Kids Cove Learning Academy (KCLA): Diving Deep into Learning

Our children’s early years of education help them develop social skills, cognitive advancements, and learning tools that will last for a lifetime. We believe in the importance of laying a foundation of learning by encouraging children to explore their interests more deeply through doing, asking questions, and having fun. Our programs will provide you with the comfort of knowing every child is safe, loved, and happy as they grow and learn. At KCLA, we provide an atmosphere that goes deep and wide to encompass all facets of learning and growing, sharing, and caring.

Kids Cove is part of Early Learning Academies (ELA), a growing network of trusted early childhood learning centers led by a team of seasoned and committed childcare professionals.

Philosophy

We believe every child has unique gifts and traits, and each deserves a chance to shine. Nurturing those abilities requires training, cooperation, and connection, which is why KCLA educators join with our children’s families to provide a well-rounded and deeply supportive approach to learning. And by implementing the Creative Curriculum, KCLA offers developmentally appropriate, hands-on experiences to build skills for school and for life.

Staff

KCLA’s licensed, experienced professionals are well-trained in early childhood development, safety, health and far more to help your children develop their gifts and talents. Further, with a largely bilingual staff, students learn Creative Curriculum mainstays alongside certain Spanish words and phrases at a time when their brains are most welcoming and adaptive of a dual-language approach.

Health & Safety

Health & Safety

Initial employment and continuing education requirements include health, safety, nutrition, trauma and other pertinent topics, and lead teachers and administrators are certified in CPR and First Aid. Rooms and toys are cleaned thoroughly throughout each day, with deep disinfecting happening several times weekly, following Centers for Disease Control guidelines.
