West A Street KinderCare in Lincoln,

West A Street KinderCare

You will find a daily dose of wonder waiting for your child every day at KinderCare.

We want to invite you to come in and stay a while.

Our secure entrance will lead you to the front desk, where our team will be able to assist you with information about enrolling your child at a center backed by the country's leading early childhood education experts.

Our passion is providing the best experiences for your child and family. Our passion for children shows in everything we do here at KinderCare on West A.

Check out our staff wall. Together we have over 150 years of early childhood education experience.

You will find the latest information about what's happening in our center and around our community here at our parent center in our lobby.

A Parent Communication Board is found outside each classroom where parents can find information about the curriculum, including what children will be learning during the current week and what lesson plans the teachers have prepared to enhance the curriculum.

We have space for our infants to grow and learn, and have separate classrooms depending on developmental stage. Our Infant A Classroom is for infants six weeks to about six months old, when an infant begins to crawl and become mobile. This allows the infants in this room to have tummy time and to feel free to explore their world without the worry of another infant invading their space. Our Infant B Classroom is meant for those infants who are about six months to about 12 months and who are crawling and cru

Our classrooms are set up to help develop the whole child. While learning those cognitive skills to make them successful in years to come, we also foster the social and emotional skills needed for success as well.

We are more than a daycare for your child. We are a learning center. We do provide a curriculum for your child even at the young age of six weeks, which is individualized for his or her stages and abilities. At this age, sensory exploration is the main way infants learn, grow and figure out the world around them. Look for evidence of learning on our display boards in our classroom to see what our youngest students are accomplishing.

Talk to me, sing with me, or read me a book. I am ready to learn all I can today!

Even our youngest students benefit from the award-winning curriculum we offer.

Getting sensory play while painting is so much fun!

Teachers at KinderCare know that each child has his or her own style of learning and works with each child to help them reach his or her own potential.

Look for evidence of learning boards in each classroom to learn more about what your child is learning through an activity and why.

Children learn so much through sensory exploration between the ages of birth and three years old. That's why our curriculum provides ample opportunities for children to explore their world through sensory play.

A literacy-rich environment is part of our educational program.

Creative expression is important for children. We love to see what they will create!

You might see a student playing with play dough. Did you know she is also working on her fine-motor skills, eye/hand coordination, shape and color identification, vocabulary, and social skills, too? We did. It's part of the educational standards we use when we plan activities like this for our day!

There is a place in each classroom where your child can get lost in a book in story time or join friends in circle-time learning.

Circle time in the Discovery Preschool Classroom is full of stories in song, in print, and from the children themselves. It is a time for the children to learn about the calendar, the alphabet, the weather, and colors and shapes.

This is how we make the lemonade in our classroom.

Here is a project to explore all of our senses through making lemonade. We can increase our vocabulary, too!

Our teachers provide things like this cardboard sand castle to facilitate your child in using imagination to explore the world.

Our Prekindergarten Classrooms prepare your child for kindergarten. These students start to learn sight words in both English and Spanish. They have a writing journal where they begin to write these words in English and Spanish as well.

We provide many activities for your child to gain the self-confidence needed to take on a challenge with the belief he or she can be successful in the outcome.

Group time in prekindergarten is a great place for your child to express individuality as well as learn to respect the individuality of others. This will be a great asset for children once they are in an elementary setting.

Our learning centers are set up to build math skills, literacy, and language skills, science and sensory skills, fine-motor and gross-motor skills, as well as emotional and social skills.

We have two Prekindergarten Classrooms. Each classroom uses our prekindergarten curriculum. Our Prekindergarten A Classroom will have some students who will go off to kindergarten in the fall while other students will move on to our Prekindergarten B Classroom because their birth date prevents them from attending kindergarten that school year. Our Prekindergarten B Teacher will make the curriculum a little more challenging for her students so that they will continue to learn and grow while at our center.

Teachers facilitate learning by encouraging children to use the skills they have learned and to build upon them.

The great thing about our program is learning is fun! Children are asked to use the blocks to build a barn for their animals. They set off with their imagination to build an extraordinary barn. Our teachers know they are using math concepts, eye/hand coordination, and fine-motor skills. They are also learning science concepts such as cause and effect. Who knew? Our teachers knew.

While learning to be successful in kindergarten, we are also instilling health and safety skills in our students. Children learn how and when to properly wash their hands as well as proper teeth-brushing skills.

Our students complete many activities that build their skills.

Social and emotional development is just as important as cognitive and physical development. Self-confidence is something that we want every child to experience while learning in our care.

Our program works with children to encourage reading and writing.

Individuality is encouraged with every student. We respect that every student is unique and has his or her own likes and dislikes.

We encourage children to grow their social skills so they are prepared to work in a group setting by the time they enter kindergarten.

We love all of our students to pieces, too!

In our School Age Classroom, we are building long-lasting friendships.

Our summer programs for school-agers are filled with fun things to do all summer long!

Our school-agers are always on the move.

We have two playgrounds. This one is designed to be age-appropriate for children ages two and under. Each classroom has 30 minutes for outdoor play every morning and afternoon. Child-directed play is still learning as teachers can make each moment a teachable one.

This playground is designed for ages three and up. There are so many areas to play in and explore with all our friends.

A sensory station and a picnic area is a great place to cool off in the summer heat.

Why so many bikes? So we can have more friends to play with and so waiting our turn doesn't seem like forever.

Did you know that all together we have over 150 years of experience backing our current staff? Besides showing you we have been doing this for a while, I hope it also shows you that we do this because we love what we do!

What makes us unique? Our large indoor play area. When the weather is too hot, too cold, or too wet, we have the ability to build gross-motor skills inside. That way, your child can get the wiggles out before going home with you.

We have a kitchen in our center so all of our food is prepared in-house. Once the food is prepared, it goes to your child's classroom, where our teachers will serve the meals in a family-style dining way. Our meals follow the USDA requirements for nutritional content and portion sizes.

We offer Learning Adventures at our center. These are classes that are available outside the curriculum your child receives in our classrooms, at a much smaller teacher/child ratio. Much like tutoring-style learning, children can catch up to learning milestones or gain an advantage to set them up for success in elementary learning.

Our Cooking Adventures class is more than just fun. Children also learn about foods from other cultures, vocabulary, fine-motor skills, eye/hand coordination, self-confidence, social skills, and how eating healthy can be so easy.

Cooking Adventures--we even let the parents get in on the fun!
