To help your family with this choice we would love to have you meet our teachers, see our classrooms and learn more about our center and programs. We look forward to meeting your family and introducing you to ours.
- To protect the health and safety of the children our entire teaching staff is trained in CPR and First Aid. We also require our teachers to better themselves through on-going education courses as well as closing our doors twice a year for training days in which all of our surrounding KinderCare centers come together for a day of learning. Our security is set up with keypad lock on each classroom door to keep the children safe and secure. We also require I.D. from those other than mom and dad for child pick-up.
