Kid of the Week: Keilan

Feb 27, 2025

This week, we’re celebrating Keilan as our Kid of the Week from the Lebanon Unit! At just five years old and in Kindergarten in the LCSC district, Keilan is already making a big impact at the Club with his kind heart, endless energy, and always-positive attitude.

Getting to Know Keilan


Keilan loves recess, lunch, and reading books. He recently read a story about someone who didn’t like reading until they found their favorite book—just like him! Now, reading has become one of his favorite things to do.

When asked if he could meet any famous person, Keilan had the sweetest answer:
“I don’t need to meet anyone famous, my favorite person is my mom, and I want to spend time with her!”

Club Favorites


Keilan’s favorite room at the Club is the gym, where he gets to run around and play games with his friends. His favorite thing to do at the Club is visiting the Club Bucks store—he earns Bucks by “being kind and good!” Keilan’s favorite staff member is Dillon (although Bridget might disagree)!

Superpowers & Future Dreams


If Keilan could have one superpower, he would choose to fly! Not only would he zoom around everywhere, but he’d also carry his friends because he’s such a kind person. Walking? “Too slow and boring!”

When he grows up, Keilan wants to be both a cook and a police officer—protecting his family while still making time to bake chocolate chip cookies (his favorite snack to nibble on!).

Fun Facts About Keilan

His favorite candy is a classic Hershey bar. Something he wants people to know? “I am really kind, fast, and strong!

We are so lucky to have Keilan at the Club, and we can’t wait to see him continue to grow and shine! Keep being great, Keilan!
