What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
We absolutely love Kiddin Around! Our kids have been coming here for several years and they’re all excited to come (ages 4-8). We live in Flower Mound but I happily drive to Coppell as they are so wonderful. The staff remembers our kids when we visit and have so many activities suited for different age groups. It’s my go to childcare when I just need 2-3 hours of coverage and it makes it so much easier than trying to track down a sitter. Can’t recommend Kiddin Around enough! ❤️
If you ever needed some help or just wanted a break but felt bad or unsure to drop your kids off at a drop in daycare then this place is for you! Why do I mention this? Because this is how I felt when I was considering dropping my kids off anywhere. Kiddin’ Around is surely one of the best things that has ever happened to our family when it comes to childcare. Not only do I feel so so so assured when I drop my kids off but our kids love this place very much. The employees make our kids feel loved and welcome and the facility itself has so many different things the kids enjoy doing. There is really no other equivalency out there. They even provide lunch for an extra cost so if you’re in a pinch and literally need to drop your kid off and run to something with zero prep then this place has it all ready to go. I cannot recommend them enough. Really. Highly recommend!!
Our son loves to go to “playcare” as he calls it. He never stepped foot into a daycare setting until he turned 3. The first two dropoff he was a little shy and uncertain but quickly settled in. It’s been 4 months and everyday he wakes up and asks to go to “playcare” so that is the best sign a parent could ask for. This means our son is being treated well and taken care of and he is having fun at Kiddin around.
We love Kiddin' Around! My daughter is 5 years old and she gets so excited when I tell her we are dropping her off. The staff is very friendly, kind and caring. The facilities always smells clean and is tidy. We drive almost 45 minutes to Coppell to drop her off and its always well worth it. The price is also very affordable.
It’s been 7years since I sent my kids to KiddinAround when I need babysitters!! Best part is that I can drop them off and pick them up at MY CONVENIENCE…..!! also their serving food is great option for this busy mama!! Some of staffs have worked for years….!! This place has been our life saver for my irregular work schedule. Best drop-in daycare ever!!
