Conscious Discipline

Conscious Discipline provides children with a nurturing and emotionally supportive environment that fosters social and emotional development. Through this approach, young learners develop essential life skills such as self-regulation, empathy, and problem-solving, setting a strong foundation for future academic success and lifelong well-being.

Play-Based

Play-based learning offers children a unique and valuable opportunity to explore, experiment, and discover in a fun and interactive way. By engaging in imaginative and hands-on activities, children develop critical cognitive, social, and emotional skills, fostering creativity, problem-solving abilities, and a lifelong love for learning. We provide 60 minutes of active play daily and provide topics to engage the learning.

Our Curriculum

Kiddie Care Learning Center currently uses Opening the World of Learning. This comprehensive curriculum covers all domains of early learning. This content of each unit is built around a carefully crafted daily routine within an activity-centered day. Themes, skills, and concepts are developed through quality children’s fiction and nonfiction trade books. The consistent format and features in every unit make it easy for teachers to use and children to learn.

Fun While Learning

It’s a fact: children learn better when they are engaged. Our approach is based on widely accepted research that indicates that children experience the most profound, most genuine learning when having fun. Highly trained teachers foster the cognitive and social development of each child by lovingly guiding the class through play-based activities. Young children who learn through play can make their own decisions, advocate for themselves, and use creativity to solve problems as they grow.
