We serve you ​

Through our partnerships we are able to ensure your child (and yourself) are made available to all family and early childhood educational benefits.

All lead teachers have National Council Development Association (CDA) certifications or Florida Child Care Professional Credentials (FCCPC), along with extensive early childhood educational experience.
​
Both instructional and non-instructional staff are certified in first-aid and CPR

Philosophy

Want to know why we do what we do? Spoiler alert...it's because we love teaching and learning with your child! It is our philosophy that each child is unique and should be provided with an environment that respects that uniqueness and allows him or her to grow, learn, and explore. We believe that our future lies in the hands of our children, therefore it is our responsibility to empower them with the tools to succeed. Which is what we plan to do.

​

Transitioning to the Next Class

As young children transition to the next classroom there can be some anxiety for both the child and yourself (parent/guardian). Separation anxiety is a normal reaction. Leaving familiar faces of teachers and entering into a new environment can be difficult, but we are here to ease the process.

From Class to Class
​
Transitions to another classroom may occur if a child has aged out of the classroom or if they are developmentally ready to move. The same may occur if the child is not ready to progress to another classroom, they may remain in the familiar setting. 

​Keep in mind that Kidz Korner strives to make the transition process as smooth as possible for all involved (parent, child, and teacher).

VPK to Kindergarten
​
In May /June (near the end of the academic school year), Kidz Korner will provide activities to aid in the smooth transition of preschool to kindergarten.

​These activities may include one or more of the following: the distribution of kindergarten registration and transition packets, a graduation ceremony, a visit to a nearby elementary school, or a mini-workshop for parents. ​

Drop-Off
​
Know your child, and realize that each child's response is different. Children's response to transition depends on their age, temperament, and experience. 

Tune-In to your child's behavior. 
During times of change your child may have behavior regressions, delayed reactions or even outbursts at pick-up time. No worries, this is all normal. We can reassure them with positive comments & physical affection.
love.
