In a field like childcare, where staff turnover is high, Kids R Kids is breaking the mold. During a recent discussion with her management team, Ms Christy recognized the large number of employees that had been around for 5 or more years, prompting her to organize an appreciation dinner. The dinner was held on Thursday, July 7th at Louie & Maria’s restaurant on East Colonial. 12 of the 14 “veteran” employees attended this special dinner. Her longest tenured employee, Pilar Vidal, has been with the company for 13 years – she was one of the first employees hired when the center opened in 1998!
These 14 employees come from diverse backgrounds that represent the diverse cultures in the East Orlando Area. Between them, they speak 7 different languages, and come from 7 different countries. Best of all, they carry more than 214 years of combined experience working with children!
Please take a moment to congratulate these 14 employees. They include: Pilar Vidal (13 years), Lisa Apoo (9 years), Jennifer Crenshaw (8 years), Edith Mousadi (7 years), Eda Vizcaino (6 years), Suma Mousa (6 years), Dignora Segura (6 years), Leida Zayas (6 years), Karisa Byrd (6 years), Charmaine Jobson (5 years), Samar Muhaisen (5 years), Jennifer Nanni (5 years), Lilliam Santana (5 years), Tory Barker (5 years).
