Kids Kare Schools offers a Toddler Care option for children as young as 18 months at our Kids Kare West, Kids Kare River Bluff and Kids Kare Owens Ranch locations. Our Toddler Program is designed to help facilitate the establishment of close-knit relationships. Each child is paired with a specific teacher (who they will have every day ) with a ratio of 1 adult assigned to no more than 6 children. This practice gives the Toddler Teacher the ability to truly get to know their young students, and thus enables them to better understand their individual needs and preferences. As you know, toddlers are very inquisitive and just love learning new things! At Kids Kare, early math and science skills are awakened through various activities using colors, sorting and counting, as well as projects that involve mixing, measuring and pouring. Our use of books, storyboards and fun finger-play encourage early reading skills while reinforcing small motor development. These daily happenings, along with music, movement activities and arts and crafts will provide your toddler great "Fun while Learning!"

Our all day preschool education program "Fun While Learning" runs year round. This kindergarten readiness program, developed by our Program Director, is constantly being updated with the latest in quality standards. We utilize the pre-kindergarten standards of the Fresno, Clovis and Madera Unified School Districts, as well as provide progress reports twice a year to help assess kindergarten readiness. Our curriculum includes a full phonics program emphasizing reading awareness and writing skills along with sight words in easy-to-understand lessons. Math and science activities are also introduced, incorporating shapes, colors, numbers, simple math and hands-on experimentation with natural sciences. Our curriculum is rounded out with lessons in history and cultures, music, movement, physical education and arts and crafts. All aspects of our program are presented through visual aids including iPads, storyboards, finger plays, poems, puppets, books, class discussions and our hands-on computer labs. By incorporating field trips to local areas of interest that correspond with our studies, we bring our themes out of the book and into a “real world” setting. Character development is addressed stressing honesty, respect, trustworthiness and kindness, thus helping prepare the children for elementary school programs such as “Character Counts."

We offer fun, structured educational activities that mirror the curriculum at your child’s elementary school, thus reinforcing what they’re currently learning in kindergarten.
