I am a mother of 2 boys and have had my share of different daycare centers. I have to say that Kindercare Waldorf has been the best experience I have ever encountered. All of the staff are friendly, I have never had a concern with my children being mistreated/mishandled. When my children first started attending the Director would always speak and ask about my wellbeing. When any of my children were having a difficult time transitioning, the staff whether they were their teacher or not would step-in to assist and be very gentle. My children were always greeted and shown love by the staff from different classrooms. I would recommend this daycare to anyone in need of childcare.

If I could give this daycare 10 stars I would. Being a military family, my son has now attended several daycares and KinderCare is by far the best we have ever had. The daycare providers we began to think of as family. They cared for my son as if he was their own. I’d like to specificity mention Ms Stephanie in the toddler room and Ms Alicia in the infant rooms because my son just adored them. I never had to experience dropping my son off crying bc he loved attending everyday. Thanks for all you do staff at KinderCare, you truly are the BEST there is to offer for childcare!

The experience of searching for quality care for our son was very nerve-wracking. We visited the Kindercare Smallwood facility and liked what we saw. It is passcode-protected, there were many adults watching the children, our son’s room had an open layout and the children seemed happy and cared for.
After weighing our options, we took a chance and signed our son up. He loves his teachers and the friends he’s made since being there. I really appreciate that the teachers give us a daily report of all his activities. I also like that Kindercare follows a standardized curriculum that includes a monthly email letting the families know what the children will be learning that month.
Even though he has specifically assigned teachers, it seems that the whole staff looks after him. We commend the entire staff, but would like to give specific recognition to the following teachers:
- Ms. Nicole and Ms. Pam (thanks for everything you’re doing to get him ready to be a great student when he’s older)
- Ms. Katy and Ms. Jessica (thanks for being there with him now and for everything you did for him previously)
- Ms. Alicia and Ms. Kim (thanks for watching him when we used to drop him off at 6:00am!)
- Ms. Taylor (thanks for watching him when we are late picking him up!)
- Ms. Teri and Ms. Deanna (thanks for your leadership and for choosing wonderful and caring teachers)
It has been a sacrifice for us to leave our son here because of where we live and work, but having a safe and nurturing place to leave our child is truly priceless. Our son continues to grow tremendously and we thank Kindercare Smallwood for the important role they’ve played in his development.

I am a student I went in and fell in love with the atmosphere. They are very well protected and are nicely put together I may say.
