Parent Reviews
Pam is a wonderful teacher for our five-month-old little angel, but she is not just her teacher, she's part of the family. Pam has been her teacher since she was three months old. Pam loves all the little ones under her care and she shows it. Pam loves to watch our little one develop and grow and gets as excited about reached milestones as we do. Pam also is very engaged with the babies doing art work, playing, and getting them to laugh and smile. One thing that I really love about Pam is that even with all the demands of caring for several babies she is always on top of everyone's schedule and knows their needs almost before they do. I never have to worry when Pam is in command. I know my baby will be loved and promptly cared for. Recently, we switched from disposable diapers to cloth diapers and Pam has made that a smooth transition which was a pleasant surprise. My favorite part of my day is talking to Pam at drop off and pickup because that is when I get to hear all about my daughter's day. I love to hear what shes been up to and informed of any concerns as well so I can be as up to date as possible to care for her when I get home. I can't say enough good things about Pam.
As a new first-time mom, finding a place that would love and nurture my infant was very important to me. I was looking for the perfect fit for daycare and I found them all at the KinderCare on Wellington. I love the communication I have with the staff and administration. I really appreciate the care and compassion that Ms. Dotson, the center director, and the fellow teachers (Sara, Pam, Carolyn, Tanya, and Kim) share for each child. I feel my daughter is safe, loved, and is provided the best environment for her development. Her wonderful teachers helped me so much with transitioning as a stay-at-home mom to a full-time working one. They helped me put my daughter on a schedule, which was such a big help at home. I love seeing the daily changes in the way my little one interacts with her teachers and fellow children. She has become so much more independent through this positive and nurturing environment. I am so happy here and am so thankful for all of them.
I don't typically do things like this, but I wanted to give a special shout out to the center director at Wellington KinderCare and the rest of the staff. Ms. Pam is a delight and is always welcoming when we walk through the door. She is always there to answer any questions or concerns we may have. For example, a recent billing issue was cleared up right away due to her diligence.Our son has been in a KinderCare center since he was six weeks old. He is now two and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend our center to anyone with a child needing daytime care. Our son's classroom is always clean and well kept and the instructors are always thrilled to see him. Ms. Kim, Ms. Katie, and Ms. Sandy were great teachers to have for his first two years and so far we like his toddler and preschool teachers just as much. Sometimes I think he enjoys going to "school" more than he likes being at home.
