  Pewaukee Kindercare has been so warm and welcoming to my family since day one. There was a welcome sign on the door for our first day and the classrooms were already prepared for my children's arrival by having their assigned cubbies ready. All the teachers and staff addressed my children by their names on day 1 which made them feel very comforted. It is clear director, Carlie and her staff take a lot of pride in their facility to make it a home away from home for our children.

  The teachers are so amazing and make the kids feel so special. I always love walking in and having my son run to his class to see his teacher and all his friends.

  We had a great experience at this daycare, just wish we were there longer! We initially had our twin boys in a different daycare that became unreliable due to staffing shortages. We switched to a different facility when we could but just felt like their classroom was chaotic and they weren’t getting the attention they needed. We finally switched to Pewaukee Kindercare and it has been amazing. My sons (4 year old twins) have loved their time here and made friends with their whole class. One son in particular went from being a more shy, more cautious personality to showing the full range of his goofiness. Their teacher, Antonette, is responsive and works with us when concerned about their behavior and has really helped them become more confident on their own. The director and assistant director (Carlie and Tracie) are also great. So easy to talk to, quick with responses, and truly care about our kids. We can’t thank the entire staff enough.

  Our first child has been at Kindercare since he was 4 months old and we could not be happier with the decision to send him to this Kindercare location!!! The teachers in the infant room (Ms Rachel, Ms Ann Marie and Ms Amber) are all amazingly patient, kind, and sweet. We were so nervous dropping him off that first day but these three made the transition smooth and painless! After five months at the center, it’s obvious that the teachers really care about our son! It’s been so fun to see our little guy grow to love his teachers as he gets older too. He is genuinely excited to see them every morning. We appreciate the staff at Kindercare Pewaukee ten times over. It’s the teachers and team who make this center the awesome place it is! Thank you!!! :)

  My child was at this KinderCare for 2 years up until a little over a month ago. I did not want to make this review right away just to give them the benefit of the doubt more or less. I’ll start with the positives. All of the teachers are very nice, Ms.Antonette was amazing in prek, and the app is great to have. They do a lot of activities with the kids. I also never had to worry about the horror stories you hear online which is what kept us there as long as it did. For the negatives. From the time my child was three until we left it was suggested multiple times to get my child adhd tested. I asked his primary care provider who said his behavior was not severe enough to test him and to try some exercises at home. They do not test at 3. After being told that was weird because another child was being treated and after constant conversations I went as far as switching my child’s care provider, whom I loved, just to be told the same thing but that we could try play therapy. In the two years we were there, I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen things thrown, kids screaming, play fighting outside. Which no fault to the center but my son was in PreK with a child who had behavioral problems and after that kid my son was not the same. He was angry all the time, acting out, I didn’t recognize him and neither did the center. Conversations almost every day about something wrong my child did. I was mentally and physically exhausted as a single working mother trying to balance everything. The director finally asked me if anything was going on at home and that hurt. I felt like I was failing. They never got to see the tears and effort that went on at home with his emotions or the constant wondering what I’m doing wrong. Or the waitlists of therapists or doctor visits. I decided to pull my son out after that conversation. His second to last day I walked to the play ground to get him and watched a child throw 3 handfuls of wood chips at my son before I finally said something. Just to get to the corner and see three teachers sitting there talking. I knew in that moment I made the right decision. There was no thought of the way the other children act together that I, and my mother, have witnessed on numeral occasion it was always what could I as the mother do better. There were other minor things but I also know no one or no day care is perfect this was just the biggest thing that hurt the most. My son’s been at his new center for about month. I now see a lot of the behavior I witnessed was not normal. They also deal with special needs children. Instantly they told me they don’t see adhd at all and just told me again today. He’s just an active child. I get told all the time how good he is and such a good helper. It feels like I can breathe again. I appreciate KinderCare for being there in a time of need but my biggest regret is not pulling my child out sooner and doubting myself so much. He is a whole different child and happier.
