Parent Reviews
The Fountain Valley KinderCare is such a wonderful daycare. The Director, Assistant Director and teachers are great, the programs and curriculum are amazing and the facility is really clean. The Directors and teachers are caring, nurturing, and warm. There’s constant communication between the teachers and parents. When my child had issues, not only did they inform us, but they also worked with us to help our child. The Director or Assistant Director is always available until closing if you ever need any advice or to address any issues or concerns. The teachers are always interacting with the children instead of just sitting around watching them. Besides their great curriculum they also offer phonics, math, reading and Spanish as part of their enrichment programs. My child has learned so much from the phonics programs that it’s unbelievable. Lastly, this center makes you feel like it’s your second home. The exterior and interior are well maintained. You will not see any marks on their white doors and trash cans. The playground is free from debris. As you step into this center, you'll feel the warmth of the nice decor and see pictures of all the children around the center. Another plus is that they provide nutritional and generous portions of breakfast, lunch and snacks. The children here sleep on cots during nap time instead of those thin flimsy mats. Since we had to move, we assumed all day cares were comparable to the Fountain Valley location. The answer is No. Unfortunately, not all KinderCare's and other day cares are even comparable to the quality of this location. Fountain Valley KinderCare should definitely be a role model to all the daycare facilities.
I want to thank KinderCare for an amazing 30. This team truly loves the kids. Because of them my child is ready for Kindergarten. As a first time new parent the thought of putting my child in school was so scary. They walked me through the whole transition and never left my side. They are approachable and always available. The facility is clean and they offer so many extra programs for learning. 100% happy and sad to go. However we will be back for winter break, spring break, summer break and for a visit whenever we are in the area! Thank you Heather and your team!
Our son started attending this daycare at nine-months-old. we went to over 25 daycares in the Fountain Valley and Irvine Areas. When we walked inside Fountain Valley KinderCare, we knew right away that this was the perfect place for us. From the moment the director welcomed us to the spacious classrooms, to the cleanliness of the place, I knew my son would be in a great place. I was currently still breastfeeding, so they helped me switch my son over to using a bottle. Our son was very attached to me, so it was hard for him to eat without me. However, the teachers where very patient and loving. Within a couple of weeks is was eager to get to school. I am extremely grateful to have found this daycare! The instant we move back to Orange County, we are going back to Fountain Valley KinderCare.
