What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
My kids have been coming here over a year now. We came from another daycare down the road. Both my kids and myself have been through the RINGER before finding Kindercare. All my kids love it here. They run inside everyday, they always have a smile on their face when I pick them up, and sometimes my kids even refuse to leave! The leading faculty and teachers are absolutely fabulous and really do go above and beyond. Cleanliness? 12 out of 10. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I wish I brought my kids to yall sooner.
I’ve been bringing my son here since he was about 1, and he absolutely loves it. He never hesitates to stay, which speaks volumes to me. I actually removed him for a bit and tried an at-home childcare, but they had nothing on KinderCare—you truly get what you pay for. So, I brought him back, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. As a parent, I’ve realized that no one will ever care for your child the way you do, but KinderCare comes close. The teachers are great and very consistent. I believe they do their best with the resources they have, and it shows. The same staff members have been here since I first started coming, with hardly any turnover, which is a huge plus. That being said, I do think the teachers can do better in some areas. However, I won’t lower my rating because these situations are being addressed, and I appreciate the efforts to improve. Like any place, there may be occasional issues, but they are always quick and prompt in addressing them, which I really appreciate. The directors, Ileanette and Shelita, are amazing—they are in their positions for a reason! They are always responsive, professional, and genuinely care about the children and families they serve. The care and attention they provide truly make a difference!
I absolutely love this daycare! My daughter has been attending since she was four months old, and the experience has been amazing. The teachers in the infant room truly put me at ease, which was so important because I had a lot of anxiety about finding the right daycare. From the very beginning, the directors made me feel comfortable by thoroughly explaining the daily routine and how they care for each child. One of the things I appreciate most is the real-time updates. I receive notifications when her diaper is changed, when she’s fed, and even pictures of her participating in activities. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in great hands. I highly recommend this daycare to any parents looking for a safe, caring, and well-organized environment for their little ones! I’ve even told my friends who are searching for a daycare that this is the place to go.
I know how nervous us parents can be with leaving our precious little ones with someone else while we tackle the day but let me tell you I’m so relieved to have found a place like my KinderCare family! I’ve been coming to KinderCare since 2022! They always keep me updated with activities and my kiddos wellbeing. Both center directors are very helpful and understand when I need something and the teachers always make sure my kiddos are clean and have the right shoe on the right foot lol ALWAYS friendly and leave me with a sense of relief at drop off and pickup. So happy to have found this gem of childcare ❤️
This place is so nice and clean. I have enrolled my two kids since January, 2022 and I couldn't be more happy for the choice I've made. Teachers are very caring and they go above and beyond. I enjoy the app a lot during the day when I receive information about what my kids are doing at the center. All staff works hard and they are very welcoming and loving. My kids love their teacher, I can see their faces everyday when we go to the classroom. I would highly recommend this place!!! Management is the best, they will always be there for you if you need anything. I have tried many places, I am so happy, I can trust them with my kids.
