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.

Midtown Plantation 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.

Florida Voluntary Prekindergarten Programs

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.

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 centers aren’t just licensed—most are accredited, too! Find out more.

Our teachers meet every child’s needs during naptime. Our teachers know how to get babies to nap. In fact, they are pros at getting children of any age to nap. Visit our article on “10 Ways We Help Kids Get a Great Daycare Nap” to learn more.

Do you support alternative diets?

We strive to be as inclusive as possible. To that point, we provide a vegetarian option at mealtime, take care to not serve common allergens and can adapt menus based on your child’s food sensitivities. If your child has additional needs, we’ll work with you to figure out a plan.

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.

Does my child need to be potty-trained?

Every child begins toilet learning at a different age. Until your child shows an interest in toilet 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.

After Running Late to Daycare Pickup, This Mother Found Her 2-Year-Old Locked Inside Daycare, Completely Alone

Things That Matter

It’s every parent’s worst nightmare to discover they left their children in the care of someone who neglected them. Well, that worst nightmare became a reality for Florida mother Stephanie Martinez, who went to pick up her 2-year-old daughter Anastasia from daycare on Thursday.

When Martinez arrived late (around 20 minutes after pickup time), she found all the lights turned off and the doors to the KinderCare Learning Centers locked. But, Martinez’s daughter was still inside.

Panicked, Martinez called for her little girl and pounded on the doors and windows. After a while, Anastasia poked her head out from a window of the locked door. The 2-year-old had pulled a chair up to the window and climbed on it so she could see her mother. 

Realizing that her daughter was trapped inside, Martinez called 911 and waited for first responders to come rescue her baby. Martinez recorded the entire ordeal on her phone, including her emotional 911 call. “Honey, I’m coming okay?” Martinez called out to her daughter through the door, in tears.

Martinez explained the situation to the 911 operator, telling her that her daughter was trapped inside the daycare. “She’s inside by herself?” asked the operator, sounding surprised. “Yeah, she’s crying,” said Martinez, her voice choked with tears. “She’s inside by herself.”

Eventually, firefighters came and pried open the doors, leaving Martinez to finally be reunited with her daughter. 

But now, the Florida mother is furious that she and her daughter were put through such an ordeal, telling South Florida NBC 6 that her daughter is “traumatized.”

“It’s the worst feeling ever. You feel helpless,” Martinez told the local news channel. “You can’t do anything to console her. She was definitely stressed out and definitely crying the whole time she was there by herself.”

Employees of KinderCare Learning Centers in Plantation, Florida, where the incident took place, told authorities that they use tablets to check children in and out.

But Martinez doesn’t accept the excuse that forgetting her daughter behind was just a simple mistake. One of Martinez’s close friends, Samantha Scaramellino, took to Facebook to describe the harrowing situation in further detail.

“After talking to another parent who picked up about 10 to 15 minutes before my friend arrived, [the other parent] says numerous kids were still there and [Anastasia] was seen running around yelling. So she wasn’t asleep.”

Scaramellino revealed that the director of KinderCare “heard hours after the incident and sent [Martinez] a text, not even a call, to check on the child.”

This is horrible! Make sure you know who’s taking care of your kids. This is the 3rd time in 6 months a child was left in a daycare or bus or mistreated. Do better people. Check the list twice. https://t.co/2dho56gkXi

In response to the incident, KinderCare Learning Centers released the following statement: “At KinderCare, nothing is more important to us than the safety of the children in our care. While we’re thankful the child was quickly found and was safe, this incident should not have happened.”

They also added that they “placed the staff members involved on administrative leave” while they “looked into the incident.”

According to local news station WPLG, Martinez is pursuing legal action against the daycare center. “The entire event could’ve been avoided if KinderCare did not abandon their responsibilities and the toddler,” Martinez’s attorney said in a statement.

“What adds insult to injury is that nobody at KinderCare bothered to answer the phone in this emergency situation, they failed to apologize for their bad behavior and they failed to provide anything but a bad excuse for what happened. ”

Nursery for future city trees

Small rowans covered with November snow look like ordinary twigs sticking out of the ground. And the lilac plantation, located opposite – on bunches of sticks, looking out from the first snowdrifts. But, according to the employees of the municipal nursery of trees and shrubs, in a few years these plants will become a real decoration of the city. The main thing is to continue to take care of them.

The city needs a nursery

— The city needs a nursery, why do we need to buy trees somewhere? It is not known where they came from: they were dug out in the forest or brought from Poland, – says the deputy general director of the green building department (UZS) of Krasnoyarsk Dmitry Ivanov. – A lot of bushes are brought to us, and a considerable part of them die. And in our nursery, we even zone thuja …

A nursery for trees and shrubs in the Ovinnoye area appeared quite recently – in 2018. It was then that 35 hectares of land were transferred to the UZS.

“In 2019, we already came here with installation work,” says Vitaly Budarin, agronomist, head of the nursery, . – A lot had to be done. And cut the fields, and cultivate the soil, and then install drip irrigation.

