DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD TO THIS DAYCARE - NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE…read more. This daycare has been one of the worst experiences I've had as a parent. While the caregivers themselves were kind and took good care of my child, everything else about the management and administration was an absolute disaster. In less than 3 months, my child went through 4 different directors. Each time I had to re-explain the same issues over and over again because no one followed up or took responsibility. I am a parent receiving childcare subsidy assistance. From day one, I was told by the first director that I was "good to go" and had no out-of-pocket costs. Weeks later, I noticed they were charging me full price. The second director admitted that KinderCare made the error and said they would fix it--but she was fired a few days later. The third director discovered that I had been incorrectly entered as the full-price payer and not the subsidy provider. She said she'd fix it, but then disappeared a week later as well. By the time the fourth director came in, I had to start all over again. It turns out my paperwork was approved by the provider months ago, and the daycare had simply failed to bill them. Meanwhile, I was being sent bills with late fees and interest for charges I shouldn't have been responsible for in the first place. To make matters worse, the daycare sent messages telling parents to pick up their kids early because they were short-staffed. One day there was even a sign on the door saying children would be turned away after a certain time. That is completely unacceptable--especially for working parents like myself and my husband who cannot just leave work. Final Straw & Ongoing Issues I gave my two weeks' notice due to all of these issues. However, the daycare director refused to sign my release paperwork, which delayed my child's enrollment at a new daycare. Months later, I'm still dealing with this mess despite calling corporate FOUR times. Now they've added late fees on a bill that is entirely their fault. The regional director, Sheena, is not trying to help me. I have called her to explained that they have sent me to collection due to this issue. She still haven't help me or try to fix the problem .If you're a parent considering this daycare or any KinderCare location think twice. The caregivers may care, but the management is completely unreliable and unprofessional. This has caused me emotional, financial, and logistical stress I wouldn't wish on any parent.

The director goes into the woods to smoke cigarettes throughout the day. The turn over is…read morehorrendous. My child has had 5 different sets of "teachers" in his year here. 4 or possibly even 5 different directors. All good staff left because of the direction the center is headed.

If you're cool with blatant discrimination, this is the school for you!!…read more In January of 2016, I inquired about after school care for my daughter. I was told there was availability and that I should come by and tour the school and pick up an application. Sweet! Oh until I mentioned that my daughter was in a wheelchair. ::record screeeeeech:: Then I was told there was actually a small wait list....it must have slipped the front office administrator's mind...but hey it happens. So we get on the wait list and call to check in from time to time only to be told "there's just one more child ahead of her" time and time again. After several months we talk directly with the owner and straight up ask her if there's an issue with my child being admitted because she's in a wheelchair. She assured us this was absolutely not the case and our child would be the very next one admitted once an opening became available. So TWO YEARS (because apparently this is the Harvard of after school care) go by and within that time we managed to find another place for her until that spot opens up. We actually let it go for a while since we found a nice program that had no issue with meeting her needs, and ultimately that's what we were looking for, but kept her on the list just in case. However today we randomly saw the owner again and asked her about it. She ACTUALLY said no child has been admitted in the LAST TWO YEARS. Like those words actually came out of her mouth. I don't know about you, but that sounds awfully suspicious. I'm bringing this up now in the hopes that they will take a look at themselves and ask what they are getting out of denying kids with disabilities. That and so they can thoroughly brush up on the rules and regulations of the ADA Act. Just in case they need a resource, here is a link to show just how illegally discriminatory they are. https://www.ada.gov/childqanda.htm We are also in the process of working with ADA advocates in regards to this so you can also ask them any questions you may have once they contact you. Have a blessed day. I mean that as sarcastically as possible.

When I would pick up my child, I was greeted by workers snapping at kids and constantly kids crying. This is new. The center was never like this before. It is under new management, and its changed in such a bad way since then. They are never within ratio and have workers without all their required child care hours. And I say workers because I do not consider them as caretakers or teachers. They do not do the things required to be that. Recently, two teachers with nearly 50 years of combined dedication to this center were fired based on false accusations. They simply wanted to get rid of their most expensive employees, so they can hire people with way less experience for the bare minimum pay. It is so sad to see what has become of this place. If you do take a chance on this place, you better pray you get one of the few good teachers that are left. Loyal families are pulling their kids from this center because they fear their child's safety. Myself included. Beware. ​
