Kids
Town Child Development Center is a childcare facility
specializing in serving the full and part-time needs of children
ages 6 weeks through 5 years. We provide the structure and education
critical in preparing children for a lifelong learning experience.
Rather than having one large room where children can spend their
time however they want, we have designed our center to house six
clubhouses and separate "buildings" where children play,
explore, and learn about the world around them in a healthy, safe,
and nurturing environment.
Kids
Town enhances the excitement of learning and play to
create a nurturing environment by providing lower than state required
ratios for the number of teacher:students per clubhouse and follows
the National Association
for the Education of Young Children accreditation
guidelines.

Town has video cameras located throughout the center.
The closed-circuit cameras are monitored in the administrator's
office. Parents are welcome to stop in and observe at any time.
For the added protection of the children, the building can only
be accessed by scanning a personal I.D. card or electronically
by the staff.
The
children's day begins in one of our six clubhouses painted with
beautiful wall murals:
- The
Airport
- Beach
- Dock
- Mountains
- Train
Station
- Zoo

This
is the children's home base throughout their day, where their
personal items are stored, and later, they enjoy rest and relaxation
time. For younger children, diaper changing and potty-training
facilities are located here for convenience.

expression is a wonderful outlet for a child. The children

by a 6-foot privacy fence, the Park has a riding track with
cars and trucks, playhouses, slides, tunnels, climbing apparatus,
and Harry the Hippopotamus. A large canopy shades child-size
picnic tables.
Our

as part of their science curriculum. |
