  This place is only terrible because of Director Karen, who personally abused my special needs son. She didnt want to deal with my child so she put him outside in the cold and rain for at least the minimum of 30 minutes with no proper clothing on. My significant other drove up to find him shivering in a caregivers arms while other kids ran around properly dressed for the weather. Furthermore, lunch was happening and they didn't even offer my son food til he was leaving. This was all over him using what she or whoever was the caregiver at the time was too much toilet paper while potty training him. They instigated him to be upset and im pretty sure put their hands on my child since he apparently but the director but has never done that to me or his dad ever much less a teacher. He is only here at this daycare 1 day a week and it's always an issue. When this incident happen we took both our kids out and call cps. An investigation in current in the process for how they treated my child even after giving them the IEP they requested. My son is 3 going on 4 and is delayed and gets frustrated easily when he can't express what he wants since it's a speech delay. They handled everything horribly. I would not send any child here that they may deem difficult. They will call you and make you pick up your child for doing normal child things. Because you know young kids hit and we have to constantly tell them gentle hands and no hitting. One hit and they gotta go. This daycare will get you fired at your job for always needing to leave and get your child. Because they can't seem to handle them and if your not quick enough to pick up... well they abuse them. The 2 year old room teacher where my youngest was at, was excellent. Too bad the whole center wasn't. Good luck if you choose this place. It's a risk until better management and specialist are hired on to handle special needs kids.

  As a former Kindercare kid (on the east coast in the 80s/90s) and having 2 children who attended both Northgate and Woodinville locations (recently moved and didn't even hestitate to go to the Kindercare in my new city) from 3 months to present (school age now), I can say without a doubt that Kindercare is a great place for childcare, socialization, and educational development. Ms. Karen and Ms. Tara are kind, accessible, and thoughtful Director/Assistant Director. My youngest recently was in the infant classroom and the teachers in that classroom were amazing! So much so that my little one still waves to them on his way in and out each day. My oldest has formed life long friendships with fellow kids, loves going to the center, and is a well rounded child in an Elementary school setting. I know Kindercare was instrumental in her development into elementary school. Give the center a tour today!

  We are fortunate enough to have two children attending, one in preschool and the other in the infant classroom. Our preschooler just turned three and counts past 20, recognizes all his letters, and can name all of his shapes. Multiple times per week my son is asking to go back before we have even gotten home. He talks about all of his friends constantly and he has kids who all yell hi to him when he walks in each morning. He has some support needs and the school has been so accommodating- taking feedback from therapists, being flexible with him, etc. As a mom, it has been amazing to feel like I don't have to worry about him during the day. Our baby has attended for almost five months. They have been a great resource when I have questions, they have followed my lead with when to start table food, we get excellent communication from them. Center wide I appreciate the app where we get updates on their day in real time including photos and videos. We are so grateful for Woodinville KinderCare!

  We joined Kindercare as a referral from another family in late November of 2020. We were in absolute chaos with the kids home and trying to get anything done. One of the main things we cared about was how they were handling covid protocols. Which they did really well! Each drop off was temp, questions, and hand cleaned. Only one family could walk up and everything was handled outside of the facility. The kids had their little pods and there wasn't any overlap. After feeling comfortable with the covid process, then came how the kids felt and their comfort level.... I have never seen my kids so happy. My 4 yr old son, started to refer to his friends as "brothers" and would tell me all the things he did in class in built with them. This school isn't some stuck up community but filled with real people and my kids were thrilled to be there. I ended up even having "Mom" friends because of the relationships my kids were building with their friends. How special. The app they use to document things helped me as a "helicoper" parent feel very comfortable too. They would send potty updates, food consumption notes, and photos/videos of the kids daily. We moved to AZ in March and one of the hardest things was leaving this community. Thank you KC Woodinville. We miss you daily.
