Nurturing Care
These are the pillars on which our promise to you is built.
At Kiddos, your child's day will consist of a dependable structure, engaging activities, and fun experiences that foster a love for learning.
We want your child to really enjoy their time with us and come home with new skills that they can share with you!
Stop by and visit us to get to know our facilities and meet the staff. You'll get an in-depth view of who we are, what we're about, and the type of environment we create for our kiddos. We'd love to meet you and show you around!
Welcome to Kiddos!
Here's a little bit about what you can expect when you join us.

Daily Schedule and ActivitiesEveryday your child will experience an age-appropriate, structured schedule, including daily activities, indoor play time, outdoor playtime (weather permitting) nap time, and meals. The schedules are posted for you to review. Activities include singing, reading books, playing games, trying out new art forms, and more. Our daily activities are structured to help aid in the social, emotional, cognitive and physical development of your child. Some of the things we focus on are counting, colors, ABC’s, and learning shapes and animals. Children ages 3 and 4 will also have the opportunity to begin to learn Spanish words.

Daily MealsWe serve nutritional meals everyday that follow the Child and Adult Care Food Program and are sure to follow strict guidelines regarding food allergies. Breakfast: 8 – 8:30am Lunch, 11 – 11:30am Afternoon snack, 2:30 – 2:50pm. A two week schedule for meals will be posted and sent home with the children.

Indoor Fun + LearningWe like to fill the day with activities that stimulate your child's love of learning with mental and intellectual exercises that are fun and entertaining. We love to sing action songs, finger-paint, encourage public speaking through show-and-tell, introduce them to musical instruments, put on puppet shows, and engage in group games that allow the children to explore the world around them and develop social skills and learn new things. We believe fun and learning go hand-in-hand!

Outdoor Fun + LearningHere at Kiddos, we believe being physically active is the best way to stay mentally fit. We also place a lot of value in those "old school" games we love from our youth, like Duck-Duck-Goose, Tag, Kickball, Ring-Around-The-Rosie, Simon Says, Red Light Green Light, Hopscotch and so on! These games not only encourage physical activity, but also communication and engagement. We also have a large assortment of outdoor toys to choose from!
Hello
My name is Nena!
I grew up in Cedar Rapids. I have always had a passion for making a difference in kid's lives, so after I retired, I decided to pursue my dream and open a daycare. Here at Kiddos, we treat children with respect and kindness. My team and I will provide fun and engagement, within a learning environment. I pride myself in providing a clean, safe and welcoming daycare. When your kids come to my daycare you can rest assured that they will be well cared for!
