Welcome! Congratulations on taking this important step in your child’s education and development. At Kidzz First Child Development Center we’re honored parents have trusted us with their children for more than 25 years. We can’t wait to ignite your child’s passion for learning! Now let’s get started! Below are common FAQs to help you prepare for your child’s first day.

Start as early as you can
You should start looking at least 4 months before you need care. We typically have open enrollment in June, but feel free to call to check our availability. Ask for recommendations from other parents (family, friends, co-workers) or your pediatrician or OB-GYN. Jot down your most important questions (i.e. availability, hours, price, ratios, licensing, curriculum, etc.), and screen schools over the phone. Once you’ve narrowed down your schools, schedule tours and be prepared to ask questions and observe in the classroom. Read reviews of schools on Google and Facebook to see what other families are saying about their experiences. Still unsure? Drop by the schools for another visit. Trust your gut. 

1. How do I drop off my child?
