Meet the team that makes it all happen…
Kids Klub’s programs regularly exceed state staffing ratios in all components to provide the highest level of care and supervision. Our teachers are experienced and trained in Childhood Development, Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and have all been fingerprinted and successfully completed background checks and clearances through the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Child Abuse Index.
Facilities the size of Kids Klub Child Development Centers have many staffing requirements. We are fortunate to have a crew comprised of wonderful teachers, assistants, and volunteers with a variety of strengths, talents, and backgrounds. All of our staff members are a marvelous asset to our centers. Our staff at Kids Klub is over 200 strong—too numerous to be able to mention each individual. However, we are confident you will get to know them as you and your child become a part of the Kids Klub family.
