Our Mission

Our mission is to provide challenging, fun, and age-appropriate learning experiences to young children in a safe and healthful environment.  We believe that all young children are unique and we believe that every child develops at his/her own pace. We offer hands-on approach because children learn better by doing.  We believe that learning is a life-long process, that good teachers facilitate learning experiences in fun and challenging ways.  We believe that the family is an integral component of the learning experience.  We believe that trained parents will support our efforts as teachers and care givers. We offer support parent training programs.  We believe that each teacher is unique in their teaching style. We support and offer staff development programs. We encourage each teacher to develop their own experiences in their classrooms.  We believe that strong early childhood education programs must be financially stable and managed effectively and efficiently.

Kare-A-Lot's Fresh Food Fridays in 2013!

Kare-A-Lot has much to celebrate this new year! For over 29 years Kare-A-Lot has been offering a safe, caring and nurturing environment for children. Since January 2011, we have enhanced our care with practicing good nutrition.  Our food program went FRESH!  We introduced Fresh Fruit Fridays where we incorporate homemade foods into our menus and curriculum. We reviewed our snack menu to reduce the amount of crackers we serve and have eliminated all juices.  We serve a different fresh fruit every day of the week.
