Since opening its doors, Kids Korner has become a familiar part of the community, providing a safe and nurturing environment where children learn through play and meaningful experiences. Over the years, Kids Korner has cared for generations of families, including former children who now bring their own sons and daughters through its doors.
/23 years of relationships
For Kids Korner Director Tiffany Jones, the anniversary is a reminder of the lasting relationships built with children and their families.
“23 years represents so much more than the number of years we've been open,” Jones said. “It represents thousands of little hands we've held, first steps we've celebrated, friendships we've watched blossom and families who have trusted us with their most precious gift.”
Jones said watching children grow from infancy into adulthood has been one of the most rewarding parts of her career in early childhood education.
“Being part of the lives of so many children and families has been one of the greatest blessings of my life,” Jones said. “Every smile, every milestone and every challenge we've overcome together has strengthened my passion for early childhood education.”
/Why the earliest years matter
Jones said the program's philosophy has always centered on the importance of a child's earliest years.
“I firmly believe that the earliest years of a child's life are the most important,” she said. “With nearly 90% of brain development occurring before age 5, the experiences we provide today help shape the adults they will become tomorrow. That belief has always been at the heart of Kids Korner and continues to guide everything we do.”
/Credit to the teachers and staff
Jones also credited the center's teachers and staff for helping create an environment that families have come to trust.
“This anniversary is also a celebration of our amazing teachers and staff, whose dedication, compassion and hard work make Kids Korner feel like home every day,” Jones said. “It is because of their commitment that we have built lasting relationships with so many families throughout the years.”
/Looking ahead
As Kids Korner celebrates its 23rd anniversary, Jones said the center remains focused on the future.
“We remain committed to providing exceptional care, creating unforgettable childhood experiences and helping every child grow, learn and thrive,” she said.
