The mission of the Cub Kids program is to ensure that no child starts behind; and that every child is ready to enter Kindergarten as a confident and capable student. Our goals are to teach children in a developmentally appropriate environment that encourages growth for children socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. We believe that all children deserve a safe place to grow to their fullest potential. Our staff members strive to provide program activities that are based on the uniqueness within each group of children. *Cub Kids follows the NLS district calendar, with the exception of Election Day.
