As a former employee I can truthfully say that choosing Kozy Kids for your child's care is one of the best decisions you will ever make. From the physical environment, to the teachers, and even to the food served to the children everything about this school is amazing.
The school itself is beautiful. The owner and director, Diana, is fully committed to making sure that Kozy Kids is the best place possible for children to spend their day. The classrooms are spacious and provide areas for the kids to engage in any type of play they would like. The teachers work hard to plan activities utilizing emergent curriculum where children learn organically through their play. Kids are encouraged to follow their passions and figure out their own talents and abilities and teachers help them to foster those interests.
The teachers at this school are actually passionate about what they do. This isn't "just a job" to them. This is not always the case at other places I have worked. That difference in attitude makes all the difference in the quality of care kids receive. The children are not there just to be watched. They are in a wonderfully enriching environment where the teachers are making an impact in their early days that will have lasting effects throughout the rest of their lives.
The emergent curriculum and loving environment help to show children that learning is fun and if you're curious about something you have the ability to find out more about it. Daily yoga helps foster focus and a healthy mind-body connection that is beneficial for all ages. Healthy food choices provide a platform for greater learning - if their bodies are nourished it's easier and more enjoyable to learn.
Kozy Kids has a huge focus in empathy and kindness. The children are taught from the very beginning to be kind to themselves and to one another. This emphasis can especially be seen in the preschool classroom where the kids are able to solve their own problems or conflicts - often without the interference of adults. Because they know kindness is important they are able to process conflict in a very healthy manner. They are able to see things from the other point of view, helping them constructively come up with a solution. The teachers are there for guidance, of course, but oftentimes the children are able to resolve things on their own. This is definitely not the case at other schools that do not put kindness and empathy at the forefront of their teachings. The difference in the atmospheres between Kozy Kids and other places I have worked is astounding in this aspect especially.
I hope this review has been helpful to you in your search for the best care for your child. I cannot even begin to express how happy you will be with your choice if you pick Kozy Kids!
