Our Programs

Paths to Qualtiy level 3

We implement a planned curriculum focused on school readiness. Our specialized learning activities, trained staff, and family engagement events promote child development.

Kendallville Day Care Center is the only state-licensed childcare center on the east side of Noble County, Indiana. That means we are held to a strict standard of health and safety for the children we serve.

Our teachers have gained specialized knowledge in child development, enabling them to create safe, nurturing environments that boost cognitive, social, and emotional growth.

Our center is inclusive for neurodivergent children, which fosters emotional well-being, improves social development, and boosts academic outcomes by providing a supportive, diverse environment
