My husband and I absolutely love University Children's Care! This is my first daycare experience and I am super impressed! My son has been going to UCC since he was 8 months old. He started in the infant classroom and is now in the toddler classroom. Throughout these room changes he has had the GREATEST teachers :) My son adores each teacher which makes drop off so easy. The daycare director, Linzi, and the assistant director, Megan, are super communicative and friendly. I am a big fan of the app they use - I feel connected to my son throughout the day with updates and adorable pictures. Choosing a daycare is a big decision for any parent and I am very happy with UCC. I know my son is safe, in a clean environment and adored.

The teachers group up with students to bully and harass an autistic student, daily They hit him and hide it. They actively encourage students to isolate and bully him by egging them and openly discussing him in a derogatory way. This place also pushes certain agendas I dont think are age appropriate. Protect your children from this place and take them elsewhere.
Response to reply: no, teachers and regional director are all in on it. The regional director is not into wholesome things. Protect your children, take them elsewhere, I'm warning you all.

We have had our son enrolled in daycare here for four plus months and have been extremely happy with how it has gone. The staff is very nice, communicates well both in person and via the KinderCare app (which is great and allows us to see pictures and updates throughout the day) and has been very welcoming to us and our son. Our individual teachers in the classroom have gotten to know our son and have been a great part of his growth and maturing. He actually smiles/squeals with joy most days when he recognizes where we are going. Definitely recommend!

My daughter has been going here for about 8 or 9 months, and we've loved it. The teachers are delightful and great at interacting with the kids. The administrators have been good at responding to issues that have come up and have made us feel well cared for.
