My second Kidco kid just graduated from the preschool the other night and I can't say enough great things about them. The teachers and administrators have loved my kids from 15 months to 8 years old. From daycare, to preschool and summer camp they have been my village who I could count on through covid, days off from school, last minute requests and everything in between. They are endlessly patient and loving with kids and parents and have fully prepared both my kids for kindergarten and beyond. Some of my kids teachers have been there for over a decade and have taught me so much and helped me raise my kids. The field trips, special events, summer activities, and sports that they include in their curriculum make it so fun for the kids to attend every day. I'm always in awe of the presents they make for moms and dads, and the consistent communication on everything they are learning. I sat there watching the elaborate graduation ceremony they tirelessly put on every year for the preschool families and I feel so lucky that I picked them 8 years ago. I could go on and on and on about how much I love Kidco and would reccomend to any family who needs a loving, reliable second home for their kids.
I had my daughter at the height of the pandemic and was nervous about our plans to send her in to daycare. That being said Kidco followed all the CDC guidelines and was always, always clean. Ok, besides follow the standards and keeping our children safe. I want to share why I picked Kidco. At our tour we saw a group of preschoolers walking down the stairs all excited, all happy, and sharing their excitement that they were going to the “gym”. Then we met Maria who was professional, organized, and you could tell loved her job. We saw 5 other programs and were completely blown away by Kidco. Fast forward, my daughter has been going to Kidco for the better part of a year and every day I am happy with my choice! She’s excited to go in and see her teachers and is always being engaged with when I pick her up (I caught her and the teacher dancing this week, it was precious). The teachers are professional and honest with me. They care and are creative with sensory activities for the little ones. I always get compliments about my daughters level of development and I can thank the hard work at Kidco. I highly recommend them to new parents and those looking for an awesome program.
My son has been going to Kidco since he was six month old. We have been there for three years and have loved his experience from when he was an infant to the preschool program now. He has always been very well taken care of and we trust the teachers here. The teachers have always been helpful in times of transition, especially since he spent summers home with me and had to transition back in the fall. The preschool is NAEYC accredited and has a wonderful curriculum which includes field trips. We are very happy we chose this center/preschool!! My son is happy here and that is very important for us.
We enrolled our son at Kidco for daycare 3 years ago. He is now in their preschool program and still loving it! From the moment we took the tour of the facilities, we were impressed. The Director Maria is not only extremely approachable, friendly and professional, but she somehow knows every single child's name! We waited a little long to put our son in daycare but were immediately comfortable with his infant room teachers. They gave us the invaluable gift of putting him on a schedule which was a daunting task for us as new parents. We have LOVED every teacher he has had as he's grown through the program. We are continually impressed with the organization of the entire Kidco program and the wonderful staff and are excited to trust them with caring for our next little boy when he is ready for daycare.
Both of my daughters have gone to Kidco over the past 6 years, with the youngest one soon to be graduating from Pre-k in 2013. The teachers are very dedicated and attentive to the children, and you can tell that they really love their job. Kidco has 2 buildings, one for infants, toddlers and school age (after school), and the other building is a pre-school for 3 and 4 year olds. Both buildings are beautifully decorated and secure, and the rooms are very clean and organized. They also have secure play areas for the kids outside. My children hardly ever got sick due to germs in the classrooms, unlike other daycares that we had tried before discovering Kidco. One experience with another daycare showed that it had a high turnover of young staff, but I have never found this to be the case at Kidco. The staff appear to be carefully selected and most of them stay employed with Kidco for years. I would highly recommend Kidco for your childcare needs.
