How We Hire the Best: What Makes Kid Champion’s Staff So Exceptional
At Kid Champion, we believe your child deserves more than just “childcare.” They deserve connection, compassion, consistency — and caregivers who truly care.
That’s why we take staff hiring and culture more seriously than just about anyone in the business. Our teachers aren’t just employees. They’re the heart of our program — and the single most important factor in your child’s day-to-day experience.
Here’s how we find, vet, and support the best early childhood educators in Little Rock.
✅ It Starts With Higher Standards
Many daycares do the bare minimum when hiring — a quick background check, a pulse, and a willingness to show up. That’s not us.
At Kid Champion, every candidate goes through:
A multi-step interview process, including scenario-based questions
A working interview where they interact with kids and staff
Full state and federal background checks
Reference checks from past employers or childcare placements
We don’t hire anyone we wouldn’t trust with our own children — because we know that’s exactly what you’re doing.
👩🏫 We Look for Natural Born Teachers
We’re not just hiring babysitters or clock-punchers. We’re looking for people who light up around children — the kind who:
Get down on the floor to play
Speak gently but firmly
Know how to balance fun with structure
Are always learning and improving themselves
Our best hires often have backgrounds in:
Early childhood education or psychology
Elementary or preschool teaching
Nursing or healthcare
Paraprofessional or youth mentorship roles
And more importantly — they have the right heart.
🔍 We Prioritize Fit Over Fast Hiring
When a daycare is desperate to fill a position, they often rush the process. That’s how toxic work cultures, high turnover, and chaotic classrooms happen.
At Kid Champion, we’ll leave a role unfilled before we hire someone who isn’t a great fit. We’d rather have a team that’s a little stretched — but rock solid — than one that’s full but fragile.
And that commitment pays off. Our families feel it. Our classrooms are calmer. And our team sticks around.
💪 We Train, Mentor, and Promote From Within
Hiring great people is just the beginning. We invest in their growth — so they can pour even more into your kids.
Every staff member receives:
Initial training that goes far beyond state requirements
Ongoing mentorship from experienced leads and directors
Opportunities for promotion and leadership development
Paid continuing education in child development, behavior guidance, and more
We don’t just hand someone a classroom and hope for the best. We build teachers, not just fill slots.
❤️ We Take Care of Our Team — So They Can Take Care of Your Kids
One of our core beliefs is this: children thrive when the adults around them feel supported.
That’s why we work hard to create a staff culture built on:
Mutual respect and professionalism
Predictable schedules and a strong work-life balance
Team collaboration, not competition
Appreciation, not burnout
When our team feels valued and empowered, they show up every day with energy, patience, and joy. And your child benefits from that, in every single interaction.
🏆 The Result: Exceptional Care You Can Count On
When you walk into a Kid Champion classroom, you’ll notice something different:
Teachers who know your child’s name, routine, and personality
A calm, confident tone — not yelling or chaos
A culture where kindness, professionalism, and love for kids is obvious
It’s not magic. It’s the result of hiring with intention, developing with care, and building a team that’s proud to wear the Kid Champion badge.
