  We had our son enrolled at Poinsettia KinderCare starting at 6 months and we only withdrew him due to a relocation when he was 15 months. I cannot express how much we LOVED Poinsettia KinderCare. Our son truly thrived and as a first time parents, we felt so happy watching the director, assistant director and all the teachers love and care for our child the way they did. We truly felt like the Poinsettia team was part of our family and were so sad when we had to leave. I really loved Mandy's (center director) commitment to healthy meals and snacks for the children. We found that meals were always prepared items and not pre-packaged and highly processed. Same with snacks! This was important to us as we introduced our son to solid foods. This center goes out of their way to build a strong sense of community. They did summer events, toddler room art shows, and more where families were invited to come and participate and get involved. We became good friends with other families through these events too! Every day we would drop off our little one and he would be smiling when he entered the center. He would even hug the center director and assistant director goodbye at the end of the day. What Mandy and the Poinsettia KinderCare family have created is truly special. I cannot recommend this location enough!

  We absolutely love Poinsettia Kindercare! It was really hard to leave (we had a job move that changed our commute and we had to switch daycares). We sent our baby there from 7/8 months until 2 years old. The staff is SO loving, and I just feel so grateful for that. It can be scary sending your baby or toddler to new care, and I felt so relieved seeing how much the teachers genuinely care about the kids. I felt like my kiddo was genuinely loved. I will also forever be impressed with the activities they come up with for the kids! Every day there is something new and they devise really great weekly curriculum (yes curriculum, even for babies and toddlers--My son learned so much here and was so confident and happy here) with a lot of hands-on sensory play, outside time, crafts, just a lot freaking cool things that I felt like my kid was able to do outside of what I do with him (and frankly, cooler stuff that I would never have thought of). A LOT of time and thoughtfulness goes into these activities and the organization of them. Shout out to teachers we still miss and who I'll forever be grateful to: Ms. Yesenia, Ms. Tomoko, Ms. Leti, Ms. Vanessa, Ms. Annie, and the wonderful guidance of Director Melissa and Asst. Director Corrie, who I think set the tone for the whole school. They even create a whole summer program for the kids with hot weather activities and new things to do (this felt really special since my kid was in care full time throughout the year, I love that the school made it feel like summer was different from the rest of the year and something to look forward to) with summer t shirts and water bottles. Each week was a new theme, and they work really hard to bring in learning opportunities and outside entertainment for the kids--for example, they had an animal handler bring in animals for the kids to learn about and even pet some of them. The school even put on seasonal events for the kids on campus to attend with their families, which was SO cool--I was so impressed w/ the festivals they create with games, food, and activities, and all are welcome. One time we brought my 4 year old (who went to a different school) w us to the festival and they were so welcoming to her too, which I thought was great. One thing I'll never forget being amazed by is how ALL the staff (even teachers who did not have my kiddo in their class) knew my kid by name and had something nice to say whenever they saw him and as we walked the halls, and what really blew me away was that they also knew my daughters' name (she doesn't even go there!) and always said hi to her too. Just the most welcoming, organized, professional, loving staff and school. Thank you for our time here, I am forever grateful.

  When my wife and I had to go back to work after the initial COVID lockdown our previous childcare center was not open, so we decided to enroll our son in the Poinsettia Kindercare. We have been very impressed with how they are handling the social distancing and safety guidelines at this center. It is hard not being able to go in to pick up my son, but he is always brought out promptly and with a huge smile on his face! Even without being able to go into the building, we have been able to build a good relationship with the teachers. They have been doing a great job communicating how his days have gone in the classroom. Our son is always excited to go to “school” every morning, he even rushes us so he can get there. He constantly talks about his teachers and it makes us feel like he is being treated like family at this center.

  The staff where lovely and were very welcoming, but unfortunately our experience was not great. Day 1, my 2 year old got punched in the eye, Day 2 her diaper was put on backwards when we picked her up, Day 3 my VEGAN daughter got fed a turkey sandwich even though I had clearly communicated she was vegan. We pulled our daughter out straight away and found a great school where from day 1 she was very happy. I am sure many parents have had great experience and their kids loved it, this is just my experience and sure it was an unfortunate case of events. Like I said the staff couldn’t of been nicer and did apologise. It just wasn’t a fit for our family and we made the decision to look elsewhere which turned out great. So overall everything worked out.
