The K.E.N.T. Way

Care For Every Age And Stage

Children change so much in their first twelve years, and each stage asks for something a little different. That is why every K.E.N.T. program is designed for exactly where your child is right now, with the right mix of play, learning, and care. And as they grow, they grow with us, staying part of the same family from their very first days through the school-age years. Here's how we support each stage.

Licensed by DCY ✦ Ages 6 Weeks to 12 Years ✦ Low Teacher-to-Child Ratios ✦ CPR & First Aid Certified ✦ PFCC/Title XX Accepted ✦ Family-Owned Since 2022

Getting Started Is Simple

Enrolling your child is easy. It starts with a tour, where you can meet our teachers, see our classrooms, and picture your child's day with us. When you are ready, we walk you through a few enrollment forms and reserve your child's spot, and because we accept PFCC/Title XX assistance and private pay, quality care stays within reach. From there, we ease your little one in gently, so those very first days feel safe, warm, and familiar.

✦ Kindness

We teach children to notice others, share, and treat everyone with care, because small acts of kindness shape big hearts.

✦ Empathy

Children learn to understand how others feel and to respond with patience, building the foundation for real, lasting friendships.

✦ Nurturing

Every child is known and supported here, encouraged to try, grow, and feel secure enough to become fully themselves.

✦ Teamwork

Through play and shared projects, children learn to cooperate, take turns, and discover how much more we can do together.

The Heart Behind Our Name

K.E.N.T. Academy began in 2022, born from love and loss. We built it in honor of our brother, Kent, who passed from COVID-19 and lived every day by kindness, empathy, nurturing, and teamwork. Those values became our name and our promise to your family. Through every child who walks through our doors, a piece of Kent keeps growing and making a difference.
