Child care
A Safe Place for Children The Kalamazoo Drop-In Child Care Center (KDCCC) was established to provide free, short-term child care for low-income families with children from six weeks through the age of five. The objectives of our service are to enable parents with young children to more rapidly negotiate the maze of appointments and services often required to obtain employment, permanent housing, register for school or attend classes and eventual self-sufficiency. We also give parents a "healthy" break from the demands of parenting. We have created a warm, safe, and supportive environment for children and their parents. KDCCC is open Monday through Friday from 11am to 3pm. Parents may stop down and register anytime during these hours. Space is limited to 20 children per day but once parents register their children, they may reserve spots up to 2 weeks in advance. Please see our Parent Handbook for more information about registering a child. Providing Quality Care for 25 Years KDCCC began in 1990 as a mission project of the First Congregational Church, U.C.C. and is a non-profit organization located in the church building. The Center, however, does not provide religious instruction. KDCCC has its own board of directors with a structure that provide a balanced link so that the FCC can monitor the use of its facilities while the Center operates independently. KDCCC is a fully licensed child care center. KDCCC is the only free drop-in child care in the greater Kalamazoo area.

New Wonders Discovery Center

7000 Stadium Drive Kalamazoo, MI

Infant Program: Our infants have a "primary" caregiver who centers their day around each baby's individual schedule. Every moment of an infant's day offers opportunities for learning. They are able to view the world from many different angles that include: crawling, being carried, stroller rides, outdoor play, climbing and rocking. Diaper changing, feeding, and other routines are viewed as "prime times" for communication, self discovery, socializing, and building trust. Our infant teachers also understand each infant's developmental needs and offer fun and often messy sensory activities!! We are happy to "Treasure each New Wonder"! Toddler Program: In planning a program for toddlers, our teachers understand that toddlers learn with their whole bodies and they are prepared to be flexible and spontaneous! Toddlers are eager to try new things and discover their world on a physical level through large muscle activities and planned curriculum. Toddlers are working on becoming autonomous and learning how to control their impulses and behaviors. Our teachers will allow opportunities for toddlers to be responsible and make choices but will also know when to limit certain behaviors with patience and warmth. The introduction of colors, shapes, numbers and letters will begin along with activities that develop their social-emotional growth. Our job is to " Encourage New Discoveries"! Young Preschool - Young 5's Program: &#65279; Preschoolers are curious, imaginative and happy to cooperate in their learning experiences. Our teachers understand the need to balance academic activities (preparing children ages 3-6 for Kindergarten) with experiences that allow children to investigate and explore the world around them. Our curriculum is written and developed to establish building blocks through the preschool years and fully prepare children for Kindergarten. Our teachers use assessments and conferences with parents to help them meet each child's learning needs. We incorporate language & literacy, math, science, and social studies experiences along with music, art and other creative activities. Children also need loving support as they learn how to follow directions, interact with others, and develop independence. We are excited to have the opportunity to "Inspire New Learners"! Coming in the near future!! School Age Program: This program will provide an enriching environment for children ages 7 - 12. We will provide before and after school care, a summer program, and full day care when public schools are closed for snow days or inservice events. Our teachers understand and address the interests and developmental levels of this age group with challenging activities and offer the freedom to learn about what interests them.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Kalamazoo, MI

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Kalamazoo, MI. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Kalamazoo, MI for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Kalamazoo, MI, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Kalamazoo, MI.

When looking for a preschool near you in Kalamazoo, MI on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
