Honestly this was not my first choice, daycare period. But when I had no other choice little over a year ago, they accepted my child! I was very skeptical at first but I have to say that that opinion changed when I saw how much my child was learning and growing. They really do care about these babies! And as some of the reviews on here about the teachers don’t seem great, please put yourself in their shoes and keep day after day little ones, it can be quite trying at times but that doesn’t mean that they love our children any less, it just means that maybe our kids were a little “extra” that day lol. But in my opinion and after researching daycare after daycare, for this center to get 5 stars by the state is pretty darn good! They are clean, my child learns daily and they keep me more informed about my child then I ever thought possible! Great place, everyone knows everyone and genuinely cares about us as parents and our babies! I would definitely recommend to anyone! You definitely pay for what you get! The o my thing I would change is if they had an app where tefird22180@gmail. comsee my baby during the day and maybe a keyfob entrance program! All in all I love them and my baby’s teachers!!

04/12/2016

I have sent my children here since they opened (first as babies, now as after school care) and have had great experiences! Caring teachers and wonderful staff!

07/21/2015

This center is clean and looks appealing. The times you just show up it is clear the teachers put on a fake show to please family members. Kids seem unhappy

February is Family Support Awareness Month

Dallas, NC – The Partnership for Children of Lincoln & Gaston Counties (Partnership) is pleased to announce that February is Family Support Awareness Month, as proclaimed by Governor Cooper. The Partnership uses Smart Start funding to support programs serving children and families in Lincoln & Gaston Counties. Their impact on each of our communities has been remarkable.

The Lincoln County Child Advocacy Center (LCCAC) at the Lincoln County Coalition Against Child Abuse supports children who have experienced abuse and neglect along with their non-offending family members. Against the backdrop of a home-like setting, child victims experience the LCCAC as a safe space where they along with their families receive support to navigate the system and access the professionals and services they need in one place.  Smart Start funds pay for a forensic interviewer and victim advocacy and counseling services for children birth to age five and their families. The LCCAC has both transformed the way our community responds to child abuse and neglect, and helped victims experience safety and healing. To find out more about the LCCAC, visit https://cac-lincolncounty.org. View a powerful video here to learn more about the impact of this program.

“It is so important to all of our children who fall victim that we have the types of support that children receive in a child advocacy center.” ~ A grateful parent

In Gaston County, the Positive Parenting Program (Triple P), operated by the NC Cooperative Extension, Gaston County Center, is a collaboration among county organizations to support all parents and families. Through individual support and group training, the Triple P approach promotes children’s development and behavior management based on positive attention and communication. Priority is given to parents or caregivers of children birth to age five, and those who have been identified as being at high risk for child abuse or neglect. Research shows that many parents and caregivers who have successfully completed the program develop critical skills to be positive and effective parents for the long term. To find out more about the Gaston County Triple P Program, visit https://gaston.ces.ncsu.edu/family-consumer-science-program/gaston-county-triple-p/.

Upon completion, one parent shared, “This [Triple P] program is a huge help…it has helped me realize many different skills to use in my everyday life, as well as helping me and my son grow together!”

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.

Dixon 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.

Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)

You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!

School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)

Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.

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.)

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.

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!

• Since my son has started in KinderCare, I have seen him blossom into a very mature young man and he is talking more. This was the best option for him since he has been through a lot with some important family members being sick. I want to thank all of the staff. I picked KinderCare because it is nearby and I can quickly get there, if needed, and I can stop in to check up on him and to take him to lunch.

  Tina L. – KinderCare Parent

• When we relocated to North Carolina, I was very worried about where my child would attend preschool. We toured several centers and did not feel that they would be the right fit for our family. We then toured KinderCare and the director Ms. Sharon and all her teachers were amazing! We felt very comfortable and she answered all of our questions. We knew immediately that that’s where we wanted our daughter to attend. Our daughter has been attending KinderCare since she was eight months old and she will be two years old in a couple of months. The staff has become like family, and I never worry when I have to leave her. They are very informative about her day and communication between the teachers and parents are great. Also their curriculum has played an important role in her development. We are very grateful to have found our KinderCare center, they are like family.

  Ciara – KinderCare Parent

• Dixon KinderCare is our second family. My son, Joshua Jr., has been a part of the KinderCare family since six weeks old. He is now four years old. He has grown so much and learned a lot throughout the past four years. From the KinderCare office staff to the KinderCare teaching staff, they all play a role in my son’s learning and life. Enrolling Joshua Jr. in Dixon KinderCare was the best educational decision made for my son.

Dorothy Cotton

For EastEnders character, see Spot cotton.

Dorothy Cotton (January 5, 1930 – June 10, 2018) was an American civil rights activist who was a leader in the Civil Rights Movement in the United States ^[1] and a member of the inner circle of one of its core organizations, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). As director of education for the SCLC, she was arguably the highest ranked woman in the organization.

