The teachers and staff at South Medina KinderCare are passionate about educating and nurturing children.
Eighty percent of our teachers have completed Associate’s Degrees, Bachelor’s Degrees and even a Master’s Degree.
The South Medina team strives for excellence through continuing education from our company’s professional development trainings held twice a year to seeking additional college courses or seminars in the education field.
This also includes several on-site trainings from various child-related agencies from within our community.
However, at the end of the day, the true key to our teachers' success is their passion for teaching and their love of learning.
