About the Provider
At Kiddie Kampus Learning Center we believe a safe, secure and stimulating environment lets children explore and mature at their own pace. We bring together a positive, happy setting with professional staff who facilitate and challenge our children to learn by doing. A child’s whole development – social, emotional and physical --- is nurtured as we move throughout our day.
Our age groups follow developmental milestones starting with our infant program. Our professionally-staffed infant care program provides the special care required for our youngest children beginning at six weeks. Families appreciate our dedicated and sensitive approach to the needs of their infants as they follow their natural routines of napping and mealtimes. A colorful and cheerful environment provides our infants the stimulation they need for this earliest growth.
Our age groups continue through to our Woddler, Toddler, Nursery School, PreK and “Graduates,” who are our before/after school and summer vacation friends. A variety of activities and themes engage and prepare our preschoolers and graduates as they continue to develop their skills and confidence. Enrichment activities and curriculum are designed for all age groups and include creative music and movement, a hands-on science program and computer skills.
Our modern facility was designed and built with the developmental needs of young children in mind. Sunny windows, sizable colorful classrooms furnished for each specific age group and wonderful playspaces for our friends to climb and move both indoors and outdoors provide a fun and safe environment.
Parent Communication is key to us. Kiddie Kampus provides daily snapshot reports for the parents of our youngest children. Newsletters, conferences and an open door policy ensure we are maintaining the communication necessary to a child’s successful day.
