What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
This facility always goes the extra mile to support student growth and a positive atmosphere. They have students create the cutest artwork and make it a point to make every family feel special and welcome. I recently had to switch daycares to improve the time of my commute. My only complaint is that I wish I had found this facility sooner and enrolled my other children.
The staff is great. This is a family centered facility. They treat the children as if they are own. Children and parents/Guardians are acknowledged by name every time they enter an exit the facility. I highly recommend the facility. I love that you can log on seeing daily photos and updates. They focus on fun and education. Kids love it.
My daughter went here from 4 months old until just over 2 years old. She would still be attending if we didn't have to move out of state. I can't recommend this KinderCare highly enough. My daughter learned so much while there. The classes are full of activities to help this kids hone their creativity and learn, even as young as the infant room. The teachers definitely care for the children. I can only hope her next day care lives up to this one 🩷
I was a stay at home mom for 4.5 yrs before entrusting my children (now 3 and 5 yrs old) to Kinder Care. This was a huge transition for the whole family and thankfully,my children's teachers, and all the staff really, made it an enjoyable one. The teachers do a great job with communicating, especially during a pandemic. The safety precautions taken to ensure a healthy environment have always been above and beyond the regular standards. And management is very understanding and informative when it comes to updates and answers any questions we've ever had. All around, we love Kinder Care for our kids. So much so that we're trying to enroll our child into the 'school of choice' (a beneficial program management informed us about) program so that she may continue attending Kinder Care.
I love love love this daycare. My son is now 7 months old and has reached his milestones very early. He has been going to this daycare since he was about 4 months old so he has been in the nursery. I highly recommend anyone to trust them with your little one. His teachers are beyond amazing, sweet, caring people. They love every single child they have there. The director is the BEST and I hope she never leaves. The teachers go out of their way to help me with my son even at home and on the weekend with recommendations and I need that because being a single mom I don’t get spend as much time with him as they do. I’m extremely happy happy with where my son is when I can’t be with him. Love this daycare!
