  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.

  Our son has been attending KinderCare since he was around 6-7 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Carlie, Tracy, and all the teachers have shown exceptional care and dedication. They consistently go above and beyond to make sure our child is always comfortable, happy, and engaged. The staff’s warmth and professionalism are evident in everything they do. They create a nurturing environment where children can thrive, learn, and feel secure. The activities and programs are thoughtfully designed to stimulate development and foster a love for learning. Moreover, the communication with parents is excellent. We are always kept informed about our son’s progress, daily activities, and any important updates. It gives us great peace of mind to know that he is in such capable and loving hands. We highly recommend KinderCare to anyone looking for exceptional childcare in the area. The dedication and care provided by the team have made a significant positive impact on our son’s early development and overall well-being. Thank you, KinderCare, for creating such a wonderful environment for our child!

  My daughter started at KinderCare Pewaukee end of January 2023. I will say it was very hard to leave my 12 week old at daycare but Kindercare made me feel so much better with reassurance, constant communication, and the app that they use. Throughout the day I receive pictures/videos, what they eat, and their toileting. If I ever have any questions- they are responsive right away. I would highly recommend this daycare facility! My daughter loves going there!

  My son has been at Kindercare since he was a newborn. They truly are amazing! I highly recommend this daycare to anyone. It is scary sending your baby off to someone else but Kindercare in Pewaukee is so active on the app an they have (which is an awesome app to see what they're doing during the day, when they eat what they eat, when they go to the bathroom, they post the cutest pictures of my son ect.). The staff there are so friendly and the turn over rate seems to be very low because most of the teachers there have been there for over two years now which is so nice to see because good staff are hard to come by! They truly get to know your child and what they need/want, my son has never cried at drop off because he LOVES going to daycare to see his friends and teachers. 10/10 recommend them!

  We have had our child there now for over 2 years. He recently turned 5 and is bused over from the Pewaukee school district at Noon everyday. He really enjoys his time and friends that he has made at the center. They work VERY hard at filling the needs of each and every child as well as considering the Parents desires. We have been very impressed at how hard they work at being Professional but also at being Personal. We would strongly recommend this center!
