Preschool
Kith Corner's preschool program for children ages 3 to 6 is designed to provide a strong foundation for kindergarten readiness through individualized lesson plans and hands-on learning experiences. Each day includes a two-hour uninterrupted work period, allowing children to focus deeply on activities that foster development in language, writing, math, sensory exploration, practical life skills, science, culture, and music. The curriculum is tailored to meet the needs of each child, ensuring they are well-prepared for their academic journey. In addition to the core subjects, the program features an extended music component, which introduces pre-reading skills, ear training, improvisation, composition, and creative play, enhancing children’s cognitive and creative abilities. By integrating academics with artistic expression, the program offers a well-rounded, engaging environment that nurtures both intellectual and emotional growth, preparing children for future success.
Infants
At Kith Corner, our infant care program is thoughtfully designed for children from six weeks to walking (approximately 15 months). We tailor each day to accommodate your baby’s unique routine, ensuring a nurturing and supportive environment for their development. Our facilities provide essentials such as diapers, wipes, crib sheets, bibs, and burp cloths, while parents are asked to bring their own bottles, food, sleep sack, and three pairs of clothes. We also support both formula and breast milk, which must be properly labeled for your child’s safety. Our program emphasizes sensory, movement, and music-based learning to engage your baby’s natural curiosity. With individualized cribs, rest periods, and daily outdoor time (weather permitting), we ensure a well-rounded experience. Circle time is held twice a day to foster early social interaction, and all materials are sanitized daily for a clean environment. Parents stay connected with online daily reports, which include feeding times, diaper changes, and 2-3 photos or videos, providing peace of mind throughout the day.
