We continue to provide the community with quality childcare and preschool from ages six weeks to5 years. We strive to create an environment that is educational, caring, safe and fun - while being committed to developing the whole child. Our dedicated staff have well over 70 years of combined KinderCare service, attend regular trainings, and several are pursuing further education in Early Childhood Development. Come see us today for a tour of the center and to meet our awesome staff!
