Kid's Korner Early Child Development Center

The Kid's Korner began offering quality childcare to Sidney and its surrounding communities in August 2003. Our center has been established to provide high quality services including infant care, a toddler program, preschool curriculum, before and after school programs, and a summer program. Our providers strive to bring families quality care, which include daily learning experiences that are balanced by teacher directed activities designed to help children grow emotionally, socially, intellectually, and physically. These activities also help build a strong sense of children's individuality and self esteem.

Regulations for the childcare center will not only be met but will exceed state expectations to help us offer the safest possible environment for your child. All full-time providers hold a Child Development Associates, earn 12 education credit units per year, and are first-aid and CPR

certified.

The Learning Korner Preschool

The Learning Korner Preschool believes in the importance of creating a safe environment for the children in the classroom. There are four aspects of a safe environment. It should be a place where children feel comfortable and able to express themselves, are willing to take learning risks, are happy and excited to be there, and feel that they are a cohesive and secure unit. During their preschool experience, children will be exposed to daily experiences that are designed to help children grow emotionally, socially, intellectually and physically as well as encourage a strong sense of individuality and self-esteem. The children will be treated with kindness and respect and activities will be adapted to meet the different learning rates of the individual child.
