My son has been in the Infant A room since he was six weeks old and he's now eight months old. The center has the most kindhearted, loving, and patient teachers. They show my son affection often and he has the biggest smile on his face when he sees Ms. Michelle, Ms. Nichole, Ms. Rachel, or Ms. Julia. He loves their attention and snuggles and they've taught him so much. They each engage him in different ways but all clearly love children and love their jobs. I really love that they refer to the kids as "their" babies. Each of the teachers as well as Emilie, the Center Director, and Charity, the Assistant Director, are always happy to talk to me about any concerns or ideas I have, and they share so much about Dominc's day with my husband and I. Each of them knows Dominic personally and remembers his likes and dislikes, celebrates his milestones, and makes us feel important and heard. They take our opinions seriously and are always willing to make accommodations to make us comfortable and happy with the care he's receiving. In short, we absolutely love KinderCare and the Avon center staff! They're fantastic and really deserve some recognition.

When our family first came to KinderCare, we had been fortunate to have an in-home nanny for the first 4 years of my daughter's life. With both parents working, this was such a blessing! Because of this, I was a bit nervous about moving to a childcare center, expecially regarding 1-on-1 time with a teacher/adult. So, prior to enrollment, I took the time to personally visit 3 centers in the Avon area. KinderCare stood out significantly as the best. It was the cleanest, had the most engaged activities and "extras" (like Phonics class), and the teachers were so friendly. Only at KinderCare did the teachers introduce Claire to two other girls in the class so they could play while I spoke with the staff. The teachers remembered both of our names and really made us feel like family! Once enrolled, the teachers gave her attention she needed and helped her to overcome her initial fears of being with so many other kids. Not only did she have more social skills than the other children upon entering Kindergarten, but she was also at a more advanced reading level than many of her classmates. Being at KinderCare helped Claire conquer her fears of larger groups and be able to interact with kids and parents from a variety of ethnicities and family structures. Deciding to enroll Claire at KinderCare has been one of the best decisions that I've made for her! As a summer KinderCare "schoolager," Claire knows all of her classmates from years prior and loves to attend the field trips. She has found an environment in KinderCare that helps her thrive! When our son arrived, our family once again relied on KinderCare. Like any new (or new-again) parent, I was anxious about having an infant in childcare, especially because Claire had only attended as a pre-Kindergarten student. Once again, I visited KinderCare with my son, prior to enrollment. The teachers were gentle and loving with him. When he "officially" enrolled, we knew everything would be all right-the teachers formed such a close bond with the children, even at that young age! As a toddler now, Isaac gets excited for "school" as we drive to KinderCare in the mornings! He knows the routines and likes to show Mom and Dad where his cubby is or how he sits correctly in the chairs. He is happy and healthy! As a family with two working parents, we are so thrilled to have found partners in our children's upbringing! We adore Ms. Emilie and know that she runs a well-oiled machine at KinderCare of Avon! The teachers are top-notch; you will be thrilled you chose KinderCare!
