Our Mission & Philosophy
Kangaroo's Korner is a nationally accredited, not-for-profit early learning center. From the beginning, our goal has been to provide a supportive, individualized environment where children of all abilities can thrive. We provide a diverse educational experience that fosters self-esteem and acceptance of oneself and others through play, social interactions, and an individualized curriculum.
Independent Learners
Children have the freedom to pick and choose what they want to learn while being supported by staff.
Diverse Learners
We welcome all abilities and support families in any way possible.
Problem Solvers
Children are given opportunities for open-ended questions to explore and use their sense of wonder.
Liberated Learners
Instead of a set plan, children choose what they learn with access to all our learning tools.
Our Core Values
We believe all children should be...
