  I'm a critical reviewer so bear that in mind. Our child was here for 4.5 years. Overall things were great but a few issues over the years. The good things- overall nice staff; One of them even baby-sits for us on occasion. The kitchen lady says hi every day without fail. They have some shade in the play area which is more than most public schools. They bring in outside fun for show and tell like reptiles, police officers, fire fighters, etc. Teacher turnover seems like a consistent thing but they managed it relatively well considering its disruptive. They also threatened me with "Legalese" once which was weird especially since they didn't understand what they were talking about even though they do this full time. Lucky for you, that staff member no longer works there. Our child also has more allergy issues than most kids with allergies. No life-threatening emergencies ever occurred but there were a few issues. Considering our child is more challenging in this area, they seemed to manage it as well as they could. They always included allergy safe versions of things during parties for our child which was awesome.

  We have had a very positive experience with KinderCare, and I’m truly grateful for all the teachers and staff who have been part of my daughter’s journey. She started daycare on July 8, 2024, when she was just 14 months old, and her last day was August 17, 2026. Over these two years, we watched her learn, grow, become more independent, and, most importantly, have a great time at school. Her Toddler Room teachers, Miss Keanna and Miss Mariah, hold a very special place in our hearts. When our daughter started daycare at just 14 months old, it was a huge adjustment for her. She was very young and had to get used to being away from us, and spending her day with new people. Those initial days were emotional for both her and us as parents. Miss Keanna and Miss Mariah provided so much emotional support, comfort, patience, and reassurance during those early days. They were incredibly attentive to her needs and helped her feel safe and secure in the classroom. They comforted her when she was upset, gave her the reassurance she needed. They helped her build confidence and trust and created a warm and caring environment where she could start developing relationships with her teachers and classmates. They gave her such a positive foundation, and we will always appreciate the care and emotional support they gave her. When she transitioned to the DP room, we initially had Miss Tania and Miss Juztina, followed later by Miss Maya and Miss Angelica. During that transition, we did experience some challenges, particularly with the new teachers. There was quite a bit of frustration among parents, and management eventually listened to the concerns and took action to address the situation. I genuinely appreciate that management was responsive to the parents and took the necessary steps to resolve the issues. Because of what we experienced during that transition, we started looking at other schools and daycare options for our daughter. We had actually made up our minds to move her to another school before she transitioned to preschool. However, then came Miss Angela, her Preschool teacher, and she almost completely changed our minds! ❤️ She was such a wonderful teacher, and our daughter really enjoyed being in her classroom. We could see how happy and comfortable our daughter was with her, and we could also see how much she was learning. Miss Angela made such a positive impression on both our daughter and us that, for a while, we seriously considered staying. In the end, we still decided to move our daughter, but it was definitely not an easy decision. Miss Angela was one of the biggest reasons we found ourselves questioning whether we should leave at all. I also want to give a special shout-out to the front desk team, Miss Leah and Miss Giselle. They have been incredibly supportive, welcoming, and caring toward our daughter and our family from day one. During much of our time there, Director Melody was away from the center for extended periods due to personal reasons, and as a result, Miss Leah and Miss Giselle often became the people we relied on most for day-to-day communication, questions, and support. The KinderCare app was another thing we really appreciated. It was extremely helpful to receive updates throughout the day, including how much food our daughter was eating, her nap updates, and her sign-in/sign-out details. As parents, being able to see those little updates during the day gave us peace of mind. Overall, despite some challenges along the way, we are very happy with our overall experience at KinderCare. No daycare experience is perfect, but what matters most to us is that our daughter was cared for, emotionally supported, learned a lot, and made many happy memories. Last but not the least, she made so many wonderful friends there and we got chance to make parent friends :)

  We sent our kid when he was an infant and also when he was a toddler. The teachers gave updates about his activities regularly and I found the teachers very loving. There are lots of different activities they do which help babies and toddlers learn so many new skills!
