Description: Preschool is your child’s first introduction to a lifetime of learning and experiences. At Kids & Company, we understand the importance of these early years, and how difficult it can be to choose a quality childcare facility. At our schools, you will find experienced and educated teachers who care, classrooms that are fully equipped and exciting learning opportunities. We welcome you to our Kids & Company family, and ensure that your child will be nurtured and loved throughout the day.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
