School Notes
- Welcome to our center located in Cranberry Township. Our education
experts designed our classrooms '” and every activity and lesson '”
to help prepare your child for success in school and beyond. With
designated learning centers such as dramatic play, blocks, art,
writing, library, and math/science in every classroom, children
have the opportunity for rich learning, social play, and
child-initiated discovery.
You'll also find that our classrooms feature a print-rich environment full of carefully selected materials, written charts and labels, and children's literature. By helping your child connect spoken words and print, we're developing early literacy and writing skills.
Our education department has consulted with leading early childhood experts to insure that our curricula are developmentally appropriate and meet all the learning domains. Our newly refreshed curricula align with the Common Core and are crosswalked with the PA Early Learning Standards.
Recent research conducted in MD and FL has shown that children who attended KinderCare were better prepared and more successful in kindergarten than their peers that did not attend a KinderCare. Similar research is currently being conducted in partnership with the PA Department of Education and we look forward to those results.
We are very proud to let you know that we're nationally accredited by NAEYC as a high-quality early learning center and are a Keystone STAR 3 center - the highest quality rating in our state!
Whether your child has first words or first grade on the horizon, we're excited to show you how everything in our center is designed for learning, growth, and development! - At KinderCare, the safety of our children and the confidence of our parents are points of great importance. From daily sign-in to strict parent or guardian identification and single keypad access, we maintain a rigorous standard for safety. Plus our daily cleanliness and maintenance schedules leave nothing at all to chance.
