When hiring new staff, we are always seeking candidates who have experience working with children and who have degrees in early childhood education or a related field.
We will hire great candidates who do not have the education, but then we expect them to pursue this through our company sponsored Child Development Associate Certification program.
Teachers who wish to pursue further learning are encouraged to do so through a tuition reimbursement program.
These staff benefits are examples of the KinderCare commitment to educational excellence.

School Notes
- Welcome to Kennydale KinderCare! Our learning center nurtures and educates children from six weeks to 12 years of age. Our research-based programs are designed to help children develop cognitively, socially, emotionally, and physically. We know that learning should be a happy, natural experience that is lovingly encouraged and gently reinforced. We believe in giving children the opportunity to make choices, be responsible, and to be treated with respect every day.
- Safety is our top priority. We pride ourselves on providing a safe environment for all the children in our care. We are a secure facility which requires a keypad code to enter our building and fenced in and age appropriate playgrounds. Additionally, we have a health and safety coordinator at our school that ensures and checks the safety of our school daily.
