School Notes
- Welcome to the KinderCare Learning Center located on Pump Road. We take great pride in teaching and watching each and every child learn and grow with us. We offer an excellent literacy-based education curriculum as well as many extra enrichment programs. With designated learning centers such as dramatic play and blocks in every classroom, children have the opportunity for rich social play and child-initiated discovery. Everything we do is designed with purpose and opportunity to teach skills that serve as building blocks for a lifetime of learning. So, whether your child has first words or first grade on the horizon, we’re excited to show you how everything in our center is designed for learning!
- We provide a safe and nurturing “home away from home” learning environment. Health and safety is just as important to us as it is to our families. Safety starts right at the front door with keypad entry and individual family codes for signing in and out each day. We take every measure to make sure our children are protected and cared for at all times. Our teachers are trained frequently on proper safety techniques from CPR and First Aid to proper food handling. We follow state licensing guidelines for safety inside and outside of our center.
