Absolutely filthy. I have toured 6 major daycares in Columbia and this one was the dirtiest, decades of dirt grime (not normal day to day dirt). Stinks of feces and urine. Also, it’s the same tuition as actually nice preschools and private schools (I did a price comparison).
Thanks, but no thanks 🤢

My son started in January. Like any toddler they have good and bad days. They’re good about reporting about their days and my son found a best friend! His teacher is a delight and the director and assistant director are good with communication and very understanding when navigating anything KinderCare related! Way to go to all the providers at this school! 🥰

I enrolled Emery at 4 months old and have had the BEST childcare experience ever. I am a first time mom and was incredibly nervous to put my daughter in daycare because of horrific stories. However, upon my initial visit the staff and especially the site director, Mindy, were incredibly kind and welcoming. The rates for infant care were competitive and the infant teacher Ms. Melinda was incredible. Emery was exclusively breastfed and would not accept a bottle. Ms. Melinda was patient and caring and took the time to help Emery learn bottle feeding. Ms. Melinda’s daughter Ms. Molly (who is now at the Kansas center) was so attentive to details and always extra caring with Emery. Ms. Jackie was a new addition to the infant class but fit right in and I always felt comfortable leaving my baby in their care. Emery’s toddler teachers are unmatched! They truly work as a team and shuffle between classes to ensure the best quality of care. They are so kind and always collect her hair bows at the end of the day. Toddler teachers foster kindness and friendship among the young pupils and I know Emery has learned a great deal from socialization and learning life skills, like eating with a spoon and congratulating her peers with a fist bump. I am so sad that Emery will have to leave because not only is she cared for but loved at KinderCare. I wish I could take them all with us to our next destination.

My daughter has been going here for about a year now and we love it! The teachers are so awesome and they are willing to work with your child no matter what the circumstance. Truly an outstanding childcare facility 10/10 would recommend! If you have questions contact Mindy, she is super nice and is always willing to help when my family has questions! This facility is very clean and well organized as well.
