  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.

  The director Monica is absolutely unprofessional and a mistake to have running this daycare. My older kids used to go here and when I wanted to enroll my baby I had to find a new place since she has clearly run this place into the ground. I’d say go elsewhere unless they bring in someone else. She has far too many kids with one adult in the classrooms that it’s so chaotic and no structure. I saw some lady asleep on the floor in her office, she was obviously trying to hide it with the blinds shut to her office. I caught a conversation between her and an employee in the hall and the way she spoke to them was horrifying. I’d recommend anywhere else until they replace her..

  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.

  Santee Kindercare was truly a blessing for our family. Being far from our family and friends and new to the county, this place helped us out by taking good care of our daughter, who had no friends here. Start was dramatic but these people literally made my 2 year old daughter love it! Now she doesn't rush to go home and I see how gladly she goes back to "school " every morning. Her teacher Ms Fabiola is the best! Responsive and reliable, friendly and so nice! My daughter says "Ms Fabiola is my friend ', should I say more?! The stuff also is very friendly and responsive. I recommend Santee Kindercare! ❤

  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!
