Our Programs
Welcome to Kidz Korner Daycare & Kidz Zone AfterSchool Program! We are so much more than a place where you drop your children off. In fact, our mission is to give each child a unique learning experience so that they are able to develop their curiosity, imagination, independence, and resourcefulness in a safe and nurturing environment. We believe that early childhood education is very important to each child’s future. That’s why we make sure the children receive a curriculum that’s structured yet filled with play and makes learning fun. Kidz Korner Daycare & Kidz Zone AfterSchool Program promises to make every effort to exceed your expectations for your child both academically and socially. You’ll also find that we take the time to build trusting relationships with each child and family.
Infants
The Infant program focuses on various aspects of learning such as nonverbal communication, gross motor skills, and socialization. It’s our goal to give your baby an excellent place to thrive and grow.
Our Toddler program helps to promote independence and develop each child’s unique character. We make sure to create an engaging world where your toddler can learn and explore.
Our Preschool program gives children the opportunity to explore their environment, learn new skills, and begin to develop friendships with their classmates. Your child will become inspired and ready for school.
Our Summer Camp session has been designed by experts who care about creating a respectful and nurturing environment for children. Your child can look forward to age-appropriate fun, friendships, and exploration.
Our After School program is perfect for parents who work late and provides kids with a structured environment where they can socialize and play. Your child will enjoy a snack, get help with homework, play activities and more.
You can think of Kidz Korner Daycare & Kidz Zone AfterSchool Program as your one-stop location for early childhood education and care. While some parents might drop off an infant at one location and an older child at another location, you can drop off both here. We welcome both infants and young children. You can have peace of mind knowing that your children are in very good hands. Here are three additional benefits of choosing us:
Safe Environment
Your child’s safety and well-being here is our top priority. This includes frequent cleaning and sanitizing in order to follow COVID-19 precautions.
Stimulating & Fun
It is our goal to make learning fun for all the children. We make sure our daily schedule is full of different activities that the children can look forward to.
Qualified Teachers
We are very selective with who we hire to be part of our team. All of our teachers are CPR and First Aid certified and also receive ongoing professional development.
