What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
This location is fantastic! As a mom in the military, my daughter is living with her father, who chose this facility. The reassurance the Director & teachers gave me has put my mind at ease, as I am not physically present. A huge thank you to Ms. Mika, whom my daughter loves & now I do too! Ms. Heather & Ms. Natasha for always answering any questions or concerns. I thank them for what they have done for my baby & for me! I would recommend this location to anyone moving to SATX!
My kids having been going here for over 3 years now. Kindercare staff has turn into part of the family. They done an excellent job on watching and teaching my children like one of their own. They are friendly and my kids loves the relationship they have with their teachers. They have great communication with me and keep me updated on things going on in the classroom. They put my mind at ease knowing my kids will get pick up from school on time and during the summer, entertain them enough to make them want to attend. Definitely recommend to my family and friends.
My family is no stranger to the KinderCare family as my teenager used to attend the two different locations in San Antonio. However the last 4 years I have had the pleasure of having my youngest three children attend Toepperwein from the Infant room all the way to the After Schooler's classroom. They have become a second family for us and I know everyday that my kiddos are there they are in excellent loving capable hands. Any time there is any sort of incident, no matter how mild or major, I am notified by call - in app message - text - or upon pickup. The teachers here love their students so much and is shows. They are always learning and helping our kids with their creativity and social skills. Ill be sad when my kiddos have outgrown the daycare age or if we ever have to move!
As a new mom, starting my son in daycare at 2 months old was stressful. Once I spoke with and met the director Jayme she made me feel so at ease. The ladies in the infant room Estella, Amanda and Sylvia are amazing. Highly recommend.
The infant classroom teachers are truly the best. Ms Sylvia, Amanda, and Estella are warm, caring, endlessly patient, consistent, and dedicated to taking great care of all of the babies in their charge. If you want your baby to feel loved, to learn new skills, and to do adorable art projects, this is the place! They took care of my baby Chloe from three months old until we had to move for work right after she turned nine months old - I was so nervous to leave her in daycare but she LOVED her teachers (our whole family did) and we wished we could take them with us! We had some random requests during our time as we helped our daughter grow and learn and they were always flexible and patient with our needs. We cannot say enough good things about this amazing team at Toepperwein Road KinderCare!
