Kangourou Kids: the benchmark for services to parents
Kangourou Kids is among the national network of childcare agencies exclusively dedicated to offering services to parents.
For us, caring for children is a true profession, which should not be diluted amongst other services such as cleaning or gardening. We only concentrate on the child’s needs education and development.
Those responsible for your children at the agency are professionals in early years education; their priorities are :
Your local Kangourou Kids Agency is comprised of professionals with experience in early childhood education or with significant prior experience with children. Our priority is to build and maintain a permanent, reassuring, trusting relationship with families in order to provide you with flexible and responsive answers in childcare.
Our principal missions:
- To welcome you, listen to you, and to determine the best solution for your child in accordance to your individual situation and needs, to implement our proposal and to make sure that we follow-up.
- To recruit, train and manage those who take care of your children. Our criteria ensure that those we select for our team not only are individuals who love children, but also individuals who have all the required qualifications.
We do background and reference checks on all our team members, and confirm their past educational and professional experiences. For example : where childcare services are needed for a child under 3 years old, a certificate or Diploma in early childcare is required when selecting the childcare provider.
Each worker signs a code of ethics agreement with the Agency which assures the well-being of your children. Our childcare methods are warm, and dedicated to providing a caring and positive atmosphere where fun activities and stimulating experiences actively support all areas of child development.
