Our Philosophy
“Welcome to our center! We appreciate the confidence you have placed in us by choosing our child development center. KIDS HAVEN, by Sandy was created to entice children to explore, learn, and experiment in a structured environment.
Every child will be offered the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential in a safe, clean, and caring atmosphere. We feel strongly that parental support and input are essential in achieving our goals.
We will attempt to develop the whole child with physical, cultural, social, and intellectual activities that will enhance his or her everyday life. Our utmost goal will be to provide the most loving care and the best early childhood educational program possible.
We are very proud to say we are a Kentucky All Star Program center with a two star rating. This is a voluntary program sponsored through the state of Kentucky that offers a wonderful enrichment program for child care centers. It also provides scholarships for continuing education for their staff members. STARS FOR KIDS NOW demands child care centers to offer the highest quality child care available because they cherish the importance of a child’s early years.
