Kids Village
The doors to Kids Village opened in 2003 to reveal a breathtaking storybook village with bright classrooms and creative workshops. Each beautiful room with its dazzling storefront is thoughtfully designed to stimulate all five senses in a warm, creative, and accepting atmosphere. Our programs include early preschool, preschool, and kindergarten, teaching children from ages 2 ½ to 6. Within the bright and spacious Kids Village classrooms are experienced and accomplished teachers that utilize Saxon curriculum combined with our Five-Senses Learning approach. This creates a hands-on environment that allows children to discover individual talents and abilities while developing self-confidence and a genuine passion for learning. Kids Village was created by Ann Whittaker, recipient of the Arthur V. Watkins award for Business Woman of the Year by the Provo/Orem Chamber of Commerce in 2008. Since its opening, Kids Village has been directed by Kathleen Jensen, who has educated Utah children for over 30 yeas in both public and private settings. Beginning with an enrollment of only 13 students and two educators, Kids Village quickly grew and has maintained full enrollment since 2008 with a waiting list filled primarily by referrals from delighted parents. In 2015, Kids Village expanded their school with a 6,000 square foot addition with 6 new classrooms, a library, and a state-of-the-art technology center. To-date, Kids Village’s single location in Orem, Utah has served thousands of children ages two through eight across Utah, Salt Lake, and Wasatch Counties.