Finally done. Already this year, thousands of plants are growing here. 10 species of deciduous, four species of coniferous trees and about 20 species of shrubs. It is no coincidence that in May of this year, visiting the nursery, the mayor of Krasnoyarsk Sergey Eremin called it a place where dreams come true. ” Two years ago, we set the task of creating our own green beautification program, our own landscaping standards , – Sergey Vasilievich noted in a comment to the portal gornovosti.ru. – But for this you need a foundation – your local nursery. Now this land works for Krasnoyarsk, and specialists have a further understanding of the development of this large space – the city’s green “reserve” .

Tape drops

Today, out of 35 hectares, 10 hectares are actively used in the nursery (the rest of the area still needs to be prepared for planting). However, to get around at least these “working” plantations will take a lot of time. Now, while the growing trees are sleeping, the nursery looks empty. The plants are small, the twigs are bare, without leaves. Only in some places green colors burst into the white, already almost winter landscape – these are pines, cedars and spruces. Some are tiny, others are already grown. And so, the field as a field. But if you look closely, you can see dark ribbons of drip irrigation along the rows of dormant plants.

“These belts are pressurized with water and top dressing, and we dig through every bush,” Dmitry Ivanov explains . – We dug one field – we block it, we supply water to another. And so from spring to autumn. This is necessary in order to form the correct root system. After all, why is it impossible to transplant trees that were dug out in the forest into the city? There is no watering, and if there is a drought, the plant begins to look for water. Long conductive roots appear near the surface of the earth. Such a tree can no longer be dug up without damaging the system.

But watering isn’t everything. To grow a tree that will take root in a rather aggressive urban environment, it needs to be transplanted several more times. Only then will future seedlings form a strong and healthy root system. And transplantation is work, and not easy.

Men’s work

The most beautiful time in the nursery is June. When everything is green. But this is also the most difficult time for those who care for the trees.

— Of course, a lot depends on weather conditions — continues Dmitry Ivanov. — It was a rainy summer this year, so they didn’t straighten their back. Because weed. It would be dry, it would be easier. In the heat, I once wiped it, and the weeds died. And if after processing the rain went, then the weed grass sprouts again. And whatever you do, it only gets stronger. But do not pull out the weed, the seedlings will not be seen.

It is possible, of course, to use mechanized processing, but only in row spacing. And where drip irrigation tapes pass, weed with hands or a chopper. At the same time, the staff of the nursery is quite small – there are only 10 employees per 10 hectares involved in planting. And most of them are men. However, there are two women in the state. One of them is Margarita Gaas, master of the second section, a certified agronomist. She says that since childhood she loved to work with plants. On the day of our arrival, she planted small seedlings of cedar and fir in pots to take root.

– Is it hard for me to work? Yes, not at all, – confessed Margarita . On the contrary, I like everything. And especially the team. The people here are very nice.

“Exclusive” and not only

The most interesting thing is that all the employees of the nursery with whom we were lucky to talk are real shoemakers without boots. Well, judge for yourself: the same Vitaly Budarin lives in a private house, and at the same time does not have his own garden in the yard. Although he loves trees very much, each grown mountain ash or apple tree is like a native for him. But after work, coming home and doing the same work is not the best option.

On the other hand, it’s very cool when a hobby is a job. And it’s even cooler when everything works out on her, like the staff of the nursery. It is no coincidence that the question “Do you have dreams, do you want to grow something?” they confidently declare: “Over the past two years, we have grown everything we wanted: both the species familiar to our city and the “exclusive”. And then they begin to list the very “exclusive”: Manchurian walnut (now there are about 150 pieces in the nursery), diabolo spirea, Amur velvet (aka cork tree), snowberry, Tumberg barberry …

In two or three years, the most mature trees from the nursery will grow and get stronger, and they can already be transplanted into the city – on the streets, in parks and squares, in yards. And the bushes will come out next year. Their place in the fields will be taken by other plants. At first they will be inconspicuous, more like twigs, bunches of twigs. But thanks to people they will become big and strong.

Have you started going to kindergarten? How to help your child adjust

Your child has just started going to kindergarten and is taking his first steps to explore the unknown…. How to help him go through this difficult period most calmly, comfortably, without unnecessary tears, whims and aversion to kindergarten. In our article, we will talk about a few points that you should pay attention to during adaptation.

1. Who will support the child?

It often happens that parents thoroughly prepared for kindergarten: they read a lot, talked with the child on this topic. We thought out a scheme for how many hours a day he would spend the first days in the garden. All this is correct. But often many do not take into account, perhaps, the most important factor – this is contact with the teacher.

First, adaptation is important not so much to the team as to the educator.

What depends on the mother: pay attention to which of the caregivers the child is most attuned to. Try to put him in this group. Tell him that the caregiver is his mother’s assistant, the one who will always help and support him.

It is important that the child sees that when meeting with the teacher you are friendly and welcoming: the child reads the information and draws conclusions – if the mother trusts this adult, then he is good.

Chat with the teacher more often: ask what she thinks about your child, listen to her comments, listen to her wishes.

Explain to the child that the educator is the mother’s assistant who will take care of him while the mother is not around, if something happens, then you must definitely contact this assistant.

