Bridging The KinderGarten Gap Year Together

KinderGAP was founded with a simple but powerful vision: no child should start school behind simply because of their birthday. Too many children fall into a “gap year” between preschool and kindergarten where they miss critical early learning and social experiences. KinderGAP was created to close that gap — giving families peace of mind, children a strong foundation, and childcare centers an extra layer of support.

 At KinderGAP, we believe that every child deserves enrichment, every family deserves stability, and every childcare center deserves support. Our programs are built on the understanding that learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom — it happens through play, relationships, and meaningful activities. By surrounding children and families with resources and opportunities, we help create lasting stability that benefits everyone involved. 

KinderGAP is more than a program — it’s a goal-oriented partnership. We act as an external social-work-style service, strengthening childcare centers by providing supplementary tutoring, enrichment, and resources for the children they care for. Families gain access to educational tools, weekend enrichment programs, and wrap-around support that makes learning sustainable at home. Daycare centers gain the reassurance of a partner who complements their weekday care, not competes with it. Together, we make sure every child has the chance to thrive, every parent feels supported, and every center is empowered to offer more.
