  I very rarely leave negative reviews and I have spent some time thinking this one over. I think the best way to explain the reason for my negative review is to tell you about our experience with the Pre-Kindergarten program at Prattville KinderCare. My 4-year-old child was enrolled in Prattville Kindercare from August of 2018 through February of 2019. I had high hopes for his time at KinderCare, as I had heard from other parents about the high quality of the KinderCare program and I had been impressed by the environment and materials they had for the children to work with. My child’s first few months at KinderCare seemed to go well enough. I noticed that there were some peer difficulties and picking up of bad habits (potty language and bad behavior) from the other kids, but I continued to counsel towards better behavior and figured it was a part of the age. Then, after the Christmas holidays he started becoming very hesitant to go to school in the mornings. I started getting bad behavior reports from his teacher on a regular basis. I would counsel my child towards better behavior. I was becoming more perplexed by this behavior and its intensity. Our previous preschool did not have these issues with my child and only occasionally had a bad day. Here, my child was frequently coming home with bad behavior reports. Our time at KinderCare came to an end when he kept breaking down in the mornings and refusing to go to school. It was clear to me that my child wasn’t thriving at Prattville KinderCare. During that week I had a chat with the director who mentioned he was having frequent emotional meltdowns. She thought that perhaps the problem was that the program he came from did not have the level of structure that KinderCare does. I disagreed with that, knowing about the program and excellent teacher he came from. I noted that the teacher rarely, if ever, said anything positive to me about my child. My child has been at his new preschool for two weeks, and in the presence of adults who are miles more loving and caring than anything I saw at KinderCare, he is once again thriving, no longer saying he does not want to attend school, and happier every single day. His teachers report only minor behavioral issues and my child once again shows remorse and an intention to improve his behavior. His energy is better, his smile is brighter, and since he’s left the KinderCare program he has told us a little more about what happened. He told us his teacher was regularly mean to him and his peers. He’s told us he felt like she did not like him or care about him. Finally, he’s said he is very happy that he never has to go back there. I strongly feel that all children in preschool programs deserve to feel loved, cared about, and seen by their care providers. This is not the vibe I ever got from my son’s teacher at KinderCare. I cannot speak to the other teachers at the center, but I cannot recommend their pre-K program and would not recommend the center in general.
