This age group will be focusing on imaginative and cooperative play in class. Outdoor time, music and movement etc. are the important milestone to help them with gross and motor skills. Writing, puzzles, and drawing would help them improve on their fine motor skills. Teachers will encourage them to develop story telling skills, and help them understand the cause and effect theory. Each day begins in a whole group circle to set the learning intention for the day. With whole group circles interspersed throughout the day, children explore themes and concepts together as they share ideas, interact, and gain confidence. Children pursue their passions and acquire new knowledge through a combination of free choice and teacher-led activities. Center-based learning enables exploration through play, direct instruction, math, science, writing, and sensory experiences.
Children will learn how to problem solve during conflicts in a positive way with their peers. Communicating in a nice voice and using proper words. Teachers will teach and model good relationships between adults and peers, focusing on respect and caring. The outdoor and indoor gross motor is designed to help children workout their growing bodies. Teachers incorporate in the daily curriculum activities for stimulating large muscle development.

We're new parents and had a difficult time deciding to send our daughter to daycare - particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. We couldn't be happier with our decision, Kid's Future has been exceptional.
My daughter loved coming in to this loving daycare center every morning. Her insistence on giving goodbye hugs everyday to everyone is a testament to how caring and loving this place is.
We began sending our son to Kids Future in August 2020 when he was a year old. I have watched his language blossom during his time at daycare, and his social skills really develop.
My son has been attending Kids Future since he was 10 months old and he has grown tremendously during his time there. He runs into school every day with a smile on his face, excited to see his teachers and friends.
My family and I couldn't be happier with Kids Future. My son is so happy throughout the day and has learned so much. I see this daily throughout the day on their app.
Our daughter loved going to this daycare!! All the staff are super friendly, communicative, caring, helpful and also patient.
My two boys attended Kids Future full time for one year. I was consistently impressed with the quality of care my boys received. The teachers seem to really love the kids and the staff turnover is low which says a lot!
Kids Future is unlike any daycare you will find. We moved from Bucktown to Uptown and switched our son at one year's old. He fell in love immediately and Kids Future made the transition super easy for him and us!
