JAKARTA - Childhood is an important phase in the process of growth and development. During this period, children experience rapid development, both physically, cognitively, and socially-emotionally.
The foundation that is built early through adequate nutrition intake and consistent stimulation will affect how children learn, adapt, and face challenges in the future. Therefore, the role of parents in providing a supportive environment for exploration while ensuring that nutritional needs are met is very crucial.
Departing from this understanding, Nutrilon Royal in collaboration with PT Indomarco Prismatama (Indomaret) presents the Winner's Squad Adventure to Hong Kong program. This science-based edutrip program is designed to provide a hands-on learning experience for children and parents, by visiting a number of educational destinations in Hong Kong.
During the trip, participants were invited to explore various interactive learning spaces such as the Hong Kong Children's Discovery Museum, Hong Kong Science Museum, Hong Kong Space Museum, to the Hong Kong Zoological & Botanical Gardens.
Children can try simple experiments, get to know the concept of space, and observe biodiversity directly. This approach is expected to be able to present real stimulation that enriches their learning experience.
In this year's edition, five selected families who won the lottery from the Nutrilon Royal Squad 2025 registration period had the opportunity to take the trip. This program is a form of appreciation for families who are considered to consistently pay attention to the balance of nutrition and stimulation in supporting children's growth and development.
Velan Sormin as Brand Manager Nutrilon Royal, conveyed that this experience is the embodiment of our belief in raising children who are ready to face the future starting early through a strong synergy between Parents, Experts, Nutrition, and Stimulation.
"As a brand rooted in science, we continue to develop nutritional innovations based on scientific research and clinical evidence to help meet the needs of children's growth and development comprehensively," he explained.
Winner's Squad is an expansion of the Nutrilon Royal Science Camp, with the aim of bringing a closer, real, and inspiring science experience for children.
Through this educational journey, Nutrilon Royal wants to show how superior nutrition and continuous stimulation can go hand in hand in supporting children to grow stronger, confident, and ready to be winning children in the future.
In line with this program, Nutrilon Royal introduces ActiDuobio+ formula which contains prebiotics FOS:GOS 1:9, DHA and EPA with higher levels, and without sucrose. This formula is developed to help support children's immunity and thinking ability, so that it can support the exploration activities and learning process.
dr. Ray Wagiu Basrowi as Medical Affairs Director Danone Indonesia explained,
"Early childhood is a very crucial period in child development, where the health of the gastrointestinal tract plays a major role in building strong immunity. More than 70% of immune cells are in the gastrointestinal tract, so maintaining the balance of the microbiota is the key to increasing children's immunity," he said.
As a brand rooted in science and supported by more than 120 years of nutrition research in early life, it develops formulas with prebiotic FOS:GOS 1:9 content that have been clinically proven to support the growth of good bacteria, while nutrients such as Omega 3 and 6, including DHA and EPA, play an important role in supporting brain development and cognitive function.
When these nutritional foundations are met, children have better physical and mental capacities to explore, absorb stimulation, and optimally engage in science-based learning activities ranging from interactive experiments, environmental observations, to understanding more complex scientific concepts.
In other words, nutrition not only provides protection, but also prepares the child's body and brain to be able to receive and maximize every form of stimulation they encounter.
From a psychological perspective, Aninda, S.Psi, M.Psi.T., as a Practitioner of Early Childhood Psychology, added that science-based stimulation through exploration, experimentation, and sensory play helps children develop balanced cognitive, emotional, and social abilities.
"Experiences like Winner's Squad Adventure to Hong Kong show how the right learning environment can foster a child's curiosity, confidence, and resilience. The combination of daily stimulation and proper nutrition shapes the character of a winning child," he said.
In the Winner's Squad Adventure to Hong Kong program, each destination provides different forms of stimulation and complements each other.
At the Hong Kong Children's Discovery Museum, for example, children receive stimulation through hands-on learning and role-playing that encourages problem-solving, imagination, and emotional regulation.
The Hong Kong Science Museum also provides children with the opportunity to understand scientific concepts through hundreds of interactive installations, which strengthen logical thinking, curiosity, and trial and error skills.
When visiting the Hong Kong Space Museum, children are exposed to space exploration and astronomical understanding that stimulates abstract thinking, the ability to understand big concepts such as time and space, and expands their insight into the world.
Meanwhile, at the Hong Kong Zoological & Botanical Gardens, children learn through direct observation of flora and fauna, which cultivates empathy, sensory sensitivity, and understanding of the relationship between living things. This combination of stimulation, if supported by proper nutrition from home, helps build the foundation of a child's character, a winner of a child who is tough, confident, critical, and curious.
This collaboration was also appreciated by Indomaret as a distribution partner.
Public Relations Manager of PT Indomarco Prismatama (Indomaret), Teguh Irawan, expressed his pride in being able to collaborate with Nutrilon Royal in presenting a program that not only expands access to quality nutrition.
"This activity also provides valuable educational experiences for Indonesian families. Through this program, parents have the opportunity to participate in the lottery and receive direct prizes by collecting stamps on the Indomaret Poinku application which can be exchanged for various prizes, such as Nutrilon FT Busy Book, cabin luggage, and shopping vouchers," he explained.
