The kindergarten program at Building Kidz School

Kindergarten Program

The pre-kindergarten classroom provides experiences for children between the ages of four to five years of age.  At this age our primary focus is consistency and routine.  Your child will feel safe and secure with a predictable, consistent daily schedule in place, similar to a school setting.  They will know what activity comes next and what our expectations are for each activity, which will help them learn more!

The school-age program at Building Kidz School

School Age Program

The preschool classroom provides experiences for children between the ages of two and three years of age.  Our program is based on the philosophy of learning through PLAY, with the implementation of activities which support the children’s interests and development.  They will explore the world around them with the materials and experiences provided to them throughout the day.  During this age, we typically begin the toilet training process and to gradually accomplish independent toileting skills.  It is a big step in each child’s life and should be approached with patience and care as well as strong partnership with parents.

Parent Testimonials

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this perfect establishment. Lalli and Papa Joe greet us outside each and every day ready to love our daughter. She babbles about them everyday. She’s so loved, just so loved. It’s so hard to find a place that feels like you’re dropping your child off every morning with her grandparents that love her, but this amazing place feels exactly like that. Outside of the loving environment, they craft, Create home cooked meals, have the most adorable weekly activities and help our daughter grow. I’m so thankful everyday that we found this little gem.

The staff are all extremely loving, warm and welcoming to the children/babies and families alike.

We needed daycare for my niece that I was taking care of. We looked at only a few because when we toured Lallipop Daycare we knew it was the one for us. Boy were we right. PapaJoe, Marriam, Robin and all the other teachers are loving, patient and just so caring for the little ones they are teaching and responsible for. My little niece has had a tough start but she would come home from “school” everyday and we would sing and dance to what she learned during the day. She loved it. I would highly recommend.
