As of this July 2025, I have been very happy with Kindercare. My oldest daughter started when she was 1 year old in January of 2024, I was pleased with the staff and the director at the time (Director Ebone and teacher Ms. Kristen). When the director left and a new one stepped in around March that year, things did not go well and I considered leaving when I went on maternity leave in May 2024. However, the regional directors stepped in and turned things around. After being on leave, I started my youngest daughter in September of 2024. While there has been two directors since then... (Ms. Bri and now Ms. Mickela) it is a night and day difference with how the center is run. I can tell my kids are learning things because they share about it at home. There are some veteran staff who are excellent and do amazing with students. And other newer staff that truely love my girls and let me know how they did. One area to improve upon would be the transitions when new staff are hired. There is a big learning curve for them and it is noticeable that when there is a newer staff that the room is messy. Having said that, as a teacher myself, I understand that there are challenges when trying to work with new staff and making sure they have necessary training. Overall, my children are happy, love the staff, and are excited to tell me what they learn. I love when I get pictures of how they are doing on the app. Shout out to Ms. CeCe, Ms. Choua, Ms. Tachena, Ms. Mickela, and Ms. Bre!

All my littles have attended Rice KinderCare up until going into elementary school and I wouldn’t of had it any other way. My children all loved attending here and the teachers are amazing! They really go out of their way to ensure our children are properly cared for in the ways they need to be. They are always updating you on daily activities and what the children are learning. I would recommend them over anyone! Thanks for being our other family!

We absolutely love Rice KinderCare! The staff is incredible and I am able to drop off my toddler knowing she will be well cared for, nurtured, and challenged to grow developmentally. We initially selected this center because they were willing to accommodate dietary needs and they supported my desired use of cloth diapers (I supplied the cloths, covers and closures but they, unlike many other centers, were willing to learn how to use them). We continue to select this center because I see how much my 2 yo has thrived in their care. We look forward to being part of the Rice KinderCare community for years to come!
