County Kids Place 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 anddevelop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwestrainbow 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.
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!
Family Stories
“ I have no complaints about County Kids Place (CKP). I did a walk-through of the facility prior to my child being enrolled and was impressed by how clean the facility is and how friendly the staff are. Being a new mom, the staff has helped in making the transition from being at home and returning to work very easy. The staff at CKP are friendly, knowledgeable, patient, hardworking and communicate clearly. Since my child has been enrolled in CKP, she has shown noticeable developmental growth. The staff at CKP worked on areas that I am unable to while at work. Good job, CKP!

“ Where should I begin? I love this place! My boys have been attending County Kids Place since October. I was on a waiting list but well worth the wait. Starting with the directors Latrice and Edith they're awesome they keep me informed with any events! I love the Toddler class teachers Ms. Crystal and Ms. Liz. They are so sweet and always let me know how my son is doing on a daily basis. After a month they started putting him on the potty and he's doing great! Preschool teacher Ms. Cecy is so loving with my grouchy boy. She always keeps me updated as well. Now my oldest has moved on to Prekindergarten. Ms. Miriam and Ms. Gwen are so amazing and they make a great team. One is stern and one is a softy, and after a few day of him being in Prekindergarten, he's a lot more open and has a sense of maturity now that he's in the big kids class! I can not forget Ms. Karla in the morning, she always receives the boys with a big hug! All the teachers are great!
