About Us
Your Child Is in Great Hands
Philosophy
At Kiddie Kollege, we understand that parents entrust their most precious possessions to us – their children. That’s why we seek to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where your child can grow and learn.
We believe that daycare and preschool should be fun and safe places for kids to explore and grow. We provide a structured environment with lots of activities and materials to help promote learning. However, we also believe that play is an essential part of child development. Our classrooms are filled with toys and materials to encourage exploration and creativity. In addition to our academic program, we also seek to provide your child with the guidance and direction of biblical and moral values and ethics. We believe that daycare and preschool should be loving places where family values are instilled in our young ones.
Christian Childcare
Each class hears Bible stories and sings songs of God's love and His Son, Jesus. Prayer is a vital part of our ministry, and we believe it is important that children say a prayer of thanks to the Lord for their meals and snacks.
Our daycare and preschool programs are designed to help your child develop physically, emotionally, socially, and academically. Our goal is to provide your child with the guidance and direction of biblical and moral values and ethics, so that they can grow into responsible and productive citizens. We believe that daycare and preschool should be a happy and safe place for your child to learn and grow. Our programs are designed to give your child the best possible start in life, and we are committed to providing a loving and nurturing environment for all of our students.
Rooms
Little Lambs
Little Lambs is a childcare and preschool program designed for children aged 2. The program focuses on helping children learn basic colors and shapes, as well as developing socializing skills and communication. In addition, the program teaches obedience in a group setting and helps children learn to sit still for short periods of time. By providing a nurturing and stimulating environment, Little Lambs gives children a strong foundation on which to build their future education.
Teddy Bears
The Teddy Bears class is for our 3 year olds. In this class, students will learn the alphabet, colors, and numbers up to 20. They will also learn the letters in their names. Of course, an important part of preschool is learning to share and play together, and the Teddy Bears are no exception! We encourage them to be gentle with each other and to take turns. The Teddy Bears are a very active group and love to explore childcare and education with their friends.
Honey Horses
The Honey Horses class at our childcare center is focused on the 4 and 5-year-olds getting ready for kindergarten. We utilize Zoo-phonics, a unique and effective method of teaching phonics and word recognition, to help your child learn the building blocks of reading. In addition, we work on numbers over 20 and writing proficiency, so that your child will be ready for whatever kindergarten throws their way.
Programs
Fun & Creativity
Art
Art is important for growing children. It helps them develop their creativity and imagination. It also teaches them about different cultures and different ways of thinking.
Music
Music can help children express themselves in more creative ways. By exposing them to different sounds and rhythms, they are able to develop their own creativity.
Movement
Growth is a process that requires children to get moving! Kiddie Kollege lets kids engage in activities like running, climbing, and jumping that's helping them build strength, coordination, and bone density.
Zoo-phonics
Kiddie Kollege uses Zoo-phonics®, a Multisensory Language Arts Program that is a kinesthetic, multi-modal approach to learning all aspects of language arts, including vocabulary development and articulation, based on phonics and phonemic awareness.
Mathematics
Our classes help kids to learn basic math skills quickly. The program helps kids get introduced to and begin learning addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Outside Play
It's important for children to have plenty of activity and exercise to be healthy! Kiddie Kollege encourages outside play each day as a great way for them to burn off energy and get some fresh air.
