The KDO program operates Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9AM to 2PM.  We strive to follow the calendar of the Hamilton County Schools as much as possible, especially as it relates to fall, winter, and spring breaks. Our program is a hands on, developmentally appropriate program that meets the needs of the whole child. We use theme based learning, with a curriculum that is based on the needs of our different age groups.  We help our children develop a lifelong love of learning through exploration, free play, and small and large group activities.

Because of the nature of our program, we are not required to be licensed by the State of Tennessee as a child care agency.  However, our practices well exceed those set in the state guidelines.
