The Director and teachers at KCP are self proclaimed Believers who lead a life exhibiting Christ centered behavior in our community. Our teachers LOVE what they do - and feel called to teach at KCP. And our teachers are well-trained! Each teacher has either a Child Development Associate (CDA) or Florida Child Care Professional Credential (FCCPC) and all are First Aid/Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) certified. Our teachers also have passed a Level 2 FBI background screening, sexual predator screening, and annual local FDLE background check. Our teachers have 45 hours of training through the Department of Children and Families as well as at least 10 hours of continuous education each year. We LOVE our teachers - and believe you will too!
