I toured here not too long ago and I was not impressed. I went inside to find the Director and ask for information about the company. When talking about the care my children would receive, I found that not much information besides basic care was shared. I believe all child care centers provide meals, nap time, and time outside. I suppose I want to make sure state guidelines are met or even better, overachieved. I want to know that my children will be more than attended to for their basic needs; I want their teachers to truly love on them and everyone enjoys their day. The Director took me on a tour of the facility and it I did not anticipate what I saw. The hallways felt over cluttered with various things and I just wasnt sure where to look first. The building just seemed old, there was an odor throughout, and the equipment and facility was not well maintained. Upon entering one of the classrooms, she introduced me to the teacher there but did nothing else while we were in the room. She basically walked me into the front of the room, said this is it, and just stood there. I glanced around the room to see children playing and looking happy, I also saw art work and pictures on the walls. I wasnt sure where to look first or what was what in the room. The most important point of the tour, the classroom, was hardly focused on or shown besides the entrance of the room. I left feeling disappointed and unsure of the KinderCare brand. I feel the Director was out of touch with the school, lacking the ability to discuss the classrooms beyond their daily schedules. I can read the daily schedules; I want to know the real happening beyond the print. I want to know what my child are learning, how much fun they were having while they made new discoveries. I chose not to enroll here because I feel I know hardly anything about the school. I honestly read more on the KinderCare site about their programs than during my tour. I did however visit a private nearby center just down the road which was faith based. I recommend all the parents traveling to each school and touring them all before choosing one KinderCare was my first stop and I just had to keep looking.

[[Update: my daughter is learning so much, but is never pressured to "work". She is engaged with fun and creative activities and learns through a lot of play. She leaves happy -and always comes home with drawings. Her teachers are high quality, knowledgeable, and seem to enjoy their work.]] After touring two other places, Im happy with deciding on this one. During the tour, I felt like the assistant director and all of the staff were very warm and caring. They even told me about their previous issues with high turnover for staff, and how they hired new teachers who are more passionate about what they do. They have proven themselves correct, so far, as the teachers seem to enjoy their work, they take the time to listen and answer questions, and lovingly care for my daughter (shes in preschool). This is her first time in this kind of setting and she LOVES her teachers. Parents enter with a door code, which is semi-secure (but at one of the other daycare centers, we walked right in the unlocked door). My daughter has been attending since July. There are still tears sometimes when I drop her off, but at the end of the day, she is all smiles. She has made a few friends and seems to enjoy her days. They do all kinds of special things like theme days, inter-class competitions, music, arts and crafts, and they recently had a police officer visit and show them his police vehicle. The reason I cannot give five stars is because of the standard public school processed food. At least I can send her lunch.

My child and I both have very much enjoyed our experience with KinderCare. The environment is welcoming, everyone who works there has a sense of joy about them and their work and most importantly my little girl both goes to school and comes home happy. I appreciate that they enjoy her personality and I appreciate the communications from the director all the way through to the staff. The only reason they are getting 4 stars at this time and not 5 is that their payment system is a bit antiquated. I had to get a check book in order to pay them as corporate had an incredibly hard time getting me an email since they had mis-spelled my name. If that piece changes - I will happily be giving them a five star rating.

My experience has been an extremely positive one with this center. I feel like im family when I go there. My child definitely feels loved. My child has bonded with several staff members there to include teachers, culinary staff as well as both of the centers Directors.
