Why Safari Kid?

WHAT SETS SAFARI KID APART?

Safari Kid is a lifestyle business operating Monday–Friday, 8 to 5. Today's busy dual-income families are always on the go. Often they spend their hard-earned money on daycare facilities and nannies with no added value.

Compare that with Safari Kid’s eclectic philosophy of child care, which focuses on overall emotional and social well-being as well as the goal of stimulating healthy brain development. By selecting the best components of the Reggio Emilia and Montessori methods, the proprietary Safari Kid preschool curriculum and state-of-the-art environment was carefully developed.

Rather than focusing solely on their age, each child’s learning experience is determined by their unique abilities and skill sets. This allows each student to reach their full potential at their own pace.

Safari Kid not only provides preschool programs that encourage lifelong learning. We also offer enrichment in the form of after-school programs for children in kindergarten through 8th grade. Our summer camps combine academics with sports, learning new skills, and a lot of heart-healthy and wholesome fun!

Ideal Candidate

Although an owner-operated Safari Kid is ideal, semi-absentee or absentee owners have also proven to be successful.

Safari Kid owners should be savvy enough to discern when their presence is needed and when they can leave the bulk of responsibilities to a strong Director/Site Supervisor.
