Cranberry KinderCare Photo #3 - Our older infant classroom is for our mobile infants. This larger, least restrictive room allows our older infants the freedom to move every part of their body, whenever he/she desires, as he works towards all those critical milestones. Our teachers work with the older infants on crawling, standing, walking, etc. They sing, read, and constantly talk to their babies.
Cranberry KinderCare Photo #4 - Infants need a safe, secure, "home away from home" where they can learn, play, and grow. Our younger infant room is designed as a smaller space to allow our younger and non-mobile infants to have that close and nurturing environment. Our teachers talk, sing, and read to our youngest infants to ensure the best start in educational life.

School Notes

  • Welcome to our center located in Cranberry Township. Our education experts designed our classrooms — and every activity and lesson — to help prepare your child for success in school and beyond. With designated learning centers such as dramatic play, blocks, art, writing, library, and math/science in every classroom, children have the opportunity for rich learning, social play, and child-initiated discovery.
    You’ll also find that our classrooms feature a print-rich environment full of carefully selected materials, written charts and labels, and children’s literature. By helping your child connect spoken words and print, we’redeveloping early literacy and writing skills.
    Our education department has consulted with leading early childhood experts to insure that our curricula are developmentally appropriate and meet all the learning domains. Our newly refreshed curricula align with the Common Core and are crosswalked with the PA Early Learning Standards.
    Recent research conducted in MD and FL has shown that children who attended KinderCare were better prepared and more successful in kindergarten than their peers that did not attend a KinderCare. Similar research is currently being conducted in partnership with the PA Department of Education and we look forward to those results.
