  This KinderCare has a pattern of poor communication and outright dismissal of legitimate concerns from both staff and parents, especially regarding sickness and health issues. It feels like raising a red flag is met with indifference or outright hostility. Children are regularly spoken to in a demeaning manner—called “bad” and treated harshly rather than with patience and understanding. Equally troubling is how staff and parents are often talked down to, as if their voices and concerns don’t matter. Respect is severely lacking at every level. Perhaps most shocking are reports of serious safety violations that have been ignored or swept under the rug. Teachers with histories in of physically abusing children have been allowed to continue working here. A cook employed by the center has been reported by multiple families to physically hold children down and force them to comply with tasks against their will. Instead of addressing this abusive behavior, parents have been blamed for their children’s “poor behavior.” When children struggle with normal developmental or behavioral challenges, the response is not support or intervention—it’s sending the child home because the director claims they “can’t handle” the situation. This kind of approach is negligent and harmful. This environment is toxic, unsafe, and unprofessional. It strips children of dignity and puts their physical and emotional wellbeing at risk. Parents deserve transparency, respect, and real care — none of which this KinderCare provides. If you want a childcare center that truly values your child’s safety and growth, keep looking. This is not the place.

  Would not recommend! Child safety and precaution is unregulated. Staff does not carefully monitor the children’s behavior and will never acknowledge incompetence.

  Take my advice and don’t regret enrolling your child in this KinderCare location. Why is it so bad? It’s due to the unprofessional behavior of the manager, Lindsey… she created a stressful and inappropriate environment. The management a few months ago used to be great! Until new management was hired... My brothers child has even mentioned how mean she is to the employees, which raises serious concerns about the workplace atmosphere and its impact on the kids. To make matters worse, when I help out my brother and pick up his kid the Manager, Lindsey was dishonest with me on several occasions, lying straight to my face. This lack of integrity is unacceptable, especially in a setting where trust between parents and staff is crucial. I expect better from a childcare facility, and I urge the administration to address these issues immediately. Until then, I cannot recommend this location to any parent who values a nurturing and professional environment for their child.

  Our kids love going to Kindercare here. We've known the current assistant director for years now and can count on the staff to take great care of our kids. They don't even want to leave most days when i come to pick them up since they are usually doing a fun activity!
