Overview
Products & Services
The company was founded in 1988 by Michelle Gibson in Vancouver British Columbia.
Prior to that Michelle studied at the University of Victoria receiving her B.A in Psychology and Recreation Management. While at University she coordinated the kid’s summer camps and out of school care programs for the local YMCA.
Upon graduation, Michelle became a program coordinator for the city of Burnaby Parks and Recreation department. It was while working in this position that Michelle recognized the need for options in children’s parties and event services.
Par-T-Perfect was born and Michelle opened a Montessori school, daycare centre and indoor play facility. In 1996, with thousands of inquires coming from all over British Columbia the focus became creating a home based full service event company catering to kids under 14.
By 2001, with three young children running about it was time to expand and become a mentor to others. Since then Par-T-Perfect has expanded across Canada and into the United States with an amazing group of franchisees that Michelle describes as inspirational. Michelle has seen her role switch from running parties to tapping the creativity and passion within the group to build upon the original dream.
