We started with Kinder Care in 2012 and were coming from a small-town child care center that was very personable. I was hesitant and changed my mind about many of daycares we had selected in our move to San Antonio. On my first visit to Heimer KinderCare, I had such a comfortable feeling about the staff and the setup of the facility. Our first day was a little rough, as my daughter does not do very well with change. But JR and Audrey (the office staff) were very comforting and put up with all my calls, and never once hesitated to get me an update nor did they sound fed up. When my son started at a year old in 2013, I was so excited for him to start his new journey into an actual schedule and an infant-targeted developmental curriculum. Ms. Becky was so comforting and sweet and did everything she could to keep my mind at ease. The amount of love she puts into those children is beyond anything I had ever experienced before. It’s a feeling of comfort that every parent needs and wants knowing they cannot be there every second of every day. To be greeted by name by nearly every staff member even though they have never had either of your children and know so much about both of your children is beyond me. The staff at Kinder Care Heimer has and continues to make me feel calm throughout my work days knowing I can trust all of them and call at any time or drop by at any time to check on my kiddos without hesitation. I can never show them enough gratitude for who they are!

So, unexpected events left me a single dad of a wonderful four-year-old in need of a loving daycare facility. The folks at Heimer KinderCare (Ms. Kim, Ms. Audry, Mr. J.R and all the rest) are very caring, loving people who have helped my baby girl get through some tough times. She is five now and is starting to read on her own...she was looking at a comic book and said "Look, Daddy! This says CRASH!" Thank you!

Let me start by saying that all the staff at the Heimer KinderCare are wonderful, from JR and Audrey at the front desk to all of the teachers. But in particular, I would like to express our eternal gratitude and admiration for Ms. Becky Jimenez. About a year and a half ago, we took our then 12-month-old son to daycare. Frightened to be away from Mom for the first time, he soon loved going to school and seeing his Ms. Becky. All was well in the world as long as his Ms. Becky was there first thing in the morning. While you would expect a class of 10 one- to- two-year-olds to be quite the ruckus, Ms. Becky's calm demeanor and obvious joy in teaching toddlers creates a wonderful atmosphere in which kids -- both shy and outgoing -- thrive, learn, and improve by leaps and bounds. While diaper changes at home may be wiggle-fest-galore, kids lay still for Ms. Becky. While they may not want to sit at the table through the entire meal at home, they all sit around the table for meals and snacks with her. And come craft time, her amazing creative talents shine. Armed with an enormous craft bag she brings from home every day, the kids paint, draw, or do something creative all the time. Come special holidays, the kids come home with the most amazing gifts for Mom and Dad -- many projects that she finishes on her own time at home. We couldn't wait for our daughter to turn 11 months so we could take her to Ms. Becky. While our son was none to happy to share his special teacher, our daughter, too, loved her time with her. I know all parents with kids in her care feel the same and we often collectively count our blessings to have such a wonderful teacher and daycare while we all go around our busy days. When a great job opportunity came our way in Florida, having to change daycare was one of the hardest aspects of the decision to move. Ms. Becky has set an enormously high standard in what we will look for in future teachers. Thank you, Ms. Becky and all the other team members at the Heimer KinderCare, for all you do!
