KOCO’s Philosophy of Child Care
Kids of Chatham Organization, Inc. -- a nonprofit child care center run by a parent Board of Directors -- is
dedicated to providing high quality child care to children ages 8 weeks to 13 years. Our developmentally
appropriate programs are designed to challenge and enrich children within the structure of a safe and
nurturing environment. At KOCO, we believe that children learn best through hands-on activities, so a typical
day balances structured “academic” lessons with child-initiated active play and exploration. In addition, a
formal conflict resolution and character development program is embedded within the curriculum to support
the social/emotional development of our students. KOCO’s strong ties with the local public library and school
system help us to maintain a dynamic partnership with our local community. The crucial bond between
daycare and home is likewise strengthened by daily communication and myriad opportunities for families to
visit and volunteer. We are proud to be celebrating our 20th year as East Hampton’s premier child care facility!
