The teachers at the Baumgartner KinderCare are what set us apart from anywhere else.
We are very passionate about teaching and caring for each and every child that walks through our doors.
Communication is key for us to be your child’s home away from home.
We have ongoing conversations daily, Parent-Teacher conferences 3 times a year, on-going assessments of your child’s development and a daily sheet to take home that captures the highlights of each day.
KinderCare offers continuing education at our Professional Development Day, two times per year, that focuses on the latest techniques in Early Childhood Education.
Our teachers take pride in making each day designed for learning.
