Childcare | Turnstone

Dr. Robert Kimbrough Early Learning Center

The Kimbrough Early Learning Center (KELC) at Turnstone is a full-day inclusive childcare program that considers the unique physical, developmental, and social needs of children of all abilities. KELC opened in 2005 as one of northeast Indiana’s first early-education programs that welcome children with or without disabilities in an inclusive environment where kids of all abilities can learn and grow together—physically, emotionally, and socially.

Service Details

The KELC is for children of all abilities, ages 2 to 5. The inclusive childcare program operates Monday through Friday from 7:00am-5:15pm and offers full-time and part-time care.

Education & Curriculum

Turnstone’s educational program uses HighScope curriculum and maintains a Level 3 Paths to QUALITY rating, which means the program has hands-on learning activities, a licensed safety CPR & First Aid certified staff, and a planned curriculum.

Childcare Fees & Assistance

Turnstone’s childcare fees reflect market rates for licensed childcare programs in our area. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are included at no additional cost. Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) child care vouchers are also accepted. If your child has a diagnosed disability, and the weekly rate is outside your budget, you may apply for tuition assistance.

Socialization & Learning

During the day children enjoy socialization with their peers and learn skill development and school readiness through planned curriculum and experiential opportunities.

Facility & Ammenities

Children in KELC spend time on Turnstone’s accessible playground (created by Grounds for Play), and also have supervised access to Turnstone’s warm water therapy pool. Children who qualify also have access to Turnstone’s therapy services while attending the learning center.

“Having participated in almost every program available to her from physical, speech, and occupational therapies, to attending the Kimbrough Early Learning Center for childcare. ..and, 11 years later, Mallory is now an adventurous eater and active pre-teen with an expressive personality to match.”
