School Notes
- Welcome to the St. Charles KinderCare. 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. Our experts
designed our classrooms, and every activity and lesson, to help
prepare your child for success in school and beyond. Conveniently
locatedin the heart of St. Charles next tothe Zumbehl
Commons Shopping Plaza, our classrooms feature a print-rich
environment full of carefully selected materials to help your child
connect spoken words and print and develop early literacy and
writing skills. We believe it takes a village to raise a child, and
our parents consider us an extension of their families (their
village). Your child will not only have a safe, secure and
stimulating environment to learn in, but will have support from a
team of child development experts who have a true passion for
educating and nurturing children.

the building requiring keypad entry. All of our playgrounds are
