  My daughter attended KinderCare San dimas in the twos program for about 9 months!! We just recently pulled her due to relocating out of state. We were very sad to leave!!! My daughter completely transformed during her time at the center! When she first started she could barely speak. Her teachers ms. Veronica, ms. Abbey and Ms. Maria are WONDERFUL. They are the sweetest but firm when they need to be for example safety reasons or naughty behavior, which I appreciate. In 9 months my daughter knows her colors, shapes, counting to ten in English and Spanish, good manners, sharing and is potty trained!! Honestly they met all of my expectations and beyond! This center is clean, safe, everyone is warm and welcoming, and FUN! The only concern I had and didn’t realize towards the end of our stay is that for the nap each child has their own cot and they place the blankets over their faces, the kids don’t seem to mind it and I’m sure they can breathe, just seems odd to me but I’m sure they have their reasons maybe due to the light coming in from the windows but other than that we had no issues other than a billing issue( them sending me a bill for weeks after her withdrawal date) but the center director Roxanne was so quick and resolved it for me. Thank you again to everyone at this location🩷 you are all truly amazing at what you do. With love, The Norris family

  I would not recommend this school ESPECIALLY if you have a child with special needs of any kind- I’m not sure if it’s just the location or the chain in general. I thought a long time about writing this review because there were a few good things but now that my son is in a new school environment where he is supported and loved I see the difference. My son has special needs, and I was recommended by the regional center to look into Kindercare as they would possibly allow his therapist to come in the classroom and they were supportive of neurodivergent kiddos. This could not be further and I’ve already filed a formal complaint with the regional center for their suggestion. I was told that my son was a problem I was told teacher wanted to quit because of him. I was every day made to feel like we were a burden even though we were spending $300 a week at that school. I’ve Seen the way they run their classrooms and their discipline style is very authoritarian I even saw one teacher grab a student by the face to tell them “we don’t do that in my classroom” and this was a two year old child. The Director is extremely passive aggressive. She plays as nice, but in reality all she seems to care about is keeping her classroom filled, but not the quality. I’ve been suggested by special needs advocates that I should sue them for their treatment of me and my son because it created extreme emotional stress however, I think this review is enough and hopefully it will save another parent and child from the heartache that we went through going to that school. My son has less aggressive issues. He’s not having outburst in the classroom at his new school like he was. Environment was just really terrible for the kids. At times there were 24 kids and one teacher which is against state regulations they would claim short staffing, but if parents are paying so much, why don’t they have more teachers none of it made sense to me in retrospect. They don’t care about the kids. All they care about is their income. I suppose that might be expected with a chain. My point is there are way better options especially for this price. The only good thing about this place was his teacher because she really loved him but the way the school was run was just absolutely terrible in my opinion and especially now that we are experiencing a much better environment. Save yourself the headache and don’t send your kid here.

  My toddler attended KinderCare at San Dimas. She loved it. We loved the teachers and staffs (Ms. Lauren and Ms. Roxanne). They were all kind and friendly to our needs. We loved that the facility was always clean and is spacious for the number of children in class. Everyone knew my child’s name and were always greeted with a smile. I recommend this to any family in the area.
