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.

KidStop Child Development Ctr. 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.

Transitional Kindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)

If your child finished pre-K but missed the kindergarten cutoff date, transitional
kindergarten is a great stepping stone to big-kid school. Our project-based
learning model emphasizes critical thinking, communication, and creativity.
Kids take lead roles on projects and complete them in small groups.

Participating Child Care Aware Center

KinderCare partners with Child Care Aware® of America to offer fee assistance for
Active Duty military families and flexible support to fit their needs when care at a Child
Development Center on the installation is not available.

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.)

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

What accreditations does KinderCare have?

We are your trusted caregiver. Our centers are state-licensed and regularly inspected to make sure
everything meets or exceeds standards, including child-to-teacher ratios and safe facilities. Our

Are meals included in tuition? Can I choose to send my child with lunch?

We provide nutritious meals and snacks developed by a registered dietician to meet the needs of rapidly growing
bodies and minds. If your child has special dietary requirements and you would prefer to bring in
their lunch, please make arrangements with the center director.

learning, we’ll provide diaper changes on an as-needed basis. When your child shows an interest,
we’ll discuss how to work
together to encourage toilet learning.

Child care is one of the biggest priorities—and expenses—for hardworking families like yours. We partner with state and local agencies in Maryland to provide tuition subsidies where we can, including the agency below:

• Maryland Department of Education Office of Child Care

There may be other available funding sources for families living in Rockville, Maryland and we have subsidy coordinators standing by that can discuss potential solutions for your family. Even if you are not subsidy eligible there may be other options in Montgomery County to help with tuition.

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.

Family Stories

• “

  As a newly enrolled widowed mother of one-year-old twin boys, I relocated to the area for a job transition. From the first phone call, KidStop assisted with my children’s transition, as well as my own. We found the teachers to be very nurturing and to take a personal interest in our little family, beyond what was expected. The teachers helped me bravely face parenting twins as a single mom and they helped me address challenges in the midst of my grief. In one of our first experiences with the center, the teachers helped me to feel confident and resourceful in teaching the boys to feed themselves. I remember fondly the day I left the center with tears of joy after I watched them accomplish new skills. Both of my boys have thrived at the center and they are happy, playful, and engaging. The staff is a very good about informing me of concerns or developing interest, while providing many opportunities for me-as a working parent-to feel engaged and participatory in my children’s care. I am quite thankful  that we found KidStop and we are a stronger family now because of their presence in our lives.

  Our daughter has been attending KidStop from the time she was nine months old and now she’s almost three. Stephanie is the best fit for the center. From the first day she started, she has been wonderful at communicating upcoming events, news and general information about what’s happening within the center. If we ever have questions or need anything, she is very prompt with answers through email, phone or in person. When we pick up our daughter in the evening, she always has to stop in the office and give Stephanie a hug goodbye, which shows that she pays extra attention to the children in the center and she is well liked by all. She has done an outstanding job and continues to do so every day.<br /> As far as the center itself goes, we have been beyond pleased with our experience. All of the teachers and staff that our daughter has had have been great. Our daughter continues to amaze us with what she learns while being at KidStop. Aside from the exceptional classroom activities, KidStop offers additional activities that are convenient and fun for the children. The center is patient and understanding when transitioning her to a new classroom when they feel she is ready. They make sure to continually provide educational and fun activities for all of the children. On many days we have trouble getting our daughter to come home and we think that says a lot about the time she spends there!<br /> Overall, we are very pleased with the care our daughter has received while at KidStop. We would definitely recommend KidStop to anyone looking for care in the area.

  KidStop has been an amazing and enriching experience for my daughter. The staff cares for the whole child, taking into account the emotional, physical, social, and educational needs of my daughter. There are so many things I love about KidStop. First, the hours of operation at KidStop fit our family’s needs. We have an early schedule and arrive to the center when it opens. The staff is always welcoming and in tune to my child’s needs early in the morning. The teachers and staff plan engaging activities for the children and welcome parents to visit the classroom. The curriculum, projects and units the teachers plan and implement are fun and offer an opportunity for the children to gain skills. The personal attention my daughter and all the children receive makes me feel like my daughter has a comfortable and positive place to learn and grow. Not only is the environment positive, but the teachers are always friendly and helpful; they consistently answer questions about my child’s daily routine and provides personal details and stories about her day. I love to see the projects my daughter makes which are often accompanied by a photo of her actually working on the activity. The classroom structure has encouraged my daughter’s independence and has provided wonderful opportunities for her to play and learn with other children her age. Finally, the leadership and directors at KidStop help support this environment by communicating clearly and frequently with parents; the directors are always willing to listen to your concerns and are greatly involved in the classroom curriculum and center activities. I love that the center directors always welcome my family and truly care about my child.

