Wonderful facility and amazing staff! Miss Carol Anne and Andrea are super friendly and…read moreknowledgeable! My daughter and I LOVE the Play & Learn classes!

My daughter was enrolled in this dysfunctional preschool for a brief time last year, and I'm…read moregrateful that she is no longer involved with this poorly structured organization. If you've read the other reviews that were posted on here, you're already aware of the quality of environment these children were dealing with on a daily basis. My daughter would cry buckets whenever I would drop her off every morning and couldn't wait to come home at the end of the day. She still tells me stories about some of the things that happened while she was there and my heart breaks every time I hear them. Whenever there were staffing issues, you would be left hanging at the very last minute, which put a hurt on me financially since I was dependent on their services. Plus, their billing department was always changing, never being up front and honest about how much money you would have to pay for their services. Shame on the staff at Hershey KinderCare!

I would NOT recommend The Hershey KinderCare Center to parents of pre-school age children (3 and…read moreup). This center in particular has had a lot of staff issues recently and have been under investigation by their own regional office for quite some time. It is evident in how they handle dealing with normal behavior that could and generally does arise with children of this age. They are under staffed, which does not allow them to provide the quality time nor dedication that children of this age critically require. Instead, they will mandate that your children be outside in the play area a majority of the day (yes... in severe heat as well as cold)... And mix your preschoolers with older children without the proper monitoring, which will obviously set your young impressionable children up to learn new things that are not necessarily age-appropriate or in their best interest. Parents... if your children are currently attending this center, please keep a tight monitor on what your children are learning as well as communicating to you. Children of this age are very impressionable... But they are also honest to a fault... so please listen carefully and believe what they are saying... challenging with staff if your gut tells you to do so! Individuals that are currently running that center (Colbee and Amanda) May have the credentials to be there... however do not display the common knowledge it takes, which can't be just self taught.

I love so much about this school! The main selling points were the excellent, creative curriculum…read moreand the beautiful, clean facilities. The teachers and staff are all wonderful -- they show how much they care about and enjoy working with kids every day. I also appreciate that the school communicates so well with parents and builds a strong community with activities, such as book club, that bring in parents to connect with each other and engage with teachers on a regular basis.

We couldn't be more pleased with the care our child is provided. The family environment is…read morecomforting for a full time working parent, and I feel as though her education and development is their priority every day. They make a huge effort to include parents in the daily accomplishments their children via multiple email updates with pictures throughout the day, which makes me feel I'm not missing out on quite so much while at work. The school encourages and nurtures cultural diversity both in the student/family population and within the curriculum. The facility itself is clean/organized and the faculty are always friendly and know every single student by name! Many of the teachers have been there since opening in 2012 when my child started there as a baby, and to me that speaks volumes about the dedication the teachers have to the children and that they are treated well themselves by the employer. Happy teachers mean happy kids in my opinion!! Not only have they retained an incredible staff, there are many families that have also been a part of this school since day 1, some with multiple children as their families have grown, again speaking volumes about the family environment and quality education that is provided. Additionally, they follow strict guidelines regarding food safety, allergy awareness and hygiene-believe me I have received many emails regarding slip ups if I don't properly label my child's food items etc, again reassuring me that my child and the other children in her classroom/school are their priority.

Although there are a few good teachers at this school, the staff is ALWAYS changing and the parents…read moreare never told why. This was our first year at this school and it will definitely be our last. There is no Biblical emphasis here at all, which is another thing we didn't like. I can't expect my child to adjust to preschool when I can't even keep up with the constantly changing faces here. Do your research and talk to other parents before enrolling here.
