CHILDCARE

Year Round Childcare Solutions

In the fall of 1991, Jack & Jill Preschool added Childcare that is licensed by the State of Kansas, and now serves the needs of the greater Leavenworth community. Our program is designed to accommodate toilet trained children ages 2 ½ through 5 years during the school year. Unlike part day Preschool, Jack & Jill Childcare is a year round program serving full time and part time needs. However, it shares the same common goals as Jack & Jill Preschool. We strive to help each child develop to his/her fullest potential, while providing a warm and nurturing environment. Each class has a student/teacher ratio of 12 to 1 for 3-6 year olds and 10 to 1 for 2 ½ year olds. For more information about the program and enrollment please call us at (913) 682-1222.
