Welcome to Eden Prairie KinderCare on Aztec Drive. We are very
excited to share our NAEYC accedited school and our family with
yours! At our school we believe in developing the whole child. This
means that we support your child through social, emotional,
cognitive, and physical development. We do this in many different
ways including learning through play and real life experiences. At
our KinderCare, we have built a strong community by taking pride in
the relationships we create through family communication. We
encourage family involvement in our classrooms and work together to
support the children in our care.
Health and Safety are of up most priority to us. We have many
features at our center to help promote a safe environment including
keypad entry, fenced in playgrounds and a clock in/out system. We
also have a Health and Safety Coordinator, Ms. Cris, on site. She
spends time each week checking our center and working with our
teachers to update them on new procedures to ensure our safety
standards are being met. We conduct monthly fire, disaster, and
tornado drills for all children and teachers. All of our teachers
are trained in Pediatric First Aid and Pediatric CPR, SIDS and
Shaken Baby Syndrome, Universal Precautions, Communicable Diseases,
Summer Safety, along with a number of other trainings that we
complete at our monthly training meetings.
