  We have had a great experience transitioning our 12 month old to Melrose KC. She is happy, and the teachers and staff genuinely cared about making us feel comfortable and a part of the KC community <3

  Do your research and pay attention, I wish I would have noticed the warning signs. I chalked it all up to just being a toddler---but it wasn't. My little one was pushed into an inappropriate age group to help boast their corporate push to overfill. I noticed disengagement and spent way too long trying to figure out if it was them or us. Immediately after we made the choice to leave and our child was with toddlers again and was once again happy to go to school, screaming at drop off stopped, they began talking and engaging again. Most of the teachers are trying to do their part--leadership needs to take accountability for their practices that do not have the child's development as the priority.

  We have had two kids who have been through Kindercare in Melrose and we couldn't be happier. The teachers feel like family and it is so friendly and personal. Our kids love going and we're sad our oldest is aging out soon!

  PROS: The teachers are nice. The building, class materials and facilities are wonderful for the kids. The building is kept clean. It is in general an organized and safe place for kids. They have very interesting curriculum/topics that they cover with kids like earth, math, numbers that they present in a very creative way. CONS: Teachers are not really attentive to kids. Their attitude is that they use the yard to bring the energy down of the kids but they don't really engage them in activities. I found them leaving the kids on their own and teachers sit down on a bench to let the day just go by and they are just having social teachers reunion there. This is fine to some extend but not when you pick up your kid and find that the diaper hasn't been changed in a while. I also didn't find appropriate that KC has creative ways to make parents pay for extra teachers, or breaks by naming them as workshops. I think that for the price paid that should be covered in the core curriculum. Prices go up every year there and tuition is a bit up the average. Some of the teachers are experienced but others look like trainees.
