Parent Reviews
When my daughter was born I originally put her in a different daycare. Due to some serious health concerns I pulled her out and put her in a different one. This one didn't last long either as they told me my daughter is above average when it comes to learning and the other kids cannot keep up with her. Unfortunately, KinderCare did not come into my life until my daughter was 3 years old. I wish I had found them sooner. My daughter is excited to go to school every day and tell me about her day when she comes home. The reading phonics program has been amazing and my daughter (now 5) is excited to be reading books all by herself.I also cannot say enough about Miss Mandy the director. My daughter and her daughter seem to be the best of friends and Miss Mandy takes all my concerns very seriously. All the teachers there have been amazing and very easy to talk to. I love KinderCare and would recommend them to anyone who asks!
My husband and I enrolled our daughter Nora at KinderCare in January and have continued to be impressed with the professionalism of the staff and the level of care our daughter receives. The time I have spent in the building gives me the impression that the staff members genuinely like one another and enjoy their jobs, and this creates a cheerful atmosphere that Nora and I both appreciate.
via KinderCare.comI feel like there aren't enough males in the field already and they are just as valuable. So, it is noticeable. I have to apologize for thinking that there was a security threat at one time because I saw a male teacher trying to get into the back gate (I didn't know he was a teacher at that time. Also, thank you for hiring competent individuals from more than one culture. I feel very strongly that our children should grow and be around several cultures so they can learn to appreciate everyone from the beginning. We live in a world where so many are at war over race, religion and power struggles between the classes and I bet if they had grown up around and learned to appreciate those from all walks of life, that we'd live in a much better world. I hope that there are opportunities for staff from different cultures share their own cultures with our children. I for one, would love Brooklynn to be exposed to everyone of your staff member's culture, whether it be through the food/desserts, language, clothing and/or holiday traditions.
