MyKkids emerged from the “Kinesthetic” idea, which means the awareness of one’s self, within their spatial relationship through motion. The “K” is also for “Kingdom” kids, or the children of God.  Both happen where “Kids” are the people doing the action, for themselves and others.   Movement and motor experiences are crucial to human development, MyKkids basis itself on sensory experiences. As children move, they learn. MyKkids, Kingdom and Kinesthetic curriculum is specifically designed to use the natural environment as a pathway to learn. Children at MyKkids will learn through these types of models of play. MyKkids was formerly known as SP Kinesthetic Kids, a program which was based on a concept created by Douglas Klaif. The original program started in 1999 in a small building on Meridian, in South Pasadena.  In 2001, Kinesthetic moved to the United Methodist Church grounds, located at 699 Monterey Road, where it resided until the creation of MyKkids January 1, 2019. MyKkids is a Christian Non-Profit committed to helping the children and families of South Pasadena, emotionally, developmentally and spiritually.  MyKkids continues to service children from the ages 2 1/2 years (Preschool) through 12 years of age (After-school).
