  My child recently suffered a serious injury at Kindercare that required stitches to her forehead. While accidents can happen in any childcare setting, what concerns me is that this incident appears to be part of a larger pattern of safety issues rather than an isolated event. According to the information provided to me, my child was injured during an activity involving bubbles. What I was told by the supervisor, vs what was written on the incident report were egregiously different. The circumstances surrounding the incident raise serious questions about supervision and whether the environment was being properly monitored at the time. No parent expects every scrape or bump to be prevented, but we do expect children to be supervised closely enough to avoid preventable injuries that result in emergency medical treatment. Unfortunately, this was not our first safety concern. My child has been involved in multiple incidents requiring incident reports, including being bitten by a child who had reportedly bitten multiple other children. While I understand that challenging behaviors can occur in group childcare settings, repeated incidents involving the same child suggest that adequate intervention and supervision measures may not have been in place. Even more concerning is that, after speaking with other parents, I learned that my child's injury was reportedly the third incident involving significant bleeding within a matter of weeks. This raises concerns about whether there are broader supervision, staffing, or safety issues affecting the center. I also expressed my concerns to an individual responsible for oversight and compliance. Rather than addressing the seriousness of the situation, I was told that "things happen" and that "heads tend to bleed a lot." While this may be factually true, it completely misses the point. Parents are not concerned about how much a head wound bleeds; we are concerned about why these injuries are occurring and whether reasonable steps are being taken to prevent them. I am particularly concerned about staffing levels and supervision. There have been numerous occasions where parents have observed classrooms appearing understaffed or stretched thin. Even when staffing ratios may technically be met, the level of active supervision does not always appear sufficient. In my child's case, it appears that the adults responsible for supervision were distracted or otherwise unable to prevent an injury serious enough to require stitches. The purpose of this review is not simply to complain about one unfortunate accident. It is to raise concerns about what appears to be a pattern of preventable incidents, inadequate supervision, repeated injuries, and a culture that minimizes legitimate parent concerns instead of addressing them. Parents trust childcare providers with their children's safety every day. That trust is earned through accountability, transparency, and a demonstrated commitment to preventing avoidable harm. Based on our experience, I do not currently feel confident that those standards are being met. I hope Kindercare leadership will thoroughly review the circumstances surrounding these incidents, evaluate staffing and supervision practices, and take meaningful steps to ensure that no other child experiences what ours did.

  We’ve had a really positive experience with KinderCare. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly attentive to each child’s needs. My daughter feels safe, happy, and excited to go every day, which means everything to us as parents. It’s been a great place for my daughter to learn, grow, and build confidence. I’m very grateful for all the support and kindness they show every day!

  I am writing to share my sincere appreciation for one of your outstanding team members, Tisha. She is truly one of the most positive, informative, and caring individuals I have encountered at this location, and she consistently stands out for her dedication and warmth. Each time I enter the classroom, Tisha greets me with an exceptionally warm and genuine welcome—one that any parent or grandparent could only hope for. Her kindness immediately puts families at ease and reflects her deep commitment to both the children and those who love them. When interacting with the children, Tisha treats each one as if they were her own. She takes the time to communicate thoughtfully about their day, sharing important details such as meals, emotions, any incidents, or simply whether they had an enjoyable experience. This level of attentiveness and communication provides great comfort and reassurance. Tisha is someone I feel completely confident entrusting with my most prized possessions—my grandchildren. She creates a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and free to be themselves. She strikes a beautiful balance between attentiveness and allowing each child the space to express their own personality. Tisha is truly deserving of recognition and praise for the exceptional care she provides to the children at KinderCare. I strongly recommend that she be considered for an award or formal recognition to acknowledge her hard work, compassion, and dedication to the children and families she serves. Thank you for taking the time to consider this message and for fostering a team that includes such remarkable individuals. Sincerely, Joyce J. BondXO

  Nothing but great experiences with KinderCare and the care of my daughters. As my daughter prepares to go to kindergarten, I believe she is more than prepared.
