About

Story

Following our expansion we have discovered increased demand for enrollment, with which comes more questions about who we are, what we offer, how to register, our policies, and more. Therefore we recognize it is time for us to have a facebook presence in order to better serve our community and offer connections and information to the families who are seeking it!

This page is designed to serve as an information only page, and therefore all pictures published to this page are viewable by the public. For this reason you will see few, if any, pictures of children in our preschool on this page, as we believe in protecting the privacy of out students and families! At Kids By Design, trust, safety, and integrity are our top priorities, without which, no true communication, nor education can occur!

We are a group of highly trained educators, committed to providing the best quality education consistent with current research and individual personalities! Each of our staff bring unique strengths to our team, and enjoy learning the personalities of our students, responding to them, and providing a stimulating environment where optimum growth, exploration, and education is facilitated.

In this quest we borrow from the structures and methodology of Montessori methods, the responsiveness and fluidity of the Reggio methods, the philosophies of music and movement on which kindermusik is founded, all in our intentional, play-based environment.

Above all else, we believe that children must know, unequivocally, that they are loved, so we strive to create a nurturing, loving environment, with the recognition that this need supersedes all else, and without the fulfillment of this need, the security out of which a child develops the Confidence, Competence, Character, Compassion, and Community responsibility that create well-adjusted individuals cannot be formed. At Kids By Design, we seek to build a foundational knowledge for children that they are loved, unconditionally, first by their primary caregivers, but also by their teachers, and on that foundation we provide the tools to build
Confidence to learn
Competence while developing
Character out of which we learn
Compassion leading to
Community responsibility.

Thank you for taking the time to check us out! We look forward to hearing from you!
