School Notes
- Welcome to your Metro Drive KinderCare! Our Nationally Accredited
Center is located across from the Fox River Mall and next to Vande
Walle's Candies. We are proud to say that our dedicated and
passionate teachers have over 105 years of experience in the Early
Childhood field. You and your children are going to love our
stimulating classrooms; they are bright, open, and welcoming. We
provide a safe, secure, and stimulating environment for your
children. KinderCare Metro is not the average daycare, with
teachers adding that extra personal touch that will make your child
feel special every day. We look forward to meeting you and your
child. Please inquire about coming in for a free trail day.
- Food and Nutrition: Each day, we help nourish your child's growing mind and body by providing nutritious, tasty meals and snacks. Our center offer a variety of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins- including calcium-rich foods. Security: Keeping your child safe and secure is our first priority. In addition to the built-in security features of our center, we strictly follow established procedures for your child's arrival and departure. Positive Guidance: Part of what children are learning in their early years is how to get along with others and what behaviors are appropriate in different situations. My teachers take a proactive and preventive approach to guidance that reinforces appropriate behaviors rather than focusing on inappropriate behaviors. To do this, our teachers are trained to use various techniques including redirection, praise, and distraction.

This is hurting the center's enrollments)
