Welcome to Centennial KinderCare! Our KinderCare center is nestled
in the Centennial neighborhood located just off of Springmill Road
and 156th Street. Our center is NAEYC accredited as well as a Level
4 with the State of Indiana’s Paths to Quality Program. We pride
ourselves in offering a quality educational program where we build
a solid foundation for future school success. Families are an
integral part of everything we do and extremely important in aiding
a home-school connection.
The health, safety, security and well-being of your child is our
top priority. All of our exterior doors are locked and have a bell
to alert staff to the door being openend. In addition, all doors
(except the front entry door) lead to a fenced in playground with
locked gates as an extra measure of safety. Our front lobby area
has a locked entry door secured with a keypad. Only enrolled
families and staff are given a key code. Visitors are asked to ring
the doorbell and wait for a member of management to check their
photo ID and escort them to the appropriate classroom. The
Centennial KinderCare has an appointed health and safety
coordinator on staff to complete daily safety checks as well as
monthly fire and disaster drills. Our teachers and staff also
partipate in First Aid and CPR certification annually. The infant
staff is trained in safe sleep practices and SIDS prevention. Our
center provides nutritious meals and snacks planned by a licensed
dietician. Each classroom practices family-style dining where
teachers model appropriate table manners and encourage children to
assist in meal time routines.
