Kid Time, Inc

Specialties

Preschool and Childcare for ages 2 – 6. Hands on, play based learning!

History

Established in 1984.

Steve Wilson started Kid Time after many years of working with school aged children at the YMCA daycare. He started out with 20 children and after a couple of years Steve added on to the building to accommodate 40 preschoolers, where we happily remained for nearly 30 years.

Steve’s vision was to create a child centered, play based atmosphere where kids can really be kids. Over time we have evolved to also meet the growing need for Kindergarten readiness. We have developed a curriculum that encompasses our play based philosophy but also prepares the children for Kindergarten academically and social emotionally.

Today we are a well known school who prides itself on our community of families that we have fostered. Our alumni visit us often and always come back to see us at our Annual Cinco de Mayo party.

We expanded our program in February 2014, and moved to a new location, 200 Mayhew Way in Walnut Creek. We now have 80 children and 16 staff members.
