I currently have a School Age child in the Buena Park KinderCare. I have nothing but great, awesome, positive things to say about this center. Being an educator and a mother I am very overprotective and picky in the individuals who I can trust to take care of my eight-year-old son. I'm also a former Assistant Director from the South Street KinderCare. So I know the company well and have been working with children from the age of 0-14. So I am a very hard person to please. I know exactly what I'm looking for in a daycare provider. The Buena Park staff has been awesome to my son and I. From the teaching staff to the Assistant Director, Deanna, to the Director, Beatrice, they have been there for my son and I. I can honestly say that this place is my son's second home. All of the employees care and want the best for all the children. Being a single mom and having a full time job I feel the support and confidence in the staff taking care of my child. I could go on and on. I just wanted to take some time out of my busy schedule to let you know what a great job all these individuals are doing.

KinderCare is #1!! My family and I love KinderCare! The staff is very loving and dedicated. They treat each child as if they were their own. Catering to the individual needs of each student. My children are nine and two. I like that KinderCare keeps my children in age appropriate classrooms. So that the learning experience is unique to each one. The staff also takes input as to the activities my older one is interested in. They really listen, which makes the learning more enjoyable for my daughter. We Love KinderCare!!

How do I love Kindercare? Let me count the ways… At KinderCare Buena Park, both children and parents have a sense of community. Children different ages have meals together so they can learn from each other, “chat,” make friends, and share experiences. This way they are aware of the big events in their little friends’ lives. My toddler daughter has friends both in and out of her age group! Several times a year, children have parties to celebrate different themes together (Christmas, Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s Day, etc.). For such celebrations, parents contribute, on a voluntary basis, goodies and/or desserts for children to share. Everybody has fun during the celebrations! Every person who works at the Buena Park center cares about my daughter’s well-being and development. Most teachers have been with KinderCare for several years. This means that your child sees familiar faces throughout the year(s) she’s here. Even when she transitions to a new age group, chances are your child is already familiar with the “new” teacher. Our center director, Mrs. Cindy Silva, has a “hands-on” approach to work, which makes her effective both with kids and parents. She is committed to keeping the daycare service second to none all throughout the year, and so is her staff. How do I know how my kid is doing? On a daily basis, I get a report with information on meals, diaper changes and activities during her day. If your child is not behaving properly, you’ll also hear about it! The learning topics your child is working on are communicated on the bulletin boards and updated regularly. This way, parents can reinforce such topics at home (if desired) so that the child’s learning process is expanded and accelerated. Three times a year, there is a 15-minute parent-teacher conference during which the primary caregiver discusses with parents the developmental milestones of each child, as well as her behavioral process. Most teachers know my toddler well and have provided to us useful feedback as to how can we support her social development! Indeed, “every day is a learning adventure” at KinderCare. Babies, toddlers and young kids learn by exploring and doing. Most experiences they go through are useful both at the cognitive and emotional level. During the summer, there are “out of the ordinary” activities that children enjoy. I remember my toddler having fun last summer when splashing other children on a Friday Splash Day! And if your child has an artistic mind, this is definitely the place for your little one to paint like a Picasso! Her work will be exhibited on the walls of classrooms and aisles. In a nutshell, I know that my child enjoys her learning experience at KinderCare!
