  We had a great experience at this KinderCare location. My daughter was here for about a year, in both the infant and the toddler classrooms. The best things about this location are (1) the hours, which stretch about as long as any daycare around (7:30 to 6:30), (2) the App, on which you get lots of picture and video updates of your child throughout the day, and most importantly (3) the staff, who are very dedicated, caring, and competent. In particular, Marsha and Lizbeth were excellent. Even the 1 year olds do many educational and skill-building activities, and the "curriculum" feels orderly and well-designed. It's not just a bunch of kids in a room running around. During the year that my daughter was here, I did not hear of any parents moving their children to another daycare center. Admittedly, it wasn't all great. The center closed one day for snow when public schools were still open, and that felt a little bit like a ripoff (of course we were still charged for the full week). They are vigilant about spotting rashes and taking temperatures, which is good for the health and safety of the kids, but can be frustrating when you are asked to pick up your kid and only take them back with a doctor's note when the concern is just a minor rash or a fever of 100.4. Presumably many other centers are the same way, because they can point to laws/regulations requiring this. They have also had a somewhat high level of turnover in administrative staff, but that has not impacted the day-to-day care that the kids get. All in all, I would definitely recommend this center for infant/toddler care.

  So far after a month I’m happy with them, we trust the teachers and have a good relationship with them. I believe they do care for our children and are doing God’s work. I was very nervous about very young toddler starting daycare, now she’s here making the sweetest friends.

  We are so grateful for our experience at KinderCare Fidi. The care is unmatched. Our son started in the Infant classroom at 5 months in 2022, and our daughter started in the infant room at 4 months in 2024. Our son absolutely blossomed in this center, and everyone there is like family. You can tell every teacher loves and cares for each student like their own. And the center goes above and beyond to provide activities beyond the classroom such as special musical guests, magic shows, animals. Both kids are happy at drop off, happy at pickup. We have recently moved out of NYC, and we have yet to find a center that matches the teaching, dedication, and personalization that KinderCare Fidi provides. The bar is very high.

  My son loves his friends and his teacher, Ms. V at Kindercare. He has shown so much growth these past few months and I know he is in good hands when I leave for the day. The space is clean and safe. The director and staff are great always finding ways to engage the students more.

  We cannot say enough amazing things about the KinderCare FiDi staff and infant program. Our daughter started at 6 months old (she is now going on 10 months) and as first time parents we were incredibly nervous and were attempting to decide between a nanny or a day care center. We researched tons of places, interviewed several nannies and spoke to many center directors before deciding on KinderCare FiDi. From day 1, the Center Director, Joyce, was patient, kind, funny and communicative. We could tell she was passionate about the center, the staff and the children. The rest of the staff which includes but is not limited to Shayna, Jasmine, Amanda and Tiana are very kind and professional as well; and they do lots of activities and take walks throughout the day. They never hesitate to provide a thoughtful update about our baby’s progress and continue to reassure me that we made the right decision. Through the parent app, we receive tons of notes, pictures and videos displaying our baby girl having a great time and the awesome staff cheering her on and enjoying her as much as we do. We highly recommend the KinderCare FiDi Center.
