About Us

MyKkids is a licensed Christian nonprofit child development center focused on helping children and families. Our mission is to support children’s spiritual, physical, and emotional development with love and respect. We offer a structured educational program run by trained staff who regularly develop their skills through ongoing education. Although we are a Christian daycare, we are inclusive of families from all religious/non religious backgrounds. All faith integration learning opportunities are optional. Our services include After-school care, Preschool, and Transitional Kindergarten, all within a developmentally appropriate environment. Children in our care enjoy nutritious meals and engaging activities in a safe, nurturing environment. Our philosophy focuses on well-being and growth, promoting cooperation, leadership skills, and self-esteem. Skilled teachers and staff manage our program, and we welcome parent volunteers for special events.

Philosophy

MyKkids emerged from the “Kinesthetic” idea, which means the awareness of one’s self, within their spatial relationship through motion. The “K” is also for “Kingdom” kids, or the children of God. Both happen where “Kids” are the people doing the action, for themselves and others. Movement and motor experiences are crucial to human development, MyKkids basis itself on sensory experiences. As children move, they learn. MyKkids, Kingdom and Kinesthetic curriculum is specifically designed to use the natural environment as a pathway to learn. Children at MyKkids will learn through these types of models of play.

History

MyKkids was formerly known as SP Kinesthetic Kids, a program which was based on a concept created by Douglas Klaif. The original program started in 1999 in a small building on Meridian, in South Pasadena. In 2001, Kinesthetic moved to the United Methodist Church grounds, located at 699 Monterey Road, where it resided until the creation of MyKkids January 1, 2019. MyKkids is a Christian Non-Profit committed to helping the children and families of South Pasadena, emotionally, developmentally and spiritually. MyKkids continues to service children from the ages 2 1/2 years (Preschool) through 12 years of age (After-school).

Mission Statement

Here at MyKkids children learn what it takes to be a team player. We encourage a strengthening of individuality through the activities we do. Family involvement is a necessity, community support is the goal, and success of a child is the reward of it all. It takes a village to raise a child.
