We love KinderCare! Being a first time mom, I wasn't sure what kind of daycare I should enroll my child into. But I'm so glad we chose KinderCare. They have amazing teachers who really care about your child(ren). My son has learned so much in his years here and I can't thank his past and present teachers enough! Plus you get updates in their app about your child(ren) which I love so I can see what my son is doing all day. My son has loved going to daycare here and is excited to see his friends and teachers! Lastly, our acting Center Director Myra is amazing! She makes sure your child is heard and cares for them as her own!
I became a new mom again at 45. I did not use any centers when raising kids in my early teen and twenties. I tried and never felt like they were for me. However with this new little one I needed childcare. I called 6 different places, starting from the closest to my house. No one had openings. April had one space that had just opened up when I called and so I took it. Little did I know that I would be sending my son to the best daycare center I have ever known. My son is thriving! He has little friends he is excited to see each day. We pull into the parking lot and the smile on his face as he comes out of his car seat is amazing!! The ladies who play and teach him daily are so loving a kind, the cook is amazing the food is so delicious. My son in the past 4 months has learned new noises and tries to have conversations with me, I know he is learning this at school. When I tell people about his day care I am told it is one of a kind as most centers are not this good. I am so thankful he is here.
Good afternoon KinderCare staff. When I arrived to the center this morning to drop my child off, the level of neglect being conducted this morning was appalling. I understand that small children can be a handful, and also quite stressful at times. Since enrolling my daughter into this center, o have witnessed several concerning events that I will list below: - [ ] On Monday I arrived at 1pm for pick up, while walking thru the classroom that is directly to the right when entering the facility I witnessed a [male staff member] snatch a blanket from a child during quiet time. - [ ] I sent **** with a change of clothes and a blanket with her name written on it. When I picked her up Tuesday she was wrapped in an unknown blanket. I also sent her with a water bottle which cannot be located in her cubby. - [ ] This morning 10/23 when I arrived, **** was a little clingy this morning, and stated she didn’t want to stay. So I stayed around for about 10 minutes, I’m an attempt to make her comfortable enough to interact. In this short amount of time being there I witnessed small children climbing up onto tables. I noticed all or most of the children huddled near the window assuming it was circle time activities. Instead they were watching an iPad propped up on the window sill. Unfortunately, this facility does not meet the needs of my child, and she will not be returning.
I love the facility! I have taken my niece to other daycare, but April the director met us outside and walked us through. I'm super protective of my precious little angel. But April and the other teachers really took her under their wing. Honestly, I felt like I was leaving her with family. I highly recommend them.
I love this Kindercare. Placing my children in care has always been so scary. We recently moved to the Cottage Grove area and chose this center. Our infant has been so lucky to be in Ms Barbs room. Our toddler is with Ms Becky who is amazing. The former director, Chelsa helped us to feel comfortable when looking for a place. They now have a new director, Holly, who has been so warm and welcoming to us and is always available. Our change and transition was hard for our family, but the amazing teachers and great leadership has certainly helped us to never worry about either of our children. Thank you KinderCare, I couldn’t ask for a better partner in raising my 2 babies.
