AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED

We’re so proud!

Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.

SCHOOL-READY

What Learning Looks Like

Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.

North Troy KinderCare Programs

Infant Programs (6 weeks-1 year)

Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.

Toddler Programs (1-2 Years)

Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.

Discovery Preschool Programs (2-3 Years)

This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.

Preschool Programs (3-4 Years)

This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!

Prekindergarten Programs (4-5 Years)

When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.

Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program

Cooking Academy™ (3-12 Years)

In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!

Music Explorers™ (2-4 Years)

KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.

Phonics Adventures® (2-4 Years)

Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)

Spanish

Spanish Adventures provides young learners with a foundation for later success with
the Spanish language. Music, games, children’s Spanish literature, and other tools give
children multiple opportunities to hear, practice, and see Spanish language to develop
vocabulary and conversation skills. Curriculum includes lessons on greetings, numbers,
colors, animals, family, body parts, and pets, as well as how to engage conversationally
during common scenarios at home, a restaurant, or at the zoo.

STEM Innovators (3-8 Years)

You’ve probably heard a lot about how important STEM education is for your child, but
what does that really mean? Our STEM Innovators program takes kids’ natural ability to
make sense of the world and applies it to robotics, chemistry, coding, geology, and
more. While your child experiments, they’ll discover how to use technology to do
amazing things!

Our Teachers

We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.

Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!

A KINDERCARE TEACHER WITH

An Artist’s Heart

“My classroom is full of art!” says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.

We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We’re so proud to have been named one of Gallup’s 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award.
When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience
an amazing place to learn and grow.

Family Stories

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!

• Danielle is a phenomenal teacher at KinderCare Learning Center in Troy, Michigan. I have known Danielle for the past five years. She has served as a teacher for both of my children in the infant room. Danielle is the reason we enrolled our children at KinderCare. We were truly impressed with the environment she creates in her classroom and the nurturing care she offers to each of her infants. Danielle goes out of her way to welcome each family and to provide excellent communication with each family that she works with. She goes above and beyond the expectations to ensure that each child has a positive, loving, and educational experience in her care. She also does an excellent job communicating with the other teachers in her classroom to ensure that each teacher offers the level of care necessary to meet the individual needs of each child. Both of my children had a wonderful experience in her classroom. Danielle still keeps an eye out for my children in their other classrooms and communicates with me as to how they are doing. She also serves as a caregiver in our home. We consider her to be part of our family. At one point, we enrolled our children in a center near our home in Oxford, Michigan. We just weren’t quite happy with this center. As a result, we came back to KinderCare. Danielle and the rest of the staff at KinderCare is the reason we came back. Our children have thrived in the care and guidance of their teachers at KinderCare. I would strongly recommend that you tour the facility and meet with the staff at this KinderCare Learning Center.

Russian Toy Terrier – “Troy, bringing joy)) (photos)”

Hello everyone, along with other reviews about g / w Russian toys, I want to leave my review with a “+” sign about my toychik on nicknamed Troy and share some of the nuances.

It all started when my co-worker wanted to adopt a Pomeranian for her son and I decided to help her by looking for offers on the Internet regarding dogs in our city. I found one ad about Spitz, but my employee immediately changed her mind, but I noticed an ad with pictures of Russian Toy puppies and fell in love with them. We must pay tribute to the photographer, in the photographs the puppies were in such a perspective that it was impossible not to fall in love with them.

First I phoned the breeder, she told me that yes, how. I want to say that in childhood, living in a house with a garden, we had dogs, but they lived there in the garden, and I had no experience of coexisting with a dog in an apartment, so I decided that I had zero knowledge and approached the issue as an absolute beginner. I should note that this puppy already lived in a family with owners, but they could not take him out due to the complicated scheme of importing dogs to the UAE, and now they wanted to sell him. And for this reason, he was not given a second vaccination, because of which he continued to be in quarantine and it was impossible to take him out into the street. Despite the fact that the puppy was born at the end of May, at the time of the transfer it was already September to me, and the dog still did not see the street. At the end of the quarantine, I walked him, but I live alone and spend most of the day at work, so at first all my going to work was accompanied by dog ​​crying, since my neighbors are also absent during the day, so there were no complaints, but I myself felt sorry for him. Troy got used to the diaper in 2 weeks, of course there were misses, but he understood the very idea of ​​​​pissing on the diaper and later the misses disappeared. Over time, he stopped crying when I left for work. Moreover, when I left, he began to play with the toy, showing me that everything was fine, and he was no longer sad.

But, he categorically does not tolerate animals – dogs, cats, birds, maybe this is due to his prolonged quarantine and daytime alone, plus post-quarantine came at the end of autumn-winter, when you don’t really go out. I look with envy at other dogs playing among themselves, and Troy, at the mere sight of a dog, begins to bark and tries to attack, since he is always on a leash, otherwise he will want to attack the Alabai)) True, I walked with him in cold weather so that he gets used to the street.

My boy has a weak stomach, once I fed him boiled liver, so he got diarrhea and he got sick so much that I had to call the veterinarian at home. I feed him only Royal Canin dry food and all my attempts to feed him natural ended either with indigestion, or with allergies and itching in the ears. Now I don’t experiment anymore. He gets bored with one type of food, so I switch from Royal Canin Mini Adult to Royal Canin Digestive Care from time to time.

Regarding the very nature of this breed, I have nothing bad to say. Of course they are hyperactive, but this is to be expected, so hourly walks are a must; of course they like to nibble, so I bought all sorts of chewing bones; typical “tails” even when I swim, he lies on the rug by the bath and waits for me to step on the rug to lick a drop of water from my foot)). She loves children, constantly trying to play with children on the street.

Very smart, knows the names of all his toys, when I say bring the ball he brings the ball, and when the chicken – he brings the chicken, etc. Distinguishes the tone of my voice, when I say something in a normal tone, he may not obey, but when in a strict voice, he immediately does everything. When he wants my attention, he throws a chewing bone under the sofa, and then he calls me and shows with his paw that there is something under the sofa. He easily learned to “sit”, “lie down”, “eat”, during a walk he understands everything that is needed “let’s go, here, wait, nearby”, and his look is so smart, smart.

Bathes well, not exactly adores, but does not resist. Likes massage and combing. He sleeps with me, although he changes places during the night, then in the bathroom he will warm himself on the warm floor, then in the cool room, then to my bed.
