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.

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)

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.
