AppliedKids is a child development center serving children, ages 3 months to 6 years of age, of Applied Medical team members. The AppliedKids child development center believes that learning emerges through children’s interests and interactions with their peers, adults and the environment. Additionally, we believe relationships are a key component of young children’s social-emotional development; therefore, we strive to provide children with a safe and engaging learning environment where they can build trusting relationships with their teachers and peers. We achieve this by having intentional interactions with the child to develop trust, foster autonomy, and provide uninterrupted time for play.
