We joined the KinderCare at Town Center family in 2004 when our oldest two children were ages 1 and almost 3. We had come from an in-home daycare where they both started as babies. Our almost 3 year old was ready for more interaction, stimulation and activity than the in-home daycare could provide for her, but we were nervous about being in a larger environment with many more children, especially for the very younger ages/babies. But when we saw how clean and cared for the baby room was, the care the teachers and staff took in keeping both babies and toddlers in a safe, clean, active, and age appropriate environment, and the plethora of activities that our 3 year old could engage in, our nerves were immediately calmed. Our older 2 children continued at KinderCare, working their way up through the various age classrooms to the school age group. Through each age and classroom, the teachers and staff were remarkable in how they helped the kids and us, as parents, transition to each room, and especially work through the various challenges, stages, and phases that each age brought with it. When they got to be school-age, KinderCare transported them to and from school which was a huge relief and help from a parental perspective to know that they had a safe way to get to and from school, and a seamless transition for before and after school care. Our kids loved going to KinderCare every day.
In 2009 and 2016, when our younger two children were born, there was absolutely no question in our mind that we would enroll them at the Town Center KinderCare. Each time, the director, Kathy, as well as many of the teachers were still there, and are still there now, and that consistency in itself speaks very highly of how the center is run on a day-to-day basis. We saw, and still see to this day, the same caring, fun, and safe environment for our children. Our third child also grew tremendously with the phonics program which has rewarded him well in school. We fully intend to enroll our youngest in the same program when the time comes.
When we say we joined the KinderCare family, we do mean family. Our children spend a large portion of their day, and their growing, with the KinderCare teachers and staff and they know our children very well. For us, choosing a daycare was much more than the logistics and cost. It was also very much about the character of the person(s) taking care of them. The care, thoughtfulness and partnering that the teachers and staff at Town Center KinderCare have done with us as parents on a daily basis is amazing and they truly are an integral part of our family. We couldn't feel more comfortable and confident leaving our children in their care and we are so appreciative of everything they have done for our family!
Updating my review from a few years ago:
We currently have two children in KinderCare at Town Center. Due to the COVID pandemic, we ended up putting our 1st grade-aged child back into KinderCare along with our toddler. They are both THRIVING! We had kept both of our children at home from March through June to reduce exposure. This center is considered an essential worker daycare center. They really doing a wonderful job keeping all of the children safe, happy, and well-fed. My wife and I are very grateful for their commitment to the kids' safety, happiness, and learning. Shoutout to their new admin staff - Ms. Kellie and Ms. Jessica! They always have a smile on their faces and our kids love them! We really couldn't be happier!
We have been extremely happy with KinderCare at Town Center. Kathy Cook, director, and Lisa Rivera, assistant director, lead an awesome pre-K center for all children. Our daughter has loved every single teacher she's had so far. Shoutout to her current teacher, Ms. Sonie! Thank you for caring for our child. :)
