  From the very first day, Kindercare has been a radiant beacon of care, education, and nurturing for my son. Under the direction of Ms. Jem, whose warmth and expertise set the tone for the entire center along with Ms. Audrey and all of the incredible staff, it is more than just a daycare—it is a loving extension of our family. The dedication of the teachers here is unparalleled. Ms. Dom and Ms. Maria’s creative activities stimulate the kids' imaginations, fostering a love for learning that spills over into every part of their lives. Their gentle guidance in essential skills has given my son an incredible head-start on his educational journey. Their commitment to each child's happiness and social/emotional development is evident in the personalized attention they provide. The cleanliness, safety measures, and communications with parents are all top-notch, consistently exceeding my expectations. My heart is so full when I see the progression my son has made, and this is all thanks to the brilliant staff behind UC Kindercare. If you want somewhere that loves your kid as much as you do, that's exactly what you'll find here. Five stars, without a doubt!

  This KinderCare center has been part of our family for almost six years now. We started our first daughter here when she was 3 months old. Four years later, our second daughter started around the same age. We were unsure of putting our kids in daycare at first, but after just a couple weeks we knew we'd found something amazing. All the teachers here are well-educated and fully trained to take care of children and encourage development and learning. I can honestly say that my children, now 2 and almost 6, are as well-developed as they are because of the expertise of the people at this center. When Covid hit and everything shut down, we were luckily able to keep our spots here as I had to keep going to work. I honestly couldn't find a safer place for our girls besides keeping them at home. All the safety protocols that were implemented are incredibly reassuring, and with the app and ability to call in whenever, I can tell they're actually being followed. They've been working closely with the CDC and state/county health officials to make sure they're doing everything possible. They stay late every day to fully clean the center once all the kids are gone. Our oldest was supposed to start kindergarten this year. With distance learning planned, KinderCare immediately announced a new school-age program with a dedicated teacher to help the kids get on their Zoom class meetings and do all their assigned work each day. They also add in their own fun activities and projects for when regular school is done. It's been amazing and my daughter has loved every minute of it. All of this is to say that I can't think of a better place or better people to help raise our girls. I have colleagues that go to cheaper daycares, but then they complain about how their child isn't being encouraged to learn or they're not open long enough hours. If you're concerned about throwing your kids into a large center like this, please don't be. I can affirm after all these years that these teachers genuinely love and care about all the kids here. They cry when kids grow up and move on, get so excited when they hear they'll gain another little one soon, and worry when they hear something is wrong. Any concerns about growth/development/behavior or even just someone having a bad day, they're always available to listen and help out. As parents, a lot is expected of us. They used to say "It takes a village," but now I feel like everyone has the pressure on themselves. Reading mommy blogs and looking things up online will only get you so far. I'm so glad we found UC KinderCare to be our village!

  Our son has been at this Kindercare for the past year and we have had a great experience there. He is excited to go each day and see his friends and teachers - we are impressed with the range of activities they do with the infants. Unlike a lot of places, this center is open until 6:30 pm, which is fantastic if your workday doesn't end in the early afternoon!

  Kindercare has been awesome for us! The people who work there are so nice and always have good feedback for us from our daughter’s day there. They were also able to get us into care on short notice which was much appreciated. We are leaving since we are moving ourt of town but we are going to miss them!
