We are very proud to announce that our Riverside Drive center has been awarded the Star III rating in the "Step Up To Quality" program, effective March 2012. 

 

The Star 3 has only been achieved by 20% of all Star-rated programs, this is the highest award given by the program. 

 

We are also very proud to say that during the summer of 2011 our King Avenue center was awarded the Star II rating in the "Step Up To Quality" program and have received this award for the past three years.  Visit the Step Up To Quality website found in the "About Us" section of this webpage.

Our lead preschool teacher at our Riverside Drive center, Mrs. Kausar Waheed, was a double award winner in 2011.  She was awarded the Golden Apple by the Upper Arlington Civic Association and awarded as the Best Preschool Teacher in Franklin Country from the Columbus Association for the Education of Your Children.

Registration Process

First step towards enrolling your child at our center, is to contact us to schedule a tour.

Next, come in for an observation of the room with the opportunity to speak with the teachers and ask any questions you may have. 

When you decide that we are the childcare facility for you, let us know so we can send you a registration fee and deposit fee invoice.  Once this invoice is paid, your child(ren) will have a spot reserved at the center of your choice.  This choice must be made prior to touring our center, however there might be some flexibility.

Next, after your child has a secured spot in our center, your child(ren) will need to come in to visit their group (about two or three times) by themselves for a few hours each visit. 

Finally, schedule another appointment with the director to go over our registration packet.

These are the steps to enroll your child in our center.  Once these steps are completed, and we've all agreed on your child(ren)'s start date, and this date arrives, your child will now be a valued member of the Kare-A-Lot family.

Congratulations, and we look forward to watching your child(ren) grow into a great school ager!
