I started taking my daughter to this Kindercare when she was about 6 months old. She is now 17 months and I love the decision that I made! The staff are wonderful and they are all so kind! I can tell my daughter has a great time because she likes going in and I always see her sitting in the teachers lap when Im picking her up. She only does that with people she really likes. Im always getting artwork and pictures from the center and they always tell me what she does everyday. At 17 months, she already knows so many words and can easily communicate with me what she wants. She also has been taught some sign language, they are working on teaching Spanish, and many other things that I dont think I could have taught her on my own! Its nice knowing that I can work full time and feel comforted that she is both being watched in great hands and is learning so many things. Another wonderful thing that meant a lot to me is the advice they have given me! I am a first time mother with no experience with babies and when she had bad rashes or felt upset, the caretakers would give me advice on things I could try at home. It was nice knowing that I could get help with questions that I had right from her caretakers. East side Kindercare is a wonderful place. Laura and the staff are all so kind and caring, I wouldnt switch child cares for anything.

We love KinderCare! My kids having been going since they were around 12 weeks old. My oldest is in Discovery Preschool and has learned so much. She loves staying busy all day with fun and educational activities and looks forward to going every day. My youngest is in the infant room and I am already being sent home with artwork that she has made. They also go through the effort to take the babies outside to get some fresh air in the shade, which I love. The communication between the staff and parents is great. When I pick my kids up they tell me if they had a good day then I get a daily sheet of all the activities, food, nap and diaper/potty times. Also, each week I get an email about specific activities they did relating to the unit they are in. The best part about KinderCare are their teachers. They truly care about my kids. Almost every teacher has had years of experience in child care. It means so much to me that I can trust these people with the care of my children while I am away from them. I also love that they support my parenting choices and the needs of my child. Not all centers are supportive or understanding of breastfeeding and cloth diapering so it really means a lot to me that accommodate our needs. I could go on all day about how much I love KinderCare!

As a first time mom, finding a daycare for our son was hard. Trusting strangers to care for your child is even harder. Kindercare East has been wonderful; they meet all of our sons developmental needs with structured programs, his emotional needs with lots of cuddles, and they take the time to get to know the kids and their families. They made a first time mom trust them. I am a breastfeeding mother; they supported me by reading the material I gave them, encouraged me to breastfeed at drop-off and pick-up (working with me to avoid extra pumping) and they have a woman in the infant room that is a certified breastfeeding counselor! We cloth diaper our son. Most centers refuse to allow this. Not Kindercare. They worked with us and that was a huge plus. They go the extra mile. They are in constant communication through email or phone. They send pictures of our son to me to make my day better by showing me how much fun he has with his teachers. They call with a heads-up if he has a rough day. These are people who care. In addition, they working towards accredation which shows that they want to do what is best for your kid. I cant say enough about the staff. We have been with them for 4 months, and love it.

My girls have been attending Kindercare for about 7 months or so now, and I have seen such a drastic change in both of them. The interaction of the kids and how well the staff works with them, is all helping them in growing. The teachers and staff at Kindercare are wonderful!! I have gained friendships with these men and women! My oldest rushes me along in the morning so that she can go to school to see her friends and teachers, so I know that has to mean something! :) I HIGHLY recommend Kindercare! Best place my kids have and ever will go! They all truly enjoy their jobs and it shows. Love love love this place!!

My son and daughter just started here at the beginning of the month. My daughter who is almost 3 has never been in a structured center like this and loves it. Shes making friends and learning so much. each morning she asks me "I go to school mommy?" which tells me how much she enjoys it. And my son whos now 7 months loves it as well. we walk into the infant part and hes see his teachers and reaches for them. hes made connections and its good for them and they learn so much. The staff is friendly and caring people. you can tell they enjoy what they do.

Do not take your kids here. One of the infant teachers is fine but the rest (and especially the toddler teachers) dont play or interact with children. They just watch them. They dont listen to parents and just do what they want. They once called me at work to ask what they should do with my infant that was tired...I suggested they put her down for a nap? Oy. I am only giving them one star because it doesnt allow you to give 0 stars.

My children absolutely love Kindercare. Its a wonderful place the kids just have grown so much. The staff are attentive and caring and I am so glad my kids get to experience all the love and care they receive there. So thankful for kindercare thank you for all you guys do.

I wouldnt imagine sending my son anywhere else. I love the staff! -everyone is super easy to talk to, communication is great, every staff member seems to absolutely love it there as well (which makes it a lot easier on me...) Keep up the good work guys :-)

When looking for a daycare, we looked at multiple places and none of them felt right until we visited East Cedar Rapids KinderCare. The staff is great with my son and very supportive of our family.
