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.
Antelope 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.

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.)

Golden antelope: how to learn the right attitude towards money
-
Alexander Zmanovsky

Russian entrepreneurs often make the same mistakes as the greedy Raja in the Soviet cartoon
Common truths of doing business are displayed not only on the pages of books and magazines. Useful lessons can also be found in cartoons and fairy tales. A vivid example of this is the Soviet cartoon “Golden Antelope”, which teaches us the investment approach and business planning. nine0005
There are three main characters in the cartoon: a greedy Raja, a boy and a magical antelope that can create gold by kicking its hooves. That’s what Raja wants to get. But, despite his great desire to earn money, Raja does not plan ahead, but focuses his attention on the very fact of owning an object. When he still manages to get the coveted Golden Antelope, she sets a condition: she is ready to give as much gold as she likes, but as soon as Raja says “enough”, it will turn into shards. The character goes on a rampage and tirelessly screams “more gold” until he is bombarded up to his throat along with his entire retinue. So the hero is forced to click on the stop and find himself “at a broken trough”, as in another well-known fairy tale. nine0005
I often see entrepreneurs in the CIS make the same mistakes as the hero of a fairy tale.
The first is the wrong setting of goals. Not only SMART (a method of setting goals), but even the first quality (S – specific, specific) the hero did not have. If he followed this or any other goal setting methodology, it would not be “more gold, I want more gold”, but “I want you to create 10 kilograms of gold every day” . With this wording, it would be much easier to manage finances. But Raja continued to repeat the goal that became fatal for him. nine0005
The second mistake of the greedy Raja is the lack of financial planning. He stopped controlling the cash flow. And the question is not in greed, but in terms of action.
If he had prepared a specific investment path (the treasury in the castle, a detachment of servants with shovels, a plan for reinvesting the received gold and a specific time frame), the antelope would have been creating gold for years. But the flow of the Raj directed at himself. Just as some entrepreneurs spend the profits of their companies on the same car, fur coat or villa in Spain. As a result, not understanding how to manage the cash flow, having no idea what to do with gold, he asked the antelope to stop, and we remember the condition of this task: when it stops, there is no investment return. nine0005
Raja should have added something to our original goal: “I want you to create 10 kilograms of gold every day in the castle treasury. In order to keep the treasury from overflowing, gold will be invested in the construction of a new mill, water supply and fortification of the city walls during this year. And this would allow to save both an asset (Golden Antelope) and a liability (gold).
This metaphor is also appropriate for the entrepreneurial approach. We take on one project (an antelope), but, without achieving a result, we stop, and the business collapses. But it’s not the project’s fault. The problem is in the way it is handled. With proper planning and use of funds, it was possible to push a little more, build a system, work with the team – and be in chocolate, or rather, in gold. nine0005
State clearly what you want to receive. How much gold exactly and why. “Give me a lot of gold…More gold” is not accurate enough. I truly admire the stories of entrepreneurs who have made phenomenal millions of dollars in a few months. This is what the era of the startup is red. But I also know that most of the businessmen I know who have succeeded were not after money. They wanted to create a first-class product and develop it. They loved this “antelope”, and not just wanted to squeeze it. nine0005
Prepare to achieve your goal. Determine in advance the strategy – where to put the gold and how to dispose of it. What funds are needed, what will the money be used for if there is “too much” of them. Do not go crazy and do not immediately buy “the same car” and “the same fur coat.” The future of this asset depends on the skillful handling of an asset – accounting, reinvestment, funding, planning of future expenses and income.
Don’t stop. We tell ourselves “stop” and “enough”, and gold turns into shards. In order to prevent this, you need to clearly understand where to invest it and what to do with it. At the same time, we cannot stop there. You need to constantly think about the strategy and improve plans. Reinvest in business and grow it. nine0005
If you are not ready for the amount of work ahead, do not raise funds. Otherwise, there is a risk of burnout. Remember the relationship between the boy and the antelope – he respected her, and she was always there and was ready to give as much gold as he needed. Here is another problem, the problem of ambition – the boy does not need money. But that’s a completely different story.

Steppe guest: where the northern goiter antelope lives
Stories
Meet the northern goiter antelope gazelle (lat. 90 Procapra 907)0074) are one of the rarest animals found in Russia.
- Photo
- Legion-Media
Dzerens live in Mongolia, in northern China, and are also found in Transbaikalia, Tuva and the Altai Mountains. It is quite difficult to confuse them with any other ungulates when meeting: the size of gazelle is comparable to the Siberian roe deer, but it looks more robust, stocky. At the withers does not exceed 85 centimeters, and in length reaches 1.5 meters. Large males can weigh over 40 kilograms. The average weight of dzeren is 25–26 kilograms. The muzzle is small but thick. Males have small horns on their heads. The neck is powerful with an outgrowth in the form of a goiter in the middle, which is why the antelope got its name. nine0005
- Photo
- Legion-Media
The yellowish color of the coat helps the gazelle to hide among the dry grass. For the winter, the fur coat of the animal becomes thicker and noticeably lighter. The “mirror” near the tail and the end of the muzzle are white.
Being inhabitants of cold steppes, gazelles are very unpretentious and hardy. They rarely stay in one place for more than a day. Fleeing from wolves or poachers, they reach speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour, and they are able to hold it for quite some time. A herd of gazelles running across the steppe resembles a flock of flying birds, for the run of a northern antelope is akin to flight. And it’s not just about speed. Dzeren, barely touching the ground, jump over two meters in height and about ten meters in length. It seems that they have found some secret to overcome gravity and fly over the grasses. nine0005
Wolves following herds of gazelles can only hope to catch a sick individual or a weak cub. Chasing a strong and adult wanderer of the steppe is like trying to outrun the wind: you will lose strength, but you will not be full.
Unlike wolves, a man with a gun with the help of a horse or car successfully hunted swift-footed gazelles. The story of one of the hunters was recorded in the mid-1940s by the famous biologist Andrey Alexandrovich Nasimovich:
“Considering that the gazelles were still far away, we drove by car without special precautions. Having climbed one of the ridges, we suddenly saw a large herd. From a distance, the backs of the animals merged into one reddish-gray mass, which moved along the side of the road, now increasing, then decreasing speed. Hearing the sharp horn of the car, the whole herd stood up as if rooted to the spot, raising their heads, and in the meantime we increased speed. nine0005
For a few seconds the animals remained in some kind of stupor, then the herd ran across our road, and although the car was getting closer to the gazelles with every second, they stubbornly kept to the direction taken …
As soon as our Dodge slowed down, the hunters straight ahead they opened fire from the car, laying down more than two dozen zerens, but I think that a much larger number left and, it’s true, they should have subsequently died from wounds.
It is not surprising that as a result of such predatory hunts, gazelle were almost destroyed on the territory of Russia. nine0005
It was possible to return the goiter antelope only thanks to the selfless work of the employees of the Daursky Reserve. In the 1990s, gazelles gradually came to the territory of Dauria from Mongolia. In 2001, over 60 thousand animals, spurred on by starvation, poured in an endless stream across the Russian-Mongolian border into Transbaikalia. Ungulates, shrouded in clouds of dust and steam, sought to overcome barbed wire barriers. Many of them tore their skins, gouged out their eyes, died from wounds and bullets of poachers, but did not give up, went forward. The employees of the reserve, employees of the state hunting supervision and border guards cut the wire, freed the unfortunate antelopes, created corridors for them. Their efforts helped rescue the forced “migrants”. Dzerens survived the harsh winter, after which they again went to Mongolia.
