Our Early Childhood Teachers and Assistant Teachers are certified through Wisconsin’s Registry for early childhood professionals. This system recognizes each individual’s accomplishments based on their early childhood coursework and degrees earned through a technical college or four year college, all additional training related to early childhood education and their experience working with children. All staff working with children under the age of two years receives additional certification and training in working with Infants and Toddlers. Upon hire, every teacher receives training on Abusive Head Trauma (formerly Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS), SIDS, recognizing child abuse and neglect, Wisconsin licensing standards, and implementing developmentally appropriate curriculum, as well as behavior management and positive discipline. Within their first three months of employment all staff are certified in First Aid and CPR. Teachers and Assistant Teachers are required by the State of Wisconsin to complete continuing education hours every year on various topics related to early childhood, preschool and child growth and development.
At K.C.C., we value our staff and therefore work with each one to continue their personal and professional growth. As a center, we enable their professional growth by providing resources such as the resource library, access to additional resources outside the center, paid trainings, and paid time to plan and prepare. We recognize that in order for our staff to care for others, their needs must also be addressed. We provide an employee lounge for breaks, competitive compensation, child care discount, retirement, paid sick time, vacation time, holidays and much more.
