2. Infant Supervision & Feeding Accuracy Protocol

At Kids ‘R’ Kids West McKinney, we follow strict, documented infant supervision and feeding accuracy practices that exceed state requirements. Every infant has a personalized feeding plan created with their family, and teachers follow these instructions with careful precision. All feedings, naps, and diaper changes are recorded in real time and communicated to families daily.

Infants are never left unattended, and we do not place babies in swings or loungers for extended periods. Instead, teachers engage infants in meaningful developmental routines—tummy time, sensory play, floor interaction, visual exploration, music, and early communication exercises—ensuring they receive constant, hands-on attention.

These enhanced procedures were strengthened in recent years as part of our commitment to continuous improvement, transparency, and the highest standards of infant care.

3. Positive Guidance & Behaviour Management Policy

We maintain a strict positive guidance policy that prohibits physical punishment or rough handling under any circumstances. All teachers are trained in age-appropriate redirection, emotional support, conflict resolution, and proactive classroom management. If a behavioural concern or peer-related issue ever arises, our leadership team responds immediately, communicates transparently with families, and documents every step taken. Our goal is to ensure children feel emotionally safe, respected, and supported while learning how to navigate social situations.

4. Highly Trained, Background-Checked Educators

Rigorous Hiring

Every team member undergoes:

• National and state background checks
• FBI fingerprinting
• Professional reference screening

5. Positive Guidance & Incident Response Policy

Our school maintains a strict Positive Guidance Policy that prohibits physical punishment, yelling, rough handling, or any form of negative discipline. Teachers receive ongoing training in redirection, emotional support, peer conflict resolution, and classroom behaviour management.

If a behavioural concern, peer interaction issue, or classroom incident occurs, our leadership team responds immediately. We investigate thoroughly, document each step, speak directly with involved families, and provide clear, transparent communication about the resolution.

This structured response process ensures that children feel emotionally safe and that families stay fully informed. We continuously strengthen our training and procedures to ensure the highest standard of care and professionalism.

We regularly evaluate classroom ratios, engagement practices, supervision, and emotional climate to ensure that every child experiences a nurturing, developmentally appropriate, and secure environment.

We take parent feedback seriously and continuously evolve our practices to meet the highest standards of childcare excellence.

Morgan Plagman
Hey are seriously the absolute best place ever to leave your child. They took my little one at a month old and loved him like he was their own kid. The whole staff is just amazing. I was very sad when I had to leave. I definitely recommend leaving your kid in any of the employees there care.

Rebekah Mead
I was told I couldn’t have anymore kids, so you can imagine how much of a helicopter mom I am with my son. He is also my only boy lol So my little man has been going here for almost 2 years now, and I can safely say that I will never take him anywhere else. All of the teachers and admin have been so accommodating to mine and my son’s specific situational needs. I was a crazy person in the beginning and I never once felt like they were annoyed with me. They calmed my fears and gave me so much reassurances. I love the video system as well. I can log in anytime to check in on my guy. Just like any daycare, there will always be little things that bug a mom. However, I can honestly say that every single time I have had an issue, they have been so receptive and understanding.. I love all the teachers!! His teachers were in Suites 200, 250, 300, and 350.
