Description: Our Philosophy at Kinder College is to provide a "Home Away from Home" that respects the child's family and reinforces the importance of the parent-child relationships.
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.
