What Parents Say
K-CITY receives highly polarized reviews with stark contrasts between experiences. Some long-term parents praise kind staff, balanced activities, and responsive communication. However, multiple recent reviews report serious concerns including inadequate supervision, excessive CPS referrals, alleged discriminatory practices, medical neglect (sunburn, tongue injury), and questionable handling of behavioral issues.
K-City is definitely one sketchy daycare. My 18 month old son attended for less than a month. His first two weeks he seemed okay, but then noticed a change, he would throw a fit anytime I would try to drop him off. He started biting other children(so they say, no proof was ever shown) his last week, they made me leave work three days in a row because they said he was biting other children. They didn't ever try to fix the problem, but instead kicked him out.. let's keep in mind that he's only 18 months old. He also came home one night with a huge slit in his tongue.. the teachers did say he bloodied his nose jumping off stuff, but no mention of biting his tongue when I know it had to have bled. I would definitely NOT recommend this Daycare.
If I could give this place zero stars I would. If you have a child who is non Caucasian then exspect to deal with children services. They will try to find anything to make you seem like a bad mom. They have a racist agenda and it's sickening. And they are not trained in the least. Kids get normal bruises and scratches ECT. It's not always neglect. And if they can't tell the difference then why bother being in a place where you're surrounded by kids? I am a good mother and never have a problem outside of daycare. My Dr never seems worried about the health and wellness of my children and neither did previous daycares. It's all because I'm a single mom to black children. They will exaggerate anything to make you seem bad because at the end of the day they don't want you there. It's pathetic and it needs to be adressed.
The staff members work well with the kids while treating them with kindness. The activities are a balance of crafts/gym time and engaging learning opportunities. The daycare is also timely when responding to emails and phone calls.
K City noticed a bruise on my 5-year-old son's face the size of a pea and instead of calling me, they called Children Services first! They didn't even ask me about it. Beware! You won't know until Children Services shows up to your door! UPDATE: Apparently, they interrogated my son and took pictures and God knows what else, all when I wasn't present. I also found out they called FIVE TIMES!!! Once for the bruise, once for my son's behavior (they kept calling me to come get him when he would not follow to the gym or outside, basically rewarded him with getting to go home for not listening - I even let them enlist their own little "specialist" to work on "transitioning" - a bunch of PC B.S. If you take your kids here, they will call you out of work so much, you won't need them) and THREE TIMES saying that my fiancé smelled like alcohol when he picked my son up!!!!! How utterly disgusting! THEY were responsible for my son while he was in their care. If it really was true (which I assure you, after they magically had no room for my son in the afternoon when I went back to work from maternity leave, he was being picked up at 11:30 and my fiancé was on lay-off, not some unemployed drunk), then why did they allow an alleged drunk driver to pick up my kid? NO, they just called CPS and had all these false allegations pinned on our family. I am so utterly disgusted by these despicable women, I would NEVER recommend this facility, not even to watch my DOG. AND I PAID THEM IN CASH OVER $300.00 A WEEK FOR THREE KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THIS IS HOW MY FAMILY WAS TREATED!!!!!!! FIVE DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS MY FAMILY WAS RIPPED APART BY THEIR ALLEGATIONS!!!!!!!!!! FINAL UPDATE: When this finally went to court and I brought out ALL of the incident reports (and there was a dozen over an 8 week span) we found one that was signed by these snakes that stated my son was scratched in the neck by another child there. THIS WAS THE SAME MARK THAT THEY TOLD CHILDREN SERVICES WAS CAUSED BY MY FIANCE CHOKING MY SON. THEY WATCHED MY SON GET HURT IN THEIR CARE AND THEN CALLED CHILDREN SERVICES AND BLAMED IT ON MY FIANCE. THIS PLACE IS THE MOST DISGUSTING ESTABLISHMENT I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH AND I HOPE THEY CLOSE SO THEY CAN NEVER DO THIS TO ANYONE ELSE.
It's funny to me all the people who get mad put false things or lies on here 🤣.
