Our Story and Staff
KACP opened its doors in January 2015, under the current Director, Tia Botello. The original two day, mother’s day out program, quickly flourished into a five day, licensed program for the Zilker community. KACP began it’s program with four children and has since then, grown to its full capacity of 133 children, Monday through Friday. Our staff is dedicated to providing the loving and inclusive environment that is at the heart of the KACP community and qualified to guide your child through the developmental stages that form the foundation of their education.
