Kessler Park United Methodist Church Parents Day Out (PDO) has served the community for more than five decades. We are excited to formally announce that we have expanded and transitioned to a full time early childhood development program, which also comes along with a name change, Kessler Park Day School (KPDS). We are a full time program, with more infant rooms and classrooms. We now have the capacity to care for 44 infants per day and up to 102 children in total. We are excited about this expansion because it allows us to serve more children and families in the community and meet the growing need for full time care. We have a loving and professional staff that is committed to ensuring your child(ren) feels loved, safe, and secure while in our care.
Early childhood development provides the building blocks for educational achievement. KPDS will provide a solid early childhood program built around activities that enhance growth in the following main areas: language and literacy, cognitive skills, physical well - being and motor development, socio emotional development, and spiritual development. These building blocks are essential to the healthy and holistic development of young children.
