Our son, now age 17 months, happily awaits going to school each day. When he first started, he was just a year old, a bit shy and still unsteady on his feet. The teachers really went the extra mile to make sure he adjusted well, was comfortable with staff and peers and had the extra care he needed at first. Now when daddy drops him off, he reaches right for his teacher, Ms. Danielle, to give her a big hug, before running off to play. He even cried the one day school was closed! It's clear that he grows every day at school and it's really instilled a lot of confidence in him, which is priceless! As parents who place a high level of importance on combining structured education with open-ended creative play, we believe KinderCare does an excellent job at providing both. KinderCare and its teachers, have done an excellent job at providing age-appropriate activities that are all-encompassing and tailored to where my son is developmentally. We have been very impressed to see that what is presented about the curriculum is true! It is very comprehensive and provides everything from structured learning (our son has learned his shapes, colors, letters, numbers, etc.) to creative indoor/outdoor play (he does a lot of art projects and has learned to dance there!). Also, we have been very pleased with not only what our son is offered for meals and snacks, (a good variety of healthy foods), but also what emphasis is placed on having good table manners. Overall, my husband and I could not be more pleased with the comprehensive, age-appropriate programs and curriculum offered at KinderCare. It is consistent enough to reinforce positive behaviors through routine, yet varied enough to keep the kids entertained and engaged. The teachers and staff have been amazing, and they make the effort to truly know your child. Our best experience has been ...all of what I wrote above! A sincere thank you, as we have found KinderCare to be an invaluable resource for our child's holistic growth. We also love the daily communication sheets, as his teachers take the time to personalize his sheets and to tell us what he learned that day, including any “special achievements." They do a great job at communication!
