  We transferred to Hockessin KinderCare in August of 2025 after experiencing some challenges at our previous daycare facility that we felt were poorly addressed by leadership. From my first time there for my tour and since, I have seen just how much site leadership and staff cares about the children in their care. My daughter can be slow to warm up in unfamiliar situations and was given the space and support she needed during her early days at the center. She has since been promoted to the preschool room and our experience has been stellar. She is making strides in her academic learning and we have seen her come out of her shell with her peers and teachers. Leadership is responsive and proactive with any questions, concerns, or feedback and we see our daughter’s teachers as partners in her care. To provide a clear example, our daughter recently started wearing glasses (a need that was identified by a cost-free Lions Club screening done at daycare!). I communicated the support we needed to ensure her compliance wearing them at all times AND her nerves about wearing them to school/being the only kid in class with her teachers and the site director. I promptly received a message thanking me for letting them know and assuring me that they would help her build great habits on site and that they would hype her up when they saw her wearing them for the first time. I received multiple messages from her teachers keeping me updated on how her first few days wearing the glasses were going and my daughter was so excited to tell me that she “matches” her teachers because they also wear glasses. I could not be more grateful to Heather, Kim, and the whole Hockessin Kindercare team for creating a safe, inclusive space for the most important person in my life. I know and trust that I can carry on my workday without worrying about whether my daughter is being treated well and being taught new skills.

  Switching from a school I did not feel comfortable leaving my child to this new school, kindercare, was the best decision I made. I noticed a huge behavior difference as well seeing my kids learning new things everyday. My favorite thing is seeing all the outside activities they do especially in the summer! “Forest Friday”‘by the creek. My boys love their teachers and are always excited to go to school in the morning. Management also does a great job when it comes to cleaning and keeping illnesses away as much as they can. Thank you kindercare for putting my nerves at ease. ❤️

  Our family loves Hockessin Kindercare! Every teacher my girls have had has been really attentive, smart, caring and very special... especially Ms. Bela! She is superhuman! She can be everywhere, do anything, and always has each child's needs in mind. Ms. Denise, Ms. Heather, and Ms. Kim always make sure the building is well-run and have individual relationships with each child, as well. We've been really well-cared for here and they have been a GREAT partner in raising our kids!

  Denise and the whole staff at KC genuinely care about your children's' well being. They will also bend over backwards to ensure your accounts are accurate and in order. There have been numerous occasions when I had questions that were promptly and accurately answered/resolved. Miss Kimberly and Miss Kaylin have been awesome caregivers to my kids. They helped with teaching my kids to read and even homework during aftercare. If they were my employees, I would give them immediate salary increases!
