Our Philosophy
Welcome to Your Child's First Classroom®
Now more than ever, researchers are confirming what we at KinderCare have known
for years—children do their most important learning before the age of five. That's
why, in addition to lots of love and attention, everything we do at KinderCare involves
early childhood development.
We begin with age-appropriate environments that encourage children to learn, play,
and explore. Books and blocks. Puppets and paper. Toys and tambourines. You name
it. There are sticks for counting, seeds for planting, and places for exploring.
If you're a young child, you'll find an endless assortment of activities that engage
your interest and stimulate your mind. KinderCare—where your child will learn,
play, and explore.
KinderCare Hands-on Experiences
Most importantly, at the heart of every project
and activity, there's a specially trained teacher and an age-appropriate curriculum
to lead the way. Because children learn differently than adults, they need hands-on
experiences and get-on-the-floor teachers. They need warmth and attention. They
need enthusiasm and encouragement. Most of all, they need the joy and challenge
of doing it themselves. Because that's what helps children learn and grow, and that's
our mission at KinderCare.
A Learning Environment for the Whole Child
KinderCare's exclusive educational programs provide unlimited opportunities for
the development of the whole child. There's a unique curriculum for every age level,
centered around developmentally appropriate and fun activities that help children
develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
In the classroom and on the playground, age-appropriate concepts are integrated
into all aspects of play. Sometimes it's through a game. Another time it's through
a song. Other times it's through exploration in our Discovery Areas. By providing
children with activities that match their developmental needs and abilities, learning
occurs easily and naturally.
KinderCare's quality educational programs comprise:
- Well-trained, caring teachers
- A safe and developmentally sound environment
- Comprehensive curricula based on age-appropriate learning activities
We have programs for every age level including infants, toddlers, preschoolers,
kindergartners, and school-agers. If you look closely, you'll find that every activity,
every procedure—even every toy—is designed to support the development and well-being
of your child.

NAEYC Accreditation—Today, over 800 KinderCare Learning centers
are fully accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children
(NAEYC). Though NAEYC accreditation is an involved and time-consuming process, we
believe it offers important assurance to parents who are making one of the most
important decisions in their children's lives. Visit the
NAEYC website to learn more about the accreditation process, and to find
out what NAEYC accreditation can mean for your child.
If you are ever dissatisfied with your child's experience at KinderCare—for any
reason—let us know immediately. We encourage you to speak with your Center Director,
