IT'S DIFFERENT HERE AT KDA

We do things differently here at KDA, and are proud of it! If you are looking for a change, come and see if KDA is the right match for you.

Core Values

We believe that each Team member should be respected as an individual with their own set of unique strengths. For our staff, this means:

  • We don't care if your teaching qualifications are from state-approved experience or college classes, as long as you truly enjoy interacting with children, are positive, and work while on the clock.
  • When there are repetitive issues in a classroom, we don't jump to blaming the child, we look at the classroom management strategies and environment. Most importantly, we collaborate with our Team. We all have different strengths and perspectives, so when problems come, we listen to each other and solve them together.
  • Our Team is everything! If a toilet is overflowing, you are just as likely to see the Director or the Owner cleaning it up as another staff member. We all share the responsibility to create a clean, safe, encouraging, nurturing, and engaging environment for the kiddos.
  • Do you cringe when your co-workers complain or gossip about someone else? We do, too! If there is a problem, our Management Team is here to help solve the problem, and we won't tell anyone, either.
  • We follow State Standards...always.
