The best daycare for your child
Infant Child Care
Daycare is great for infants in a loving and nurturing environment. They are exposed to other children and care takers and become more adaptable adults!
Child Care
In a nurturing and loving environment, children between ages 6 weeks-6 years gain socially, emotionally and academically.
Daycare
Quality daycare fosters a healthy attachment to the caregiver in addition to mom and dad while learning to love and respect other adults. Don’t worry mom and dad will always be number in your child’s eyes!
Preschool (Pre-K)
Our preschoolers are any child from 3-6 years old. They learn everything from social graces and courtesies, practical life skills (dressing, cutting, pouring, etc.), sensorial skills, reading, writing. Additionally; yoga, cooking, music and foreign language.
Your Child Deserves Enriched Day Care Learning
5 Star Care
“We moved our children here after we found that our old daycare was too chaotic and disorganized for our younger son (6 months). We were nervous because our older son (3) had been doing quite well and we weren’t sure how he would adjust. One week in and I can say we are SO glad we made the move, for both kids. The attention and quality of care our kids receive is outstanding. The environment is calming but not sterile, and the space is new and clean. Our sons both seem to be thriving, and I love the activities that they do with the preschool class. This is such a fantastic preschool and we are so grateful it opened”
– Annie W.

5 Star Care
“I started working at MKU a month ago so I could get a space for my 2 year old daughter. As an early education specialist of 13 years, this school is spot on. The owners are committed to doing things right and the teachers are happy and well cared for, which shows in the care they give the children. So excited for both our futures here!”
-Nicole
“I highly recommend this school. My 6 month old is thriving here and we could not be more happy!”
