Kidink Preschool, LLC

Philosophy and Mission Statement
Kidink is a CA Early Childhood Mentor Site. This means we uphold the absolute highest quality Early Childhood program available. We have created a safe, nurturing program for young children that fosters life long learning and emotional well-being. We promote each child’s cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development. We recognize and respect that each child brings to school a unique rate of development, a desire to learn and diverse language and cultural experiences. Will your child be ready for kindergarten? Most preschool programs tend to fill classrooms to capacity (up to 24) students, whereas we will never have more than 12 children per day in our entire program which enables our teachers to work side by side with your child. Kidink focuses on the key concepts kindergarten teachers expect and appreciate through well-researched and proven Early Childhood development practices that recognizes play as the natural way through which children learn.
