Working for Kangaroo Clubhouse
Jennifer and Kody Koppes, Owners
Jennifer has worked in childcare for over 15 years. Owning a center has always been her dream since she was a little girl. Her first business was offering babysitting services to family friends using handwritten business cards made of construction paper. The ability to offer high quality early childhood care to over 500 children since opening her first location has been more than she could have ever hoped. Kody loves the daycare life just as much as Jenn! He can often be seen playing with the kids between daycare projects, and always has an entourage of excited little helpers. They have four children between ages 13 and 2, and an adorable foster baby who has recently joined their family. They enjoy taking advantage of Idaho’s many perks, such as camping, hiking, fishing. Spending time with loved ones is always a priority, whether family or friend. They love to host holiday parties, and no one can beat their Halloween decorations! They are avid homeschoolers and hope to travel with their children, sharing with them the love of nature and this country. “I love being able to wake up every day doing what I enjoy most, leading my incredible team while we love on, care for, and teach the children at Kangaroo Clubhouse.”- Jennifer “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”- Aristotle |

Qualities We Look For In A Teacher
As guides and role models to the children we serve, we look for individuals who live and exemplify our Core Values. Early education teachers have the rewarding task of teaching and guiding young children’s intellectual and interpersonal growth through play, educational tools, and instructional activities in the classroom.
We look for teachers who already have or are working toward early childhood education certificate or degrees, but we are always willing to train someone who would be an excellent fit to our culture.
A teacher must be able to have good classroom management skills which requires being able to retain the attention span of multiple young children at once. That means patience and play are equally important. They must be able to implement lesson plans and ensure each child in their room is receiving a quality education that will prepare him/her for elementary school.
We look for team members who are dedicated to their classroom, their center, but first and foremost each and every child in their care. A teacher should have a love for children, patience, empathy, creativity, and a desire to mold and shape young minds. Children are meant to have fun! We love to see our teachers being just as silly as the kids and exploring right alongside them.

FAQ
- Why doesn't Kangaroo Clubhouse pay for the criminal history background check, CPR/First Aid, or Boise City License if I'm an employee?
- These licenses belong to you, not Kangaroo Clubhouse and are required for employment in childcare by the State of Idaho and Boise City. You can use these licenses for other employment that requires these clearances. After hire, we will pay for any renewals needed.
