Our center offers exciting and educational hands on curriculum for students age six weeks though twelve years, as well as opportunities to grow socially and emotionally. Our teachers are dedicated to your child's growth and success as learners and individuals. Whether your child is learning to sit up, write their name or learning multiplication, we are honored to practice those skills and build confidence. Everything we do is designed for learning!
- Health and Safety are of great importance here at KinderCare. Our
center offers keypad entry and strict pick-up policies. Only
authorized parties are allowed into the building, and must produce
photo identification.
We also offer fenced playgrounds. All students enter the playground directly into a fenced area, eliminating the dangers of a parking lot or unsecured area.
All teachers receive annual First Aid and CPR training.
Our center is professionally cleaned and surfaces sanitized multiple times throughout the week. Additionally, the carpets and tile are deep cleaned monthly. Our teachers use both anti-bacterial cleanser and sanitizer to keep surfaces and toys clean. Each day staff members complete a cleaning checklist to insure that all cleaning tasks have been completed.
