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.

Farmington Hills 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.

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.

Kents Hill School (Private School Kents Hill School) (Reedfield, Maine, USA) – how to enter, prices, reviews

• Founded: in 1824
• Age of students: from 14 to 18 years old
• Number of students: 220 (foreigners – 25%)
• Type of education: joint (blended)
• Type of accommodation: residence (boarding house)
• Language: English.

Kents Hill School (KHS) is one of the oldest, most prestigious and respected boarding schools in the United States. The educational institution was founded in 1824, but today it is a progressive institution that combines traditional methods with an innovative approach, supported by modern technological equipment. The percentage ratio of the number of students to the number of teachers is 6:1. The school maintains an international environment, so every fourth student of the school is a foreigner.

The main objective of the KHS school is to ensure academic progress for students of various levels of preparation: for this, students study in small study groups from 6 to 16 people, which helps the teacher to give the necessary amount of attention to each student. Also, each student has a scientific curator with whom he works during the academic year (6-8 students per teacher).

Kents Hill School honors include the Siemens Foundation Award, which recognizes the high quality of science and mathematics programs at an educational institution. The school is also proud of one of its educators: David Pearson, who won the Harvard Singer Prizes Middle School Teacher Award. The prestigious award is given at the conclusion of a special board of observers from Harvard University.

ICE and DHS used a fake university to catch migrants

340 people were arrested with it in 2019. Almost all of them have already been deported

A student visa to the USA is one of the ways to legally live in America. True, it has many limitations, one of which is the need to study, study and study again.

90 students were detained by ICE and DHS in November 2019, 250 more earlier, from January to July 2019. Thus, 60% of the students of a university that never really existed are in Michigan immigration prisons or have already been deported to their homeland.

Of the 250 students arrested, “almost 80% signed a deportation agreement and left the United States voluntarily,” ICE’s Homeland Security Investigation Division said in a statement. The remaining 20% ​​are either still trying to prove that they have the right to stay in the US or were expelled from the country in a different way.

It is known that one of those arrested was able to achieve the status of “political refugee”.
At least two more of those who agreed to leave the US were unable to obtain US visas again.

Almost all students came to the US from India. And only one arrested was sent back to Palestine.

US student visa: fake alma mater created by ICE and DHS

Fake university

The building pictured above is located at 30500 Northwest Highway (Farmington Hills). This is the fake campus of the University of Farmington set up by federal agents from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Investigation Division, which in turn is part of the DHS. The building was manned by undercover ICE and DHS agents posing as university employees.

The University started its work at the end of 2015.

“At the University of Farmington, we have created an innovative learning environment that combines traditional learning with full-time employment. We offer flexible class schedules and focus on students who do not want to interrupt their careers,” the university described on the website. In addition, it was listed as a “Nationally Accredited Educational Institution Authorized by the US Department of Homeland Security to Admit Foreign Students” in the US College Registry.

Immigrants were literally lured into the university, which allegedly prepared specialists in the field of technology and computer science.

The truth was revealed on January 30, 2019, and the arrests began at the same time.

Today, federal prosecutors claim that all 600+ students studying at the university knew that the university was a fake, and that they only pay for the opportunity to have a student visa in their passport. But former students and their lawyers disagree.

After all, the Department of Homeland Security didn’t just register the University of Farmington as an educational institution. At their request, the National Accreditation Agency included the University of Farmington in the list of accredited in the United States to work with foreigners.

The institutions were also listed by federal investigators on the ICE website as a university approved by them under the state program for international students known as SEVIS (Student and Exchange Student Program).

“It is clear that the government has set up a scheme not to prosecute lawbreakers, but to create fear in our immigration system,” said Amer Zar, a law professor at the University of Detroit-Mercy and a spokesman for one of the detained students. “They are after students who are trying to improve their lives because America has the best education. Here’s who they choose. It’s really disturbing.”

Lawyers for the arrested students say that the US government had no right to organize such a trap, because by all accounts the university had the right to work with foreign students.

Many students have entered the university through a program known as Curricular Practical Training (CPT), which allows students to work in the US under the F-1 visa program for international students. Some have moved to the University of Farmington from other universities that have lost their accreditation, which means they are no longer eligible to be in the US.

By the way, some of those who changed their former university to the University of Farmington and did not even have time to deal with the lack of classes were also arrested.

The US “trapped vulnerable people who just wanted to keep (legal immigration) status,” Rahul Reddy, a Texas lawyer who represented some of the arrested students, told Free Press. “They’re hunting them.”

US student visa: expensive and annoying – ICE and DHS know their stuff…

The bogus university is believed to have collected millions of dollars for its services: average university tuition was about $12,000 per year, graduate tuition was $2,500 per quarter.

But so far no one has filed a lawsuit against the US government, demanding the return of money for “training”.

Lawyers for ICE and the Department of Justice argue that students should have known that this is not a real university and therefore their student visa is a fake, because it did not have classes at all.

“Their true intention couldn’t be clearer. Being enrolled “at the University”, 100% of foreign students have never spent a single second in the classroom. If it was about getting an education, the University would have teachers, classes, educational services … ”, – this is how Federal Attorney Baker commented on the situation. And he noted that this case should be the first, but not the last, they say, it is high time to sort out the situation with student visas.

ICE agents recruited existing university students to look for more and more students.

One such intermediary, Rampea, entered the US legally on a student visa. In 2016, he received his Master’s degree in Computer Science from Northwestern Polytechnic University. However, had to look for a way to extend his visa after graduation. So he found the same university in Michigan. He spent $40,000 to “study” there. For new students, the university “paid” him with “loans”.

“He was desperate to find a way to stay in the United States,” Rampei’s lawyer said in her closing speech in court. “I wanted to get a PhD in computer science.”

In response, Assistant US Attorney Baker stated that Rampea “knew it was a fake and that it was just there to maintain status.”

from this is what the University website page now looks like

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has already taken down the University of Farmington website, which was also set up for a sting operation. Now it only bears the logos of some divisions of the Department of Homeland Security and the inscription: “The University of Farmington has been closed by the US Department of Homeland Security, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Affected students should contact their local Department of Homeland Security office.