2. It is important to say goodbye correctly

One of the most painful moments is a breakup. Remember the rule: no matter how the child is hysterical or crying, it is necessary to say goodbye to him. The worst mistake is to leave without warning, for example, when the child is distracted.

Three statements that are important to convey to the child at the moment of parting

1. “I love you.”

2. “I’m leaving because I have to do business” (and not because they want to get rid of the child).

3. “I will definitely come for you!”

Even if he cries, he will have the right mental attitude inside. As a result, the crying will gradually pass, but the correct attitude will remain: they love me, they didn’t leave me, they will come for me.

Throw the “bridge”

When parting, concentrate not on the very moment of the break (“go play soon”, “they are urgently waiting for me at work”, etc.), but on what awaits you when you meet again: “we will go for a walk”, “we will buy ice cream”, etc. In the words of psychologists, “throw the bridge” of attention from the negative to the positive.

Enter farewell rituals

Kiss on both cheeks, rhyme, hold on your knees, wave your mother a pen from the window when she comes to the gate. Rituals smoothly prepare the child for parting.

Imagine how a child feels if a mother suddenly disappears to no one knows where, without saying goodbye, and it is not known when she will come and whether she will come at all. This is a lot of stress.

For example, if you said you’d pick up your child after they’ve had lunch, show up on time. This is extremely important. It is worth being at least 5 minutes late, and the child may begin to panic or hysteria. There may be a fear that close people can deceive him, disappear, there is no reliability in them. And in these new stressful conditions for him, such attitudes can be “printed” in his mind with special force, becoming a dogma. Do everything to keep your promise, and if you don’t have time, then be sure to warn the teacher so that he knows and can confirm your words. So the child will be more calm.

4 . Proper health support

Calmness, only calmness!

To support the child’s nervous system, minimize the negative consequences of new circumstances and events for him, help him more calmly meet this global upheaval in his life, you can support him with special proven means, for example, magnesium and glycine. Sedative herbs melissa and mint are also well suited.

The same can be said about magnesium and vitamin B6. During periods of special emotional events, these elements are especially needed by the body. You can maintain their level, for example, with the help of children’s marmalade “Mishek Evalar Tranquility” . These are the first ¹ calming bears for children and the only gummies for children containing glycine ² . They also contain magnesium, vitamin B6 and mild herbal extracts of lemon balm and mint, which are allowed for children.

Bears Evalar Tranquility – the first ² vitamin bears for the peace of mind of children!

They are natural and kids will love the taste.

For mothers, this complex can become a real lifesaver. It gently soothes, helps to maintain the nervous system under increased stress, reduces excitability, improves sleep ³ , which is very necessary when a child adapts and gets used to a new daily routine.

Strong immunity

Special vitamins and natural remedies for immunity support, which act in a gentle, natural way, can also help him in this.

It is worth paying attention to vitamins with a rich complex composition. It is good if the vitamins in their composition are enhanced by minerals. One of these complexes is delicious chewing gummies “Mishki Evalar Multivitamins” .

They are aimed at enriching the body with vitamins and minerals, general strengthening of the body, improving memory and attention, intellectual development of the child, support during the period of adaptation to kindergarten ⁴ .

Reception of multivitamins can be supplemented with special complexes for immunity, for example, “Bears Evalar Immunity” . Each gummy bear contains a piece of care for your child’s defenses, consisting of proven ingredients: sea buckthorn, elderberry, vitamins C, E and zinc.

Together they help to support the body’s defenses and the activity of the immune system, especially during the period of adaptation.

A few more practical tips for parents when introducing their child to kindergarten

“Unknown” prohibition

Be sure to tell your child what awaits him in kindergarten. This is clear and understandable for adults. The child is faced with this for the first time, and has no idea what awaits him. Because of the uncertainty, this can become a serious stress for him.

Communication with mother

Give your child something to take with you to kindergarten that will represent a connection with you. It can be a bracelet identical with mom, a small pendant, a toy, some kind of mom’s thing or something like that. For example, you can tie your own ribbon on his handle, you can come up with something of your own. This will remind him that you remember him.

Don’t be afraid to choose assistants

Have you noticed that with different people the child behaves a little differently. So try the following: have the child be taken to kindergarten by different family members (who can, if possible). For example, it could be dad, grandmother, older brother or sister. Watch with which of them the child cries less when parting? Let this person take the child to the garden more often at first.

Adaptation – a period of emotional calm outside the kindergarten

During the adaptation period, cancel all bright entertainment events that cause a storm of emotions in the child. Many mothers, seeing how their baby suffers, trying to compensate for tears due to kindergarten in this way, begin to take their children to various events, to a circus, a water park, etc. It is a bad idea. The new environment that your child found in kindergarten is stressful: everything is new, unknown, everything is accompanied by strong emotions. The body is trying to digest it. And if you add to this some other bright, albeit positive, emotions – a circus, a zoo, etc. – then this will be a big burden on his nervous system. Any emotions – both positive and negative – cause certain reactions in the body at the physiological level, so you should not increase this load on the child’s body.

Postpone all highly emotional activities until the kindergarten adjustment is successfully completed. For now, focus on more calm, warm, emotional family time with your child.
