A classroom made for every stage
Each room follows a research-based curriculum tuned to how children that age actually learn — through play, songs, stories, movement and lots of hugs.
The Nest — Infants
Your baby’s own schedule leads the day. Primary caregivers learn each infant’s cues, follow your feeding and nap plan, and fill the room with tummy time, sensory baskets and lullabies.
- Safe-sleep certified cribs
- Breast milk & formula friendly
- Shoe-free, sanitized floors
- Daily diaper & bottle log
The Burrow — Toddlers
Busy feet and big feelings! We build first words, gentle social skills and independence with sign language, music & movement, messy art and supported potty learning.
- Potty-learning partnership
- Baby sign & early language
- Two outdoor play blocks
- Family-style snack time
The Meadow — Preschool
Curious minds dig into themed projects — bugs, weather, community helpers — through learning centers for blocks, dramatic play, science, sensory and a cozy library nook.
- Project-based learning units
- Phonics & counting games
- Garden beds & nature walks
- Quarterly progress portfolios
The Treetops — Pre-K
Our kindergarten-readiness year blends play with purpose: early literacy, hands-on math, STEM challenges and the self-help skills that make day one of kindergarten a breeze.
- Kindergarten-readiness checklist

- Weekly STEM lab
- Graduation ceremony in May

Grown-ups who love their jobs (and it shows)
Kite Hill was founded in 2008 by early-childhood educator Renée Albright, who wanted a center that felt like an extended family. Today our 26 teachers average 9 years of experience, and most hold a CDA credential or degree in Early Childhood Education.
We invest in our people — paid planning time, 30+ hours of annual training and tuition support — which is why our teacher retention is nearly double the industry average. Familiar faces mean secure, confident kids.
Clear, all-inclusive weekly rates
Full-time tuition includes breakfast, hot lunch, two snacks, diapers & wipes for infants, and all classroom supplies. No surprise fees.

Messy hands, happy hearts
Families who found their village
“Handing over my 10-week-old was the hardest thing I’ve done. Ms. Priya texted me a photo of him sleeping peacefully within the hour. Two years later he runs into the building.”
Lauren M.Infant & Toddler parent“Our daughter’s kindergarten teacher asked where she went to Pre-K because she was so ready — reading simple words, zipping her own coat, and so confident.”
Daniel & Keisha R.Pre-K graduate family“Same teachers year after year, real hot lunches, and the app updates are a lifesaver for two working parents. The after-school van pickup sealed the deal.”
