With our center being one of the smaller KinderCare facilities, we are able to provide a more intimate atmosphere for our children and families.
Our loving and devoted professionals at KinderCare are passionate about teaching and caring for young children.
Their lifelong love of learning is evident in their desire to stay abreast of new research and teaching techniques.
Families meet with teachers two to three times per year to review their child’s progress, which is documented in our developmentally appropriate assessments, portfolios, and anecdotal notes about daily achievements.
We feel privileged to work alongside families to form supportive and cooperative partnerships.
