School Notes
- Welcome to the Carlisle KinderCare Center! Inside our doors you will find engaging teachers, happy children and happy families. During our fun day here, our teachers provide small and large group interactions along with some pretty fun family activities. Imagine dropping off your child and knowing what they are doing from the time you left until the time you returned? Oh, and did we mention no need to pack meals, we provide them! We are sure you will find that you'll tell yourself, "I can't imagine a world without KinderCare."
- We love safety at our center! Our playground is fenced and our front door has a key pad entry for extra security. All staff members are trained in CPR and First Aid, as well as having their three state clearances.
