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.

Frankfort 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.

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!

• When it comes time to hand your child off to an unfamiliar place, with unfamiliar people, it can frighten almost any parent. While, most parents have done the research, read reviews, talked to other parents, you never really feel comfortable until you meet the teachers and staff. That was what it was like for me when I was looking for a daycare facility for my twins. For me, it was even more nerve-wracking because we had a nanny for 14 months, someone who had become part of the family, and since I worked from home, I was around a lot to see the interaction between the three of them. Now, here I was in a new town, where I didn’t know anyone. I could have interviewed nannies, but I felt the boys would do better in an accredited day care facility where they can grow and develop.

  I visited many child care facilities, but none of them seemed like the right fit. That was until I walked into the Frankfort KinderCare and can honestly say my anxiety dissipated. I was immediately met with smiles from Hillary, Dawn, and Lori. As a parent, the facility checked off many major boxes like being accredited, secure, having a tenured staff (which I now know to be rare), convenient location, nutritional food, great outdoor space, etc. However, what really pushed me to enroll my kids, was the little things I noticed. You could immediately tell the ENTIRE staff had built relationships with all the kids, not just the ones in their classrooms. I watched as four or five kids gave Mr. Mark a high-five as he walked down the hall delivering lunch. I saw the kids run to Miss Lori as she walked me around (patiently answering my many questions), because they wanted to give her hugs. She knew everyone by name and they were thrilled to see her. It was these little moments I witnessed with each of the teachers that solidified my decision. That was 3.5 years ago and I have never second guessed my decision.

  I now have three kids in the facility, and love how my youngest has the same teachers as my older two. All of my children are thriving socially and developmentally, and I know it is not just the curriculum, but more importantly, the teachers who teach the curriculum. I have noticed how each teacher understands the unique ways each kid learns and uses that knowledge to teach. One of my sons has mild ADHD and I worried the he would not have the patience to sit through lessons as it was difficult for me at home sometimes. However, knowing this was a concern of mine, not only did Miss Cheryl immediately share with me techniques and tactics they use in school, reassured me he was fine, but also gave me ideas of what I can do at home with him.

  It is not just the curriculum, but the teachers’ aid in other developmental milestones, like potty training and learning how to feed oneself. I remember when the twins turned three, Miss Jessica said, “The boys will be out of pull-ups for their naps in a couple of weeks if you are okay with having more laundry to do.” In three weeks, while they did have few accidents when they slept, just like she said, they were out of pull-ups. Miss LeAnne, Miss Jenny, Miss Erin, and Miss Stephanie, had my youngest eating with a fork and spoon much earlier then I was able to with the twins. 

  I also love how even when teachers move on because of life changes, they still have a place to come back to if they wanted to float, or pitch in during peak times. Nothing makes me (or my kids) happier then to see a familiar face back in the facility. I can go on and on about the teachers at this facility, how each has made such a lasting impact on my kids, and all the wonderful experiences we have had with each and every one of them, but I will end with how happy I am to have chosen this facility.

  I could not have asked for a better place to send my children. All three of my kids are thriving and have so much admiration for all the teachers. They love going each and every morning (and sometimes do not want to come home). As a parent, I wanted the corporate office to know, how much I value all the staff at this site, and how incredibly fortunate I am to have my kids enrolled.

• It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for the Frankfort, IL KinderCare facility kindergarten program. My now seven year old daughter started at this facility from the age of three years old and has developed and learned so much since she has attended. It was such a delight knowing that this KinderCare Facility provided such a great Kindergarten Program. I do believe that this program is comparable to and even better than many other programs available in the area. The class focuses on the children and their educational and social needs in order to prepare them to move on to a prosperous grade school experience. This program prepared my daughter for 1st grade and she is currently earning nothing but A’s. I am very pleased with my child’s development and transition to grade school and I have the Frankfort, IL KinderCare staff and facility to thank. My two younger daughters that currently attend this same facility’s high quality day care program will definitely be attending this kindergarten program. I confidently recommend this kindergarten program to parents seeking a quality Kindergarten experience and education for their children.

  Mr. & Mrs. Lindsey – KinderCare Parent

• I recently took the Gallup survey via the link offered by my center. I wanted to add the follow-up comment that I really mean every “5” I provided. The reality of being a full-time working mother is that someone else is responsible for my children during the majority of their waking hours. I feel so fortunate that as much as I wish I would have that time with them for myself. I know that they’re not feeling my absence because they are well cared for and loved by a facility that treats them as a family and not a weekly check. 

  My oldest was full-time at KinderCare, but recently enrolled in a morning preschool program at the local elementary school, and he now buses from the elementary school to KinderCare in time for lunch. When picture day for KinderCare rolled around, I was sad that he would most likely miss the class picture and the opportunity for a sibling picture. When I approached Laurie to ask about the timing, I found that she had already made arrangements to allow Cooper to be present for the class picture and for the sibling picture. I think it goes without saying that parents expect to find a facility that keeps their children safe and fed by default, but it’s the consideration for the life details that make me feel so pleased to have my family in their hands.  

  Additionally, the preschool program my son attends is for at-risk children. In my son’s case, he has a speech delay. During an early meeting, the special services teacher commented that she can always tell a difference between the kids that come from Frankfort KinderCare versus other daycare environments because of how well the classroom curriculum and activities align.

  I can’t offer enough thanks to Laurie, Hillary, and the Frankfort KinderCare team for how they’ve cared for my family.

