  We sent our child to this daycare for several years. In the beginning, we had a good experience. However, things changed once our child became a more active toddler. As he became more energetic and had difficulty sitting still or following a structured schedule, we were frequently asked to pick him up. Many of these calls came before lunchtime, often after the first behavioral incident of the day. Despite our child rarely being able to complete a full day, we continued paying full tuition. If you’re considering this daycare for an active toddler who is still learning to regulate their emotions or has occasional tantrums—which is a normal part of toddler development—our experience was that this was not the right environment. We were expected to pick up our child immediately after the first incident, and if we didn’t answer right away, the daycare would continue calling until someone came to get him. Rather than working through age-appropriate behaviors, it felt like sending children home was the first solution instead of the last. Every family’s experience may be different, but based on ours, this daycare seems better suited for children who are already able to consistently follow routines, sit still for extended periods, and rarely have behavioral challenges. Families of active toddlers should know what to expect before enrolling.

  Greenwood KinderCare has a professional and fun environment feeling which plays a very positive, important role in my childrens lives. Both of my children have started in the infant classroom and one is now in the pre-k whilst the other is in the toddler classroom. I have seen positive outcomes in my children such as, developing social skills, learning structure and routine, no TV, educational and art activities, having fun/play time with friends, emotional growth, diverse learning experiences and preparation for school. The teachers are very caring, attentive and have open communication which I greatly value and trust. I get regular daily updates on my children through the daycare’s application. They share with me on how my kids did that day, and during drop off and pick up, they are very easy to talk to. The teachers and directors answer my questions and get back to me whenever I send them questions via message, phone or when I ask in person. The facilities are safe, clean, and the daycare is an open door policy where I (the parent) can swing by unannounced to see how my little ones are doing during the day. I have to admit that I got EXTREMELY lucky as there was a waitlist and I signed before COVID was over (2021) so I did have to wait a bit, but after some time, spots opened up. It was understandable due to the overwhelming increase in demand of childcare has gone up in recent times. I am grateful to have found a daycare that makes my children feel supported and nurtured everyday.

  Hello everyone, If I could give this school a 0 I would the staff is very unprofessional the tour coordinator Derrick is raciest and very rude the website is not updated are they pick and choose who’s enrolled in there school. I called officer manager Derrick he informed me there was opening to book an tour on arriving there for my tour , I was notified that he called off last minute and didn’t notify his staff that he had a tour schedule I was then rush threw my tour and was giving documents to sign when calling to inform about the correct information to hopefully start my child in this school Dereck then put me on hold twice unsure on all conversations and then told me he would have to place her in a higher toddler class to then place me back on hold to say By protocol, he couldn’t do that and now he no longer have any availability spots I truly wouldn’t recommend this school to no one just cause of the Miscommunication and the lack of assistance was giving to me this whole Experience was not Positive Pleasant to endure it was a very stressful situation when you feel that you have a school for your child and then off one call he’s telling you you don’t have any availability open when you already arranged things for your child

  No daycare is perfect but, Kinder Care comes close. I recently had a complain and the director resolved the issue within 24 hours. I had my son's 6 month checkup and his doctor was very impressed by his skill level. She said he is well advanced for his age and could be crawling/ talking in the next month! I attribute that to the many activities the school does. I am happy to have found Kinder Care.

  Child Abuse! My three year old daughter was grabbed by the arm so hard and aggressively and then physically pulled down to the floor by a teacher at Kinder Care named Ms. Adalia. The incident happened just a few minutes before I walked in the door to pick her up, so my daughter was able to communicate this to me. When I rolled up her sleeve to see what my daughter was pointing at she showed me the red wheeled mark and sacredly cried " Ms Adalia hurt me"... There was a 4 finger welt mark that lasted a 1/2 hour! When I asked the aggressor what happen she did this dog and pony show on another child to show how she "handled" my child. Which didn't match up with the welted finger prints... While she's doing this demonstration in my mind I'm also thinking, why are you even touching the children? I photographed the mark and filled a police report. The detective I reported it to said he could see it and said I had a case. Unfortunately The school did a wonderful job covering it up. The assistant director saw the welts immediately after the incident and agreed they were quite visible but an incident report was not written in the moment. I had to insistently ask for it to be written and I finally got one three days after the incident occurred. In which, at that point the school would not let me communicate with the accused teacher or assistant director who barred whiteness to the marks. At the time of the incident there was a parent in the room picking up her child.When I asked her what happen she said she didn't know. Then the story got changed, by the school to the police department, that she did know and "nothing" happened. They twisted it up really well. So much to the point that they were trying to claim that my three old placed a four adult size finger welt mark print on herself... !!!!! Can you imagine? As the story goes the teacher had several versions of the incident. 1 she told me, one she told the school and one she told the police. I was devastated, shocked and disappointment and afraid for the well being of my child and pulled her out the following week. My daughter and I have been traumatized by this experience a heath a warning to all parents looking at this place as an option. STAY AWAY RUN! Don't trust Kinder Care - Not only this location but the entire organization - because the cover up came all the way up from the top. The main office didn't even return my calls. Can you believe that. I left several messages and not one call returned. When I put my daughter in this school I had a gut feeling and I should of listened. Everything other reviewers on Yelp say about how dirty, under equipped and and how lack luster the staff is all true. Btw. I posted a review on yelp as well and it got "taken down" as soon as Kinder Care started advertising with them. But don't get me started on Yelp. Also the parents here are not united and actually I volunteered for a events at the school and was disappointed in the support by the parents. Aggression levels are high: amongst the children they are allowed to play shooter gun games my daughter said she didn't like it. Children are allowed to play with baseball bats and there isn't a baseball team in sight. Instead they wield them around as swords, guns and whack one another with them. Teachers are picking children up by the arm, yelling in their faces. I witnessed several instances of this when picking my daughter up from school, from the parking lot on any given day. Can you imagine what goes on when they think no one is looking!!??? With all this said the teacher who hurt my daughter is still teaching there, the other teachers are still there and the school is left unchanged!
