Description: Our Center started as a ministry of the Kinderhook EC Church in 2002. On August 26, 2013 we moved to our current location. All children are welcome regardless of race, color, religious creed, disability, LEP, ancestry, national origin, or sex. We provide a well-rounded program of both secular and religious activities for your child to participate in. Activities are based on the Pennsylvania Learning Standards, and are individualized to meet the needs of each child.
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.
