Desert Ridge KinderCare has been terrific! We enrolled our daughter in July 2020, right during the pandemic, and were worried sick about sending her to daycare with the increased exposure risk. But we have been so happy with their work to keep our daughter and our family safe and healthy! Covid aside, Ms. Jill and Ms. Emma in the infant room have done a terrific job in not only taking care of our baby girl, but teaching her! As new parents, we have been beyond happy to see that they utilize a learning plan that involves age appropriate introduction of new toys and activities as well as time of the year specific things like playing with pumpkin seeds over Halloween. She also gets to play with paint and food, ride in a buggy with her buddies, and play with leaves outside in the sun. She is socializing and learning from her other infant friends and learning how to not be the complete center of attention like she is at home. They've been instrumental in helping provide tips and suggestions to us new parents about diaper rash, drool rash, nap time, swaddling, when to up her diaper size, and when to introduce foods and drinks. Nothing pushy, just really nice to learn as we go! It's been a safe space to take our daughter and we are delighted each day to follow her care on the app, look at the pictures they upload with explanations of what she's doing/learning that day, and the end of day report detailing all of her diapers, naps, and food/drink so we can see exactly what happened and figure out when she will need to nap/eat/drink next. Finally, they have been prompt and responsive to all questions we have asked, which we primarily do through the app with all things Covid right now. Responses have been thorough and immediate and requests have consistently been fulfilled. We cannot say enough good things and would happily recommend this center, Jill, Emma, and Michelle to entrust with the care of other people's precious children.
