School Notes
- School Motto: It’s more than daycare—it’s KinderCare!
- Welcome to KinderCare Cerritos. We are known for providing a loving and warm environment that you will experience as soon as you come through our front door. Our curriculum engages the whole child so not only are they learning academics but they are learning the social emotional skills to continue their educational journey. We are looking forward to meeting you and your family. Please feel free to call to schedule a tour of our center so we can answer any questions you may have and get your child's education started today.
- Here at KinderCare Cerritos it is my number one priority to make sure that children are in a safe, clean, healthy environment. To help ensure this for parents we have daily sign-in and out procedures, strict parent/guardian identification release procedures, pin coded entrance, daily classroom observations for safe and age appropriate toys, weekly safety protocol practices, and monthly disaster drills. Plus our daily cleanliness and maintenance schedules leave nothing at all to chance for each and every child here in our center. '“ Pam G. Health & Safety Coordinator
