Hi! My name is Karen Nguenti and I have been working in Early Childhood Education since 1989. I have worked in every aspect of this business and still have the same passion for children that I have always had. I believe children are incredible, and I am privileged to be a part of a child’s life even if it is just for a moment.
Our proprietary PA curriculum fully integrates music, dance, and theater into our age appropriate development standards through classes and Broadway style productions.
Keeping our children safe is our top priority and we take it very seriously. Our schools are sanitized daily and comprehensive safety protocols have been implemented.
Learning Through Life Experiences allows a child’s learning to become experimental, imaginative and sensory based. Our pedagogical approach is to learn through these real life experiences, such as emergency services, health and nutrition, etc.
Our children are continuously nurtured by exceptional teachers and caregivers along with age appropriate educational materials for kinesthetic, audial, visual, and touch learners.
Our children exceed the entry level academic expectations of elementary schools in the community so that they are well prepared for their transition into their next phase of learning.
In this class we brighten up the world by helping our youngest children discover their senses, explore their surroundings, nurture their development and celebrate their milestones. From one-on-one interactions that help build nurturing relationships in everyday moments to age-appropriate books to support speech and language development, our classrooms provide the ideal setting for the youngest children. We are also encouraging children to work on finger painting, music, and pretend play to spark creativity while also exposing them to structures to help with perceptual motor development. When children leave this classroom they will have a Brighter Beginning to the world around them.
Our classroom provides an ideal environment to foster individual development and self-help skills. We use a scaffolded approach to learning through systematically building on students’ experiences and knowledge as they are acquiring new skills in order to enhance learning and aid in the mastery of tasks. Their curious minds are exposed to an enriched curriculum focusing on language development by using pictures, books and basic academics in their environment. Following simple instructions is implemented through circle time, story time, art, and curriculum projects. Besides the social, emotional development, we also focus on developing fine motor skills through fun and sensory activities. Our Little Explorers are ready to put to practice their newfound independence by exploring their surroundings as they come with a Brighter understanding of their world around them.
Our kindergarten curriculum focuses on developing foundational skills that prepare students for later learning in the areas of math, science, social studies and language arts.
Building Kidz is absolutely fantastic! Both my kids started here at 4-5 months and loved all the teachers. They've both learned so much. My oldest just started kindergarten at a public school and I have to say that BK prepared her so well for it. She is doing amazingly well because of all she learned at BK! My youngest is still in the toddler room and loves the music classes. The teachers are all so loving, understanding and willing to listen to any of your concerns. The director, Karen and the owner, Sangita are just wonderful at running this daycare and preschool. Communication is always great and the BK app is so helpful to get a peek at how your kids are doing during the day. Thank you, BK for taking such good care of my kids!
This place is fantastic. Teachers and staff are loving and caring and very easy to work with. My daughter was nervous when we started, and everyone helped ensure she was comfortable and helped build up her confidence. I love that they introduce music, dance and have performances. I ended up keeping my daughter there for kindergarten, which was one of the best things I could have done. Small classes (compared to the 27 kids in public) taught her everything she needed to prepare for 1st grade. I recommend them to all of my friends.
I cannot say enough good things about Building Kidz and the wonderful teachers that provided my son with a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment over the last 5 years.
From the moment my child began as an infant, to graduating TK, I cannot express enough gratitude for the love and care they afforded my child and ensured he developed the necessary skills to be successful as he continues the next steps in his education journey.
No preschool or daycare is going to be perfect. Given all the obstacles everyone has experienced over the last couple years, Sangita and the school did an incredible job to pivot and ensure the kids came first without sacrificing valuable learning.
Thank you to Sangita, Myrna, Rosa, Mirna, Rola and all the other amazing teachers at Building Kidz Concord, we will always be grateful to you!
My son has been at Building Kidz for about a year and a half, since he was 6 months old, and we have truly loved our time there! The teachers are so caring and attentive - they post regularly through an app to let us know how he is doing throughout the day/post pictures/etc. and are always available to answer questions. Sangitah and Karen have also always been beyond helpful and lovely. We have also truly appreciated their provided lunches, safety protocols, and frequent updates on the goings on at the school.
Honestly cannot recommend Building Kidz of Concord enough!
