Parent Reviews
The West Oswego KinderCare is such a wonderful extension of our family! Our two daughters (age 2 and age 4) are just blossoming there. The entire staff is so caring and dedicated. Their facility is clean, organized and provides a lot of social and learning opportunities for all of the children's ages. My 4 year old has a song that she sings when she arrives at KinderCare. It's called the "I love my school" song. It's a wonderful feeling having the trust and strong relationships with the staff at the West Oswego KinderCare. I know that our daughters truly are taken care of during the day!
I have three children, ages 7, 5 and 15 months. My children have been attending KinderCare since the summer, and each of them have loved coming everyday! My older son was in the School-Age room full-day this summer and is currently attending before and after school. He loved the summer field-trips and enjoys the projects Miss Shanta sets up in the classroom after school. My middle son is in the Preschool classroom. He loves all of the activities Ms. Michelle does to keep him busy! My daughter started in the Infant room and just transitioned to the Toddler room. Having never been in daycare before, I thought it would have taken my daughter longer to adjust, but she became attached to Ms. Ginny and Ms. Tammy very quickly. All of the staff at KinderCare has been wonderful to work with. Everyone has taken a sincere interest in my children, which puts me at ease while I am at work.
Our son started at the South Oswego KinderCare back in April of 2013. We were new to the area and when we contacted Kim (the director), she as well as the entire staff welcomed us with open arms. The director sat down with us and provided pertinent information about the center as well as answering all of our questions, she did everything she could to assist in making the transition smoother for us. Since the time our son began at the center, we have witnessed his development grow in leaps and bounds. Our son has been in previous daycare and this center definitely is heads above the rest because everyone is very hands on (the director, our sons teachers and the entire staff). One of the best things about this center is that they are big on communication, which is so important to parents. I cannot emphasize how much this makes a difference to me as a parent, because it is so easy to get caught up in schedules and routines. It is refreshing to know that the staff will not hesitate to give me a thorough update on how my child's day went. They also take the time out to email us pictures of our son while he is in the midst of a learning or play activity (this is the only daycare center I have ever had that did this). It really means a lot that they go the extra mile just to keep us in the loop and give us that additional insight into our child's day. I would also like to add that the entire staff is very supportive and gracious. Our child has special needs and the flexibility, patience, nurturing and kindness demonstrated by the KinderCare staff has been unmatched, we are truly thankful for every employee there. It is also a plus that the center always has ongoing creative/learning activities for the kids (our son is in music class) as well giving them opportunities to interact with our public servants in the community (i.e. fireman, police officer visits) in an effort to extend the scope of classroom education. Our son's classroom teacher, Ms. Rhonda is more than a teacher to our son, she is truly a caregiver. She is informative, resourceful and warm, the reflection of everything a child's teacher should be. I would recommend this center to any parent because when we leave our son with the staff at KinderCare, we know that he is in good hands and this is evidenced by his bond with the entire staff as well as their interactions with us.
