KIDCO Child Care Inc. is a community based, non-profit organization aimed to meet the early care and education needs of at-risk children and families who reside in Wynwood and adjacent communities.
The children and families served are characterized as single parent families, from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, lacking in education, facing high-unemployment, needing employability skills, and living below or at poverty levels.
Our mission at KIDCO Child Care, Inc. is to provide comprehensive quality early childhood services to our young children, ages birth to five by…
Provide a quality early care and education program for children between birth and school entrance age and their families.
Founded in 1926, The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is the world's largest organization working on behalf of young children with nearly 80,000 members, a national network of more than 300 state and local Affiliates, and a growing global alliance of like-minded organizations.
The High/Scope educational approach emphasizes "active participatory learning." This refers to children having direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events, and ideas. Also children’s interests and choices are at the heart of the High/Scope programs. They construct their own knowledge through interactions with the world and the people around them. Children take the first step in the learning process by making choices and following through on their plans and decisions. This approach is consistent with the best practices recommended by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), Head Start Performance Standards, and other guidelines for developmentally based programs.
YOGA!!!
On November 15, 2011 KIDCO children 2 and older began taking Yoga classes. We are excited to offer this new component to our curriculum. Children need to learn to find balance in their lives. We feel that teaching Yoga to children will help them develop better body awareness, self-control, flexibility and coordination. These skills will benefit them beyond the classroom. We have contracted Jill Rapperport who is an experienced and professional Yoga Instructor.
As a point of quick reference please check the monthly calendar which is most suitable for you and your child.
Here we will include special events regarding our children, families and agency in general. For example, you will be able to see the specific dates for our YOGA classes here.

Emergency Preparedness
Safety is always a priority. The KIDCO COOP guide was developed to identify the existing resources and the needed resources KIDCO would need to align in order to offer the KIDCO children, parents, staff and community friends and partners the most reliable and operational services possible during and after any potential emergency.
Communication is key to our success. Each month KIDCO EXPRESS News Letter is shared to bring you a listing of dates and times when special events, birthdays, trainings will take place. Please read the newsletter and stay informed. Sign up here.
