About the Provider
The Kids' School is communication based in all our teaching methods. We feel communication is key with parents as well. Parents are a child's primary and most important teacher and we strive to support and keep parents involved with their child's early childhood experiences. The relationship between Kids' School staff and the families is so important to the growth of the child. Our relationship needs to be strong, open and communication filled in support of our family-program relationship philosophy. As required by CDD, our license is posted on the bulletin board and a copy of the regulation book is available for reading. Our license is renewed every three years. The Kids' School is a 4 STAR program. The Step Ahead Recognition System (STARS) is about going above and beyond the base line of the CDD's regulations. Being a part of STARS increases subsidy values, lets us collaborate with the public school system as a prequalified prekindergarten program and shows CDD that we are adding to our program to benefit your children.
