    I’m writing this review because I believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and treated equally in their childcare environment. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed ongoing concerns in my daughter’s classroom with Ms. Natalie. It often seems like certain children are favored, while others are treated differently, which creates an uncomfortable atmosphere for the kids. Another major concern is the tone and volume frequently used when speaking to the children. There have been several instances where Ms. Natalie raises her voice or screams at the class, which I feel is inappropriate for 3–4-year-olds who are still learning, growing, and finding themselves. At this age, children need patience, consistency, and gentle guidance. I hope this feedback encourages positive changes, because the children deserve a nurturing and supportive environment where they all feel equally valued.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about KinderCare! It was a big adjustment for my daughter going from being home with me to starting preschool, but the staff showed so much patience and care, helping her feel comfortable, warm up, and eventually adjust to preschool. She absolutely thrived there; every day was full of learning, fun, and care. The teachers are truly amazing! Ms. Becca played such a special role in my daughter’s preschool experience; her patience, kindness, and encouragement made a huge difference in helping her feel comfortable and confident. Along with Ms. Caprese, Ms. Natalie, and the rest of the amazing team, they were so kind and supportive, and really helped her grow both academically and socially. I also want to highlight the assistant director, Ms. Ana, who was always approachable, supportive, and attentive to any concerns we had. Another special thank you to Ms. Maria, who handled food preparation with so much care and diligence because of my daughter’s food allergy. Now that she’s in TK, I can clearly see the benefits of her time at KinderCare; she’s confident, curious, and ready to learn. Her ability to adapt in a new classroom setting is a direct result of the foundation built at KinderCare. Highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a safe and nurturing environment! :)

    Working with this corporation has been the biggest nightmare. My children have never attended this school. Six months after our tour I'm still getting calls saying that we missed a payment. I spoke to the family line who say to call the center and talk with the director, which I have multiple times, and she says I have no outstanding payments. Fast-forward to today where I receive an email from a debt collecting agency. A DEBT COLLECTING AGENCY! MY KIDS NEVER ATTENDED THE SCHOOL! I don't know who to talk to. I keep getting the run around and I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

    Our son has been with Kindercare since August 19, 2019 and has had such a great experience. His teachers care so much about him and his progress, and as educators we appreciate all the learning experiences they provide. We take great comfort in leaving our son with them every day. Highly recommend Kindercare! Great staff and facility!
