  I am sharing my experience to alert other parents to recurring safety and ratio concerns at this facility. During drop-off, I observed a single teacher alone with seven infants. The Washington state ratio is 1:4. During this time, I witnessed one infant being fed a bottle while lying flat on the floor and another infant left to feed themselves unattended in a chair. Both are significant safety and choking hazards Management denied the headcount I observed, claiming only five infants were present and enrolled. However, this is the second time I have encountered ratio issues here. During my child’s first week, the center was reported for having nine infants in one room. At that time, the director stated they were unaware of the current state laws regarding maximum group sizes, which was concerning for a licensed facility. The facility confirmed they do not have security cameras. Given the repeated ratio violations and the lack of transparency regarding staffing, I have filed a report with DCYF and corporate. I do not wish to be contacted by KinderCare regarding this matter.

  I can’t say enough great things about this daycare and the staff. My two children attend here, and the care they receive is truly amazing. My daughter Nayeli is 5 and in the school age classroom with Colleen, and she absolutely loves it. Colleen is such a caring and attentive teacher. My younger child, Soulia, is 19 months and in Christina’s classroom. Christina is incredibly patient, nurturing, and engaging with the kids. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Soulia is in such good hands.

  I am a current parent of the center and bring my two girls- age 4 months and 18 months along with my grandbaby who is also 18 months here. We love the Director, Assistant and Teachers that are actively involve with our babies. They bring a warm and welcoming atmosphere, communicate the needs so they can thrive and have a curriculum that is age appropriate. We also love getting the updates of our babies on the app and the staff take care of them like their own. The saying "It takes a village to raise a child" is true and my husband and I are happy we found ours.

  A few months ago, I made the decision to enroll my children here, and I was honestly very nervous because of my child’s disabilities and a past negative experience at another center. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt a sense of warmth and reassurance. Danielle was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely listened to every concern I had. She was thorough when showing us around, explaining each classroom’s routine and providing visual schedules outside the rooms — which meant so much to me as a parent who values structure and clarity. What truly stands out is how Danielle and Ariel have worked closely together to ensure the teachers are properly trained and fully understand how to support and accommodate my child’s needs. Their compassion, communication, and dedication have given me such peace of mind. I am so grateful for the outstanding staff and the inclusive, caring environment they provide. I highly recommend this KinderCare to any parent looking for a place where their child will be truly seen, supported, and cared for.

  we love it here. my baby(2.5y) has a slight "developmental delay" but has advanced in leaps and bounds after spending time here. they communicate very well about things like; her dietary needs, behavioral concerns Ive expressed, and progress on her development goals that we are working on. her teachers send pictures of my baby throughout the day and she is always having a wonderful time.i have been given so much grace here, the staff goes out of thier way to connect with us and relate to me as a parent and it makes such a positive impact, I learn so much from them. I have every confidence that my baby is safe, supported, and loved while in their care. we are very grateful for everything they do. also, the kitchen always smells so good, I often wish i could stay for breakfast! thank you everyone!
