About
Kidspace Child Enrichment Center offers children activities that include dance, arts, crafts, math, science, sensory experiences, music, building blocks, table toys and manipulatives, and time in libraries and art centers. Children also use a gym and outdoor play areas, and they spend time in creative studio spaces. One parent described the gym as feeling like an American Ninja Warrior training space for their child.
Kidspace Child Enrichment Center programs are based on developmentally appropriate practices for young children in a warm, stimulating environment, with a focus on kindergarten readiness and the development of the whole child, including academic, physical, emotional, and socialization skills. The program offers learning-infused play within a supportive environment, using a rich, play-based curriculum where students choose which daily provocations to pursue while teachers provide guidance. Spaces are described as bathed in natural light, thoughtfully arranged, and rich with materials that invite curiosity and independence, including creative studio spaces that encourage imagination and collaboration, along with gym and outdoor play areas.
Kidspace Child Enrichment Center was founded in December 1999 as a preschool in Vancouver, Washington, and has operated for 25 years as a place where children are known, supported, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. The school is owner-led, with Kathy serving as owner and director, and she is described as an experienced educator who is present and engaged in the daily life of the school. Families describe the staff as skilled, long-term educators and note that the program’s values are influenced by Bev Bos, Howard Gardner, Loris Malaguzzi, and Nellie Edge. Kidspace participates in Washington’s Early Achievers program, a voluntary quality rating and improvement system that supports high standards in early learning. The program is described as having Christian values, with a belief in God and a commitment to serving Christ through serving children and families, without teaching doctrine.
Parent testimonials describe teachers who are caring, thoughtful about activities that interest and challenge each student, and dedicated to supporting social and emotional skills. One parent notes that everyone knows their family’s names and is careful and thoughtful about their child’s allergies, and that their child is excited to go to school and comes home with new projects and stories. Another parent reports that after visiting several preschools, they chose Kidspace because they observed happy, engaged, supported independent play, and they describe the director as thoughtful, reflective, and compassionate. A parent of a child whose first language was Vietnamese shares that staff are “all in on student-centered learning” and that arts, crafts, and activities are “next level” compared to other preschools. Other parents mention that their children have attended for multiple years, that the curriculum is in-depth and suited to the age group, and that the environment is loving and safe, with attention to manners, feelings, and basic life and self-managing skills. One parent of an introverted only child notes that their child loves Kidspace, enjoys the gym and outdoor time, and experiences the gym as an American Ninja Warrior training space, and another parent states that both of their children excelled when entering kindergarten after attending Kidspace.
