Description: Welcome to the Brookhaven KinderCare. We are excited to build a relationship with you and your family. At KinderCare, we are committed to providing programs that develop the whole child while viewing children as unique and important individuals.

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.
