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.
East Lansing 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.
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!
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.

I was such a nervous new mom leaving my daughter at daycare when she was just 6 weeks old. All the staff in the infant room at Kindercare were incredibly compassionate and took great care of Charlotte. She continues to thrive there and her little face lights up when she sees Kindercare staff she recognizes.

We have had our two children in several different daycares. Most of the centers had education objectives and gave a great presentation when viewing their centers. However, education development was not taught and the centers were more a play center. We moved to East Lansing and looked into KinderCare, event though we thought it would be like the other centers we have experienced.
Instead of a play center, KinderCare has been the best. My children are comfortable here. My son only does before and after school care, and my four year old is in the prekindergarten program. My youngest has developed writing skills, understands the days of the week, learns about the weather, and animals and brings home art work and activities that she did that week. I get a daily report everyday and I know exactly what she was doing all day.Furthermore, the staff is very friendly with great teachers and director.
The place is very clean and my children a rarely sick. Their play area outside is set up well with plenty of room. My daughter looks forward to Fridays, which are show and share, because she can bring something from home to share with her classmates and teachers. The meals are well-rounded with a good variety. Everything has been great; I highly recommend this center.Theresa R. – KinderCare Parent

Our daughter has been at East Lansing KinderCare since she was about eight-months-old. She has excellent experiences in both the Toddler and Infant programs! Unfortunately our little one has some unusual allergies and has also had to have routine breathing treatments. The Center Director and her teachers have always paid special attention to these issues, consulted with us, and made us feel very welcome with our special medical requests. The language our child brings home is astounding to us.
She also learned great social skills already as a two-year-old! The teachers are caring, creative, fun and loving, yet firm in enforcing rules and safety precautions. My daughter absolutely loves to go to “school” at KinderCare. We love the safe, educational, nurturing, creative and inspiring environment and all of her teachers, and she loves exploring, practicing new skills and the fun! I am a former teacher and really have high standards about the educational aspect of care and would recommend this facility 100+% in that regard. Couple that with the wonderful people and personalities that are her teachers, the organization of the center, the special events including picture day, parent/teacher conferences, holiday events, nature hikes, water day each week in the summer, and more and we are very, very happy!Katherine R. – KinderCare Parent
