Building dreams for the future
Infants
Kountry Kids focuses on keep your baby happy, engaged, and secure.
We personalize care for each infant based on his or her unique schedule, and nutritional guidelines.Our infant teachers use and teach basic infant sign language. These symbolic gestures are a form of communication that children adopt before they develop the ability to produce spoken language. This includes pointing to what they want or using a hand motion in conjunction with a word which allows greater communication for infants. Earlier communication can provide psychological benefits, such as enhanced confidence and self-esteem. Babies and young children feel better about themselves when they are able to effectively communicate with the people around them. Parents and Teachers are also more confident when they are able to meet their child's needs and wants. Most babies are not able to sign until they are about 8 months old, but we can start teaching them and exposing them to this form of communication earlier on.
Toddlers
They’re on the move! Energy and excitement are a natural part of growth and learning. We have a safe (and fun!) environment for toddlers to explore. Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day.
Discovering Two's
Their world is opening up, so we bring a world of learning to them! This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton of books and toys and bring their artwork down to kids eye level. Children in discovery preschool also begin to learn the basic building blocks of how we all work together in a classroom.
Preschool
Welcome to preschool, where we get them ready for what comes next … “big kid school!”
This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step: kindergarten!

Our Approach
The first five years of your child’s life are a crucial window of opportunity. Within those formative years, their cognitive, social, physical, and emotional development will set the path for their life’s journey.
We’re here to make sure that journey is as rich and rewarding as possible! The moment your child arrives in our classrooms, it’s time to thrive! From outdoor time, to reading time, to snack time, everything they’ll do reflects our research-based curriculum that builds a strong foundation for kindergarten readiness and beyond. Every child learns at their own pace and in their own unique way. But wherever your child goes from here, they’ll be ready to think bigger, feel stronger, and aim higher.
We are highly motivated in providing a great child care experience. Not only do we teach the basics for kindergarten but also how to build healthy and caring relationships with their peers. All of our staff is trained in CPR and First aid. We are DFS certified!.
