Welcome to kids Place preschool
At Kids Place Preschool, we believe childhood should be full of discovery, joy, and meaningful moments.
About Us
Our all-inclusive approach blends balanced education with essential life skills, giving children countless opportunities to explore, create, and grow every single day. Whether they’re singing and dancing during Music and Movement, engaging in our play-based curriculum, or enjoying hands-on fun indoors and outdoors, our students are always learning in the most natural and exciting ways.
Our classrooms—and our spacious outdoor areas—are vibrant, welcoming spaces where children build friendships, practice social skills, and develop language and early literacy. Most importantly, they have the freedom to express their creativity and curiosity while feeling safe and supported.
We want every child to walk into Kindergarten happy, confident, and eager to learn. That means focusing on the whole child: nurturing intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development through a wide variety of enriching experiences.
At Kids Place Preschool, we see every child as a unique individual. We take pride in creating an environment where children feel loved, accepted, and proud of who they are. Here, they gain confidence, build a positive self-image, and develop the independence and life skills they need to thrive.
Children are encouraged to explore freely—within safe and supportive boundaries—so they can discover their world, try new things, and celebrate their own growth. At Kids Place, we are honored to be part of your child’s early learning journey!
Enrollment Open all year round – serving ages 18 months -12 years old.
Meet Our Founder – Carina Diaz
My name is Carina Diaz, and I am the proud founder and director of Kids Place Preschool. I have been a licensed childcare provider for over 13 years, serving many families in our community and surrounding areas. From a young age, I have loved being with children and making a positive difference in their lives. When my daughter was born, I realized that working with young children was truly my calling.
As a family-oriented person, I understand the importance of providing a loving, supportive, and nurturing environment. I hire and retain qualified teachers who share this vision, so we can offer your family a high-quality preschool experience where every child can thrive.
