Early Start
Welcome to the Early Start program at Kangaroo's Korner! Supported by the Early Start CT initiative, this program is designed to provide infants, toddlers, and preschoolers with an inclusive, high-quality foundation for lifelong learning. We believe that every child deserves a nurturing and equitable environment that supports their unique development. By partnering closely with families and focusing on whole-child growth, we ensure that childcare is not only accessible but deeply enriching, setting your child up for success both in kindergarten and beyond.
Values
Whole-Child Development
We focus on nurturing the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional growth of every child, ensuring they are supported in all areas of life.
01
Inclusive & Equitable Care
We welcome children of all abilities and backgrounds, providing individualized attention and adapting our approaches to meet each child's unique needs.
02
Family Partnership
We believe parents are a child's first teachers, so we actively collaborate with families to ensure a seamless connection between home and the classroom.
03
Play-Based Learning
We utilize hands-on, engaging activities that spark curiosity, allowing children to safely explore their environment and discover the world at their own pace.

Social-Emotional Confidence
As they grow, children will learn to identify their feelings, build trust with caregivers, make positive friendships, and develop the empathy needed to play with their peers.

Early Literacy & Language
Through storytelling, singing, and daily conversations, your child will rapidly expand their vocabulary, learn to express their needs, and build the foundational skills needed for reading.

Kindergarten Readiness
In their final stages of the program, preschool-aged children will master essential problem-solving, early math concepts, and independent self-help skills, making the transition to elementary school smooth and exciting.
