Kiddie Kolleges mission is to provide a safe and healthy environment for infants, toddlers and pre-school age children so that the following goals may be reached:
- Make a successful transition from home life to school life and learn to
interact with other children.
- Provide the child with freedom and opportunities to develop physical, social,
emotional and cognitive skills.
- Develop a positive self-image (feeling of success).
- Development of the whole child, i.e. provide experiences for all children so they may
reach their stage of development.
- Develop responsibility and self-control.
- Develop an unselfish nature with a positive attitude, gratitude and respect
for others.
- Develop in the child through the pre-school experience an excitement
about learning and moving to the next educational level.

There is an increasing emphasis on the education of the pre-school child. The program at Kiddie Kollege is flexible, with opportunities for meeting the individual and group needs as situations arise.
We believe that children who have had many rich and satisfying experiences in pre-school will be prepared to meet the challenges in grade school.
Children should not be confined to a routine atmosphere with little or no emphasis placed on constructive learning. All children love to play; this is a normal and healthy outlet both physically and mentally. We believe that by including learning activities as play in addition to teacher directed activities, we stimulate the child, enabling the child to develop their social, physical, emotional and cognitive skills.
We believe that learning goes from general to specific, that is reaches plateaus and regressions and that it is cumulative and continuous.
