My child has been going here for 4 years, since she was 4 months old. We love this place! Every classroom she's been in has been wonderful, and the teachers are very knowledgeable. I appreciate the daily updates and photos, and the art projects they do with the kids are so cute (we have a collection of special holiday crafts that we'll keep forever). I know my child is loved and cared for here. She's starting kindergarten in the fall, and honestly I'm a little sad she won't be seeing her favorite teachers every day. Thank you Panther Lake for everything!
The enrollment process has been very smooth and efficient. Thank you to the daycare team at the panther lake location. I was referred to this Kindercare by a friend who’s son has gone to this location for years and the whole team is very friendly and patient to our little ones. So thank you.
My son is 2 and has been attending this daycare since he was 6 months old. This is the center director, Sara, dressed as a unicorn this morning when I dropped my kiddo off. This center has embraced my little family and has made us feel comfortable, loved and welcomed. Sara goes above and beyond for the kids and treats everyone with such kindness and respect. I am never worried about the type of treatment my son will receive, I never wonder if he is eating, or being changed on time, because I know all of the staff and I trust every single one of them. I will never regret enrolling my son in Panther Lake Kindercare. I am a real person, this is not a bot and I was not instructed to write this review. I am doing it because Sara and the Panther Lake family deserve some positive recognition.
My child has attended here for almost a year now and I cannot express how happy I am with the quality of care the amazing staff has shown our family. We suddenly needed full time childcare and we were able to get our child enrolled quickly and smoothly. I feel like the staff here have helped so much with the development and overall happiness of my child. Not only has the staff been taking amazing care of my child, they also help us deeply when we first started. Entering daycare for the first time can be a scary experience for the parents as well, they supported us and reassured us so much through the process that they made us feel comfortable and safe there. They showed my daughter so much love and attention during her first few weeks and adjusting to daycare, it honestly made the process easier on our family. I’m extremely thankful. The staff have always shown nothing but love, care, and excitement for my child. My child has food allergies and other needs that have been easily accommodated, such as needing speech therapy. Being able to coordinate her sessions during work hours was such a relief that gives us the opportunity for more family time outside of school! Aside from my personal experience here, some of what they do that I enjoy as a parent: -each month is a new theme that they have, they teach different things depending on the months theme, monthly news letters give transparency on what the students are learning about, fun activities, and spirit days! -scheduled activities, daily routines posted in class so you can see what your child does throughout the day. -companion app (love this) that you can easily communicate with staff. Not only that, but the staff communicates with you. They will tell you what you child had to eat, about diaper changes, when/how long they napped, and my personal favorite, they share photos, videos, and blurbs about what your child is doing while in their care. You can even add other family members so they can see just photos and videos, or everything if you want! -In house made balanced meals, my child has tried so many new foods thanks to Kindercare -attentive staff. Teachers who aren’t even my child’s teacher know her name, will say hello to her, it’s amazing -VERY GENEROUS grace period for payment. I know child is always in good hands, I know she is being fed nutritious and balanced meals, I never have to worry. I know my child is safe, happy, smiling, having fun, but also learning! She comes home with new skills and shows us, and it’s all thanks to the caring and loving staff. If you are looking for childcare, I would highly recommend this place. As a mother, my daughter is my world. I can say I feel good about leaving my world in the kind hands of Kindercare.
I am more than pleased with this daycare. They go above and beyond to provide finest care for your child. I have experienced other daycares for my kids and by far this is the best. The center director, teachers and their whole staff is kind and polite. They love kids. There are several fun activities, science experiments, math teachings etc etc going on based on appropriate class age. I am happy to have both my kids here. My little one started in an infant class and we had a smooth transition. The teachers guided us through and gave confidence in our child's progress. They are prompt in answering your questions and listen to you carefully. There's a lot to say but I'll stop here and highly recommend this day care for your child.
