Kids And Company West York

Welcome to Kids & Company West York!

This location was formerly called “Aa to Zz”, but has since been purchased by Kids & Company and now operates with our staff and proprietary programming.

Our location is proudly endorsed by Eco-Healthy Child Care®, a program that partners with child care professionals to eliminate environmental hazards in early learning settings with the goal of protecting the health of children and staff.

We are located in the Township of York, near the intersection of E Berlin Rd. and Lincoln Highway. Our standalone building which our children like to think of as “the castle” gives us a quiet and private place for children to learn. We have a parking lot for parents to use during pick-up and drop-off, and we are within walking distance of a bus stop on Lincoln Highway.

Inside the building, you’ll notice bright colors, big windows, and classrooms that are full of educational and age-appropriate toys. We also have 2 playgrounds outside separated by a fence. Each space contains structures and play equipment to engage children in physical activity based on their level of gross motor development.

Our 6 classrooms can accommodate 83 children in our Infant, Toddler, Preschool, and School Age programs. The School Age program runs Before and After School care, School Break care, and Summer Camp. Transit to and from school is available for students at Wallace Elementary, Lincolnway Elementary, Trimmer Elementary, and West York Middle School at an additional cost. Children who are 6 years and under are welcome on a full-time or part-time basis, with backup care being available if there is space.

At Kids & Company, we use an emergent curriculum and learn-through-play philosophy. This means children are presented with learning opportunities in direct response to their individual interests and skills. Our children are immersed in experiences that enhance language, literacy, a sense of music and rhythm, and socialization so that they may develop independence, confidence and a positive sense of self and the world around them.

We serve our children breakfast, lunch, and snacks each day. Formula is also available for our Infants.

We are proud members of the Keystone STARS (Standards, Training/Professional Development, Assistance, Resources, and Supports) program, a rating system that promotes quality improvement in early learning and development programs and school-age child care. Early learning programs participating in Keystone STARS are rated from STAR 1 to a STAR 4. We have been rated as STAR 4, the highest rating, meaning our staff education, learning environment, leadership/management, and family/community partnerships meet the highest performance standards!
