Parent Reviews
Jake has learned so much since coming to KinderCare. He has transformed from this quiet 2 year old to a bubbly 4 year old that doesn't stop talking about his school. When I pick him up at night he doesn't want to go home. Once I get him to leave (finally!) our car ride home is filled with stories and adventures from his day. I can't thank you enough for all you have done to make this such a positive experience for Jake.
Where do I begin except a heartfelt thank you for all the love and support you've shown our family over the last five years. Elle's been a KC child since she was six weeks old and is now a "big" kindergarten girl. I so love the fact that her early caregivers and teachers are still at KC so the structure, continuity, and familiar faces have always been a part of her life. I believe that the love, support, and familiar surroundings were a great help to her when she needed it most. Thank you for making her years at KC so special and giving her the extra TLC that she needed.
Almost every day, Taylor will ask me, "Do I have cooking today?". She LOVES going to Cooking Adventures with Ms. Mindy! She tells me every week what they made and how she helped prepare it. It has made her love helping in the kitchen at home even more. The best thing is listening to her describe if she like what they made or not-she tries a little of everything they make! Cooking Adventures is a wonderful opportunity for the kids to work together in a small group setting, and learn valuable skills for later in life.
