KidKare KinderKids Preschool Care
Full day care program for children ages 3 - 5 not yet in school. (Must be fully potty trained.) Our staff teach theme based activities that include social and emotional skills, academic readiness, art and science, and learning through play. We offer flexible scheduling with half day care, full day care and care that wraps around your child's Bison Preschool class.
A potty trained child is a child who is independently able to do the following: Tell an adult they have to go potty before they have to go. Pull down their underwear and pants and get them back up without assistance. Get on and off the toilet by themselves. Wipe themselves after using the toilet. Wash and dry their own hands. Postpone for going if they must wait for someone who is in the bathroom or if we are outside and away from the bathroom.
