Our childcare is run like a home not a center. We keep things warm and personal so every child feels comfortable and happy. The group is small which means each child gets one on one attention and grows at their own pace. We cook fresh homemade food every day made with care and hygiene. We keep everything clean organized and safe so parents don’t have to worry. We spend time on simple activities that match each child’s age things like music stories drawing sensory play and outdoor time when the weather is nice. Children also get gentle support with potty training using patience and routine. We believe nature is important so we let children explore outside and connect with the environment even in small ways. No deposit is needed to join and we offer holiday discounts to help working parents. Our goal is to make children feel safe healthy and loved while they learn and grow just like they would at home!

Care Member says "Teacher is the best in her field. She brings her extensive experience to her classroom. My toddler is always looking forward to come to her daycare. "

Our intimate home-based learning environment is specifically designed to meet the needs of young children ages 15 months to 5 years.

We strive to bring out the heart of a child to build and develop a strong foundation of confidence, self-esteem, independence, creativity and imagination. Kidland's mission is to partner with families to establish patterns of life-long development during a child's most formative years. In order to do this we have created the best environment possible with a great place, healthy home cooked food and a custom curriculum using the top learning resources and curricula available to deliver an all-encompassing experience.
