Miss Melanie is awesome!! She’s caring, communicative, and thoughtful. My son loves going to her classroom everyday and can’t wait to get his stickers for being “the best helper”! We couldn’t ask for a better teacher.

Our family loves Hockessin Kindercare! Every teacher my girls have had has been really attentive, smart, caring and very special... especially Ms. Bela! She is superhuman! She can be everywhere, do anything, and always has each child's needs in mind. Ms. Denise, Ms. Heather, and Ms. Kim always make sure the building is well-run and have individual relationships with each child, as well. We've been really well-cared for here and they have been a GREAT partner in raising our kids!

After deciding to send my 2-year old son to a daycare center, I have been doing research on nearby centers and have visited quite a few, finally we have chosen Hockessin KinderCare because of its cleanliness and large space, as well as plenty of educational toys and staff. After been here for a while, we are very glad and feel lucky that we chose this center. Toddlers are not easy to take care but teachers here are great that they take care of my son very well. Ms Shay has been with my son since his day one and she is like his school-mom. He loves her and always mention to share her a bite when he got something good even at home. Ms Denise and Ms Lauren always communicate in time for any event or changes in the center through their app, especially for illness notifications which parents worry about most, and the teachers always post everyday activities and videos onto it, I love them. I couldn't express how much I appreciate the teachers who has taken care of my child, I can trust everyone there. If families are looking for a daycare center for your little ones, please consider and visit it here, more than likely you will love it here too!

My daughter attended this facility for 3 months, I have waited a few months since we enrolled her at another place before writing this review.
If you have a hyper child who has outbursts of emotions and tests boundaries— the director of this location will do whatever she can to label your child and call you after any incident to have child picked up for early dismissal. As parents we started believing that our child might have emotional delay and started getting help from the school district to early intervene.
If you ask about their methods of dealing with unwanted behavior, you won’t be able to talk to the teacher— because only director can communicate with parents about any classroom issues. There is no consistency or any age appropriate methods to help guide your child.
It’s really scary that this place has such a “good reputation”.
Since we enrolled my daughter at another facility— literally zero behavioral issues or complaints by the teachers or the daycare director, she’s learning about her emotions, she’s being guided instead of being labeled. She doesn’t require additional learning support because her teacher is an educator who teaches her to manage her behavior and emotions.
I know this place was not a right fit for my family— and that’s ok. However, a childcare facility SHOULDN'T ever be allowed to operate this way. As a parent, I have major trust issues after my experience with Hockessin KinderCare because I really hoped they had my child’s best interest in mind. Instead, they are operating as a business and not an educational institution.
