School Notes
- KinderCare at Arnold is different from most centers due to the relationship we have with thecommunity. We have been here for over 30 years and have built strong relationships throughout that time. Many ofour teachers have been with the center for many years, and we have several families that have been with us for 10 plus years and have multiple children in the center. They're truly like an extension of our own families as we are theirs. Our love for children, as well as the safety and healthy learning environment we provide, are what make us stand out.
- We have a key code secured entry, with codes only given out to parents when they enroll so that they may then enter the classrooms to pick up their children. In addition, someone is always in the office, and teachers are not permitted to let anyone in the classroom without the Center Director's authorization. We also have name-to-face checks every 30 minutes.
