Our Care is the BEST available! WHY are we WORTH IT ?!
For Kids Sake Early Learning Center will have its 17th birthday this year! FKS survived the horrible economy of 2008 and a building relocation in 2009. Now we are working to survive the pandemic in 2022. After each challenge, we came out BETTER and this time is NO different! We are looking forward to the growth and its growing pains now and in the next 17 years ahead. Thank you for being on our path!
Here are some of the quality standards and adaptations that have been put in place to assure that you continue to have the most high quality care for your child(ren)/family.
- Competitive pay to assure that we have highly trained and consistent staff.
- Collaborative overlapping meeting/training/planning time for staff to ensure organization.
- Lower (than State recommended) teacher/child ratios assure that children are getting an increase in teaching time. Infants being in a 2/1 ratio is an unheard of practice in child care.
- Additional staff scheduled to do health screening upon arrival and perform additional cleaning and toy rotation duties daily.
- Additional staff scheduled to provide simplicity of drop off and pick up at the door.
- The addition of a, “real” sink into the preschool space (previously we had a portable that was cumbersome & unreliable).
- Additional dispensers/stations for soap, paper towel & hand sanitizer.
- Childrens rest time bedding being provided and laundered weekly by FKS.
- Home made, healthy snacks provided that include fruits and vegetables each day. Milk & bottled water provided readily.
- Childcare software as an added convenience for parents to be paperless and have child information at your fingertips. Developmental milestones are being tracked and recorded and pictures of real time activities shared.
- Recognizing NAEYC (National Association of the Education of Young Children) Accreditation Standards and implementing components as a higher quality of care and well being for young children.
- Weekly at home learning activity suggestions.
- As we know Phase 3 at this time, you can count on FKS to remain open for approved workers.
- 3x per week Zoom meetings for pre-schoolers and 1x per week Zoom meetings for school age while we were all away and in the case that we go back to Phase 2.
What Our Parents Think About FKS
“My son started in the preschool program in the fall of 2015. Since then the changes we have seen in him have been amazing! We love seeing him grow and develop his independence. He’s making friends and building his skills to make the transition to kindergarten. The teachers are fantastic!”
“There is a fantastic lady named Amanda Hall that works here. She’s incredibly sweet and has a love and a gift for kids.”
“I am so grateful for the women who work at FKS and care for my daughter everyday. They are loving and patient. They remember Gisa’s likes and dislikes. They are professional and yet still warm and personal. And they serve Calder’s milk! Thank you FKS! Your care makes a difference in this mama’s daily life.”
