Mission
Statement
Curious Kids is a nonprofit organization that provides accessible
preschool and family child care. We believe each child is unique and
should be treated with respect as an individual.
We promote an appreciation for the diversity of our community. We
provide an environment which is family-oriented, nurturing, and educational,
where children feel safe and secure.
At Curious Kids, we welcome children with special needs, as well as
children from all races and ethnic backgrounds. To ensure that all
children have equal access to our program, we maintain a sliding fee
schedule.
Curious Kids, together with the parents and the community, works to
provide this valuable experience that promotes development and self-esteem
for our children.
