  We relocated from PA due to work and looked at several daycares in the area, but Kindercare was the obvious choice from the start. Our son was there from the day after his 2nd birthday until a month after he turned 3, and we could not be happier with our decision to send him here. The teachers and staff are kind, welcoming, and know the names of every child that walks through the doors, and know them as both little learners and as people. We were always greeted with a smile and left with the knowledge that our son was in a safe, warm, and playful environment. Heather, Kim, and Kelci are a great team who lend their talents across the entire operation. It was bittersweet to move on after he had such a wonderful summer with Ms. Celines, Ms. Jackie, Ms. Emily, and Ms. Devin. If you send your child here, they will grow and learn in a place that wants the best for them and their familly. We recommend it wholeheartedly and are excited to send our baby girl here in a few months.

  There are not enough words to express how grateful I am to KinderCare for the love, care, and support they gave my grandson Teddy. The teachers and staff were caring, loving, patient, and attentive. It was clear every day how much they genuinely cared about Teddy and wanted him to be happy, comfortable, and successful. The daily activities were wonderful and gave him so many opportunities to learn, explore, play, and grow. It's hard to believe he is off to kindergarten, and while I am so excited for him, we are going to miss everyone at KinderCare. I highly recommend KinderCare of Hockessin to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, fun, and loving place for their child!

  We transferred to Hockessin KinderCare in August of 2025 after experiencing some challenges at our previous daycare facility that we felt were poorly addressed by leadership. From my first time there for my tour and since, I have seen just how much site leadership and staff cares about the children in their care. My daughter can be slow to warm up in unfamiliar situations and was given the space and support she needed during her early days at the center. She has since been promoted to the preschool room and our experience has been stellar. She is making strides in her academic learning and we have seen her come out of her shell with her peers and teachers. Leadership is responsive and proactive with any questions, concerns, or feedback and we see our daughter’s teachers as partners in her care. To provide a clear example, our daughter recently started wearing glasses (a need that was identified by a cost-free Lions Club screening done at daycare!). I communicated the support we needed to ensure her compliance wearing them at all times AND her nerves about wearing them to school/being the only kid in class with her teachers and the site director. I promptly received a message thanking me for letting them know and assuring me that they would help her build great habits on site and that they would hype her up when they saw her wearing them for the first time. I received multiple messages from her teachers keeping me updated on how her first few days wearing the glasses were going and my daughter was so excited to tell me that she “matches” her teachers because they also wear glasses. I could not be more grateful to Heather, Kim, and the whole Hockessin Kindercare team for creating a safe, inclusive space for the most important person in my life. I know and trust that I can carry on my workday without worrying about whether my daughter is being treated well and being taught new skills.

  My son, now 5 yrs old, has been here since he was an infant. I toured several area daycares when I was pregnant. One made me cry, one was eh but when I walked out of KinderCare Hockessin I knew it was the right spot. We've had nothing but the best experience with every teacher we've encountered. The teachers and directors are now like family. My son is in Kindergarten this year but still does the before and after care at KinderCare because I didn't want anyone else looking after him. Over the last 5 years I have been very pleased and I don't know what I would do without this KinderCare family. Everyone treats my son as if he was their own. The teachers go out of their way to make sure the kids are taken care of. It is a great environment.
