Custom Food
Almost 1 in 12 kids have food allergies and this is why we offer custom food options that maintain not only a healthy diet but nutritional benefits. Early identification of childhood allergies will improve your child’s quality of life and reduce the number of missed school days. If your child is in need of special foods, have a request for gluten free meals or if you have other special request we can help.
Music Learning
With the deep understanding of how music develops our brains, we offer sing along sessions and grouped singing because music can raise your IQ. Even by listening to music it can help develop your child’s brain and enhance the ability to interpret and integrate sensory information quicker. Music has the ability to train our brain for a higher level of thinking and helps children develop fine motor skills, music is known to strengthen both sides of the human brain while creating better coordination. Music is not only a universal language it is also the backbone to creativity and these are the reasons music is important for everyone at Kids World.
Bus Shuttle
At Kids World our school age program provides both before and after school care during the school year. We work with local public school transportation departments who are dedicated to providing safe and efficient transportation to their schools to and from Kids World. Their bus drivers work very hard to ensure the bus is a safe and enjoyable environment for all bus riders. Buses are for early morning pick up and end of school drop off. This service is idea for parents who want a safe place for their children to go before and after school.

Language
Kids World explores Sign Language and Spanish on a daily basis in our classrooms, even with our infants.
Baby Sign Language is a great way to get your baby communicating in an effective way so they can have confidence in expressing what they need and want before they are able to speak the words. We teach simple, yet important, basic words that will give your child early language development. We teach English as our primary language but also introduce Spanish as a secondary basic language to broaden your child’s early language skills. We practice our numbers, colors and other simple words in Spanish daily in all our classrooms.
