Kids Unlimited Learning Academy is looking for a reliable van rider who is comfortable working with children, communicates well, and brings a warm, professional attitude to the role. This position is a good fit for someone who wants to contribute to a respected organization that supports young children and helps prepare them for fulfilling lives.

About the Organization

Miracle Kids Success Academy (MKSA) and Kids Unlimited Learning Academy (KULA) are early intervention day treatment clinics serving children with special needs. Children are referred by primary care physicians and go through developmental screening before therapy evaluations are scheduled. Families may also provide recent therapy evaluation reports completed elsewhere. To qualify for Early Intervention Day Treatment habilitation services, a child must have a documented developmental disability or delay shown through an annual comprehensive developmental evaluation and must qualify for at least one therapy service.

Services may support needs such as fine motor delays, sensory disorders, gross motor delays, speech and language delays, hearing disorders, feeding concerns, developmental delays, cognitive delays, and medical needs.

Children are assigned to treatment rooms according to age and developmental needs. These rooms are staffed with teachers and teacher assistants and are designed to reflect and respect the cultural differences of the children and families served. The team also includes licensed occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and nurses to support children with therapy and medical needs.

The organization also offers developmental and psychological assessments by a licensed psychologist, nutritional evaluations and consultations, and audiological evaluations. Care teams work closely with families to meet each child’s needs.

MKSA/KULA generally serves children from birth through kindergarten, and expands services during the summer months to include elementary school-aged children with special needs.

Qualifications

The role requires a high school diploma or equivalent and the applicant must be at least 21 years old. No previous experience is necessary.
