Kids in Motion offers a fun, warm, safe environment that nurtures a young child's curiosity, imagination, and love for learning. Our preschool serves children from ages 2 to 4 years of age. We believe that children learn through play and our curriculum develops confidence, creativity, and critical-thinking skills—all while promoting positive outcomes.

Children attending Kids in Motion nap between the hours of 12pm -2pm.  Preschool Nap Time, one early childhood expert says,  can be a learning opportunity that helps kids recharge while establishing healthy sleep habits. 

Overtiredness can affect a child’s mood and, ironically, may make it harder to fall asleep. Insufficient sleep can cause a number of additional problems for young kids:

• Daytime sleepiness
• Crankiness or irritability, especially late in the afternoon
• Difficulty getting up in the morning
• Inattentive, impatient, hyperactive or aggressive behaviors
• Trouble focusing on schoolwork or other tasks

Here at Kids in Motion, we value our parents. Establishing a partnership between teacher, front office staff, and parents is a high priority. Parents are essential in their child's educational and developmental needs. 

We offer many family participation events throughout the year which include, but are not limited to, Trick or Treating, Thanksgiving lunch, Winter performance, and Mother's Day breakfast. Parents are encouraged to volunteer for events such as our Halloween Costume Parade and as a Read for the Record Guest Reader. Children also enjoy social events throughout the year where parents can sign up to bring goodies requested by the teacher. 

 1. What paperwork do I need to sign up?

• An up to date physical and shot records,  and completed registration packet. 

2. What else will my child need?

• A family photo, sheets (full crib size sheet and blanket,) extra change of clothes, bathing suit, and towel. All clothing should be clearly labeled.

3. What safety precautions are you taking in light of COVID-19?

• We always put health and safety of our children, families, and staff first. In addition to our normal sanitation and cleaning, we hired a staff member full time to constantly sanitize toys, bathrooms, and playgrounds after each use. We also are following the CDC recommended guidelines on 1 teacher to 9 children in a room. Children are expected to wear a mask all day (except during physical activities such as swimming and outdoor play) and maintain social distancing.
