JOIN THE CLUB
Transitioning into elementary schools is a big step. Even if a big brother or sister leads the way, change is both exciting and challenging. Club Kinder is here to help. Our program is an extension to the Carlsbad Unified School District’s Kindergarten curriculum and is designed to give students a strong start in school and in life.
Curriculum
Enrichment Activities
Approach STEAM subjects in an engaging, age-appropriate way to foster creativity and a love for learning
English Language Arts
Develop a greater vocabulary, enunciation, and confidence in speaking with language-focused activities
Socialize
Develop an understanding of relationships, sharing, and communication skills with other young learners
Full-time Support
Be supported by experienced staff that care and have the time to nurture and guide successful habits
Begin the Elementary Exploration!
At Club Kinder, your student will learn and develop life skills and be given every opportunity to succeed at school. The convenient onsite location and flexible schedule that welcomes both morning and afternoon TK/K students, extends Kindergarten to a full-day exploration! In addition, it is the only Kindergarten program in Carlsbad that gives 100% of its proceeds back to the Carlsbad Unified School District for K-12 programs in music, STEAM, and educational innovation. Your student will benefit for years to come!
Engaging, Experienced Staff
The care of every student is our top priority. Our experienced staff is licensed through the State of California and we guarantee a student-staff ratio of 14:1. Every student is given attention and opportunity to have a safe, fun, and inspiring experience. Parents are encouraged to collaborate about progress along the way. In addition, staff members participate in ongoing training in curriculum, student behavior and First Aid/CPR.
Safety is a Priority!
Kids Care takes essential actions to create a physical environment that promotes student and staff safety through established protocols and procedures. We comply with the State of California guidelines and are aligned with the Carlsbad Unified School District. We continually monitor guidelines, update our procedures, and will inform you of any changes.
For Covid-19 mitigation and prevention measures, please see the COVID-19 Decision Trees for K-12 Schools that is published by the San Diego County Office of Education. As of March 14, 2022, all students are permitted to wear a mask if they so choose, but masks are not required.