  Emily Y. – KinderCare Parent

• My name is Kim P. and my daughter Gina is a recent student in your nursery. I am just writing to say how very pleased I am with your facility and staff. Daycare is always a hard transition for parent and I have found it to be extremely easy because of your facility. When I am at work, I know that my daughter is safe and being well taken care of. The facility is so clean and uplifting. The staff is excellent. The women who work in the nursery are professional and so loving to the children. I am 110% pleased with my choice to have my daughter in daycare because of the experience I am having with the Frankfort KinderCare. Thank you for giving my husband and I peace of mind and for taking such great care of our baby!

  Kim P. – KinderCare Parent

• I have two children enrolled at the Frankfort KinderCare daycare facility, my nine year old daughter and five year-old son. My daughter attended the Kindergarten preparatory classes at KinderCare before entering the public school system. I believe my daughter was well prepared for her Kindergarten experience. I believe that the classes she took at KinderCare played a big part in making that transition an easy one. She was able to adjust to the type of classroom routine that was required and was able to meet the educational requirements with ease. Because of the positive experience my daughter had, my son is currently enrolled in the same preparatory classes. Since my son has struggled to make many milestone accomplishments in his toddler years, I feel that the additional educational instruction he is receiving now will be instrumental in a positive Kindergarten experience. As for the parents of the children in the program, I have benefited from regular parent/teacher conferences on his academic achievements and areas of needed improvement. This has enabled me to focus on specific skill sets at home which will help him meet necessary educational requirements when the time comes. Educational and daycare decisions regarding your children are never easy, however we feel confident that we made the right decision for us when placing our children in the KinderCare program.

  Frank & Karen – KinderCare Parent

• The KinderCare in Frankfort has been exceptional with caring for my son! I feel comfort in knowing that my child is well cared for while in their care. Mrs. Lori is an excellent Center Director she is very communicative with the parents and has a positive attitude that radiates and she is always available for parents. Ms. Amy and Ms. Brittney both are FANTASTIC! They provide such nurturing care and have really helped my son learn so much in the time that he has been in their classroom. He is much more vocal, knows so many fun songs and has been able to express himself creatively every day! They are always doing fun and creative activities with the kids and make an effort to share that with parents through photos and videos sent throughout the day. This center provides so much value to me as a parent. I could not have asked for better! This is a top center for care and quality. I am very happy to be a part of the KinderCare Frankfort family!

Frankfurt am Main, Germany – information about the city of Frankfurt, sights with photos Frankfurt am Main, Germany: the most detailed information about the city of Frankfurt, the main attractions with photos and descriptions, location on the map.

City of Frankfurt am Main (Germany)

Frankfurt am Main is one of the largest cities in Germany, located in the south-west of the country closer to the central part in the federal state of Hesse. Frankfurt am Main is one of the main business and financial centers in Europe. The headquarters of the European Bank and the German Stock Exchange are located here. The city’s airport is the third largest in Europe, serving more than 50 million passengers annually. In addition, there is an annual car show, which is one of the largest exhibitions of its kind in the world, and a book fair.

Frankfurt am Main stands out from the rest of most German cities. This is an ultra-modern city with excellent infrastructure and skyscrapers. Its historical appearance was practically lost during the bombardments during the Second World War. Interestingly, Frankfurt is one of the most expensive cities in Germany to live in. The city’s economy is driven by financial institutions, fairs, and transportation. Frankfurt am Main is also a major educational and commercial center.

River Rhine

The city spreads out on both banks of the river Main. The historical center is located on the northern shore. Geographically, these are the lands of the Upper Rhine. The climate of Frankfurt is temperate with warm summers and mild winters. The average annual temperature is over 10 degrees. More than 600 mm of precipitation falls annually. Comfortable warm weather prevails in summer, and in winter the temperature rarely drops below zero. Snow cover lasts a maximum of a couple of weeks per year.

History

Roman settlements in the vicinity of the historical region of Römer already existed in the 1st century AD. The formation of the city was associated with an ancient crossing over the river Main. The name Frankfurt literally translates as “the crossing of the Franks”. The first written mention of the city dates back to 794 and the reign of Charlemagne.

Frankfurt quickly became one of the centers of the Holy Roman Empire. From the end of the 9th century, kings and emperors were elected here and crowned in Aachen. From 1562 and for the next 230 years, the coronations of monarchs took place in Frankfurt am Main.

Historic city center

The first fair took place in 1150. In 1240 Frankfurt received imperial privileges, and in 1372 the rights of an imperial city. During the Thirty Years’ War, Frankfurt remained neutral, but suffered from an epidemic of plague. Interestingly, during the Napoleonic Wars, the city was several times under the control of French troops, but retained its rights and freedoms until the fall of the Holy Roman Empire. After the revolution in the middle of 19century, the first German Parliament was located here. Later the city became part of Prussia.

World War II left the city with one of the worst scars. The bombings practically destroyed the historical center and old districts. After the war, only some of the old buildings were restored. Therefore, we can see what old Frankfurt was like only in paintings, old photos and engravings.

Getting there

Frankfurt am Main is the heart of Central Germany and an important national transport hub. Getting to the city is not difficult.

Frankfurt airport is the third in Europe (after London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle) and ninth in the world. It connects the city with almost all major cities of our planet. The airport has several terminals and is one of the most modern in the world.

Frankfurt am Main Airport

You can get from the airport to the city center and vice versa by taxi, bus 61 (going to the South Station) and S-Bahn lines 8 and 9, going to the Central Station.
