Description: At Kids First, we are your partners in child care. We provide a safe, nurturing atmosphere incorporating guided play along with creative learning experiences to promote the acquisition and expansion of language, through speaking and listening, story-telling and recording. We understand that every child is unique and brings to the program his/her own personal set of experiences, beliefs and values formed by his/her particular family. Each child comes to us with special interests and acquired skills. We are committed to developing a program which supports and enhances the individuality of your child and your family, providing positive and varied learning experiences.
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.

My child was injured on 11/09/2020 by a worker pulling him by his hand/wrist SO hard she caused musculoskeletal injuries! It’s now 5 days later and he is still unable to sleep on his left side due to her actions; and she still has a job here! It’s on video and all!
Given all of the past violations, and the excuses they are making for this worker injuring my two year old, I am SHOCKED this place is still allowed to be open!
