School Notes
- Welcome to Wellington Way KinderCare in Lexington, Kentucky. We are very excited to meet with you and your family. We believe in developing the whole child with an emphasis on assisting your child's growth with their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. We are located across from the Stonewall Shopping Center and in between Nicholasville Road and Harrodsburg. The nearest crossroad is Wellington Way and Clays Mill. Here at Wellington Way KinderCare we are child centered in our Infant program, to our Preschool program, all the way to our School Age program. We believe in helping all of our children gain more self-esteem and feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundation programs enhance that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children develop early literacy, mathematics, science, and social skills. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active, too.
- At KinderCare Learning Centers, your child's safety is one of our top priorities. Not only are all of our outside perimeter doors locked to ensure security, but all of our playgrounds are fenced with locked gates as well. In addition the front door of the building has a coded entry where only authorized family members will have a code to enter. Otherwise a doorbell is available to visitors who will be greeted by a Center staff member. We conduct monthly earthquake and fire drills. Also, the majority of staff is CPR and First Aid certified and we maintain high cleanliness standards.
