As first time parents, we were very picky when choosing a daycare for my infant. Our family couldn't have been happier with the experience at Franconia Road KinderCare. Heidy and her team of teachers take exceptionally good care of our child. They consistently welcomed feedback and adjusted to our child's individual feeding and nap schedule, gave lots of artistic and physical enrichment appropriate to her development, and above all provided consistent communication throughout the day through the convenient app. We highly recommend this location for any parent looking for a secure facility filled with loving and attentive teachers and staff.

I was referred to this daycare by a friend and was really looking forward to bringing my kids here. I scheduled a tour on Friday for Monday, but when we arrived, there was no one there to meet us. We waited outside for over 10 minutes before someone finally came to show us around.
We actually really liked the daycare, so I told her I would call the same day to confirm whether my kids would be attending. I did, and I was told I would receive a call back that same day. Nothing.
The next day, still nothing. On the third day, I called more than three times and was repeatedly told someone would call me back. No one ever did. I finally called again about an hour before closing, only to be told that their infant spot was already full.
This was extremely frustrating, especially after being told to wait for a call for three days. I have to return to work next week, and because I was waiting for their response, I lost valuable time that I could have spent looking into other childcare options.
I understand that spaces fill up, but the lack of communication and professionalism was very disappointing. A simple phone call could have saved me several days. I would not recommend a daycare that handles communication with families this way.

It was our son’s last day at Kindercare Franconia Road and to say it was an emotional day is an understatement. My son started at this center 2.5 years ago at only 3 months old. Like every first time mom, I was anxious about leaving my baby with strangers but that was short-lived. The infant teachers, Ms Rozita and Ms Aaliyah, were wonderful, caring, and invested in my son even at such a young age. For example, I remember walking in one day to find Ms Rozita doing a sensory session with feathers with the babies and Ms Aaliyah seemed to always be on the ground working with the infants during tummy time.
When my son was starting to walk, he transitioned to Infant B in Ms Carmen’s room where he learned to be more stable, and learned to eat and nap independently. Ms Carmen always went out of her way to give us an update on his progress for things like learning to eat with utensils, drinking out of an open cup, sign language, first words, etc.
At 18 months, he moved into the Two’s classroom with Ms Mimi where his development accelerated: he learned to talk, play with friends, dance, color, sing, and so much more! Ms Mimi gave our son so much love and attention, especially as he started to navigate the first big emotions as a two year-old. Every morning he would ask to go to school to “see Ms Mimi”. As a working mother, it helps to know your child is so cared for that they wake up excited to go to school to see their teacher.
During our final few months at the school, our son moved up to Ms Tiya’s and Ms Linda’s classroom where he established friendships, learned the foundations of potty training, the ABC’s, counting to 20 in English and Spanish, reading independently, imaginative play, etc. Ms Linda and Ms Tiya have played a huge role in helping our son develop into a sweet and thoughtful little boy.
Lastly, the center had quite a bit of turn over with directors over our tenure but there was very little impact to our son’s learning environment due to the consistency with the teachers and Ms Denise stepping up as assistant Director. More recently, Ms Heidy joined as the director and she has made an immediate impact to how the center was being run day to day. She made improvements and created efficiencies that were desperately needed.
Unfortunately, our military station has come to an end and we are moving to a different state so we had to say our goodbyes to everyone at Kindercare Franconia Road. Thank you to all the teachers who have made an impact to our son’s early childhood development. We will sorely miss you!
Love,
The Bangos Family

I refused to place my child here because of their atrocious communication skills while I was just trying to set up a virtual tour. I directly expressed my concerns to them but I’m still getting canned emails months later, my concerns have not been acknowledged, and I feel harassed. I’ve had to block several different email addresses to try and stop hearing from them. Maybe this negative review will finally get them to stop! Don’t place your child here if they can’t handle simple communications!
