- Welcome to the Coal Mine KinderCare! We have been in this community for going on 30 years. We are known for providing ongoing, supportive, quality care, where children come first. If you were to ask our parents what makes us stand out it would be family socialization opportunities. Many of my families have created lasting relationships outside of school where their children have play dates, enjoy birthday parties, and most importantly grow up with their friends. We support these relationships by providing school-wide events to bring our families together, because these relationships are what truly matter. Our curriculum is above all the rest, and genuinely focuses on the whole child. Whether your child is an infant or coming for their first day in Preschool our curriculum in going to be based on their individual needs. Come in today to see how important it is for you to join our family.
