Westover Lane KinderCare

When parents ask what sets us apart from our competition, my answer is always the teachers.
Choosing a school for your child is an incredibly important decision and in choosing teachers, my thoughts always go to what I would want as a parent.
Our teachers have an incredible balance between the care giving role and that of an educator.
This school becomes a second home for many children, and the teaching team becomes a second family.
We pride ourselves on our relationships and knowing the importance of our roles in each child's life.
