  Our daughter attended KinderCare AOA from 5 months through 18 months (just over a year) and I *sobbed* for about an hour 2 days before we ended our time there when I realized her teachers weren't coming with us as we move away. 😭 Her teachers in Infant 1 -- Ms Keisha and Ms Dajia -- are SO kind and patient (and not just with the kids but with us parents too), but also so silly and creative, and they have really helped our daughter grow into the sassy little intelligent healthy weirdo that she is today. They're just absolutely amazing teachers and women in general and the absolute best hands that first timers like us could have left our daughter in the care of. All the other teachers we've interacted with are equally as kind and even teachers from other grades seemed to know our daughter, so that's fun. It felt like a family. For the center, we loved that diapers and wipes and meals were all included as that really alleviated some mental energy for us each day/week. (Just BYO prepped bottles of BM or formula in the infant stage.) I also loved that after age 1 the kiddos could go hang out in the indoor gym to get energy out, as well as going for walks/stroller rides outside. There is also ample on-site stroller parking though one of the stroller parking lots indoors may one day become a classroom. We loved receiving updates throughout the day in their app with pictures, meal info, nap info, and diaper changes -- it helped us feel in the loop and like we weren't "missing" so much while we had to work. Safety bonus: fire department is right down the block! (Though I don't think that's ever become necessary.) A lot of employers offer a 10% discount on tuition -- check with your hr department or if you have something like workingadvantage it'll be on there. (Tuition seemed average for similar places in Philly that provide as much as KC AOA does.) The leadership team -- Ms Shaneka, Ms Jackie, and Mr Nick -- is kind and reassuring and always open to feedback and new parent paranoia questions, which we always had a lot of. :) They send monthly newsletters and calendars out to keep parents in the know, and there's a new parent ambassador group forming which is cool -- you have a parent resource group and can use that to meet other parents and plan play dates. Great if you don't know a lot of people with kids yet! I always felt weird posting a review while we were still there because the Internet is a weird place when it comes to kids, but our last day was yesterday and the teachers sent us home with artwork from the class to our daughter like "we'll miss you" and I'm not crying you're crying. 😭 So I just had to come on and share. We will miss you, too! You all have meant so much to us as our daughter's first caregivers.

  We are happy and grateful to have Miss Gaby and Miss Farah as our son’s (age 15 months) teachers at daycare. They and their colleagues and supporting staff have provided a safe and fun environment for our son to grow and learn. He enjoys being there and playing with his friends. We are so happy to be part of this community!

  We love the care that our kids have received at KinderCare AOA! Our oldest daughter has been at the school for almost three years, and our younger daughter for nearly a year, and it feels like every single adult in the school showers them with love and support, even those who aren't their classroom teachers. In particular, though, we want to shout out Ms. Ade, Ms. Haja, and Ms. Liza in Toddler 2 as an engaging and thoughtful team who communicate so effectively with us, and Ms. Recee and Ms. Ty (and also Ms. Lynda, even though she's working across several classrooms now!) in Multi-Age, who help our older daughter learn so much and always make her feel loved. Thanks so much to everyone on this staff; highly recommend KinderCare AOA!

  We’ve been at Kindercare AoA since the infant room, and we couldn’t be happier. Our son is currently in DPS1with Ms Hamida, Ms Carmen and Ms Shahin, and they’re the best. They have taught him so much, and he comes home seemingly every day having learned something new. And on top of that, they are all so kind and loving, it feels good knowing that he’s with such great people all day.

  Our son is currently in infant 3 and we have been so happy with Kindercare AOA. Ms Nassiah, Ms T, Ms Bria and the rest of the infant team have truly enriched our son’s life. We feel their love and care for him, and we see amazing development in him and feel so lucky that he’s so well taken care of during the day. Also as a breastfeeding mom, they listened to our schedule needs which helped immensely in terms of maintaining supply and direct feeding when he wasn’t in their care. KinderCare’s app makes it so easy to communicate with the team during the day and we love to see all that he is up to. We seriously are so happy with kindercare and would recommend to anyone! - Becca+Andy
