About Our Child Care in Pauls Valley OK
Our Story Since 1988
For more than three decades, Sallys Kinder Kare has been a trusted name in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. Founded in 1988, our center was built on a simple yet powerful belief: every child deserves a safe, loving, and enriching environment. Families have turned to us generation after generation, knowing that we provide more than supervision—we provide guidance, education, and a strong foundation for future success.
Over the years, Sallys Kinder Kare has grown alongside the community. We have cared for infants just beginning their journey and later welcomed their siblings, cousins, and even children of our original graduates. This longevity speaks to the loyalty of our families and the consistent quality of care we deliver.
Why Our Approach to Child Care Matters
Childhood is a time of rapid growth and discovery. Children need caregivers who understand how to nurture curiosity, guide social interactions, and provide safe spaces for exploration. At Sallys Kinder Kare, we integrate early childhood education practices into every classroom routine.
Instead of rushing milestones, we meet each child where they are. Infants receive gentle, responsive care that builds trust. Toddlers are encouraged to explore independence while learning new words and skills. Preschoolers dive into structured play, pre-reading, early math, science, and problem-solving. School-age children benefit from enrichment activities that support both homework and creativity.
Our philosophy is simple:
children learn best when they feel safe, loved, and supported. That is the foundation of everything we do.
The People Behind Sallys Kinder Kare
A Small Team with a Big Impact
With a team of just four dedicated staff members, we maintain a family-like atmosphere. Every child is known by name, every parent is greeted personally, and every classroom is filled with warmth and consistency. Unlike larger centers where children may feel lost in the crowd, our smaller scale allows us to focus on individualized care.
Training and Professional Development
Our staff doesn’t stop learning once credentials are earned. We engage in ongoing professional development, attending workshops and training sessions that keep us current with best practices in early childhood education. From updates in health and safety protocols to innovative teaching strategies, we strive to bring the very best into our classrooms.
Building Trust with Families
We understand that parents are entrusting us with their most precious gift—their child. That’s why we prioritize communication, transparency, and collaboration. Families receive daily updates on meals, naps, activities, and milestones. We welcome questions and encourage ongoing dialogue.
Credentials That Set Us Apart
One of the strongest indicators of quality in child care is the training and experience of staff. At Sallys Kinder Kare, all four of our team members hold Child Development Associate (CDA) credentials and maintain First Aid and CPR certifications. This combination ensures that your child is in the hands of caregivers who understand child development, safety, and effective teaching strategies.

This rating is awarded to centers that demonstrate excellence in staff qualifications, learning environments, family partnerships, and program administration.
