  We have had a wonderful experience at Kindercare with our young son. Within the first week of attending the daycare we knew it was a perfect fit. The staff becomes like family; they nurture and support your child like their own. Our son has achieved and at at times surpassed milestones and we attribute much of that to the curriculum and excellent teaching staff. We would highly recommend this center to any parent looking for a supportive and safe environment for their child. David & Jessica Sebastian

  My family has had at least 1 kid at Kindercare for the last 8 years. They have become almost like family to us. They have provided great childcare and education for my kids while my wife and I worked. Our oldest really enjoyed some of the extra things they did like cooking classes and field trips over the summer!

  Update: When I originally reviewed, my 4 year old's Pre K class was adjusting to teacher #7. This teacher quit not too long after and we decided to look for a new center for our children. Teacher #8 was just recently hired. I have two children enrolled at this center. My youngest has been there since he was three months old and is now in the toddler program. My oldest started in the preschool program. The experience my youngest son has had, starting in the infant room, has been a decent experience. The infant room teachers are attentive and genuinely seemed to care about my child. He seems very happy in the toddler room. The experience I have had with my oldest son has been disappointing. Since starting in the preschool class at the beginning of the school year in 2017 to present, in the Pre-K classroom, his class has gone through 6 teachers and that doesn't include the other turn over of "floating" staff. Communication has been hit or miss from teachers and the center regarding behavior, lessons, how my child is performing with his lessons and even down to simple things like center closure dates. At times I have felt like I have had to beg to get more information about my child beyond the happy, medium and sad faces on his smiley face chart. Rarely, is there a teacher available to talk to you about your child at pick up. I pick up late and most of the time there is a floating teacher who is unable to tell me about my child's day. I cannot count how many times I have been told "I don't know. I just got in here" when I ask for specifics about his day. I also find the center to be grimy. Chairs are sticky, the baseboards have dirt along them and cupboards have stains running down them. When the Pre-K teacher, who had been with the center for several years left, I found out she wasn't using the KinderCare curriculum at all. I participated in a meeting with the center director and regional director to express concerns over what the children weren't learning and thankfully the current teacher in the classroom was excited to review the curriculum book and has implemented so many amazing lessons for the children. I have spent too much time speaking (in person, over the phone and email) with the regional director about my concerns and dissatisfaction with the center. Everything that KinderCare conveys about the organization does not stand up to the experience I have had with this center. For the amount of money we pay to attend here, I expected so much more. Thankfully, things seem to be improving but I shouldn't have to continually hold the center accountable as much as I have had to. Unfortunately all the other daycare centers around the area have year long waiting lists, so transferring elsewhere is not an option at the time.
