  We have our son at KinderCare for almost 2 years, since he was 5 months old, and I can’t recommend it enough! The staff and teachers are kind and loving. They’ve eased our son into each classroom change as he grew older and always taken the time to build trust with him. The classrooms are clean, the food is healthy and fresh, and the kids are happy. Its 3 star score on Google is totally undeserved. This may not be the childcare set-up that suits you or your child, but if it’s the right fit, you’ll love it.

  I get it. There are very few daycares in Long Beach with hours for working parents. But if at all possible, don’t send your little ones to Kindercare Belmont Shore, especially the toddler program. I sent my 1.5/2 year old to Kindercare for 6 months before I pulled her out. Ever since she moved in the twos room, I was dismayed by the constant teacher turnover. One teacher, who I complained about because she spoke to the kids inappropriately, got fired for physically abusing a toddler. The teachers in the toddler room didn’t seem to care about the kids at all. They were always on their iPads during pick ups and drop offs. They could never tell me about my daughter’s day. They seemed to have no training in child development. When I asked the head of school, Jennifer, what the hiring requirements were, she said it was the minimum 12 units in child development. That’s it. When I would pick up my Daughter , she was just sitting at a table waiting for me. No playing, no music, no fun. Also, if you do a tour, play attention to the decoration in the toddler rooms. There is none. The rooms are bare. They told us it was because it was a new room. Six months later, almost no toys, no art, no books. It felt like I dropped off my daughter to baby prison. No yard time. They only allowed the toddlers 40 minutes of outdoor time in the morning and 40 minutes in the afternoon. I removed my daughter from the school when I picked her up at 5:15pm and she was in a poopy diaper. The poop was crusty on her bottom, indicating it had been there for hours. I checked their log and the last potty was at 11am. My daughter wasn’t even supposed to be in a diaper. She is potty trained. I believe her teachers put her in a diaper so they wouldn’t have to take her to the potty. I filed a complaint with DPSS and they sustained it against KinderCare because the evidence was so clearcut. I wish I had never sent my baby there and I hope you don’t make the same mistake. I gave KinderCare two stars because the preschool program is adequate. It is not a good program. I don’t recommend it. But my 4 year old enjoyed it and at least the hours are good. But if you have any other option, don’t send your kids to Kindercare
