Infant and Toddler Daycare Provider

Kid’s First Academy will give you peace of mind that your infant or toddler will be cared for like our very own while you are away for work. We believe every child should be nurtured, loved, healthy, smart and strong. Our early childhood educators are professionals who creatively adapt our curriculum to the developmental needs of each individual.

Positive Teacher/Child Interactions

Your toddler will receive positive teacher/student interactions at Kid’s First Academy. We take the initiative to gently and warmly calm any fears your child may have – especially when they are new to the classroom. We will help new students explore their new school environment and encourage them to play with other children. By being attentive to individuals, we gear our interactions towards their needs daily. Children should be happy and interact well with their teacher.

Our teachers have the knowledge, training and experience to build positive interactions with pre-school and kindergarten aged children. The teacher/ student relationship is vitally important to the professionals at Kid’s First Academy; it is foundational for a lifelong love for learning.  

Quality Dental Care with Compassion

Your child’s dental future begins with building a solid foundation during their formative years and maintaining it through ongoing preventative dental care. We do this through partnering with families and being patient focused so each child’s individual needs are uniquely addressed. Our team believes in treating your children’s dental care needs with understanding and care. So, from the moment you walk through the door, our friendly and knowledgeable staff will make sure your family, and especially your child, feels at ease. We strive to make sure your whole visit is pleasant, from keeping appointments on time, to making sure you fully understand the treatments and services, to following up afterwards.
