Our most cherished principle, “Hug First, Then Teach”, defines every aspect of who we are at Kids ‘R’ Kids.
Unlike many daycare centers or childcare providers, our methodology is a whole child approach.
We work to strengthen and encourage every child’s emotional, intellectual, social, and physical well-being through the expertise of our childcare providers and a unique partnership with parents.
We have a unique partnership with our families.
We understand the importance of involving families in the developmental milestones and accomplishments of their children.
New skills are reinforced through daily communication with parents, keeping a close connection between home and school.
The key to our success is a family-oriented staff dedicated to providing a secure, nurturing environment.
We especially love and value our incredible teachers, who invest in your child’s physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development!
Our teachers:
· Embrace our “Hug First, then Teach” principle
· Understand that the learning process is enhanced when children trust their caregivers
· Foster an environment of inclusion that celebrates diversity
· Participate in ongoing and professional childcare development training
Daily Responsibilities:
At Kids ‘R’ Kids of Olathe, we understand the unmatched energy and curiosity of children.
As such, we are confident our program fills their day with challenging and engaging activities to build on previous knowledge and present them with new opportunities to grow.
Our program is kid-paced while still fostering important developmental skills and making learning fun! Providing peace of mind and reliable toddler childcare to parents in the Olathe area!
What teachers are expected to provide:
Building Language — We provide our toddlers an American Sign Language program, which has been shown to help with nonverbal and eventual verbal communication.
Your child will be able to effectively communicate their needs with caregivers and peers, leading to more met needs and a more nurturing environment
Stories and Songs — Entertaining stories coupled with a variety of silly, fun songs help your toddler’s imagination continue to grow while they learn those important skills needed for the next developmental level
Creativity — Our classrooms are designed with imagination in mind.
We offer age-appropriate learning centers for your toddler as they explore their abilities in music, art, early literacy, pretend play and more
Fine and Gross Motor Skills — We know that an active body is a healthy body while playing indoors or outdoors on our large, age-separated play spaces.
Whether a child is learning to walk, running at full speed, reaching for the monkey bars or simply tossing a ball to a friend, they will learn all about their body and celebrate accomplishments both great and small
Social Interaction — When children enter the world of toddler hood, they become more aware of the world around them.
We understand the importance of friendship and cultivating harmonious relationships with teachers and peers.
At Kids ‘R’ Kids, your toddler will learn how to have positive interactions, regardless of differences in nationality, religious belief, or cultural norms
