School Reviews
5 3/5/2020
My two-year-old has attended this kinder care, full time, from when he was an infant to the present. After a visit to his developmental specialist we were told that he is above average on all his cognitive, fine motor, gross motor, social and language skill milestones to date. I believe this is attributed to the curriculum at Kinder care. The teachers, directors and everyone are terrific, and the center's atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. I would highly recommend this preschool!
