Description: Kids' Korner Child Development Center, a five-star family-owned preschool, has been successfully operating since 1984 in Kannapolis, North Carolina. The center was first located on Charles Street. When the center began to grow, a new building emerged at its current location on Cook Street in 1998. Then in 2004, we built a 6,000 square foot gymnasium for our before and after school program, Kids Next Door.
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.
