Golf Links KinderCare Programs

Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)

Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and ready to explore their world.

Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)

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. We’ll help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.

Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)

This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them get used to a more structured school setting.

Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)

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!

Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)

When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families in our community.Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language, math, science, Spanish, and social skills.

Learning Adventures - Enrichment Program

Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)

In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world anddevelop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwestrainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!

Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)

KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math, science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare way of learning the foundations of music.

Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)

Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program. From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we have the data to prove it.)

Family Stories

If you get nothing out of this story but this, please know that I love this KinderCare. I have had the pleasure of having four of my kiddos here starting in June 2012. Three of them started in the Infant Classroom. Don't get me started about Ms. Karen! I was so comfortable having my seven-month-old here that when my second little guy turned six weeks old, it was a no brainer to bring him here also. Then a few months later, a toddler joined our family and again, we brought her to KinderCare. Our latest little one started at six weeks and is still here. In fact, all but one of the kiddos, even though transitioned to new forever families, are still here. Everyone on staff here, from the moment I open the front door to when I walked out and shut the front door, was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Most of the time between the front door openings and closings were conversations with teachers who were listening to me about some of my trials in my life as a foster mom, the kiddos' lives, or "what can we do for you and your kiddos?" They probably thought about charging me for my time here (it would have been well worth it). It was always very comfortable. Yes, Ms. Karen was awesome, but that is not to say that Ms. Christy, Eloise, Amanda, Denise, Andrea, Jordan, Dalia, Amanda, Mr. Steven, and the others were not equally as great. I just spent more time with Ms. Karen due to having infants. These are just some of the teachers who have touched my kiddos' lives and my life. For those unnamed, please know you also meant more to me than you will know. Friendly greetings never went unnoticed. It was a very busy and trying time the last 15+ months, but coming into this center where I was always loved on, treated with respect, and supported helped to make it all worthwhile. While I can't mention their names, Mr. D, Ms. I, and Ms. C all are/were blessed to be here. I also would be remiss if I didn't mention Ms. Chrissy and Ms. Nicole. My many phone calls, quirky requests, and demands were always met with a friendly voice or face. So many kind words and advice when I needed it the most! I feel as if I have friends for life and when the occasion rises, I will be back. Thank you for all you have done and are yet to do. May many bountiful blessings come your way.

Jennifer M. - KinderCare Parent

The words to best describe this facility's environment would be clean, friendly, caring, dedicated, positive, and loving. I adopted my three youngest grandchildren in 2009 and since I am a single grandmother, I needed a daycare for all three. I did shop around, visited other facilities, and talked to other parents, but when I walked into Golf Links KinderCare, I knew this was the place for my children. I am beyond satisfied with my decision to enroll them here. Ms. Chrissy and her staff do wonders for and with all three of them.Along with Ms. Chrissy and Ms. Charm, other individuals who have done wonders with my three are Ms. Alison, Ms. Linda, Ms. Jordan, Ms. Megan, and Mr. Steven, just to name a few. Ms. Alison is the School Age Teacher and she makes sure that their homework is completed prior to having their "fun" time and she even helps with school projects. This is a huge help for me!My children have learned so much from attending KinderCare. I attribute their high educational test scores to the programs, curriculum, structure, and willingness of the KinderCare staff for always being there to help and assist my children in any way possible. Since the second grade, two of them have been in GATE (Gifted And Talented Education) pull-out programs at their schools, and my third child in second grade right now is in the GATE self-contained classes at a GATE school.Ms. Chrissy and Ms. Charm will do whatever it takes to make things less stressful for myself and my children. For example, since my second grader attends a GATE school, the school district provides her transportation to and from the daycare. Well, since school started in July 2014, I have been having pick-up issues with the transportation department: At least once a week, she does not get picked up for whatever reason. I work clear across town and would take me at least 20 minutes to go get her, another 10 minutes to drop her off, and then it's 15 more minutes before I get back to work. Well, like I stated, they would do whatever it takes to make things less stressful. Ms. Chrissy to the rescue! She says they can take her to school in the mornings! What a relief! At least I can depend on KinderCare to make sure my daughter gets to school on time on a daily basis.This is above and beyond, and another reason as to why we love our KinderCare--because they care!Thank you from the bottom of my heart! We greatly appreciate all of you!

Fredlyn - KinderCare Parent

I love the staff here. I have a newborn so it's very scary having to take him to daycare especially now during a world wide pandemic. But they are amazing and make me feel confident in my choice for my child to be there. He absolutely loves his teachers. I also love the fact that they are always in communication with me about everything. Also they send me so many pictures throughout the day with their easy to use app so that I get to see him doing his fun little activities through out the day. Also their health procedures for drop off and pick up make me feel safe for having him there.
