City Centre KinderCare

The teachers and staff at City Centre KinderCare are passionate about educating and nurturing children.
We provide children with many opportunities in the self-discovery process and challenge them to use critical-thinking skills in their learning environment.
Our teachers are mindful of learning environments as they carefully arrange their classrooms to promote respect, creativity and joy! Our team strives for excellence through continuing education from biannual company professional development trainings as well as other educational seminars.
All of our teachers have one common interest, teaching children.
The success of our teachers is measured by the success of our children and their love for learning.
As each child and family become a part of our KinderCare family, we are inspired just as equally, each day!.
