Description: Thank you for your interest in Center Grove KinderCare. We know what at challenge it can be to find quality early childhood education for your child(ren). Here at KinderCare we offer a variety of programs to meet the needs of children as young as six weeks and as old as 12 years. Our Education Department utilizes the latest brain research and development when establishing our curriculum. This ensures that we are teaching your child with the latest in brain research technology in mind. Each age group has specific needs and our curriculum is made for those needs. For example, our Preschool 3 Classroom is preparing children for Kindergarten. They work on letter recognition, writing, simple math skills as well as positive social interaction. However, our Toddlers have a much higher need to be safe, from themselves as well as the outside world, so their day is largely spent mastering social skills and “appropriate behavior”. One thing that makes us unique is our attention to the whole family. We have an open door policy for parents that are enrolled here. We encourage parents to come in unexpectedly to visit as well as come to our many family centered functions. For the safety of the children, we have a coded door that limits access to those parents that do not have children enrolled. In our ongoing effort to meet each family’s needs, we offer three curricular programs. Our Core Curriculum is developing the five learning domains. The Enhanced Curriculum adds in three weekly small group (three students) sessions that develop strong literacy skills. The Excelled Curriculum is our most comprehensive program, incorporating the features of the Core, the Enhanced and adds in three weekly small group (three students) sessions to develop strong mathematical skills. We would LOVE to show you our school and help you and your child become a part of our community!
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.
