Kareer Kids Cdc

My daughter has been going for a few weeks now. They seem alright so far. Thier pricing for childcare is fair so no issue with that. The only thing I don't like about this place is their parking lot. This Jacksonville location of their's (I don't know about others) has A LOT of potholes and some of them are pretty big. They seriously need to attend to this and fix thier lot. Even if they fix them the cheapest way possible. An ugly-looking but fixed up lot is better than one with a bunch of potholes. If you're reading this... please fix your parking lot!

Fantastic facility! My youngest son has been there since he was a newborn, he's two now. I have never seen a daycare as clean as Kareer Kids, I see them constantly wiping down windows, play areas, etc. The staff over there is amazing as well, any negative reviews on them I would suspect resulted from a parent/guardian not getting their own way and blaming others for their problems. Give them a try, you wont be disappointed!

Unfortunately my 11 week old was not attended to very well. He only spent one week at the facility but 4 out of the 5 days we picked him up he was crying. The 5th day was my breaking point as my baby was hysterically crying, I could hear him from the moment I walked in the front door. When I got to him he was drenched in sweat and the care taker (there was only one person in the room at the time) was putting another baby in a swing. This day was the first time my baby had ever cried actual running tears, I'm sure he had been screaming crying for over 15 minutes at the very least as there were beads of sweat and tears running down his face and his back was drenched as well. I decided that I couldn't leave him in their care any longer as I felt he was neglected. Because I had only had him there for one week I asked for a refund of the following week of care but I was denied a refund. I understand that there is a company policy of a two week notice but there is no way I could allow my child to be in a daycare that allows him to cry to the point of being inconsolable. I explained our situation as a military family and soon to be a one income family if they could please make an exception for these circumstances and they did not. I would not recommend this daycare for any infants, the only time they have face to face time with a caretaker is when they are being fed and burped, other than that they are corralled in and out of swings, bouncers and their cribs. The state has mandated a 1:5 ratio but kareer kids was grandfathered in to have a 1:6 ratio, the care takers are clearly overwhelmed.

We had to report this daycare to DHS for an investigation. They have food to an infant before asking for signed permission and threw away an expensive medical pacifier after being specifically told not to use another one. The director herself admitted that she got online and ordered a cheap new pacifier and agreed with the class teacher that they would use it against medical advice and direct instructions NOT to use anything other than the medical device that was provided. We did not return to this daycare and submitted them for neglect and abuse to DHS.

I loved this place! All three of my girls attended until we PCSd. Mrs K and Mrs Whitney are concerned and caring individuals who truly want what’s best for the children. Their infant room staff has been working with babies for over 20 years. I was sad to leave this facility but don’t worry about the staff. Mrs K doesn’t tolerate silliness or unprofessionalism from her staff! My kids cry often wanting to go back to “their” school. If your unsure - tour the facility right outside the front gate. You won’t be disappointed.
