KD Philosophy

Building Foundations with Passion and Purpose

We’re on a mission to provide top-quality educational childcare in a nurturing space, giving every child the best start possible.

Our Founders

The Heart Behind KD Kiddie Care

At KD Kiddie Care, our philosophy is rooted in the passion and dedication of our founders, Kia and DeShawn. The initials “KD” are more than just a name—they represent a commitment to creating a nurturing environment where children can flourish.

With a shared belief that every child is unique, capable, and full of potential, Kia and DeShawn built KD Kiddie Care on the principles of safety, motivation, inspiration, love, and education. (SMILE)

With decades of experience as parents to four children and grandparents to ten, they channel their love for family into every aspect of KD Kiddie Care. Their personal journey has shaped their commitment to creating a childcare experience that supports parents and inspires children. From carefully designed programs to the warm, welcoming culture, their dedication is felt by every family who walks through our doors.

What We Believe

Every Child is Unique

We celebrate the individuality of each child, tailoring our care and learning programs to their developmental needs and interests.

Learning Through Experience

Children learn best through hands-on activities that ignite curiosity and encourage exploration.

Partnership with Families

We believe in building strong, supportive relationships with parents to create a collaborative approach to childcare and education.

A Safe, Stimulating Environment

Children thrive in an atmosphere where they feel secure, loved, and inspired to discover their full potential.

Real-Time Communication With Families

To keep parents informed and connected, KD Kiddie Care uses the Brightwheel app to provide real-time updates and communication:

Instant Messaging: Seamless communication between parents and teachers for daily updates and quick responses.
Daily Highlights: Live notes, pictures, and videos of your child’s activities to keep you connected throughout the day.
Time-Stamped Updates: Detailed records of meals, naps, bottles, diaper/potty times, and learning activities.
Convenient Payments:Easy, secure online tuition payments through the app.

Nutrition for Growing Minds

We understand that healthy nutrition is vital for young minds and bodies to thrive. We take pride in providing balanced, nutritious meals and snacks, including breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks. Our meals are packed with fruits, vegetables, and wholesome ingredients that are not only nutritious but also kid-approved and delicious.

(All meals are designed to support development and meet the dietary needs of growing children—and we never include added sugars, ensuring your child’s health is a top priority.)

Mealtimes at KD Kiddie Care are a chance to come together and learn. Children sit in small groups, creating a social and enjoyable experience. During meals, our educators emphasize the importance of healthy eating and drinking plenty of water, encouraging positive habits from an early age.
