Care tailored to your child's needs

Whether you need full-time care or a few hours each week, we have flexible options designed around your family's schedule.

Full-Time Care

Monday through Friday, we provide a structured yet flexible routine that supports your child's development while giving you peace of mind at work.

Part-Time Care

Need care just a few days a week? We offer customizable schedules that fit your routine, whether it's two days or four.

Preschool Prep

Getting ready for kindergarten? Our early learning activities focus on social skills, basic literacy, and curiosity — building a strong foundation.

After-School Care

Snack, rest, and play — our after-school program gives your child a safe place to unwind and socialize before you pick them up.

Drop-In Care

Unexpected schedule change? We offer occasional drop-in care for parents who need a reliable, last-minute solution.

Sibling Discounts

Families with multiple children? We offer reduced rates for siblings so caring for all your kids is easier on your budget.

Every day is filled with learning, laughter, and love.

Our daily routine is built around your child's natural rhythm — structured enough to feel secure, flexible enough to let curiosity lead the way.

The Kendra's difference

We believe every child deserves to feel seen, safe, and excited to learn — and every parent deserves to feel confident leaving their child in our care.

Home-Like Environment

No institutional feel here. Our home-based setting means cozy corners, familiar routines, and a calm atmosphere where children genuinely feel at ease.

Safety First

Childproofed spaces, first-aid trained staff, and strict safety protocols — because your child's wellbeing is non-negotiable.

Developmental Focus

Every activity is designed with your child's developmental stage in mind — building language, motor skills, social confidence, and curiosity.

Small Group Sizes

With fewer children in our care, every child gets the attention, encouragement, and personalized support they need to thrive.

Transparent Communication

We keep you in the loop with daily updates about your child's meals, naps, activities, and milestones — because partnership matters.

Community Roots

We're right here in Lake Arthur — a neighbor, not a franchise. Your child is cared for by someone who knows and values this community.
