LET’S RUN LIKE A CHEETAH

Our cheetah guides have been screened for a background check and fingerprints. The background check allows us to see a person's criminal record, education, and past employment.  This reassures us that the children are in safe hands during the Cheetah Program.

Our cheetah guides  have completed DCFS Mandated Reporter Training and are mandated reporters. They are trained to report any observed or suspected abuse.  This ensures safety for the children and prevents abuse.

Our cheetah guides have completed a research based curriculum training that aligns with the Illinois State Physical Education Goals and Social Emotional Learning Standards for Illinois. They are skilled in mindfulness and behavior management as a positive approach to learning. 

Our cheetah guides have an Education degree and/or experience in working with children. They believe in the importance of exercise to benefit the well-being of a child. They are trained in mindfulness and de-escalation techniques that nurture the whole child.   They enjoy working with children and are committed to providing a positive learning experience.   

Our cheetah guides are professional and prompt. They are prepared to provide the children with a positive and rewarding learning experience. They are motivated and committed to improving  the mental, physical, and emotional health of children.  They are invested in the future of all children.
