  Lots of staff turnover, terrible hours, the director is very reactionary and engages in retaliatory behavior. The curriculum is great, this particular location is horrible unfortunately.

  I didn't have the best experience my grandson is black I do think they treated him very poorly, alot of discrimination and unnecessary discipline. The daycare is over all beautiful but for the employees they definitely need to reestablish race at the daycare and all kids get treated the same. 2 weeks in my daughter knew this wasn’t fit for my son especially because they were always misincluding him like he didn't have cubby or pictures up, just felt like it was due to race and my income background. Again the daycare is beautiful but how you treat certain kids isn't.

  Quick Read: This center is in a very bad place right now, if you have any other child care options, I would pursue them. Long Read: We started in the infant room and had a magical experience with the teachers there. My son was loved and nurtured and I can not say enough good things about that experience. Once he went into the toddler room, it was very different. There was much less structure and they were not very good at communicating what they were doing during the day. However, the teachers were nice, and our son was with his friends, so we stayed. Then the management issues started. Teachers started leaving in droves and this Kindercare location started cutting their hours. For example, they randomly closed for a whole week and then decided to only open three rotating days a week. It became a scheduling hell trying to find back-up care for different days every week and we were told that this would be for the foreseeable future. All the parents scrambled to find other centers that would take their children, we had to hire a flexible nanny, and none of the teachers that we started with are left. It was a shame to watch this center crumble so quickly. We are now at the Bright Horizons and it is shocking how organized and well-run they are by comparison. The teachers are also so engaged and happy. I feel guilty for keeping my son at such a toxic daycare for so long. If I had realized how little we were getting for our money, I would have left 6 months ago. When I spoke to the District Leader at KinderCare she focused on defending her hiring decisions and blaming the teachers instead of the fact that they couldn't stay open 5 days a week during regular business hours. There are obviously some major issues with the KinderCare leadership and structure. I hope this helps other families make an informed decision and hopefully saves them from the stress, uncertainty, and unnecessary internal strife that we have put up with this year.
