied throughout by mentors Hana and Lara, who added energy, youthfulness, and kindness to the experience.

The parents were thrilled:

👨‍👧 Marjan Zabukovnik, Production:

“I think this is really great for the kids. My son Bine and daughter Lili were so excited — they didn’t even want to come home when I went to pick them up. I already saw how much my son enjoyed it last year, and so did I.”

👩‍👦 Simona Grenko, Warehouse:

“As a mom, I think the idea of Silco Kids is fantastic. My son loved it too. Thank you, Silco, for giving him such a beautiful week.”

Our mission goes beyond the products we make — it lies in the people we connect and care for. Silco Kids is living proof that with genuine support for our employees and their families, we build a stronger, more heartfelt community.
