Our two children started at Northeast KinderCare in Lincoln, NE shortly after a move from out-of-state. While we have had a great experience overall at the center, Ms. Teresa in the prekindergarten room is amazing! Our son is a different kid since being in her classroom. He is happy and confident. He has made huge strides in his verbal skills and his ability to write letters and draw discernible pictures. He talks with enthusiasm about the things he does at school and about the friends he has made. He even declined a "skip day" to go to the children's museum with Grandma who was visiting from Texas because he wanted to go to school. Ms. Teresa empowers the children and loves them for who they are and where they are in their own development.

Our two children, now five and three, started at KinderCare as infants. As the time progressed there, it became evident that this was so much more than a daycare. Through KinderCare, our children have been exposed to social skills, structure, creativity, compassion, and the foundations of learning. They even got to take a cooking class and partake in swimming lessons! I am convinced that KinderCare has been instrumental in my five-year-old's smooth transition to kindergarten. Above all, Bernie and her staff have given us the gift of trust. We cannot thank them enough!

Thank you, Northeast KinderCare! At a most difficult time for my four-year-old son, in the middle of a custody case, he had great separation anxiety, especially with drop-offs at preschool. KinderCare provided a safe environment where I felt good about where my son would be during his time in preschool, with a keypad entry system, clean and very well-equipped classrooms, great meals, and great staff/teachers, who helped tremendously with transitioning my four-year-old to feeling okay about being dropped off at preschool. He made a special bond with his teacher, who went over and above to help him each morning at drop-offs, quickly engaging him so I could get to work without him having a huge meltdown. He made friends with other children in his class, as well as the other staff at KinderCare, who all make the effort to know the kids' names. When the regular school year ended for public schools, KinderCare provided a summer program to continue regular preschool attendance, which was amazing to keep my son accustomed to being dropped off at school. It was a long process to where he finally does great when it's time for school, so it would not have been good to then have three months off for school holidays, so the KinderCare summer program kept him going through the summer months with many great activities and field trips, leading up to transitioning to kindergarten in public school. I have three children, with my four-year-old being the youngest, so I was amazed at how many drawing projects the kids do, giving us a great little pile of art projects to put in a school book in comparison to public preschool, which my two older children attended. KinderCare provided a great preschool program, which I feel has given my four-year-old a great head start on his school years. He has mastered all of the fundamentals that my two older children learned at public preschool. However, I felt that my four-year-old had it the best by attending KinderCare and he came to like going to school, even on days when it was optional through summer holidays, and my four-year-old and I would often say he has "the best school ever!" Thank you, KinderCare, for making preschool a great experience for my son.
