Our School Programs

Infant Program

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.

Toddler Program

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.

Parent Testimonials

Our family LOVES Building Kidz School. We are so happy to find a center that's meets all of our expectations! We love their low teacher:student ratio and structured day with fun activities. My child has already learned so many new skills at the center. The school also uses The Brightwheel app which lets me follow my child's day. The teachers and staff have been nothing but amazing to us and very flexible. I would recommend this center to all families!

About Building Kidz of Louisville

Our goal is to be one of the best preschools in Louisville, KY, providing high-quality childcare and innovative, hands-on learning experiences for our clients’ children. Our center cares for up to 65 children and we focus on developing close-knit relationships between the children and nurturing teachers.

Our teaching staff will facilitate learning opportunities and support children through scaffolding, a method that enables students to solve a problem, carry out a task, or achieve a goal through a gradual reduction of outside assistance. Our teachers will understand the concept of the Emergent Curriculum and be open and able to introduce children to the performing arts as part of that curriculum.

Our curriculum makes use of performing arts activities, exercises, and training methods as part of developing “the whole child:” intellectually, physically, socially, and emotionally.
