Parent Reviews
Candlewood KinderCare has truly been a remarkable experience for our family. It stands out as one of the best childcare centers I’ve encountered, especially for my 3-year-old daughter. Since she started attending, I’ve seen significant growth in her communication skills and social behavior. The improvement in her manners and confidence has been heartwarming to witness. The center offers a wonderful blend of fun and educational activities that keep her engaged and excited to learn. What I appreciate most, though, is the strong emphasis on safety and the sense of trust the staff builds with families. As a parent, knowing that my child is in a secure, nurturing environment means everything. The faculty at Candlewood KinderCare are exceptional. The director is always approachable, genuinely listens to parents' concerns, and fosters a positive, open atmosphere. Special thanks to Mr. Taylor and Miss Lisa—both have played a vital role in my daughter’s development, offering patience, encouragement, and thoughtful guidance. Because of the trust and care this center has earned, I plan to enroll my second daughter here as well. I’m confident she will thrive just as her sister has. Thank you to the entire Candlewood KinderCare team for your dedication and the outstanding work you do every day.
My experience with Candlewood KinderCare has been wonderful. My three oldest children attended one summer while I was expecting my fourth child. I immediately noticed the cleanliness of the facility, which is huge for me and the whole “daycare” experience. The other wonderful thing was the education the faculty has to have to work with the children that attend. I feel anyone who works with children needs to be trained to do so. These factors contributed to my decision to place my new baby in the care of the Candlewood KinderCare. The acting Director at the time was fantastic. She was understanding and knowledgeable about everything concerning daycare. She actually cared about the family as a whole. She made the facility very “homey.” I was afraid things would change dramatically with the new Director as far as how clean and accommodating the faculty was. I’m thrilled to my ears that things haven’t changed; they have, in fact, exceeded all my expectation. Deborah Clute is doing a fantastic job!
After an exhaustive search for the best learning center for our kids three years ago, we discovered Candlewood KinderCare. Three years later, we couldn't imagine a better place for our kids. The staff is very professional and maintains a core group of teachers who have remained there since we started. Our children look forward to each and every day at "school." The best compliment we can pay Candlewood KinderCare is that we don't worry about our kids when they are there. We know they are in a safe, kid-friendly learning environment that fosters imagination and self-confidence.
Making a choice around your child’s care is a very stressful and difficult decision to make! However, my husband and I feel so fortunate to have found a daycare like Candlewood KinderCare to bring us peace of mind. While I cannot wait to pick up my sweet girl at the end of each day, it helps knowing she enjoys her time here and the affection she has for the staff. It warms my heart seeing the staff’s interactions with her and I cannot rave enough about how genuine they are! The staff is extremely friendly and updates me on what progress our daughter is making or silly things she did throughout the day. It definitely feels like a team effort (strong parent/teacher communication). I cannot stress enough how much it means to find a center that is clean and organized. We actually had our daughter enrolled in a different center prior to Candlewood KinderCare. After about a month, my gut was telling me something wasn’t right. Cleanliness and organization were the primary reasons we left the other center and Candlewood KinderCare is leaps and bounds ahead in these areas. I would absolutely recommend Candlewood KinderCare to any family seeking care for their children. The staff and facility continue to find ways to improve and impress me.
