School Notes
- Welcome to Kensington KinderCare in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. We are very excited to meet with you and your family. We are here to provide a safe and secure educational environment to develop the whole child. We do this by focusing on the development of your child's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. Our staff is waiting to welcome you into our family. We treat each child as our family member, providing a warm and nurturing environment for him or her to learn in.
- At KinderCare, your child's safety is one of our top priorities. Not only are all of our outside perimeter doors locked to ensure security, but all of our playgrounds are fenced in as well. In addition, the front door has a coded entry where only authorized family members have a code to enter, as well as a doorbell for our guests. We also have a Health and Safety Coordinator on site. Her role is to conduct monthly safety drills, ensure that our staff's CPR and First Aid certificates are current, and ensure that we adhere to the highest cleanliness standards.
