About the Provider

Description: This program is designed to provide the opportunities for children to build self esteem, self confidence, and positive relationships. Our goal is to provide all of the children in our care with a clean, safe, comfortable, loving environment where they can play and learn. Our approach to teaching can be described as a sharing of knowledge between child and an adult, in a hands-on, child-directed atmosphere. Kidz Korner provides a high quality early childhood program where the children are active learners in both a structured and unstructured setting. The teachers develop learning experiences and ask questions that encourage children to think and problem solve. They nurture and develop the social, emotional, physical and intellectual stages of each child.

So I was supposedly going to the center for an interview. The interview was just coverage. I don't even know who they can count me as ratio when I don't work there. I asked the assistant in the prek room jow many children she had on the room that were napping, she said 8 When she actually had 13 in the room. How was I being interviews in a class full of sleeping children and how the heck can they ha e a stranger with your children??

Whatever you do please think twice about sending your child to this center, my child was given unlabeled bottles (that we're not his), the heat was turned off two different times, both in the middle of winter, parents were never notified. I spoke with owner about my concerns and she proceeded to kick my child out after being there a year!! For all parents and families this center is not where you want your children.
