Building Strong Foundations:
Child-Led Learning for infants- 7 years.
At Kids on the Move, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive in a supportive, inclusive environment. Our Preschool and Child Care Program has been nurturing young minds for over 20 years, offering specialized care and education for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and pre-k children, including those with developmental delays and special needs.
Traditional Learning Methods Can Hold Your Child Back
Most childcare centers rely on teacher-directed methods, leaving little room for your child’s unique interests to guide their learning.
Parents are often concerned that traditional, one-size-fits-all teaching methods don’t cater to their child’s specific needs or curiosity, potentially stifling creativity and development.

Yes. Kids on the Move has an open-door policy, and we encourage parents to visit or volunteer in the classroom. However, we caution parents that it is difficult for a child when a parent comes and then leaves without taking the child with them. Emotionally, it is better to keep visits short and infrequent so the child can adjust and learn they are safe. It is an important step in the child gaining a sense of age-appropriate independence.
Yes. Parents with access to a DWS childcare subsidy can coordinate with the childcare director to use these funds to pay for childcare services.
