Our VALUES:

We Are Family.

We Are Family:

Every child, parent, guardian, staff member, and leader is part of our extended family. We treat one another with love, respect, and compassion-just like home.

Growing Together:

We believe in the power of community. Children, caregivers, and educators all learn and grow side by side, supporting one another every step of the way.

Discover and Shine:

Every child is unique. We create a nurturing space where kids can explore, express themselves, and discover who they are with confidence and joy.

Lead with Heart:

Our leadership and staff are guided by empathy, integrity, and purpose-modeling kindness and care in everything we do.

Our Mission

At Kidz Klub Discovery Center, our mission is to create a safe and uplifting space where children can explore who they are, discover their passions, and grow into confident, capable individuals. We believe every child deserves the chance to uncover their unique strengths through hands-on experiences, creative play, and meaningful connections.
Guided by a team rooted in our program and committed to our community, we encourage kids to try new things, build new skills, and develop lasting hobbies—all while feeling seen, supported, and celebrated. Through discovery, growth, and genuine care, we’re helping every child shine in their own way!

“The program is awesome. If someone is asking for a program or is looking for somewhere for their kids to go after school, I send them in Dave’s direction.”

— Kendra McCalom, a mother of 3 students at the Kidz Klub

Our Impact

The Peña family and their dedicated team care for approximately 50 children between the ages of 5 and 12, providing a safe, engaging, and enriching environment at the New York State-licensed Kidz Klub Discovery Center.

Founded in June 2018, Kidz Klub was created to offer a variety of programs including after-school care, enrichment clubs, summer camps, and childcare during school breaks. With over 19 years of experience in the field, Albany native David Peña leads the center as Director, bringing a deep passion and long-standing commitment to youth development.

Kidz Klub is a proud family-run operation. The leadership team includes Triticia Peña, Office Manager; Nadaya Peña, Assistant Director; and Cheryl Peña, also serving as Office Manager. Together, they work to ensure every child receives thoughtful, consistent care in a positive and nurturing environment.

The center also employs local high school and college students—many of whom once attended Kidz Klub themselves—creating a full-circle experience that fosters mentorship, growth, and a strong sense of community.

Outside of daily programming, the Kidz Klub team remains active in the Albany community, giving back through partnerships and hosting quarterly events that are free and open to the public, furthering their mission to support families and enrich young lives.
