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.

Ballantyne 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.

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.

Weekday Preschool Overview

Guided by rigorous standards, Covenant Preschool’s early childhood program assures you that your child is thriving in an attentive learning environment that encourages them to develop physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally.

We also encourage the development of a child’s faith. Children participate in monthly chapel services, blessings at snack time and age-appropriate Bible stories. They are taught to appreciate God’s creation and themselves as God’s children. Many opportunities exist at Covenant to share God’s love through community outreach. We participate in mission projects that include lunches for Covenant’s Room in the Inn guests, donations to Loaves & Fishes and our Christmas Giving Tree.  We do this all with a family-oriented philosophy that encourages parents and caregivers to observe and participate in their child’s development. Join us!

Schedule and Hours
Our program operates on a September to May calendar.  We generally observe the same holiday schedule as public schools and utilize some of the Teacher Work Days.

Children are dropped off in their classrooms at 9 a.m. Pick-up is at 12:30 p.m.  
Preschoolers bring their lunch to school every day. 
The office is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

The Creative Curriculum to guide their planning, observations and assessments. The Creative Curriculum is a content rich program that supports active learning, creativity and promotes children’s progress in all developmental areas.

The Creative Curriculum:

• Is comprehensive and rigorously researched
• Is based on 38 Goals and Objectives that are aligned with state and national standards and guidelines
• Enables every child to develop creativity, confidence and critical thinking skills.
• Promotes children’s progress in all areas of development and learning; Social-Emotional, Physical, Cognitive, Language, Literacy, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and the Arts

Enrichment activities

Covenant Preschool offers a variety of enrichment activities, including music, art,  and occasional field trips.

Toddlers through threes participate in weekly music and movement class while the fours and fives participate in music with Bold Music with Mr. Eric and Ms Tameka on alternating weeks. All Children are visited by Kevin Harper our Recreation Ministry Director on a regular basis for gym time.  Threes, fours and fives visit our beautiful, light filled Art Studio weekly to experiment with light, color and texture as well as woodworking fun. 

Field Trips

During this day and time, field trips will be planned when it is safe and appropriate to do so.  In a normal year, the Older preschoolers (4’s and 5’s) enjoy year round field trips.  They may visit local businesses, Imaginon, WIng Haven, The Nature Museum or other areas of interest.  Children in the threes classes and younger do no leave school, but we often welcome special visitors who share hobbies and jobs with them.  The Preschool is always open to suggestions from parents regarding possible classroom excursions or visitors.  Parents may be asked to transport children for field trips.  

Playgrounds

Covenant has three state-of-the-art outdoor playgrounds. Our youngest classes have direct access to their own playground from their classrooms. During inclement weather, indoor playground equipment is set up on the gym floor in the church Recreation Wing.

Music and Movement

Each week, all students have music and movement class to sing, dance and play musical instruments while developing their self-esteem, expressing their feelings and learning to follow directions. Our program is tailored to meet the needs of the children rather than expecting children to adjust to the demands of a specific program.

Art Studio

The Art Studio at Covenant Presbyterian Preschool offers multi-dimensional art opportunities for our children that go a step further than the artwork that is done in the classroom.  The light-filled space allows children to experiment with paint mixing, light and reflection, patterns and woodworking.

Gym TIme

Kevin Harper, our Recreation Ministry Director, provides stretching, exercise, manipulative skills and cooperative games for all students on a regular basis throughout the year.

Charlotte is the largest city in the state of North Carolina, located in the vast foothill plateau of the southeastern United States. In the City of the Queen (that’s what the locals call it) there are many enterprises from the rating of the largest American companies, for example, specializing in financial activities. The city is also known for its developed cultural life, as museums, galleries and a theme park are concentrated here, as well as the University of North Carolina. Charlotte is a very green city, for which it has received awards more than once.

The climate is humid subtropical with four distinct seasons. In summer, the weather here is hot, the air temperature reaches +32°С, and there is a large amount of precipitation. The winter is mild, sometimes there are frosts, the air temperature in January usually ranges from -1°С to +11°С.

Now there are several ways to get to Seattle. Among them, the most convenient option is a plane with transfers in Istanbul and American cities. Charlotte is crossed by two major highways, I-85 and I-77, as well as an Amtrak train station.

