  Our boys absolutely love going to the Columbia Gateway KinderCare! We have only had great experiences with the staff and teachers over the past 2 years. Our boys have learned so much through the curriculum, care, love, and attention that is given to them from their teachers.

  We have had two children enrolled at Columbia KinderCare and have had a great experience. The center directors April and Shanell have been so welcoming and made this transition very easy for our family. We appreciate everything they do and the extra mile they go for all the children at the center.

  Our daughter has been enrolled at KinderCare Columbia since January 2014. In 2013 when we were selecting a daycare for her, we specifically chose KinderCare as it was an established center where we felt the structure and curriculum best suited our and her needs. KinderCare has been amazing for our family and our daughter. Center leadership are appropriately communicative to parents, have fully explained the structure of the Center, and has provided clear and concise information about how our daughter is progressing. There is never a question or concern that goes unanswered, staff are quick to respond to our needs, our daughter is thriving in the Center environment, teachers are incredibly supportive of our families needs. We truly have no complaints about our experience and genuinely feel that we have chosen the absolute best place for our daughter to be.

  My eldest son has been going to this daycare since 2013. He started out in the Infant room with Ms. Shirley and Ms. Artileigh. I have never met more caring individuals or more loving towards my son. When my son was having a tough time with me leaving, they were always there to scoop him and up and give him a cuddle. My husband and I had no trouble leaving our second son with Ms. Shirley or Ms. Artileigh when it came time. We did have some trouble when my eldest son turned 2, he began to act out and his teachers at the time were having difficulty trying to calm him down and keep him focused. Many teachers dubbed him as the bad kid and I was called almost everyday to either come pick him up or to try and calm him down. I would dread seeing the daycare's number come up on my phone, it was always "what did he do today?" My husband and I knew that this was not the right environment for our child and it didn't seem like any of his teachers wanted to work with us to try and help my son, they would send him to the directors office and he was no longer his problem. I would cry most days, just completely overwhelmed and stressed out about trying to help my son. We were on the verge of leaving the Daycare all together. Then Ms. Melissa came.... Ms. Melissa is the answers to our prayers! From day one she has worked with my son to figure out what works with him and what does not. She is patient with him and cares for my son. After a week of her being at the Daycare and in his classroom we stopped getting phone calls asking us to pick him up and we stopped getting incident reports about his bad behavior. He no longer hits his friends and has learned how to play with them. He started participating in craft time and began to actively engage with the class. He no longer has to be removed from the classroom and I never have to worry about leaving my child in the care of Ms. Melissa. When I pick up my son, Ms. Melissa is always so excited to show me what my son has done that day. I am amazed and so proud of my sweet boy in all that he has accomplished with Ms. Melisa and I am so grateful for her. I can not wait for my second child to be in Ms. Melissa's classroom! Columbia Kindercare has just become such an amazing environment for children, and I would recommend the center to anyone!
