About Us
Program History
Welcome! Kuddle Kare is
licensed by the State of Arizona and has been
serving Coconino County since June 2008. We are a home-based
facility located in smoke rise which provides
an encouraging environment for your child to interact and develop. We have low teacher-to-student ratios that allow teachers to focus on the individual
learning styles and needs of each child. We are
also a member of the CACFP as well as a participant of the Quality
First Program. Kuddle Kare continues to be committed to the child and
the
entire family. We want to form a strong
partnership with you to ensure the best possible experience for your
child. We provide daily communication with families and seek to
understand your unique needs.
Our Mission
To
provide quality and affordable child care for infants, ages newborn to
five years. I will guarantee a nurturing environment of trust and
sensitivity as well as establish a bonding, close relationship with each
individual child. This
is done in a caring and affirming atmosphere in which the parents and I
participate together in the development of the infants' social,
emotional, and physical skills.
I believe that Infants and Toddlers learn through exploration,
interaction and discovery. Therefore, the children are free to explore
and interact with others through
one-to-one play, small group activities, and have time for individual
uninterrupted play.
About the Teachers-
The
teachers at Kuddle Kare are dedicated to developing your child's
potential and are sensitive to your child's individual needs.
We are passionate about your child's happiness, growth and safety, and
providing a nurturing environment that cultivates self-esteem.
This is more than a job for us. It’s an opportunity for us to share our passion for life while they inspire, engage, and
awaken the wonder inside each and every child.
