Parent Reviews
When we were pregnant, we did some rigorous interviewing and touring of daycare facilities, just as you probably are now, so I understand your concerns. We were impressed by staff, the lesson plans, and the philosophy of KinderCare. The location at Columbia is 30 minutes out of our way each day, but we felt it was worth the additional drive time and we have not been disappointed. Our daughter started attending when she was eight weeks old and has been there ever since. The teachers have exceeded our expectations! We have been exceptionally happy with her care and our daughter is excited to go to school every day, so we know she loves it, too! The education is outstanding and the teachers are willing to share with you the lesson plans so you can continue the learning process at home. I strongly recommend you give KinderCare a try. We are expecting our second daughter in the fall and there is nowhere else we would want to take her!
