  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The team at KinderCare in Draper is so lovely and kind—they love my son so big! As a working mom, their app gives me total peace of mind: they post photos regularly and keep me updated on his day and activities, so I always know he’s happy and thriving. Their warm communication and genuine care make drop-offs easy. I’m so grateful we found them and highly recommend!

  Keep your kids safe and healthy. Keep them at another center!! There is no illness management. If parents do not keep their children home with a fever or infection which many don't here, the director does not make them go home, resulting in illness spreading. in addition, when employees get sick the director REGULARLY has them making the food for the children (lunch and snack) just last week, snack was late because and employee was physically ill in the bathroom (vomiting) while she was supposed to be making the food, she still made it... Also, Pink eye is contagious for as long as there are symptoms even with treatment (5-14 days!!!) and after contracting pink eye FROM the facility, the director Joni tried to force an employee to come in to work so that she could have the day off. I would not want my child to be taught by someone with active pink eye, I'd rather the director fullfil their duties and cover their class so they can return without an active infection. Apart from these specific cases this past WEEK, multiple times a month there are outbreaks of illness, FAR more than a normal school /daycare due to the lack of management. Joni the director needs to give the teachers BACK the thermometers so they can make sure their kids do not have fevers, and stop parents from bringing kids back to school who were vomiting and had diarrhea the day prior! Common practice for a daycares basic operation!! Thank you Also can confirm the other mother's previous review - this company MASSIVELY underpays it's employees for how it treats them and how dedicated they are to these kiddos, and how much they charge parents. If the management got it together they'd have a great team but turn over is high here because no one can afford to stay at that pay without additional finincial support. They were not investing that money into new toys for the kids with the previous director, and it's still not going to employees, so not sure why it's so expensive for parents!

  Kindercare Draper is a wonderful center! Our son has been attending since he was nine months old and is now three years old. The center feels safe and secure. You use an individual passcode for the front door to enter and then another code to enter the back area. There is a doorbell to use if someone does not have a code to alert a staff member to come up front. The staff is kind and nurturing and has always gone above and beyond for our son. Sara Buckley, the current acting director at this center, is organized, friendly, and professional. The center has an app that provides daily updates about your child (intake at mealtimes, diaper changes, using the restroom, pictures/videos that include messages on what skills the child is working on, messages to the director and/or teachers, etc.). Well balanced breakfast, lunch and snack are also provided. Our son started out in the infant room with Ms. Natalia and Ms. Rian. They were both nurturing, communicated well, and educated on appropriate activities to work towards achieving developmental milestones. Our son’s current teachers, Ms. Jorene and Ms. Sukanya, are fantastic! They focus on all areas of development (communication, social and emotional skills, pre academic learning, fine and gross motor skills). They are kind and loving towards our son. When we drop him off, he is always excited to see Ms. Jorene, Ms. Sukanya, and all his friends. If you are looking for a childcare center and/or a preschool in the area, I highly recommend Kindercare!

  My daughter has been going to KinderCare in Draper for a year now. I have always felt that the teachers and directors truly care about her. In June there was a change in directors. It's always scary when there is a change in management, but I have been thrilled with the change. I was never unhappy before, but since Karen and Alysha have taken over as director and assistant director I have noticed improvements in the center. The staff always greets my daughter with a big smile at drop off and a sweet goodbye at pick up. KinderCare has an app that they use to provide updates about my daughter's day. Most days I get a picture or a video of my daughter enjoying her time there and participating in fun activities. They also really helped with potty training which was wonderful! Thanks, KinderCare in Draper!

  Teachers never stay and the kids are not always supervised properly. I wouldn't put my child in this school. I pulled my son out after he had several accidents that resulted in a doctors appointment.
