  I’ve been with Kinder Care for 19 years , all of my children have gone here, going down the ages starting with oldest being 19, 15,14,12,9,4,and the youngest 3 years old now. We have nothing but loving and fond memories. I highly recommend this child care center to anyone looking for a safe learning environment for their little ones. It’s be phenomenal experience working with Ms. Kisha from her being the teacher to assistant director to now being the director. It’s been nothing less than a pleasure working with her and all of my children love her.

  None of the staff is aware of what is going on with your child. Someone was either not there that day or on "lunch". I ordered my kids pictures with the rest of his class and never received them, the administrator was unsure of what was going, seems like no one is really sure of what is going on at kindercare. Always a high teacher-staff turnaround, the classroom is crowded and in one area, I don't see how my son was even able to nap properly with the larger kids constantly making noises right beside his area. I tried to keep my son in this school because it was near work and home, but when a 3 year old tells you he does not like his school, believe him.

  My daughter attended this Kindercare location for about 2 years. Over that time I'd say numerous chances were given for improvement in their care, safety and education. There's a high turnover rate in teachers. Teacher termination is not consistently communicated with the parents. The "two's room" has been without a lead teacher for the lighter side of 6 months. I've picked my daughter up with her pull up soaked out of her shorts. She suffered three head injuries (total) at this center and NONE of them were communicated to me until after the fact. She bumped her head on the tile floor during nap (12pm) and instead of any one checking to make sure there was no injury, they made her go to SLEEP. She woke up two hours later with a goose egg on her forehead. I wasn notified until pick up at 5:30pm. The last head injury, there was a gash in her forehead. NO ONE could tell me what happened and I was accused as the parent for "bringing her in that way" by one of the teachers and the director (who wasn't there at drop off). When addressed, the director was rude and stressed that she'd "never lost a child for safety reasons." As you could imagine, that conversation didn't go so well. After that, teachers stopped speaking to me. I opted to remove my daughter from the center and contacted the Regional manager and corporate. i give this center two stars ONLY because my daughter learned her ABCs and how to count to 10 in Spanish. That's the only credit I give to them. If you're looking for professionalism, communication, support, improvement and consistency, from a parental standpoint, you may want to try somewhere else. You can't do trial and error on people's children.

  We had our daughter at a different "preschool" in the area, and we had doubts that soon became worries. When I got a job in Durham and found out about Kindercare through a friend, I was quick to make the change and try it out. Kindercare was only slightly more to pay but the quality of care was MUCH higher. I can tell that the children get much more attention from the teachers and staff. My daughter has barely been sick at all in the 5 months she has been at Kindercare - she was rarely not sick while attending the previous school. This isn't coincidence. The children are encouraged to respect each other, and the staff are kind but firm with rules. They teach, but very high-achieving children might not get much of a push here. I feel that they do help my daughter to retain what I have taught her on my own. I doubt you could find a better preschool for the price, especially in this area.
