Our highly trained staff focuses on both the developmental needs and the interests of the child, ensuring that the learning experience is engaging and impactful.
Indoor and Outdoor Play
Play is an essential part of your child’s development, and we make sure that every day includes both indoor and outdoor play. These play sessions are not only fun but also contribute significantly to cognitive, physical, and emotional development. Studies show that movement enhances memory and mood, and that’s why we ensure that outdoor play is part of your child's daily routine, along with creative and social indoor activities.
Your child will have the freedom to explore, play, and learn in a safe and structured environment.
Nutritious Meals
We know that proper nutrition is key to your child’s health and development, which is why we offer well-balanced meals throughout the day. At Hakuna Matata Kid Care, we serve nutritious breakfasts, lunches, and two snacks daily. All meals are prepared with care, using fresh ingredients, and designed to support healthy growth. We are a peanut- and tree-nut-free facility to ensure the safety of all our children.
Our meals meet the dietary needs of young children, supporting their learning and physical development.
Development Activities
Through a variety of structured and unstructured activities, we encourage creativity, problem-solving, and emotional growth in every child. Our development activities are carefully designed to help children grow in key areas such as language, math, and social skills. By engaging in arts, crafts, reading, and physical play, children develop confidence and the ability to interact with their peers.
Our activities are updated regularly to ensure they align with your child’s developmental stage.
