Kathy Balderrama
Owner & Creator
Hi, I am Kathy Balderrama. My passion for children has grown over the years. The center opened fulfilling a concept and a dream I had. The calming colors, the animal tie, opening with accreditation standards as our philosophy… The early childhood industry is the most impactful industry on an individual’s future. Research shows that the brain develops more in the first 5 years of life than at any other time in life. Early brain development has a long-lasting impact on a child’s ability to learn. Having that much influence over a child’s long-term success is priceless. I can provide a safe, quality-oriented play-based center but also need to manage staff to be a positive impact on children’s lives. I have my altered passion for running the center to include childcare advocacy, staff mentorship, and professional development.
I would be thrilled to give you a tour and answer any questions you have about our learning center.

Children’s Safari is a great place to work.
Hi, my name is Brandie and I’ve worked at Children’s Safari Learning Center. Children’s Safari is a great place to work. All of the staff are respectful of each other and help each other out. Most importantly we all love children and go above and beyond to make sure they are safe, happy, and educated.

We value the children enrolled and their families. The best part of working for Children’s Safari Learning center is getting to see the children grow and learn. I would recommend our center to families looking for a safe, loving, environment for their children and to friends looking for employment.

We value the children and their families.
Children’s Safari Learning center is like a big family. I feel welcomed here. Respect to me is HUGE and I feel like everyone here has it for each other. I come to work and stay in a good mood all day. I would recommend this center to my sister and nephew. He is a year and at my old center. I’d love for him to be where I know he will be in good hands.

Children’s Safari is a great place to work.
I’ve worked for Children’s Safari Learning Center for 5 years. Our center has an open door allowing parents to come visit their children throughout the day. The best part of our center is the separate infant rooms. We have one room for little infants and one room for those that are moving around. I love watching the babies learn and grow. I would recommend Children’s Safari to anyone looking for childcare. I also like that I can talk to the director and be comfortable!
