3. Mission Statement
• House of Kidds Childcare & Learning Center provides a secure, nurturing and educational
environment for children; a place for children to bloom into responsible, considerate and
contributing members of society. House of Kidds Childcare & Learning Center wants all
children to have the opportunity to grow physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually by
playing, exploring and learning with others in a fun, safe, and healthy environment. As a
family owned and operated organization, HOK welcomes positive family involvement. We
encourage a parent-teacher approach where the need of every child comes first in order to
experience the benefits of excellent early childhood education and school-age programs.

4. How HOK
Stays Safe
and
Healthy
• We ask staff, parents, and children to always
wear face coverings prior to entering our
building. (covid testing on site for staff,
children and parents Tuesdays and Fridays)
• HOK checks the child’s temperature as well as
the parent’s temperature upon arrival.
• If the child or anyone in the home is
experiencing a fever 100.4 or higher or
showing symptoms of illness, that child and
any siblings must be sent home .
• Kids immediately sanitize their hands and get
their shoes sanitized prior to entering the
double doors followed with hand washing
before entering the classroom.
