About Kids & Co.
A place for small discoveries, growing friendships, and the people who make childhood feel like childhood.
Childhood is full of little discoveries.
A new word. A friendship taking shape. A question that turns into an afternoon of exploring. At Kids & Co., those everyday moments are the starting point for learning.
Our programs in Turner follow children from infancy through the school years, making room for play, curiosity, and growing independence.
Ganan Mancini opened Kids & Co. with a personal aim: a place where children can grow in confidence, with attention to who they are as individuals.
Since opening in 2023, Kids & Co. has cared for children from more than 300 families.
The people behind the day
Choosing childcare means getting to know the people who will spend time with your child. When you come in for a tour, these are the faces to look for.
