First off, the teachers are all very nice and trying to do the best they can even though they are set up for failure. The teachers are the reason there is any star at all. But they lack good leadership. If you dont mind your newborn being laid on the floor along with older kids playing in the same room, because there are not enough teachers to break the classrooms up into age appropriate classes, then this is your place. My child was constantly being bit by a child that had siblings in the school. Rather than addressing the biter, the Director thought it was better to lose one child to a biter than to lose an entire family of 4 kids enrollment. When our favorite teacher left, the Director was very immature and would say enough to stir up trouble, but wouldnt tell parents any specifics. Why say anything at all? It just seemed that she was very catty, when there was no reason to try to spread any rumors at all. Very unprofessional. When I gave a 2 week notice, the Director quit speaking to me. She changed the door code and didnt tell me what it was. I had to get it from a teacher so that I could get to my own child. When she was not around, her staff would be nice and talk to me with no problem, but when she was around, it was like they didnt want to be seen being friendly to me or their boss may be mad at them, since I had given notice to leave. She never asked for feedback, or a reason why I was leaving. She never spoke one word to me! I went to tour other schools at the same price point and OMG, what a difference! At Kinder Care, there was no structure. Some kids napped, while some kids ate, and some kids played. It was free for all. Where I am now, my child has a scheduled nap time, a scheduled time to eat, and outdoor play. (He NEVER went outside at KC.) He is now doing infant sign language and has learned to sit at the table for meals. They didnt even have a table and chairs set up for him to learn this at KC. All of the improvements in my sons development are due to him having a set schedule and structure and being among his peers that are doing the same things. At Kinder Care, a couple of times, I walked into the room and a 12 year old was bulldozing his sibling in the infant room while my child was crawling around in the infant room. And they just looked at me and said, "its ok, hes a sibling". Well, its not ok with me to have big kids roughhousing in an infant room. Im sure the parent of those kids probably feels like part of the KC "family" since they dont have any rules, and probably a family that would give this place 5 stars for their "flexibility", but I do not like a place so flexible that there are no rules for anyone. Its so unstructured that it alienates those that are not in the Directors little clique. I work full time in a corporate world where the last thing I need to worry about is being in the Directors little clique at my childs daycare. I need to trust that my child, who cannot speak for himself, is being cared for. Consistently coming home with bite marks and bruises from other kids did not give me that trust. And its not the teachers fault. They try as best as they can with the resources they are given. They are set up to fail, and when they do, the Director blames them rather than taking any responsibility for setting them up this way. If you have a child that has been suspended or kicked out of other day cares because your child puts other kids in danger, this is probably one that wont turn you away. If you are a parent of a well behaved child and do not want your child to be getting bit and hurt, and learning bad behavior from children that are never suspended for this, then stay away from this Kinder Care.

We absolutely love the staff! They truly care about their kids and are in it for the kids. I have a son who can be very challenging. All I got from the staff is encouragement; they never once made me or him feel like he was different from the other kids. We have been to other places that have a "ritzier" reputation, like the creme de la creme on research forest, that have just treated us like a paycheck and "gave up" on my son within a week. Wynna, Jen, and the staff have a special place in my heart because they have repeatedly told me that my son has a special place in their hearts. And that is the kind of staff you want to take care of your children!! My other kids have also gone there, and loved it. I feel we are always welcome in their daycare family.

I was shocked at the poor-fair rating. The level of care that my *2* children receive surpassed my expectations long ago. I was a stay at home mother (pre-divorce), and the thought of daycares mortified me. I consider every member of the Forest Crossing Kindercare close to family status. My children (4.5 and 3) have learned a lot, and my 4.5 year old can read. They offer various programs (extra curricular) to help break up the week. My kiddos LOVE the cooking class. I spread the word about this facility every chance I have. I actually made a profile and joined Google+ just to write this review.. haha.thats dedication. Anyway.. Great place.
