Their staff to child ratios are high to ensure that every child feels special (1:2 infants; 1:3 toddlers; 1:5 school age). KiddieCorp team members are selected according to their integrity, experience, education and enthusiasm. They must be wonderful with kids! You will feel secure knowing that the KiddieCorp team is bonded and that they carry ample liability insurance.

Activities
