About Us

We accept children from 6 weeks through 12 years old. Reservations are required for infants.
Kidz Watch began in 2002 as primarily a drop in child care option for busy parents. As a pioneer in the industry, our concept constantly evolved, emerging as one of the first in the industry to develop Drop In and Flexible child care under one roof. The Kidz Watch system is designed to put time back on your side! Whether you need to find backup for your regular child care, get to an appointment, run errands, or just enjoy dinner and a movie, Kidz Watch focuses on flexibility and can meet your child care needs! Reservations are appreciated but not required for children 18 months to 12 years of age.

About Kidz Watch...

Kidz Watch drop-in & flexible full-time care centers are state-licensed facilities devoted to providing you with top-rate, dependable childcare on the spur-of-the-moment, and first-rate fun for your child. Whether you need to go to an appointment, get your hair done, take in a movie, go out for dinner, run some errands, or just need a backup to your regular childcare, we are here to meet your childcare needs.

Kidz Watch also offers flexible part/full time child care for parents that need regular care for their children, especially for those non-traditional hours. We have qualified Preschool teachers running our preschool program and the small, intimate setting allows your child to flourish.

Center Design

Kidz Watch has been carefully designed to provide a safe and secure environment for children, focusing on security, fire safety, and peace of mind for parents. Each age group has their own specified classroom and lead teacher. Children are encouraged to participate in the exciting curriculum we have planned for them, but if they are just dropping in, they are allowed to choose another activity.

Our facility has been designed for optimum safety. A front door lock system allows only parents and guardians of children into the center. The door is locked at all times. Background checks are done on all staff members. We also have a biometrics reader and all parents and staff are required to log in to the center using their fingerprints. All parents and possible pick up people are also fingerprinted and photographed into our software system. Safety is our top priority!

Frequently Asked Questions

Registering at Kidz Watch is easy, but you do need to allow an extra 15 minutes on your first visit to be set up into our secure software system with your fingerprints and photos. Once you are set up in our system, the drop off, pick up and payments are easy! Please download our registration forms off of our website to speed up the enrollment process. Medicals are required for children under the age of 5 that are not yet in school within 30 days from their first visit.

Families will have two options to pay for child care:

– Cash, credit card or automatic debit from a checking or savings account at each visit. We accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover.

– Full time or Part time customers will have either their checking or savings account debited on the 1st day of every week for full time or part time care. Tuition Express offers another option of paying with an automatic debit from your credit card.

When you make a reservation we are able to guarantee your spot. Because our schedule is very full, we cannot give a spot away without payment. For your benefit and for scheduling purposes we cannot allow clients to use spots and then not pay for them.

Families who wish to withdraw from our full time or flexible care program are asked to provide us a two week notice. Drop In Care does not require any notice.

Our wait list can tend to get long for flexible care, particularly in the infant room and two weeks notice gives us sufficient time to cancel your enrollment and fill your class spot.. Also, we determine our staffing needs, supplies and other operational costs based on the enrollment for each month.

If you join in the middle of the week, you can choose to pay hourly, daily, full time or part time rates depending on what you need. You will then go into our automatic billing system for all future weeks. You can change weekly how you want to be billed. That is part of the Kidz Watch difference…you can change your package according to your child care needs!

Due to operational costs, and because we are so flexible already, no refunds or transfers will be given.

Some of our students and many of our parents have become attached to their teachers. Our teachers are wonderful and we continue to make decisions regarding where teachers are placed based on our effort to provide the best Kidz Watch experience possible for everyone. We know that different students respond to different teaching personalities. We will always try to accommodate these needs. We cannot guarantee a teacher and we will always reserve the right to change teachers if necessary.

Infant spots fill very quickly and a non-refundable $10 fee (one hour) will be charged to your account if you are a no show.

At Kidz Watch we are very sensitive to the development of the children and their needs. We will maintain open lines of communication with the parents and the transition will be gradual from one room to the next. Your Administrator will discuss the transition with you to make it the most comfortable for your child.

If a group class has only a few children in it in it we do reserve the right to consolidate that class while still maintaining state ratios. This is usually only early in the morning or late at night when the children are brought to one group if numbers are low.

All of our teachers go through an extensive hiring process and training period at Kidz Watch. They are all extremely qualified in working with children. Lead teachers are assigned to each age group. We will make the transition to a new teacher as smooth as possible. However, we cannot control events that may occur in our teacher’s lives that may require them to change their schedules occasionally.

Even though we do not require contracts, as a courtesy we would like families who wish to withdraw from our full time or flexible care program to provide us a two week notice. Drop In Care does not require any notice.

*Kidz Watch is a state licensed child care program! We strive to exceed all state standards and provide exceptional care!
