Kindercare Learning Ctrs-S 61st St

My daughter has attended this day care for the last 3 years, starting in the infant room. I will admit that when we were looking for day cares options were limited as everyone had waitlists, but we were pleased with what we saw on our tour and felt comfortable leaving her in their care. Over the years there was a period of struggles with short staff and frequent staff turn over, but it seems to have been stable for awhile now. We have been lucky with really caring and wonderful teachers in each room and have never felt like our daughter wasn't attended to. The most recent director and her assistants have shown a lot of effort to make a positive change in the center over the last year. I can say that our experience with this center has been a good one and as our daughter approaches school age and we're exploring the new options, we will miss her teachers.

Ms Addie the director is wonderful, my child 2yrs old attended here for about 2 months before we found a daycare closer. i noticed in just a short time how she was coming home telling me about what she leaned with ms haley. the facility is clean and the teachers are great with uploading photos of the kids day what they did. i have to thank them as well for how quickly they took on my child. i came in to view and they took us the following week. thank you Ms Addie!

When I called about bringing my children there I spoke with Janella and she was so great! She was incredibly helpful, nice, and very informative. She made the conversation so easy and made me feel so comfortable. She answered every question I had with confidence which put my mind at ease about this daycare. Since there aren't any in person tours allowed right now she gave me options on how to see the center. She really made a difficult situation very easy going and comfortable. If everyone in that center is as great as her I will have no problem bringing my kiddos there.

I had 3 children in this daycare but it dropped down to 1 when they told me they were dropping the bussing program to my older 2 boys school. I kept my daughter in there because I loved her teachers and they treated her like she was one of their own children. Now I find out a week before school starts that they are no longer taking drop in kids (ones who only come on school off days). They could have told me the beginning of summer so my 4 yr old daughter didn’t have to adjust to big kid school AND a new daycare for only random off days. The director’s solution was to send her to the champions program which she had no information on and come to find out the closest one is about a 20 minute drive from my house then another 30 minutes to get to work. How is that a situation? The respect and common curtesy is lacking at this facility. I was highly recommending this place until the new director started and it all went downhill. Please if you have kids there remove them and find a better facility!! (Gave 2 stars because some of the teachers are absolutely amazing but highly underpaid!)

My baby went here for almost 6 months I really loved her teachers, everybody was really friendly & I loved being able to use their app to see what she’s up to throughout the day. Sometimes the responses took a bit long but overall I loved this facility & all of the staff.
