Description: Carebear Preschool was founded in 2002 by Carrie Kuhns, who is a certified teacher. We are dedicated to providing innovative, quality education services that support and contribute to the success and wellbeing of our children and their families. We are committed to encouraging learning through fun, skill-based activities for children 2 to 5 years of age.
Our qualified, talented teachers structure daily activities designed for each child to learn at his or her own pace. Our teachers serve as examples to the children, who learn as much by observing others as they do by direct instruction. The teaching staff acts as a group of facilitators rather than directors of activities.
It is our daily mission to offer children an enriching experience that enhances their cognitive, social, emotional, physical, language, and creative development. It is our goal to give each child a strong, secure foundation on which to begin his or her educational journey.
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.
