Kids Kondo
was founded in 1984 by Robert Clark after he realized how much he enjoyed working in the community, where he had grown up, and connecting with parents. So, in 1984, he moved the "in-home" childcare to the old home in the heart of Morningside on North Highland Avenue. Since then Kids Kondo has flourished and thrived effortlessly.
A true family institution, Kids Kondo
has been a family-run business for over 30 years. Robert’s children Benji and Barbara attended Kids Kondo and later came back to work at the center for several years. Benji served as a camp counselor, and Barbara worked as an after-school teacher while attending college.
That family tradition continues even today. All three of Barbara’s sons have attended Kids Kondo. The owners loved having their grandchildren follow their parents' education footsteps.
