  As a military family, we LOVE and GREATLY appreciate the genuine care that ALL of the staff put into our two little boys. This is our boys’ third daycare, and they’re only 3.5 and 1.5 years old. We’ve been with this center for a year now, and we truly wish we didn’t have to leave. We have had ZERO issues with the administration or educators. Everyone has been kind, caring, and incredibly supportive of our family. Kindercare, please take care of this specific school and its amazing staff. They are truly a blessing to our family. As parents, being able to drop our children off with NO hesitation, knowing they are genuinely cared for, means everything to us. ❤️

  Santee Kindercare has been a blessing for our family. My grandson was there for 5 years and made many friends. The staff was all very caring and there were so many activities both fun and educational. I highly recommend them if anyone is in need of a preschool/ daycare.

  My son is 13 months now and has been going to Kindercare since I finished maternity leave. At first I was so worried about my baby being away from me. Over time I realized that at Kindercare he is with people who love him and see him for the unique and sweet boy he is. He is now thriving in the toddler room with all the activities and friends. The fact that Kindercare provides meals, too, is a bonus when there's 2 working parents.

  Santee KinderCare is fantastic! I am so glad I enrolled my toddler at Santee Kindercare. Our experience has been night and day compared to what some old reviews claimed. There is so much to love about this center: Strong Leadership: The director, Ana, runs a wonderful, organized facility. She is incredibly communicative, approachable, and constantly plans engaging activities for the children. Exceptional Teachers: The toddler teachers—Ms. Marylou, Ms. Diana, and Mr. Junior—are wonderfully caring, loving, and truly go above and beyond to make sure the kids have a comfortable, fun day. They handle conflict and minor incidents with real empathy and keep parents well-informed. Fun & Organized Curriculum: Themes and activities are planned well in advance, with helpful monthly email schedules sent to parents. Summer is especially fun with splash days, puppet shows, and special visits from the local fire department! Included Meals: Having meals included is a huge relief for busy parents. The food is healthy, tasty, and well-balanced—my toddler actually eats better at daycare than at home! Constructive Feedback / Room for Growth: If I had one minor suggestion, it would be to increase outdoor time during non-summer months (currently around 30 minutes once or twice a day). Additionally, classes are combined during early drop-off and late pick-up times, which can feel a bit noisy and chaotic at times, though understandable for scheduling. Overall, I am so pleased with our choice. Ana and her team have created a safe, loving, and engaging environment for our child. If you are on the fence because of online reviews, I strongly encourage you to tour the center and meet the teachers yourself!
