Services
Kid's Kountry was started in 1987 by Greg and Karen Sowards. Being proud parents of 6 children and now 30 grandchildren they knew they were good at doing one thing - raising kids with good, old fashioned principles and values. The original Kid's Kountry is located in a rural setting with horses, goats and chickens, helping to earn the name of Kid's Kountry.
Kid's Kountry employs quality educators who are trained in observation, documentation and curriculum planning. We have an open door policy with the families of our children. We strive to include children with mild developmental delays and disabilities but we are not trained to care for children with severe disabilities.
Learning and development are emphasized at Kid's Kountry. We keep little minds, hands and bodies busy in many ways. Our goal is to help them to feel independent, learn how to be courteous to adults and other children, and to be fascinated by the world around them.
When a child has a strong self-esteem and a lively curiosity as a result of a good home life and day care experience, then he/she will be eager and able to take on the challenges of school.Pre-reading/ writing and math skills are taught daily through age appropriate activities. Our staff attend workshops and have been trained in an excellent pre-school curriculum.

We use age appropriate activities with the children at Kids's Kountry. We believe that play is the most important work of young children. We are always changing and updating our toys and equipment, as well as art supplies. At Kid's Kountry, we feel that the adults are facilitators of play, providing an interesting room arrangement, choice of centers and enticing projects.
We encourage the children to obey the rules. We try to have important rules that do not interfere with the enthusiasm and energetic nature of the young child. Of course, hitting, biting and similar behaviors will be curtailed by first noting what motivated the problem and helping the offending child to find another way of coping with his/her problem.