  My family has been a part of the KinderCare family since 2008. When we found out we were expecting our third child we had no reservations of where our baby was going for the best quality of care. We have been at two different KinderCare locations due to relocation and KidStop is our favorite location. The director, assistant director and staff are so personable, diligent and dedicated. I love the fact that Stephanie, the director, greets us every morning with biggest smile and happiest hellos. Also, it makes me feel safe and reassured that Sophia, the assistant director, knows all the families’ names and takes time to say goodbye to all the children. Another thing that personalizes KidStop is that I can always reach Stephanie and Sophie. KinderCare is the best choice for quality care, great teachers and peace of mind!

Dear players! The WoWCircle project team has been thinking about opening a server with recent additions to World of Warcraft for a long period of time, and after analyzing the current situation on the Battle For Azeroth servers in the CIS, as well as a number of surveys in the World of Warcraft thematic groups, they decided that what do we want from [url=?news=84]more…[/url]

Greetings to everyone who has been waiting for this news!

This winter, we, together with the leadership of WowCircle, will open a new game world and, perhaps, it’s time to talk about it in more detail.
We have been preparing for this for a long time and have done a lot of work on the x100 and FUN servers that are already working for us, so the new game world will definitely not be a disappointment, but for someone [url=?news=83]more. ..[/url]

Many players were waiting for the opening of the 3.3.5 x1 fresh on WoW Circle, but due to the opening of servers for other versions of the game and some other obstacles, we could not afford to open this game world earlier.
Now all the problems are fixed, the game worlds are open, and we are ready to announce a new game world based on Logon.

Last year, there were thoughts of opening a new lich realm, this was done, but on logon3, for a number of reasons, this was not crowned with success, although the beginning was optimistic, but oh well, let’s not remember the mistakes of others and events of bygone days.

Now we will talk about the opening of a new realm 3.3.5a on logon, with x2 rates:

“…I’ve been preparing for this for a long time, Danielle. Day after day, week after week, month after month, I was wasted, trying to find support in my difficult task – revenge on Lieutenant Biggs’ henchmen. At last the day of revenge had come, I, after giving out announcements to all my acquaintances in advance, was able to assemble a small group of people that, with the help of Joe, I was later able to raid the farm and kill all the enemies, and take the most henchman prisoner. sadly, we have solved one of the important problems of travelers of the northern roads and, most likely, attracted the attention of Biggs himself.I hope he will also want to take revenge.0003

At first, everything went smoothly: Bobby and Gurley, having formed the first group, went according to my plan to the stables, where they were to help our colleague undercover to remove a mule loaded with explosives. Remembering that he needed to give a signal, Gurley set fire to the stable, not having thought of anything better, and Bobby, having gone to cover the lady, fell into the hands of Biggs’ henchman, being captured … however, he did not stay there for long.

Having understood the signal, I, William and Everek went around the burning building and approached the house in which the bandits were sitting, guarding the farmer and my worst enemy – the first assistant Biggs. Not daring to take any action, we had a fight while the second group, consisting of Ishtar, Silas and Knight, attacked the barn, waiting for the sabotage of Joe’s henchmen. They took the enemy by surprise and even managed to save the farmer’s wife… in a way. We were able to deal with the enemies and take their leader alive. nine0003

When our six said that new forces were on the way, we hurried to escape on pre-prepared wagons. Earlier, in these wagons, our comrades-in-arms raked all the good that Joe might like, and also prepared horses, so we did not have to hesitate. In the course of a long chase, we were able to fight off the enemy and even break away, blowing up one of the small river platforms, but, unfortunately, after the collapse of the cart on which I was sitting, our paths diverged. As it became known later, Gurley, William and Silas, in the process of dashing turns and slips, fell out of the wagon, while the rest were able to stay in it until the very end, which can be considered stuck between two oaks. nine0003

No, the group was unable to cope with the mechanism that one of the villains accidentally turned on. The group also could not cope with the management, and they fought off the villains only with the last of their strength. The heroes did not get anything they needed from the farm and, on the contrary, lost several people, but… no, it was not in vain. One of the most important problems, the problem of Biggs smugglers, was practically solved. The matter remains small, it’s only a pity that we will have to carefully prepare for this “small” one, think through every detail and get everything that may be needed, otherwise failure will be inevitable … “0003

Total:
1. Gurley, William, Darnie and Silas left the group. They have to get to Brill in other ways, moreover, in different ways.
2. A new branch “Everyday affairs” has been opened, headed by Darnie – a young militant girl who wants to help everyone at once.
3. Biggs lost influence, unwittingly giving way to John in the issue of leadership in smuggling.
