About the Provider
Welcome to KinderCare at Cary Towne! We are located in Cary, North Carolina on Maynard Road with access to I 40 East and West. Our center provides quality childcare to children beginning at the age of six weeks and continuing to 12 years. Our center has been an accredited childcare center for the past three years, being recognized by NAC. Accreditation is awarded to centers who consistently perform above minimum childcare licensing requirements, and we take great pride in offering outstanding childcare to the families we serve. We have six classrooms, allowing us to meet the needs of the children in our care through quality curriculum that is designed to focus on what we do best: helping your child learn through play. Our curriculum is carefully thought out and planned through our Education Department to allow both teacher directed and child directed activities throughout the day. Our center provides well balanced nutritional meals daily. We have a four week rotating menu, providing a variety of healthy meals to the children. We serve breakfast, lunch, and two afternoon snacks. We have two large playgrounds, all fenced with an easement between the center and surrounding neighborhood. Each playground is designed and developmentally appropriate to encourage large motor development and outdoor play. We welcome you to come see for yourself, and hope to see you soon!