The city’s subway system is being replaced by two light rail lines.

Charlotte

Charlotte is a city of money and motorsport

In the US state of North Carolina there is a city Charlotte (with the accent on the first syllable), with which two errors are associated with Russian speakers. Firstly, it is often called in the Russian manner – Charlotte, and secondly, it is considered the main city, the capital of the state. Although in fact, Charlotte is not the capital (the capital is Raleigh), but the largest city in North Carolina.

State: North Carolina

Founded: 1768

Population: 827 097 people

Nickname: The Queen City, The Hornet’s Nest

90 021 A bit of history and geography of the city of Charlotte

City Charlotte (Charlotte ) is located in the southeastern part of the United States, almost on the border of North and South Carolina. It’s funny, but its remote, southern suburbs are already in a neighboring state. The settlement arose in the 18th century, at the intersection of historical routes connecting the North of the country with the South, and the Center with the Atlantic coast. These trade routes were used by the Indians even before the arrival of European settlers.

The city and its environs have a pronounced subtropical climate: mild, but with rare frosts, winters, hot and rainy summers. The least precipitation falls in the first half of spring and autumn.

Charlotte founded predominantly by Protestants, and remained so for a long time. And although now the confessional composition of its population has become much more colorful, Protestant, especially Baptist, churches have significant influence here. Suffice it to say that the city is the birthplace of prominent religious figure Billy Graham.

The city “borrowed” its name from the German princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg. But at the time when the new city was named after her, Charlotte was already the wife of the English king.

Now about 827 thousand people live in the city, and almost twice as many in the suburbs.

You won’t get bored in Charlotte

As in its youth, Charlotte plays the role of an important transport hub. Suffice it to say that until now its center is considered the intersection of Trade and Tryon streets, where trade routes crossed in the old days, and the city’s international airport is one of the ten largest American “air gates”.

However, the basis of stability and prosperity in Charlotte was not transportation, but finance. The city, since the middle of the last century, has gained fame as the country’s second financial center after New York. For this, it is sometimes jokingly called the “little apple”.

The financial world makes itself felt in Charlotte at every turn. Next to the mentioned historical crossroads stands a huge modern glass building, the tallest in the city (265 meters). This is is the headquarters of Bank of America, the largest in the country. The city streets are full of “white collars”, especially in the business part, the so-called uptown. There are many offices and financial institutions here.

It should be noted that the central quarters, sparkling with glass and metal, are separated from the rest of the city by a kind of belt of parks and squares. Charlotte is a very green and well-kept city, even by American standards. Apparently, in this craving for nature, for order and cleanliness, his Protestant character is manifested.

In addition to the financial sector, the citizens are very proud of their love of motor racing. 20 kilometers from the city center, in the Concord area, is the world famous motorsport stadium Charlotte Motor Speedway. It hosts world-class auto racing and is run by NASCAR, the national association of stock car manufacturers. In the city center, NASCAR opened a grandiose exhibition center, the Hall of Fame. It is worth a visit, if only for the amazing ultra-modern design of the building.

In general, there are many museums and exhibition halls in Charlotte, and it is not for nothing that about 25 million tourists visit the city every year. Among the museums, perhaps, Discovery Place stands out, an amazing realm of scientific and technological achievements. Here the eyes are rounded in children and adults! The huge halls of the museum are completely different from the museum rooms we are used to. Many of his exhibitions are interactive, full of active exhibits.

Other museums worth noting are Museum of Contemporary Art and the most interesting Aviation Museum , close to the city airport.

In the central part of the city, the traveler will find an entire entertainment district under the name “Epicenter”. By the way, you can get here by the so-called “light metro”, in fact – a modern high-speed tram, the lines of which are being built up in the city at a rapid pace. The quarter is filled with various entertainment clubs, restaurants and cafes. Active life in the quarter does not stop day or night.

Visiting a modern IMAX cinema with a spherical screen leaves an unforgettable experience. In the field of view of the visitor there will not be a single centimeter of the area where there would be no image!

Some 50 years ago in the city, and in the state as a whole, there was an acute problem of racial segregation.
