School Notes
- Welcome to East W.T. Harris KinderCare in Charlotte North Carolina. We have an awesome staff at this KinderCare and we would love for your family to come and visit ours. We believe that early childhood education is very important and that the best way for a child to learn is to make it fun. We make it so much fun every day, that the children do not even realize they are learning math, science, reading, writing, social and emotional skills. There is no better place to leave your child than KinderCare.
- At KinderCare the health and safety of your children is one of our top priorities. All outside doors are locked and monitored by ADT and the front door has a keypad entrance so only parents and staff can get inside. We have fire drills and tornado drills so the children know what to do. We also have evacuation plans in place to transport children to in case of an emergency. All staff members are CPR and First Aid certified. Anyone who works with Infant to two year-old's has been trained in SIDS.
