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.

Wellington 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.

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.

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.

Family Stories

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!

  • Pam is a wonderful teacher for our five-month-old little angel, but she is not just her teacher, she’s part of the family. Pam has been her teacher since she was three months old. Pam loves all the little ones under her care and she shows it. Pam loves to watch our little one develop and grow and gets as excited about reached milestones as we do. Pam also is very engaged with the babies doing art work, playing, and getting them to laugh and smile. One thing that I really love about Pam is that even with all the demands of caring for several babies she is always on top of everyone’s schedule and knows their needs almost before they do. I never have to worry when Pam is in command. I know my baby will be loved and promptly cared for. Recently, we switched from disposable diapers to cloth diapers and Pam has made that a smooth transition which was a pleasant surprise. My favorite part of my day is talking to Pam at drop off and pickup because that is when I get to hear all about my daughter’s day. I love to hear what shes been up to and informed of any concerns as well so I can be as up to date as possible to care for her when I get home. I can’t say enough good things about Pam.

    Emily A. – KinderCare Parent
  • As a new first-time mom, finding a place that would love and nurture my infant was very important to me. I was looking for the perfect fit for daycare and I found them all at the KinderCare on Wellington. I love the communication I have with the staff and administration. I really appreciate the care and compassion that Ms. Dotson, the center director, and the fellow teachers (Sara, Pam, Carolyn, Tanya, and Kim) share for each child. I feel my daughter is safe, loved, and is provided the best environment for her development. Her wonderful teachers helped me so much with transitioning as a stay-at-home mom to a full-time working one. They helped me put my daughter on a schedule, which was such a big help at home. I love seeing the daily changes in the way my little one interacts with her teachers and fellow children. She has become so much more independent through this positive and nurturing environment. I am so happy here and am so thankful for all of them.

    Jessica S. – KinderCare Parent
  • I don’t typically do things like this, but I wanted to give a special shout out to the center director at Wellington KinderCare and the rest of the staff. Ms. Pam is a delight and is always welcoming when we walk through the door. She is always there to answer any questions or concerns we may have. For example, a recent billing issue was cleared up right away due to her diligence.

    Our son has been in a KinderCare center since he was six weeks old. He is now two and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend our center to anyone with a child needing daytime care. Our son’s classroom is always clean and well kept and the instructors are always thrilled to see him. Ms. Kim, Ms. Katie, and Ms. Sandy were great teachers to have for his first two years and so far we like his toddler and preschool teachers just as much. Sometimes I think he enjoys going to “school” more than he likes being at home. 

    Robert B. – KinderCare Parent

Beef Wellington

Beef Wellington or beef Wellington is an English dish that will be the highlight of any festive table.

Classic Wellington is made from beef tenderloin: beef is baked in puff pastry. Beef tenderloin is usually baked as a whole bar, like roast beef. Sometimes the dish is prepared in portions in the form of pies or a roll with ground beef is formed. To add juiciness and extra flavor to the dish, wellington is seasoned with spices, mushrooms, ham or ham, vegetables and broth are added, and served with sauce.

The origin of the name of the dish has nothing to do with the name of the English Duke of Wellington. By the time the Duke of Wellington rose to fame at the Battle of Waterloo, meat baked in dough was already a part of English cuisine. By the way, in French cuisine since time immemorial there has been an analogue of English Wellington – beef fillet in dough (French filet de bœuf en croûte). There is a version that the dish was invented in the capital of New Zealand, Wellington, from where it migrated to Europe and America. Wellington meat was first mentioned by the Los Angeles Times as “beef fillet à la Wellington” at 1903, but the dish itself, as such, was described only in 1939 in the New York food guide: Wellington Beef Tenderloin is cooled after cooking, and then baked in a crispy crust of dough like a pie.

By the way, under the name “Wellington” are also known other dishes of lamb, sausages, chicken or turkey and fish baked in dough.

Beef Wellington is considered to be a very difficult dish to prepare. In fact, cooking it is no more difficult than the same roast beef or meat pie. Certain skill, of course, is needed, but even a not very experienced hostess can cook beef wellington if you follow the recipe exactly.

Before Waterloo, I thought Wellington had a talent

mistake from me
not a single Englishman would escape. Wellington owes its success to
