We want to assist you in the rearing of your children and are very interested in your thoughts, opinions, and concerns. Kid's Kountry, LLC are privately owned childcare centers. Greg has a Teaching Degree and Karen has her Child Development Associate. Both have had many years of experience in the care and teaching of children as well as raising six children of their own. Children and parents alike enjoy the peaceful, clean, open atmosphere of our centers. We try to supply the children with the latest materials, toys, books and equipment for their learning and enjoyment. Our staff have their NM State Child Care 45 Hour Training and also have continuing education classes year around. Each staff member has also been trained in CPR and Basic First Aid. Kid's Kountry truly is a lovely place for children and their families. "Kid's Kountry provides a homelike environment for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years. We employ quality adult caregivers who receive continued professional training. Learning and development are emphasized for the children here at Kid's Kountry. Our goal is to have a bright, clean, stimulating environment filled with the latest children's activities and equipment. We want children to feel independent and excited about childhood. An atmosphere of friendly cooperation and courtesy are a priority for all Kid's Kountry children and adults." We encourage the children to obey the rules. We try to have important rules that do not interfere with the enthusiasm and energetic nature of the young child. Of course, hitting, biting and similar behaviors will be curtailed by first noting what motivated the problem and helping the offen ding child to find another way of coping with his/her problem. We do have a time out, which is used to remove the child from the conflict, to help them cool down. Aggressive behavior is usually caused by: fatigue, boredom, hunger, frustration, or need for kindness and attention.
