South Congress KinderCare
OverviewWelcome to South Congress KinderCare in Austin, Texas. We are... very excited to meet with you and your family! We believe in developing the whole child, so we place an emphasis on assisting children's social, cognitive, and physical development. Here at South Congress KinderCare, you become a part of our family. We believe that it takes a community to raise a child, and our parents consider us to be an extension of their own families (their community). Your child will not only have a safe, secure, and stimulating environment to learn in, but will have support from a team of child development experts who have a true passion for educating and nurturing children.
Teachers & StaffThe staff at South Congress KinderCare are passionate about educating and nurturing children. Our Teachers have an average tenure of five years at our center and a average of 15 years in the early childhood education field. The majority of our Teachers have an associate's or bachelor's degree in early childhood education. The South Congress team strives for excellence through continuing education, from biannual company professional development trainings to seeking additional college courses or seminars in the education field. At the end of the day, the true key to our success is our passion for teaching.
Health & SafetyOur top priority at South Congress KinderCare is to provide a safe and healthy environment for our children, families, and staff. We do this through rigorous training and constant assessment and evaluation of proper policies and procedures. Your child’s security begins at the front door--literally. We have a locked security entrance that requires a numeric code to enter, with all side doors locked to ensure the security of the building. All guests or those authorized for emergency pick-ups must provide photo identification before being escorted through the building. Our teachers have all cleared local, state, and federal background checks, including fingerprinting, and have all been trained in infant and child CPR and First Aid. We do routine fire, storm, and lock-down drills to prepare for the unexpected. No child is ever left unattended, even for a minute. Teachers have all been trained in supervision, discipline and guidance, and developmentally appropriate practices to ensure they understand the risks associated with the children in their care. If your child has food allergies or specific medical conditions, we will work with you to ensure your child’s well-being while in our care. We also take the responsibility of your child’s emotional security very seriously: We want every child to feel safe, loved, and respected while at KinderCare.
