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.

Westcreek 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.

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.)

After School Tutoring

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!

• I have trusted my son to Westcreek KinderCare since he was six months old. He is now five years old and ready to begin school. I have happily watched him grow and learn so much over the last four years. In the fall, he will be entering a dual language program in our local school district. I have no doubts that he will excel thanks to the academic foundation he has built with KinderCare’s help. Thank you to Tara Bell (his current teacher) and the many other teachers who have contributed to his growth and success over the last few years.

  Dianna – KinderCare Parent

• I stayed at home with my daughter for the first two years of her life and I was always so scared to put her in child care. I was still very nervous until I saw how wonderful her current teacher, Miss Vickie, is with her. My daughter used to just cry and cry when she knew I had to leave her and it was very difficult for both of us. Once Vickie became her teacher, my daughter began running into her class to see her. She talks about Vickie when we go home, sings songs that she is taught, and even talks about her friends. I love how Vickie will hold and hug my daughter and tell her that she is special and that she loves her. I feel so comfortable leaving my daughter in her care!

The sky was glowing pink Better pink than red, Al reminded us when we got scared again. As our grandfather liked to repeat, “the sun is red in the morning – the sailor is not to his liking; the sun is red in the evening – the sailor has nothing to fear. The cold wind picked up. Tears streamed down Al’s face, and I couldn’t stop shaking.

We held hands and walked towards the smell of the sea until the rows of high-rise buildings merged into one huge gloomy house where the killers of children lived. We didn’t see or hear anyone, as if we were back in the Land of Mirrors. Frightened, but unharmed.

Meanwhile, the smell of the sea grew stronger. The harbor smelled of grease, fuel oil, metal and salt. Seagulls woke up and crowed like roosters. We stopped near a dark wooden warehouse. In front of him were a crane from which a hook dangled from rusty chains, and a rocky slope that disappeared under the water.

The tide has come – the only time when you can go to the open sea.

El tightened her grip on my hand, and we looked around at the round buoys bobbing on the waves, the long pontoons, the white yachts with rattling iron masts, and the tanker on the horizon. Nothing suitable. We didn’t come here for this.

I rummaged through my backpack, took out my mother’s compact and dabbed Al’s cheeks.

“Your eyes are red,” I whispered.

“And you’re bleeding,” my sister reminded me in a hoarse voice, although I screamed more that night.

– What are you girls doing here in the middle of the night? In the blinding light of the lantern stood a stranger who looked exactly as Mom said: wrinkled, jagged, with a gray, shaggy beard. Old sea wolf.

“I am Ellis,” El said, and dug her nails into my arm, though her voice was as calm as harbor water. “This is my twin sister, Catherine.

– Yes, well?

The old man staggered closer and smelled of rum. I squared my shoulders bravely, trying to ignore my heart beating out of my chest.

– We are looking for a pirate ship – we want to join the team.

The stranger cursed – grandfather also used this word, although he preferred other expressions – and recoiled. His eyes were wide open, like on the ritual mask of the Grebo tribe from Côte d’Ivoire, in West Africa. We saw one in Grandpa’s encyclopedia.

– Stay here, don’t go anywhere!

– Is the ship sailing soon? El called after him, but he had already disappeared into the shadows of the warehouse.

The door creaked and slammed shut. El looked at me, coughed, and let go of my hand.

– Oh, Kat, we completely forgot about your sweater!

I was so frightened that I stopped breathing. Dropping her backpack, she threw off her coat and, with El’s help, she hurriedly pulled her sweater over her head, as if it were crawling with spiders. A wet rag fell on the stony ground, and I smelled a sour, warm smell.

– What are we going to do? El asked anxiously. – He’ll be back soon!

Sister ran around the warehouse, found a rusty mooring ring and began to tie a sweater to it, tightening the sleeves with sea knots. I rushed to help, although my frozen fingers almost did not obey. Throwing our cargo further into the turbulent waters of the harbor, El and I climbed the rocky slope, barely catching our breath and doing our best not to cry.

Suddenly the wind changed and pushed us off the edge. I smelled blood again, sour and dark.

“An experienced sailor will not leave the port on Friday,” I whispered.

– Today is Saturday, you fool! Al reminded me, squeezing my hand tightly.

But I knew that she was just as scared as I was, and I also wanted to return.

– Think we can handle it, Al?

We looked at the harbour, at the little island of Inchkit, at the tanker on the horizon. Shivering from the cold, they held hands and stood so close that they could hear the beating of each other’s hearts, and the sun slowly rose over the North Sea, flooding the sky with crimson. There was a wide, terrible smile on my sister’s face, which she held back as we wandered through the endless empty streets in the dark. Neither the siren, nor the creaking and slamming of the warehouse door could erase it. El continued to smile as if nothing had happened.

– We will never leave each other. Repeat!

“Never,” I whispered.

– As long as we are alive!

Footsteps were heard, someone swore loudly. The light of the lantern blinded us, and we no longer saw the harbor, only each other. El squeezed my hand even tighter and I swallowed nervously as I watched her smile harden and fade.

“We’ll take care of you,” another man assured, not the Old Sea Dog.

A woman with kind eyes and a less blinding flashlight stepped towards us, holding out her hand.

– Now everything will be fine!

That day our second life began.

PART I

Chapter 1

When my sister died, I was not with her.

Ross called, left a dozen voice messages, one more desperate than the other. I listened to a familiar voice that hadn’t changed a bit over the years, and I barely understood what he was talking about.

The tedious seven-hour wait at John F. Kennedy Airport is driving me crazy, and I turn on my laptop. I sit in a noisy bistro, forgetting my cheeseburger, and scroll through three reports on the BBC news site for Edinburgh, Fife and East Scotland. I guess I should be ashamed that the first thing I look at is a photo of Ross and only then at the bold headline: “Anxiety for missing woman from Leith grows.”

The first photo is captioned: “Day one, third of April”, although it is already night. The shot shows Ross striding along the low stone wall of the harbor between two silvery lampposts. He is clearly agitated: his shoulders are hunched, his fists are clenched. The photographer managed to capture the bright lights of the orange-and-blue rescue boat, Ross’s face turned to the frozen, furious wave crashing against the pier. In his messages, he mentioned that shortly after the disappearance of El, a storm broke out … You would think that I did not answer calls only because I did not know this terrible detail!
