About the Provider
The staff at University KinderCare welcomes new families. We take pride in the sound of laughter that rings throughout the center daily from the children and staff. The center offers a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the building. The children come in the morning and are reluctant to go home at the end of the day. Parents have said “ I know that my child is in a fun and safe environment when they do not want to leave at night”. The staff specializes in and accepts children from six weeks to six years of age and have a strong focus in early childhood education.
