In our school you will find that teachers all work together as a team and enjoy establishing new relationships with the children and families. We strive to make our families feel as if KinderCare is part of their extended family.
- Your child's health and safety is very important to us. Ms. Michele, our on-site Health and Safety Coordinator, performs monthly disaster and fire drills, dispenses medicine, and performs routine safety checks to ensure the safety of our children. We have a keypad entry to enter the center and the code is changed quarterly. To protect your child's privacy on the playground, we have a privacy fence. All of our teachers are CPR and First Aid certified.
