Our Philosophy

The mission of Kids on the Move is to support the development of young children and families. The philosophy of our Child Care Program promotes our mission. We believe that all young children deserve a safe, caring environment. Our program encourages the development of the total child, including fine and gross motor development, language, cognitive and social emotional development. We believe that children learn through play and should be allowed to develop at their own pace. We encourage discovery, creativity and exploration. Working in partnership with parents, our child care program serves as an extension of the child’s family.

We Have Three Separate Classrooms:

Our infant classroom is a language-rich environment that includes singing, reading and, of course, lots of love.

The toddler classroom includes a reading area, cause & effect area, dramatic play, blocks, puzzles, quiet-soft area and a sand water area.

In the three and over classroom, we begin to prepare children for kindergarten by providing opportunities for language development and increased self-sufficiency.

We learn to play and play to learn!

Our Goals

Provide a developmentally appropriate child care experience for children
Offer opportunities for hands on exploration, experimentation and discovery through play
Recognize and build upon the strengths that are unique to each child
Promote inclusion of young children with special needs

Below are some frequently asked questions about our child care center:

Q: What ages of children do you accept?
A: Children can begin care when they are at least 8 weeks old. Generally, we provide care to children until they are 7 years old or in the 1st grade, whichever comes first.
Q: What is your enrollment policy?
A: If we have a waiting list, you will need to fill out a complete application, submit $10 nonrefundable fee to be placed on the list.
Q: Do you have a preschool program?
A: Our 3+ classroom includes preschool learning activities such as, language development and increased classroom responsibilities.
Q:Will I be charged if my child is absent?
A: If you are registered for full-time care then you are paying for that child care slot regardless of your child’s regular attendance. If you are registered for part-time hourly care, then you pay for the days/time your child attends.
Q:What is your discipline policy?
A:We teach and model positive discipline and behavior management and find many behavior problems disappear when we keep the child engaged in an enriched environment with parent, positive staff. No corporal punishment is allowed. If your child’s caregiver is concerned about your child’s behavior, they will talk with you to develop a plan for resolution.
Q: Do you provide meals for children?
A: Yes, we provide well-balanced and nutritional snacks and lunches. Snacks are at 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and lunch is served at about noon. Food is included in the child care rates. Parents must provide formula or breast milk as needed for infants or children with special dietary needs. KOTM will work parents to accommodate the nutritional needs of the child.
Q: What is your parent to teacher ratio?
A: Infants are 1:3, Toddlers are 1:5, 3+ is 1:10.
Q: Can I drop in at any time to visit my child?
A: Yes, Kids on the Move has an open door policy and we encourage parents to visit or volunteer in the classroom.
Q: Do you accept child care subsidies?
A: Yes, parents who have access to a DSW child care subsidy can coordinate with the child care director, Ruth Shelton, to use these funds toward the cost of child care services.
Q: Do you take special needs children?
A: Yes, Kids on the Move is committed to including all children in our programs.
Q: What is your sick policy?
A: Our staff understands that it is difficult for working parents when their child is sick. However, it is important for us to maintain the health and well being of all children and staff. You can review the KOTM child care sick policy for complete information.
