Safe and secure:<\/strong> Before and after school programs are a safe and structured space for young children, especially when their parents are away at work. The constant supervision and safety protocol followed by schools ensure a child\u2019s well-being. While the constant engagement in age-appropriate and educational activities ensures the child is learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids, Circa Fishhawk ensures that children are in the safest environment possible:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clean classrooms: These include a personal place for belongings, organized learning centers, disinfected toys, and play areas, and child-sized sinks for washing hands.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Certified Teachers: Infant\/Child and Adult CPR, and First Aid.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Glass Walls: Unlike typical <\/span><a title=\"daycare\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/EZ1eiJ9D1BLJyXbC6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">daycare<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">centers, Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids\u2019 classrooms feature tempered glass walls for maximum visibility and safety.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Safety Guard on Door Hinges: The doors are padded at the hinges so that little fingers don\u2019t get pinched when doors are opened and closed between classrooms.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regular Drills: Tornado, fire, hurricane, and school lock-down drills are conducted for preparation is always a good policy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Electronic Security: Coded entry ensures the entry of only authorized visitors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hiring Process: All staff undergo extensive state-mandated background checks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Front Desk: A well-staffed front desk for impeccable supervision of the facility and authorized entries only.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Security Cameras: Security cameras in classrooms are monitored at the front desk so owners and staff can easily watch classroom activities throughout the day. Families can also log in to a secure, password-protected website to check in on their child periodically.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nutritious meals: These are prepared onsite that exceed USDA guidelines. The dining experience at Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids is created to enhance social skills and table manners and make parents happy in the knowledge that their kids are well taken care of.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>2. Life skills:<\/strong> Whether it\u2019s team sports or academic group activity, after-school programs help in the development of physical dexterity, mental toughness, and collaborative skills in children.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>3. Socialization:<\/strong> Before and <\/span><a title=\"after school programs\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/After-school_activity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">after school programs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> allow more social time and more engagement with new and more people. This promotes cooperation, support, and respect for others. Kids in these programs are more likely to be included and feel like they\u2019re part of a group. These programs often have more adult supervision than playground time offers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids, G.Y.M curriculum\u00ae is ideal for \u201cGrowing Young Minds\u201d wherein a child\u2019s experience would range from fun character-building and STEAM-based activities to social interactions with real staying power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>4. Academic support:<\/strong> Many afterschool programs provide help with homework. This is very helpful for kids who struggle with homework at home or who can\u2019t sit down to do it until late.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The all-inclusive weekly tuition at Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids takes care of a child\u2019s learning over and above the usual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>5. Discover interests and talents:<\/strong> Learning after school may span across varied topics such as robotics, science, art, music, or dance. Exposure to this variety of activities allows children to discover their interests and for parents to identify a talent in their children that can be nurtured. These sessions aren\u2019t tests but fun and meaningful ways of self-discovery and acquire collaborative skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids\u2019 before and after school program, holiday breaks, and summer camps are designed to help kids dig a little deeper and find those ambitions, traits, and talents that will help them discover and develop their hidden potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>6. Physical health: <\/strong>Before and after school programs give more opportunities to children to indulge in physical activities like swimming, tennis, running, or any sport that allows movement. In a time where children are becoming addicted to gadgets and moving away from outdoor play, these programs bring children back to a better lifestyle and consequently better health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>7. Build confidence:<\/strong> Children who feel out of place at school or have minor learning challenges benefit tremendously from before and after school programs. Children may be more willing to try new things and take more positive risks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some children, for instance, don\u2019t ace their Maths test because their creative intelligence is more dominant. They may find their confidence boosted in before and after school programs in activities they resonate with. This confidence may slowly extend to other areas that matter, eventually. Discovering their hidden potential empowers them to show up in areas that may not be their forte.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why Kids \u2018R\u2019 kids?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The philosophy of \u201cHug First, Then Teach\u201d, defines every aspect of what Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids, Circa Fishhawk stands for.
