PROGRAM ACHIEVEMENTS
E.J.’s Kids Klub, Inc. is a high quality, Vermont Licensed early childhood program. We are a Vermont certified 4 STAR program by choice as moving to a 5 STAR level would involve creating specific classroom environments. While we meet most of the standards required by STARS, we are philosophically unwilling to “script” classroom environments for children. This is our opinion and our personal preference. It is not intended to be a negative reflection on the STARS model (which does increase quality for Vermont children). Our intention is to create classroom environments which meet the needs of the children in the group based on their temperaments, developmental needs, interests and more. In our opinion, the environment acts as the 3rd teacher, and an intentionally designed environment can dramatically influence the overall success of a classroom. UPDATE: STARS has recently gone through a major revision, and we look forward to utilizing the new options available to us to obtain the 5th STAR.
We are an approved Vermont Agency of Education pre-kindergarten program, and we are currently partnered with 10 local school districts. This partnership allows families to access ACT 166 pre-kindergarten funding per Vermont Law. This funding is available to all families regardless of income with children 3 – 5 years of age. The Office Team will provide you additional information on the program, eligibility requirements and the enrollment process.
E.J.’s is an Eco-Healthy green childcare program. EHCC is a national program that partners with childcare professionals to eliminate or reduce environmental health hazards found within or around childcare facilities. We are committed to meeting the best practices of an environmentally healthy environment for the children in our care. More information about the EHCC program can be found via the link provided in our additional resources section.
Our program is also a Protective Service Provider, and as such, we meet all of the standards and requirements of the Vermont agencies we do business with.
