If you are looking for quality care and education for your children aged 6 weeks to six years, we invite you to tour Kids’ Korner, conveniently located in the heart of Narberth. Open from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, we can accommodate children requiring full time placement, or for as little as two days a week. We are open year round with the exception of major holidays, the week before Labor Day and the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Kids’ Korner is a state-licensed facility that began serving the community in 1988 and has been under new ownership since 2002. We are an equal opportunity child care provider, admitting children on a first come, first served basis. Families needing full time care recieve enrollment priority. Children with special needs will be accommodated whenever reasonably possible.
Kids' Korner is proud to be a Keystone STAR 4 center! Out of thousands of licensed centers in the state of Pennsylvania, only 608 have 4 STARS. Keystone STARS is a state program which establishes comprehensive quality standards for child care centers and assigns ratings from 1 to 4 STARS. Ratings are based on the classroom learning environment, staff and director education and training, parent participation and professional management practices.
Our dedicated staff regularly receives professional development in early education. All staff members are also trained in infant and child CPR, first aid and fire safety. We are a non-denominational, non-sectarian program housed in Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. The Church is located within easy walking distance of public transportation and downtown Narberth. Detailed information about our program and policies follows.
Mission Statement
Kids Korner was established to provide high quality, out-of-home care and learning for children 6 weeks to 6 years of age. Our goal is to equip every child in our care with roots and wings. As each child is enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and acceptance, he or she develops the sense of security and trust needed to soar through an environment rich in new experiences and exciting learning opportunities. Our aim is to maintain an environment that is both safe and stimulating, providing challenges when appropriate, and comfort whenever needed.
Vision
We strive to support the optimal growth and development of each child entrusted to our care. We teach kindness, empathy and respect, as well as shapes and numbers. We endeavor to stretch bodies and minds. We are committed to meeting the developmental needs of each child—intellectual, physical, social, and emotional. Whether identifying a letter, catching a ball, or sharing a toy—there are many kinds of learning and we want to include them all.
A positive partnership with parents, founded on mutual trust and respect, is an essential component to our success. We rely on parent input and information to help us meet each child’s unique needs. Daily communication between teachers and parents is a hallmark of our program. Families are welcome visitors, participants and partners.
Values
It is a joy and a privilege to participate in the lives of young children. We are daily witnesses to delight and wonder, growth and discovery, challenge and accomplishment, journey and arrival. We believe the first five years of life are critically important to lifelong success. Nothing could be more rewarding than helping families build firm foundations for happy, successful lives for their children.