Early life and education

Dorothy Fordan, 9 Julia, 9 Julia, 9 of the year – Dorothy Lee Foreman. ^[2] Her mother, Maggie Pelham Foreman, died when she was 3 years old. ^[2] As a result, she and her three sisters were raised by their father, Claude Forman, a worker in a tobacco factory and steel mill. ^[2] with only third grade education. ^[3] Life in their isolated southern town was a daily struggle. ^[4] Cotton’s father often beat Cotton and her three sisters. ^[2] Cotton said, “I don’t remember having anything caring at home.” ^[2]

While Cotton was in high school, she met Rose Grey, an English teacher who positively changed her life and inspired her to be successful and powerful. Gray, as director of the school’s annual play, frequently put her on the lead, which Foreman said made her feel “such a connection to her.” ^[5] Gray helped Clap find a place at Shaw University where she studied English, and also secured her two part-time jobs on campus, one in the school cafeteria and the other cleaning in the teacher’s dormitory. When Dr. Daniel, a teacher at Shaw, was offered the presidency at Virginia State University, Cotton went along and worked as his housekeeper. Cotton has described his work in the house as “half daughter, half housekeeper”. ^[5] While in Virginia, she met a man named Horace Sims, a student in her Shakespeare class, who introduced her to George Cotton. George Cotton was not a student at the state of Virginia. Dorothy married George at the President’s house immediately after graduation. She then continued her studies and received a master’s degree in speech therapy from Boston University at 1960 year. It was in Petersburg that Cotton joined the local church led by Wyatt T. Walker. It is here that her active work in the field of civil rights will begin.

Civil rights activism

In an interview with the Library of Congress, ^[5] Cotton recalls an incident when she was on the street and a white boy rode a bicycle and sang “in the heart of a Negro town.” ^[5] She talks about this experience and says that it made her angry and she never forgot about it, giving her “awareness of the wrongness of the system”. ^[5] This set her mentality up as she began her journey working with the Civil Rights Movement.

During her time at Virginia State University, she contacted the local church, led by Wyatt T. Walker, regional leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. She says she was drawn to the church because of her involvement in the movement. ^[5] Walker asked Cotton if she would like to help organize and train children to picket. Her job was to teach them how to properly picket and march for the movement. “She helped Walker protest segregation at the library and at the dinner table, and she taught direct action tactics to students.” ^[6] Shortly after she intervened, Martin Luther King Jr. was invited to the church to speak. Both King and Cotton were on the program of the evening. Cotton read a piece of poetry and King showed interest and then spoke to Cotton. While in Petersburg, King asked Walker if he would move to Atlanta to help King form the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Walker said he would only go if he could bring two of his closest associates with him. The two partners were Jim Wood and Dorothy Cotton. Cotton made the decision to leave, but to stay there for only three months. She ended up staying there for 23 years. In those years, she made a huge contribution to the Civil Rights Movement. ^[3] When Cotton first arrived at Atlanta, she was Walker’s administrative assistant. Soon after, she was hired by King to help Highland Folk School, a badly publicized school. At Highlander, Cotton met Septim Clark with whom she would work on a citizenship education program.

Cotton’s participation in the movement dominated her life. This was due to her sense of duty. In her autobiography, Cotton wrote, “Our work with SCLC was not just a job, it was a lifelong commitment.” ^[7] Perhaps her greatest achievement in the movement was the Civic Education Program: a program designed to help blacks register to vote.

Citizenship Education Program

I understand that people generally viewed the civil rights movement as just marches. And I know first hand that it’s not true. We had a big training program called the Citizenship Education Program. The reason for going through this citizenship training was to help African Americans who were living at a time when we had what I call the American style. apartheid.

Dorothy Cotton, interview with PBS (2013)

Cotton’s close collaboration with Septima Clark and Esau Jenkins, through both the Tennessee Highland Folk School and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, created a mass movement in southern rural areas during a time of violent and tense civil rights era of the 1960s. Esau Jenkins was one of the first participants in the formation of the Program. As an independent businessman with a “third-grade education but a Ph.D.” Jenkins traveled by private bus to the mainland from the offshore islands of South Carolina, taking local residents to and from work. ^[4]

During these trips, Esau would initiate conversations with his passengers about the power and importance of their personal voice. Esau recognized the urgent need for educational programs to raise awareness of political and civil rights in order to galvanize African American communities into action for change. These informal conversations were necessary to form the base of the first participants in the Civic Education Program. ^[4]

The civic education program is primarily focused on teaching voter registration requirements as well as community and individual empowerment. Most Southern states have enacted voter registration laws specifically designed to promote literacy in order to disqualify potential African American voters. Such requirements for registering to vote included being able to speak arbitrary parts of the constitution as well as signing one’s name in cursive. Many of those who forced these premises on blacks were themselves illiterate, making the process unreliable and subjective; many blacks were rejected. The program sought to strengthen their understanding that their right to vote is inviolable. The program also taught basic daily needs. Another hope for the program was to create a wave of education that would spread throughout the local communities, with community members themselves being teachers. ^[8]

The hope for the educational program was that it would spread to other communities and that these programs and schools would be established in other communities in the South and eventually throughout the United States. The brochure for the program clearly states the goal: “Their immediate program is teaching reading and writing. They help students pass literacy tests for voting.” ^[9] These programs also included tuition, training, and even travel to a training center. Through its commitment, the Civic Education Program will help many blacks register over the next few years. The civic education program had a profound effect on the movement, with over 6,000 men and women participating in workshops and classes. ^[4]

Cotton helped James Bevel organize students during the Birmingham Campaign and the Children’s Crusade and taught citizenship classes in the South during that era.
