Kid's Community College, also referred to as KCC, is a public charter school and private preschool based in Riverview, Florida. Established in 2003 by Timothy B. Kilpatrick, Sr., Kid's Community College provides educational services and care for children six weeks of age through grade 12. History In March 2003, Timothy B. Kilpatrick, Sr. founded the first Kid's Community College (KCC) preschool campus in Riverview, Florida. During the 2005-2006 school year, Kilpatrick expanded the KCC educational offerings to include the Kid's Community College Elementary Charter School, serving grades kindergarten through fifth. Kid's Community College Franchises formed on November 21, 2006, and began offering KCC preschool franchises in November 2007. During the 2009-2010 school year, the Kid's Community College Middle Charter School (KCCMCS) opened its doors providing services for sixth grade, grew to sixth and seventh grade in 2010-2011, and expanded to sixth through eighth grade in 2011-2012. In October 2010, the Kid's Community College Elementary Orange County campus was approved and opened for the 2012-2013 school year in Orange County (Orlando), Florida. As of December 2017, there were eight KCC schools serving PreK through K12 students in Hillsborough and Orange counties. KCC subscribes to the Multiple Intelligence Theory of Howard Gardner, offers full PYP International Baccalaureate programs and one national and one international accreditations. The KCC System Prior to opening KCC in 2003, Kilpatrick collaborated with several child development graduate students to create the Kid's Community College 1st Degree Learning System. The system incorporates the Multiple Intelligence Principles of Howard Gardner with a differentiated, individual, and developmentally appropriate approach. Students are tested in the beginning of the school year using a number of measures including the Multiple Intelligence Development Assessment Scales (MIDAS). The MIDAS results indicate the individual learning modality of each student. KCC teachers then use the MIDAS and other assessments to tailor their classroom lesson plans to meet the individual learning styles of each child. Included in the 1st Degree Learning System are Individual Development and Education Plans (IDEPs) for every enrolled student. The IDEPs are completed three times throughout the school year through parent and teacher collaborations. Three goals are chosen for each student to accomplish with assistance of individual lesson plans created by the teacher specifically for each student's goal. The 1st Degree Learning System forms the foundation for the Kid's Community College mission statement, "dedicated to the well-being and educational success of EVERY child." The system
