School Notes
- Welcome to the Ontelaunee KinderCare. Our program provides a rich, nurturing environment for your child's cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth. Here, learning is fun, children are respected, and our teachers work in partnership with families to challenge each child. Learning is meant to be a natural, joyful experience. Children learn by playing, experimenting, exploring and testing. Children flourish when the process of discovery is lovingly encouraged and gently reinforced. This is the philosophy behind our research-based curriculum, which fosters individual growth by providing plenty of opportunities for exploration and child-initiated choice.
- Ontelaunee KinderCare has an appointed Health and Safety Coordinator. The Coordinator and all other staff in the building has CPR and First Aid Certifications. Your child's safety and well-being are a priority. We have a keypad secure entrance.
