Our Program

We offer programs for children ranging from infant to school age.

If you have any questions about these programs, please feel free to contact us.

Infant Program (6wks – 2 years)

Our infant program serves children from the ages six weeks to eighteen months and provide the highest quality care in an environment that is designed with the parent and child in mind. Our classrooms are equipped with age-appropriate materials that provide freedom of movement and gentle stimulation. While in our care, the children are stimulated through music, exercise, outdoor blanket time, facial and verbal mimicking as well as lots of hugs and attention. Our loving and nurturing caregivers respond to each child’s needs in our safe, clean, warm and inviting environments. Our goal is designed to duplicate the loving care and nurturing that an infant need to grow and develop to his or her full potential.  Flexible scheduling allows each child to eat, sleep or play according to his or her own natural timetable. Babies have their own crib and the attention of the same staff members daily with a low child to staff ratio. Parents receive a report daily including all meals, diaper changes, and sleep schedules.

Toddler Program (2 – 3 years)

At this age, children are meeting new challenges as fast as they come. These energetic little ones are growing and learning, so we channel their energy into positive learning moments by giving them ample room to move and explore. Children learn best if they are in a stimulating environment. Music, stories, outdoor play, and learning simplicities envelop much of the day. Our teachers are dedicated in helping each child develop these skills through a trusting and loving relationship. A parental daily report is given to update each family on mealtimes, nap times, toilet training and all activities accomplished each day.

Here, toddlers receive encouragement and guidance toward the growth of their physical skills and emerging milestones:

  • Stimulating classroom environments
  • Exclusive milestone-based curriculum
  • Immersive learning experiences
  • Educational toys and activities

Before and After Card (K- 12 years)

We care that your child is ready for elementary school and that they stay on track as a school-age student. As children get older and more independent, they need new challenges. That’s why we offer a school-age program for before and after school care and school breaks that focus on goal-setting and reflection, complemented by homework support, team-building opportunities, and physical activity. Reading, math, and science activities ensure that your child’s mind is engaged and help create a lifelong love of learning and exploration.

Parent Testimonials

“Having been given an opportunity to share a story about such a wonderful environment for our kids to be a part of is such a great time for us to just do so. This daycare and all of its staff is such a Godsend for our children to be taking part in this wonderful place and all of its programs offered here for them to be in. Thank you for allowing us to bring our kids here and also for taking such good care of our precious little ones!”

– Nancy

“We are so happy we found Kids & Giggles.  I literally googled day cares in Wooster because I was working in Wooster but lived in Ashland.  From the minute they answered the phone, to the interview provess, and the first day we were treated with respect, kindness, and support.  Every other place I called was rude, snippy, or told me they were full.  Kids & Giggles even takes our 7 year old son when he doesn’t have school.  Eleanor is lactose intolerant and they are so good about giving her the milk I bring in and dealing with all of the things that come with it.  AMAZING! I would recommend Kids & Giggles again & again!”

– Chris & Erin Thompson

“We have nothing but good things to say about Kids & Giggles. Both of my kids love going there. The teachers take great care of the kids. They are sweet but also tough when they need to be. Mary Jane is awesome and is my oldest sons princess. As a parent, you feel really good when your kids love their teachers because it shows the excelllent job they do!”
