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.
Bell Shoals 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.)
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.

The whole team at the Bell Shoals KinderCare is just great – Krys and Tina are always available to talk and give good advice whenever I have concerns/questions.
Lea, Tina and Nicki are so good with the kids. Ruth is also one of our very favorites – she was always so helpful getting Bradley comfortable in the infant room on the many mornings when he didn’t want to get dropped off, and she’s been a constant source of kindness and caring ever since. There are so many to name – all of the staff is very professional.I did want to take a moment to tell you about our experience with one employee in particular, Miss Jean. The first time I came to tour KinderCare on Bell Shoals was very emotional for me, as I’m sure it is for any first time mom. My son was only a few weeks old when I started looking for childcare, and the thought of leaving him was pretty traumatic for me. But when I saw Jean walk into the room and watched all the babies in the infant room scramble over to her with excitement, I knew that I was in the right place.
After spending his first year with her (and Nicki and Tina who were also fantastic) in the infant room, we were lucky enough to end up in her classroom again when he moved to “the two’s”. In that room, she showed endless creativity and caring. She always had fun, educational activities for them. And she always seemed to have eyes in the back of her head to keep the kids under control. She runs a tight ship while still managing to give each child individual attention tailored to their needs. She always took the time to give us thoughtful feedback about his development.Jean has become a friend over the years, and our family just loves her. She has such a gift for working with children of all ages. You’re very lucky to have her!

My son attended KinderCare for the past 13 months. Upon registration Ms. Tina McCrath was a primary reason for choosing KinderCare. Her friendliness and love of kids made me so comfortable enrolling my son.
Once he began classes, Ms. Lea shined. She was such a bright influence in my son’s life and I am blessed to have found her.

The history of the kindergarten “Gulchachak”
02/19/2023Dubyazsky kindergarten “Gulchachak” has a rich history. The time of the emergence of the first kindergartens in the village of Dubyazi is considered to be the 30s of the last century, the time of the emergence of the first collective farms. Archival materials testify that in the 1930s, 115 children were brought up in three kindergartens in the village of Dubyazy. In these hungry years, kindergartens were a salvation from hunger for many children.
Since 1940, in the village of Dubyazy, the first nursery begins to work separately from the kindergarten. For 42 years, Fatykhova Khalida has been the head of the nursery, in the 80s Garafiev Fania Naretdinovna has been in charge of the nursery. Over the years, Sayfutdinova Sufiya worked as educators in the nursery, Abasheva Raziya as a nurse, Fathullina Kadriya, Fayzrakhmanova Amina, Khamidullina Galiya worked as nannies.
The old building of the kindergarten was wooden and was located on the street.

In 1948, after graduating from the Chistopol Pedagogical College, two young teachers Valiullina Rokiya Kobetdinovna and Ismagilova Asiya Sadykovna came to the direction. Young teachers soon marry local guys and connect their lives with the village and the kindergarten.
In the 60s and 70s, Yusupov Fatym and Zamaliev Fler managed the kindergarten. During these years, Ziganshina Fatima, Vafina Marhaba worked as a cook in the kindergarten, Fathullina Alfiya, Shaykhattarova Zaytuna, Khusainoaa Rashida, Rakhmanova Zaytuna worked as educators.
