School Notes
- Welcome to your McKellips KinderCare Learning Center. 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.
At your McKellips KinderCare, our teachers take great pride in being a part of your children's development and growth and becoming a part of your family. We will provide your child a safe, secure and stimulating environment to learn and grow in.
Marie Weller - School Director - 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 safety, but all of our playgrounds are fenced with locked gates as well. In addition, the front door of the building has a coded entry to allow only our families to have access to our school. Otherwise, a door bell is available for visitors, who will then be greeted by a member of our KinderCare team. In addition to building safety, we also ensure that our teachers are equipped with the knowledge needed to keep your children safe. Each of our teachers at your McKellips KinderCare are First Aid and CPR Certified. We also hold monthly trainings to keep our teachers up to date on evacuation safety (fire drills), and health and cleanliness standards (proper hand washing and sanitation procedures).
