Our curriculum benefits each student by better preparing them for a successful academic future. We provide a quality education by focusing on the social, emotional and academic growth of our students. Our academic experience is closely related to an elementary school setting, but with focus on the unique needs of very young learners. This helps to ensure the transition to elementary school is a successful one.

Our Program, Our Philosophy
At Kindercapers, we believe that students should have fun while learning. Children who learn through play enjoy the educational process. That is how Kindercapers instills the love for learning at the youngest of ages.
The Kindercapers program is designed to expose children to many first-hand sensory experiences. We believe in a “hands on, investigative approach to learning”. Through varied activities, the child spontaneously begins to develop objective and subjective awareness, which grows from exposure to new experiences. The more types of experiences that children have, the richer their understanding of concepts become.
We encourage each child to question thoughtfully and think on their own thus fostering a self- sufficient, independent student.
A cumulative curriculum allows us to achieve our ultimate goal; School Readiness.
Kindercapers offers a unique atmosphere for preschoolers and kindergarteners by giving children a chance to explore, create, and most important, to have fun while learning.
Socialization is an integral part of a young child’s learning experience. By providing engaging learning activities through play, a child will socialize and learn in a relaxed, natural setting.
Kindercapers strives to maintain a personal atmosphere, where each child is considered an individual both emotionally and developmentally.
Kindercapers is a small, nurturing school environment where children succeed.
