Our highly qualified staff at Kids R Kids Avalon Park are required to complete 45 hours of mandated training offered through the Department of Children and Families (DCF). We also require staff to complete 25 hours of professional development training each year – 2 1/2 times what is required by DCF. All staff are trained in First Aid/CPR, Infectious Disease Control, Injury Prevention, and Child Abuse Awareness. Additional training in curriculum, child development, classroom arrangement, classroom management, age appropriate activities, nutrition, field trip planning and OSHA regulations provide the skills needed to create a quality learning environment. The staff is encouraged to further their education through CDA and CCP programs and are given opportunities to attend professional training conferences.
