KayCare is Permanently Closed
With my Arya going to Kindergarten in Fall 2023 it was always my intent to close KayCare and go back to the classroom… So grateful for the wonderful families I got to work with and this site full of memories we will all cherish.

About KayCare
The KayCare Difference
KayCare was a unique opportunity for children to spend their day in a family home with a professional educator. KayCare ratios were never higher than a 1:5 teacher-to-child ratio. Low ratios and Kay's background in Early Childhood Education allowed true "learning through play" with KayCare Curriculum for Kindergarten Readiness. Please note KayCare is permanently closed but you can check out our curriculum at Facebook: KayCare Pflugerville
