  I would not recommend this school ESPECIALLY if you have a child with special needs of any kind- I’m not sure if it’s just the location or the chain in general. I thought a long time about writing this review because there were a few good things but now that my son is in a new school environment where he is supported and loved I see the difference. My son has special needs, and I was recommended by the regional center to look into Kindercare as they would possibly allow his therapist to come in the classroom and they were supportive of neurodivergent kiddos. This could not be further and I’ve already filed a formal complaint with the regional center for their suggestion. I was told that my son was a problem I was told teacher wanted to quit because of him. I was every day made to feel like we were a burden even though we were spending $300 a week at that school. I’ve Seen the way they run their classrooms and their discipline style is very authoritarian I even saw one teacher grab a student by the face to tell them “we don’t do that in my classroom” and this was a two year old child. The Director is extremely passive aggressive. She plays as nice, but in reality all she seems to care about is keeping her classroom filled, but not the quality. I’ve been suggested by special needs advocates that I should sue them for their treatment of me and my son because it created extreme emotional stress however, I think this review is enough and hopefully it will save another parent and child from the heartache that we went through going to that school. My son has less aggressive issues. He’s not having outburst in the classroom at his new school like he was. Environment was just really terrible for the kids. At times there were 24 kids and one teacher which is against state regulations they would claim short staffing, but if parents are paying so much, why don’t they have more teachers none of it made sense to me in retrospect. They don’t care about the kids. All they care about is their income. I suppose that might be expected with a chain. My point is there are way better options especially for this price. The only good thing about this place was his teacher because she really loved him but the way the school was run was just absolutely terrible in my opinion and especially now that we are experiencing a much better environment. Save yourself the headache and don’t send your kid here.

  Sending my child to San Dimas-Foothill KinderCare was absolutely the best decision. The education received prepared her for kindergarten better than I could have imagined! The staff is AMAZING and I feel safe leaving my child in their care. One thing that I appreciate, that I can't express enough, is how each staff member acknowledges me once I walk through the door; they may not remember my name, but they know who's mom I am and make me feel welcome.

  We have 2 boys enrolled at San Dimas KC, and we could not be more pleased with the love, attention, and education they receive every single day. The leadership and teachers at this location are absolutely great at all levels, and I am amazed that they can be so enthusiastic day in and day out.
