Description: Childhood memories. We are making them at the Kendallville Day Care Center. Childhood is a time for creativity, for imagination, and for discovery. It’s a time for knowing that it’s okay to make mistakes, that’s how we learn. As adults, we reflect on our childhood with great fondness. We remember the wonder of novelty, and cherish how life seemed a safe and simpler place. Every child deserves the opportunity to develop their individual potential. For over 35 years of service to families within the community, the Kendallville Day Care Center has devoted efforts to giving children opportunities to develop skills needed to face life’s challengers. Our mission is to provide the highest quality, not for profit, state licensed child care at the lowest possible cost to you.
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.
