  My daughter has been coming here for about a month now. I absolutely love this place. I feel confident leaving my daughter there. Everytime I ask her how her day went she says she has a great day! Great Staff and Great Communication. I also love the app. Keeps me updated of what my girl is doing. It’s the best.

  I hate leaving negative reviews and so rarely do so. My child came here for a year and we had a normal amount of ups and downs over the year that we were comfortable navigating and we felt that she was always safe. This place just escalated to chaos over the last month and we had to leave. The director and assistant director both left at the same time with one week’s notice. Every time I went into the classroom for drop off or pick up there was a new teacher (that sounds like an exaggeration but it isn’t) which made me feel super uncomfortable from a trust perspective, I used to have relationships with everyone my daughter interacted with. We regularly received messages in the morning that there were staffing issues and we might not be able to leave our kids at drop off. The rooms were all combined due to staffing ratio issues, which then means MORE new faces and environments. The rooms were getting progressively dirtier and messier. The final straw was that my kid is potty training and 3 days in a row when I picked her up, she was wearing diapers that belong to some other kids, developing brutal diaper rash that had her crying for 2 days, when she shouldn’t be in diapers at all. I discussed repeatedly with her teachers and leadership, was assured it wouldn’t happen again each time. We called and let them know this was our final week after the 3rd and final diaper incident in a row. They might improve after all this craziness passes, but right now I do not recommend at all.

  We have been with Smoky Hill KinderCare since they opened, and love it! We are very fortunate and don’t need full time care, but my daughter loved going so much we enrolled full time, and she is so loved and happy each and every day. We feel safe and welcomed, the staff is amazing, my kiddo loves her classmates, and she learns something fun every day. Highly recommend!

  **EDIT TO REVIEW: I want to take a moment to update everyone and shed light on our experience with this center. When we first started, I was genuinely in love with the environment—especially under Jade’s leadership. Her presence made a huge difference, and the center felt like a warm, supportive space for families. After her departure, things unfortunately began to shift. I want to be very clear in saying that the remaining staff did their absolute best with the cards they were dealt. Many of them went above and beyond, and for that, I am truly grateful. I know how exhausting and disheartening it can be to pour yourself into your work and still go unappreciated. That kind of burnout begins to show, and my heart goes out to them. That said, licensing concerns and the overall health and cleanliness of the facility—especially in regard to keeping children healthy—were not where they should have been. And while the staff did their best, those larger issues were outside of their control. “Tina,” who oversees the building as a whole, came across as cold and impersonal. As a parent, I often felt dismissed—not just for myself, but on behalf of my children as well. It’s hard to feel like your presence or concerns don’t matter. This was not an easy decision, and my heart truly breaks having to remove myself and my children from a place we once loved so dearly. Past Review: I want to shed light on this center! We have two small children, and we initially transitioned out of childcare for some time. I was hesitant to bring my children back into a childcare facility. Then, we came across Smoky Hill Kindercare. I have loved every minute of our experience here! The teachers go above and beyond for my littles (both of whom have Developmental and special needs). Having 11 years of experience in this field, I am grateful and proud of this team! I have such a piece of mind leaving my littles here. I want to thank Ms. Jade and Ms. Evelyn for supporting this move and reassuring my family and me. I want to thank Ms. Samira, Ms. Sage, Ms. Alicia, Ms. Kimie, Ms. Megan, and Ms. Hailey for working diligently with my girls on their developmental and mental needs! My three-year-old went from just a few words to thriving in her speech. My soon-to-be one-year-old, who initially wasn’t mobile, is beginning to crawl and even pull up. It has not been an easy road, but my family is very grateful for those mentioned above and the various other team members who love not only me but my littles.
