  I don’t think Google has enough stars to truly express how happy we are with Deerwood Kindercare. When it was time to enroll my youngest in VPK, I struggled with the decision more than I expected. He was a pandemic baby, and as a work-from-home mom with a very supportive family, I had been fortunate enough to balance work while still seeing him throughout the day during every little break I had. Letting go of that was not easy. I knew how valuable VPK could be because my daughter benefited tremendously from her program years ago, but since we moved, the school she attended was no longer conveniently located for us. I toured several other VPK programs and left each one feeling uneasy and unconvinced. Then I walked into Kindercare and everything changed! From the moment I arrived, I felt an immediate sense of comfort and confidence. Mrs. Ellie, the director, is incredibly hands-on and communicative. She clearly cares deeply about the children and the families. After touring the facility and seeing how clean, organized, and safe everything was, the decision became easy. We enrolled our son in their VPK program and have not regretted it for a single moment. Choosing Kindercare has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our son. His teachers Ms. Laura and Ms. Daysi are absolutely wonderful! They are gentle, patient, and so loving with the children. The way they greet him each morning and the way he runs in to greet them truly says everything! Even the way he talks about his teachers at home makes it clear how safe, supported, and loved he feels there. One thing that meant so much to me as a parent was being able to walk my son into his classroom each day. That small but meaningful detail made such a difference during the transition. Not having to leave my baby at the door helped ease both of our hearts. Even months into the school year, on the occasional morning when he’s having a tough start, the teachers take the time to give him the one-on-one attention and gentle reassurance he needs. Seeing that level of care has helped calm many “mom heart” moments for me, both during those early transition days and even now when a random rough morning pops up. He also loves the breakfast and lunch they provide and proudly tells us about his meals and his day when I pick him up. Kindercare truly feels like a community that cares about the whole child and supports families along the way. We are incredibly grateful for the teachers, staff, and leadership that make this such a special place. If you’re looking for a VPK program where your child will be safe, nurtured, and genuinely loved, I cannot recommend Kindercare enough.

  If I could give this daycare a 1000 star review, I would. I was your typical mom at 3 months having to make the horrible decision to put my new baby in daycare to go back to work. I definitely lost sleep over it, and researched every daycare in miami dade county. I even considered quitting my job to avoid having to make the decision altogether. When I went to visit Ellie, the director, for the first time for a tour, it was nothing but smiles with my baby. I ended up not putting him in for another month and they did not push me not once. Everyday they have my baby doing so many activities, they document everything on the app: eating, they send 2-3 pictures a day of him playing, his diaper changes, his naps. They take them outside, they read to them, they do tummy time. They do special arts and crafts projects to send home. Whatever you want to feed your baby, they comply exactly how you want it without a question. Most importantly, whenever there is an issue, they call right away. My son once had a fever and they made it a point to call immediately to let me know. I can’t say enough great things about this daycare, and I can definitely say I feel a sense of relieve knowing I don’t have to worry about my baby AT ALL while I’m at work. Your babies are in GREAT hands here!
