School Notes

  • School Motto: IT’S MORE THAN DAYCARE, IT’S KINDERCARE!
  • Our teachers and staff are proud to welcome you to Stockton KinderCare, where our warm environment fosters learning and creativity in a family atmosphere. Our goal is a safe, inviting space for your child to grow on all levels: socially, emotionally, intellectually, cognitively and physically.
    Our center focuses on the overall development of your child, from our Discovery Preschool—fostering social learning, such as language use and sharing, to our Prekindergarten program—focusing on kindergarten skills, beginners Spanish and outside physical activities, and even our School Age program, which offers a safe environment for completing homework and subject specific learning activities for older children. We feel our classrooms are an extension of the home where children love to learn through play and exploration and look forward to their experience every day. This supportive environment allows children to feel open to learning and furthering their development.
    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!
  • In addition to learning, your child's safety is our top priority. Our center has one entrance with a secured front door, including entry only by key code. Our playgrounds are age-appropriate and all gates are padlocked and alarmed. Our Health & Safety Coordinators, Ms. Cindy and Ms. Denise, check our playgrounds every morning to ensure the playgrounds are free of potentially harmful items and that all gates are locked and secured. Additionally, all of our staff and teachers are CPR certified and we have First Aid certified staff on-site, as well.
