Our oldest went to Yakima KinderCare from 3 months old until he started Kindergarten. When we had our youngest we knew we had to bring him there as well. He is still enrolled and will be until he too, goes to school. The teachers and management staff at Yakima KinderCare were and are caring, kind, and helpful. They always go above and beyond to make my children feel safe and happy to and ensure us parents feel confident our kids are being cared for. I get regular updates throughout the day using their app. At pickup the teachers and staff are always eager to share fun stories and highlights of things that happened throughout the day. All staff members (even teachers from other classrooms) greet me and my children by name. But beyond all of that, Yakima KinderCare is more than childcare. It is a place of learning. Even the infants are engaged and taught with thoughtful, fun and age appropriate lesson plans. My oldest was able to jump right in to kindergarten with ease. I credit Yakima KinderCare with his readiness and success in school. It takes a village to raise children and Yakima KinderCare is a huge part of our village.
I currently have a son who is about to age out of KinderCare, and a daughter who is just beginning to attend. I am forever grateful that my son’s first experience in a school like setting was in Ms. Karissa’s classroom. I would get pictures and videos everyday, and you could just see how happy he was to be there everyday. He is now in Mr. Toni’s classroom preparing to graduate and go to kindergarten, and we will be very sad to move on. Mr. Toni has ensured he has the skills necessary to thrive in kindergarten, and has kept us informed every step of the way. He has worked with us to create an individualized approach to my son’s specific needs and personality. My daughter has been in the program for a few months now and is always happy to see her teachers at drop off. Ms. Lucia is always warm and welcoming, and keeps us well informed of her progress. She comes home working on new skills every day, and looks like she is having an amazing time in her photos. I cannot say enough good things about the facility and staff. We are lucky to have found them.
We absolutely love Yakima KinderCare! The staff is so caring and attentive. I get regular updates about my son throughout the day—when he eats, how much he eats, when he naps, even when he goes to the bathroom. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such a nurturing and communicative environment. The teachers are so kind and thoughtful, and you can tell they really care about the kids. I’m so thankful for the team here and all they do! They also send me pictures of him throughout the day and I love it!!
Our son has been at KinderCare since he turned 1, and now our infant attends as well. We couldn’t be more thankful for the loving care both of our children receive. The teachers are incredible. For our 5 year old, Mr. Toni, Mr. Gil, and Ms. Ariana have been amazing. They are always engaging the kids in fun and educational activities. Our infant is in wonderful hands with Ms. Lucia, Ms. Brooke, and Ms. Clarissa, who are so gentle, attentive, and caring. We also love the daily reports with photos, meal updates, and activity summaries. It gives us great peace of mind knowing how their day went and what they experienced. Our older son is thriving and more than ready for kindergarten, thanks to the strong foundation KinderCare has provided.
I just want to say the daycare is amazing they have taken care of my girls for 3 years we came from the tri cities and they tremendously helped me ease my youngest into the daycare setting at 6 months and my oldest was 4 when she began attending this location. They treat you like family as well and advocate for the children during times of needs. I’ve never trust a daycare the way I trust Kindercare the directors as well are very understanding and are amazing at assisting with the children transition from pre K to a school setting. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a daycare/preschool we will definitely miss our Kindercare family as I know my children will miss them too! We are hoping we can return at some point I wish we didn’t have to transfer but we will miss you guys!
