Description: Welcome to Kochenderfer Christian Day Care (KCDC). KCDC is a state licensed, not-for-profit, childcare facility. The center was established in 1997 to meet the growing need for quality child care, as well as to serve as an outreach to members of Kochenderfer’s congregation and members of the community. We offer care and early education for children ages 6 weeks through 5th grade. Children are grouped by age in each room. During the summer months we offer a Summer Camp program for children who have completed Kindergarten through 5th grade. We are open from 6 AM until 6 PM and maintain an open door policy for parents. We are currently licensed by the Department of Public Welfare and are a star 4 facility in the Keystone STARS program.
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.
