Kids R Kids #13 Quality Learning

Our Mission

Infants

Our infant suite provides the highest quality care in an environment that is designed with the parent and child in mind. While in our care the children are stimulated through music exercise outdoor blanket time facial and verbal mimicking as well as lots of hugs and tickles. Kids’R’Kids #13TX provides each child with a crib and clean sheet laundered daily and a drawer for their personal items. Supplies provided by the parent include six to seven disposable diapers per day a change of clothes bottles filled with formula or mother’s milk labeled with the child’s first and last name and any needed diaper creams or powders. We give each child the attention and love they deserve as well as parental daily reports on feedings diapering and napping. Healthy growth and development is our top priority at Kids’R’Kids #13TX. We ensure a child’s well being by requiring all our caregivers to obtain First Aid and CPR along with many hours of State required classes. Return to work with peace of mind that your child is in good hands with us.

Toddlers

At this age children are meeting new challenges as fast as they come. Crawling walking and eventually running are levels they accomplish in what seems like a blink of an eye. Kids’R’Kids #13TX provides 100% juices and vitamin D milk for breakfast lunch and snacks. During the transition from jar food to table food we encourage our parents to pick up the weekly menu and circle the foods their toddler likes and cross off the ones they don’t wish them to eat. Substitutions can be made if necessary. Toilet training is an educational process in which we take pride in helping our parents and children. Items provided by the parent include an adequate number of training pants for each day and several changes of clothes. Every item brought to school should be labeled with the child’s name. Children learn best if they are in a stimulating environment. Music stories outdoor play and learning simplicities envelop much of the day. Our caregivers are dedicated in helping each child develop these skills through a trusting and loving relationship. A parental daily report is given to update each family on meal times nap times toilet training and all activities accomplished each day. Your toddler will mature into a fun-filled preschooler ready willing and able to take on the world and all it has to offer.

Preschoolers

A good preschool can make a difference in a child’s future school years. Kids’R’Kids #13TX offers individual programs for children to help them learn in an environment that is stress free and fun.
Some learning centers our preschoolers explore are music science math language arts and manipulative play. Each child develops at their own pace and we encourage communication between staff members and parents on the progress of their child. Daily reports or weekly newsletters from the classroom teachers update parents on activities future class projects and field trips.

Hot meals and nutritional snacks are provided on a daily basis and weekly menus are available in the front lobby.We ask each child to come to school with a change of clothes to keep in their cubby box and remind them that personal toys should be limited to “show and tell” days only.

A child takes in more information between the ages of one to six years than they do the remainder of their life. Kids’R’Kids #13TX wants to be a part of that development by offering an education that will help mold today’s children into tomorrow’s leaders.
