  I just want to take some time and say thank you so much to Ms Josie, Ms Alexis and Ms Mayeli and to all the teachers who care so much for my son who is 4 and is in Pre K he’s had the most caring teachers ever. I feel comfort knowing my child wakes up every morning ready to start his day. The communication that management has with me about my son has been nothing but good experiences always on top of it and that’s what I like. Big shout out to Ms Josie tho who’s running the center 👏🏼

  ****Understaffed and unprofessional**** Not big on leaving reviews, but this one is needed. The Kinder Care manager, Josie told us when we first decided to take our daughter there, but it was OK that I can pay monthly because I own my own business And we pay everything monthly. She said that was fine. Took our deposit a week later asked where it was our payment I had written this down on the side of the agreement we signed, and I showed it to her and said yeah ok that’s right. This went on for weeks her calling me out in front of other parents. Six months went by and I did not miss a monthly payment of over $1000 for my daughter to attend during this time. There’s a lot of gossip going around. About my daughter might not being able to attend because we “haven’t paid”. The teachers were telling me about josie. Josie was telling them about it and to bring it up to me, but we had an agreement and that was the reason we picked kinder care and she agreed to it. I paid every bit of it up until we left. Josie also forgets that I live in this community. We also have other friends that take kids there she was talking about this openly and other people are hearing it and it got back to me. That’s why I decided to leave Kinder Care because of the gossip . My daughter is now attending school. Over a year later and we received a final bill From Josie stating that we didn’t pay the last month. The same One month they said my daughter wasn’t paid for She was already completing her second month at school. ****Understaffed and unprofessional**** On average one teacher to about 30 kids. Some of the staff tries really hard and I am very grateful for their patience with all the kids. But I do know some of the teachers left because of internal conflicts With upper management and not Filling the basic requirements needed for the teachers.

  My spouse and I were nervous to put our toddler into day care, but our experience at KC Estrella has been absolutely phenomenal. I recommend this place to all families I know are looking for child care. After warming up to the other kids and the teachers, our child now truly looks forward to school. It feels like they are with friends / family. And the parent app for our phone keeps us updated on all the details we want. Getting photos from the teachers of our little one playing with kids, doing yoga, learning colors... it really brightens the work day. I highly encourage anyone considering KC Estrella as a solution to child care to take a brief tour and meet the team. Most have been with the location for a few years (and some closer to 7-10 years!), which is reassuring. I love this place and I'm so happy my baby does too.

  I am completely shocked and heartbroken by what’s happening at Estrella. My child has been bitten multiple times, and I learned another child was seriously injured and needed staples. Parents are not always informed about these incidents, and even teachers have been hurt while trying to supervise. The director, Josie, is rarely present because she splits her time with Ocotillo, leaving the campus unsafe and poorly managed. I would never feel comfortable leaving my child here.
