Buildings for Each Age Level

We have separate buildings for each age level of child care. The first is for infants and toddlers, better known as freshmen and sophomores. The second is for the upperclassmen (aka juniors, seniors, and masters). Keeping the kiddos separate ensures their safety and allows staff to keep a closer eye on each group. Each morning, we offer curbside drop-off services for our upperclassmen, making it both quick and convenient for parents.

Buildings for Each Age Level

Our campus consists of 3 separate buildings connected through our playground for each age level of child care. The first is for infants and early toddlers, better known as freshmen and sophomores. The second building's focus on older toddlers and two year olds as we transition them to become preschoolers. For the upperclassmen, ages three and above we have our third building. Keeping the kiddos separate ensures their safety and allows staff to keep a closer eye on each group. Each morning, we offer curbside drop-off services for our upperclassmen, making it both quick and convenient for parents.

Dining/Activity Room

When it’s time for breakfast, lunch, or snacks, Columbia Kinder College offers our own dining room separate from the classrooms. By preparing meals in our own kitchen, we can assure parents that their children will get the proper nutrients while catering to those who have special diets and/or food allergies. When not being used as a dining room, we transform this area into the activity room where special activities such as tumbling/gymnastics, painting, sculpting, and dancing take place.

CKC Playgrounds

At Columbia Kinder College, we know the outdoors is an ideal environment for promoting gross motor development. Therefore we offer separate, age-appropriate playground areas varying in skill levels to promote balance, perceptual judgment, and coordination. We’ve installed cushioned bounce-back tiles under and around our commercial equipment, which are necessary for protecting children from falls. Our childcare center offers adult supervision that will encourage social and physical development. Vinyl privacy fencing surrounds the playgrounds to ensure safety and security. In addition to our playgrounds, we also provide outdoor areas for seasonal gardening activities.


We’re always excited to hear from parents who are interested in our childcare program for their kids. Reach out to Columbia Kinder College today and give your child an exciting new future in our care. From infants to preschool-aged children, we’re prepared to keep your kids safe and happy all day long.
