  Winfield KinderCare is amazing, the staff is thoughtful and assertive. I always am greeted when my child and I walk in. I definitely recommend this center for any of your child care needs

  This facility will not wow you and will not be for you if you are looking for high tech and new. This location is an older style KinderCare with only true rooms for the youngest kids and the open/half-wall style "rooms" for the older kids. We ended up at this KC out of shear need due to unresolved issues at another "high-end" daycare. After 7 months here with the original plan for this KC to be a temporary stop, we will be staying put. Both of our children seem happy, well taken care of, and relatively well stimulated during the day. The half-wall rooms have not ended up being an issue for our eldest who has some noise sensitivity issues. Both kids come home with fun activities. Our eldest has learned so much from the Pre-K teachers and they have really embraced him and who he is. This location has gone through some director/assistant director turnover. We joined while there was an interim director and the transition to the new full-time director was smooth. They are still looking for the right fit for the AD it appears. Teacher turnover seems to be relatively low to average. Both of my kids have at least one stable teacher and it seems like it is more teachers shuffling around within this location to find the right teaching pair/room fit more than leaving the location. Communication about these teacher shuffles sometimes is less than adequate, but with at least one consistent face I don't find it to be huge issue to me. One thing this location needs to work on is incident reports. My eldest will tell me "mom there should be an incident report in my folder. I had a bad fall on the playground." and there is nothing in his pick up folder. I think that is more a teacher issue than the location as a whole as my toddler seems to have adequate incident reports for obvious scratches, bumps, etc given to us at pick up. Overall, we are very please with this location. Like all daycares there are pros and cons, but it has worked out so well at this point there is nothing pointing us in the direction that we need to leave. I also appreciate the lack of general intensity at the facility. Coming from a "high-end" daycare with non-age appropriate high expectations of 3-5 year olds both academically and emotionally, it has been a breath of fresh air to not feel on edge all the time. The teachers have loved on my kids and met them where they are and embraced them. We discuss large issues like hitting, etc but other things like not sitting still, etc are dealt without much parent interaction. If they had to ask us for advice it is less about our son's behavior and more about how the teacher can adjust to help him.

  The teachers at this center are great. My son is 18 months old and happily runs in to school every day. They keep me updated through the app and always respond quickly to questions.

  They Don't Watch Your Children Carefully, My Daughter Was Left Alone Outside Where She Fell And Busted Her Eye.

  We've been attending this Kindercare for 3 years- now going on 4 and have nothing but great things to say! We absolutely love the staff- our kids have developed great bonds with them. They take the time to really get to know our kids and what makes them tick. They are always willing to work with us- either with schedules or the ups and downs of our kids' development. The staff is well lead by a great director and co-director that have very high standards. We just had a third baby and was a little apprehensive about going into the baby room as this will be our first time sending a newborn to Kindercare (we did at home daycare with our first 2 until they were 1 and 3) but they've been wonderful answering all of my questions and putting me at ease! To those who are on the fence my suggestion is to get to know the staff- this is the best way to feel connected and to really know how your kids are doing adjusting. My kids have learned SO much while here. My son was totally prepared for kindergarten and my daughter well acclimated to playing with other kids and learning from teachers. We looked at many facilities and stuck with this one for the staff, amazing curriculum, and happiness of my kids- seriously- they love it here. Wouldn't choose anywhere else!
