Kindercare #659

My experience with this location was not great. I called to inquire on openings, had to call multiple times just to get a tour scheduled. The day of the tour I was given an interest form to fill out by Clare, the director. I filled it out and sent it back the same day. It has been weeks since then. Every time I called to check in, Clare apologized stating there were call outs and she had been busy but would be getting me more info soon. Understandable, I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and continued to be patient. Last phone call with Clare was one week ago, where she apologized again and stated I should receive something from her by the end of the day. I still have received nothing, and have decided to explore other options. I understand being busy, but this whole experience was downright unprofessional.

This center and it's staff have been a part of my family for a little over 4 years. I came here desperate with an infant and toddler. I had to abruptly remove my children from another center and was overwhelmed with the thought of a 2 year old transitioning in a new environment. Ms. Patrician and Ms. Elizabeth were so warm and welcoming. I felt at ease from the first meeting. Fast forward my kids are still there happy and thriving. The teachers here know my children and their little personalities Ms. Patricia works hard to make sure she hires teachers who are committed to working with children and preparing them for real life scenarios. We work as a team to ensure whatever comes up or challenges they are having that we are on the same page. With this pandemic this center remained open to help essential workers continue to work! They have been accommodating and understanding while putting themselves at risk. I am and will forever be grateful to this center and all of the staff.

This KinderCare has been amazing for both my sons. Patricia and Elizabeth are wonderful and warm directors who make sure that the children are taken care of. The teachers are always great with the kids. They even did an amazing job handling my sons food allergies.

We moved here from Arizona in 2019. I was very hesitant on bringing my son here as we are both are very attached to one another. I will be honest it was very hard not only from him but myself, we struggled. I knew that he needed to be around other kiddos his age since we basically did not know anyone in WA. Let me tell you everyone at this KinderCare location has been amazing. Since having a tough start they never once gave up on him and he now drop offs are amazing for the both of us and he enjoys going everything single day. The most important thing I would have to say is ALL staff cares about all the kiddos that come here, I can see it everyday. Especially, with the pandemic my son has not been sick once since March so I think they are doing a fantastic job, but they always have amazing communication with us now more then ever. :) Best decision my family has made for my son !

We absolutely love this center! Ms. Patricia and her excellent team are the only individuals outside the family we trust to take care of our kiddo. The center is clean, organized, and professional. They have such a wide variety of activities for the kids: social skills learning, outdoor play, STEM, phonics, cooking, and more. Our son has ASD and as a result finding an environment he is comfortable in is often challenging, but he knows and loves everyone at the center and is always coming home with exciting stories. We have never found such a perfect fit for him at any other daycare! The community here is like family. Thanks, Renton II KinderCare! :-)
