Amazing Staff-Great Programs-Very Well Prepared Preschool…read more Our son just started Kindergarten and had been at Kiddie Kove since the age of 3. Although there were a few teachers that left during that time, the turn over was very low compared to other centers. They hire part time students that have focus on early childhood development and lots of experience with different age children. The food choices have helped our son try new things and actually eat certain casseroles that we didn't realize he would eat. A few field trips are done per year and they are highly chaperoned and well planned. They do not do background checks on parents for those field trips so that would be something they could improve on, however there is plenty of Staff on hand at all times. Our son learned many sign language skills, many Spanish words/number/phrases, and greatly improved his self-help skills such as zippers, doing buttons, washing hands. In my opinion their Parent Aware rating is lower due to just being graded for the first time. I have seen them keep up to date on safety standards, cleanliness, curriculum, nutrition and arts. I would highly recommend Kiddie Kove. They are family owned, very caring, and they do a wonderful job loving and teaching children. Our Kindergartener is well adjusted, happy, smart and pretty outgoing thanks to being well prepared from Kiddie Kove..

She creates a warm, safe, and structured environment tailored to the needs of each child. We regularly receive thoughtful progress updates and report cards that highlight what our son is excelling at and areas where he can continue to grow--something we love! On top of that, she provides delicious, home-cooked lunches! Tina genuinely cares for every child in her care. We feel so lucky to have had her in our son's life.

We completed Kindergarten round-up and they were so impressed by how much my son knew already. They wanted to know where we send our son so they could even make recommendations to her! She is extremely reliable, only needing 1 sick day in the 3.5 years we have been with her! Her vacation times are very clear in the contract and she always gives multiple reminders well ahead of time. She is a gem and worth EVERY penny! *It keeps saying my location is in California, but this is incorrect. I am from St. Cloud, MN!*

I would not recommend this daycare to anyone I worked here for a week, I reported being bullied by…read morea lead staff who didn't wanted me to report stuff I saw and was told I was lying even though I reported what was going on more then once and asked them to even look into cameras and told they did not have them and they didn't work, then was refused my last pay check all because I said I was going to report them to the state for seeing staff slapping kids, pushing kids down, yelling and swearing at kids, and even make a child wipe there own spit on them self after they said the kid spit on them when they never did! I offer to leave they could not resolve the issue with me and that staff or look into the cameras and was lied they would and only had me work two more days before firing me for coming to the again about the issues and was told I was fired and banned from the center but never looked into what I saw and now I have even reported everything to the state every I saw to, they are very unprofessional and do not care for there aide let there teachers bully the aides so the don't go up to high ups reporting them about stuff they are doing! ok

This daycare is an absolute disaster from the top down. The director, Andrea, is openly rude,…read moredismissive, and talks to parents like they're stupid. They don't follow their own policies, don't complete required incident reports, and their "Honeycomb" system they brag about is basically useless since it isn't even utilized over half the day. They are severely short-staffed and it shows - constant chaos, kids hitting other kids with zero staff intervention and no sense of safety or structure. During enrollment, the staff member handling my intake told me to leave the weekly rate blank because they "needed county verification" before giving me any numbers. I signed the authorization assuming, logically, that they wouldn't charge anything until they knew what CCAP covered. Instead, they withdrew nearly $600 from my bank account without any notice, invoice, or explanation. No one had ever told me the rates, what I'd owe, or that they would charge me before receiving county information. Every interaction with Andrea after that was condescending and hostile. She talked over me repeatedly, refused to answer basic questions, and gave me the run-around for over two weeks. She even lied about not having my county paperwork... because I saw it sitting out in the open on the front desk, containing private information. I am in the Safe at Home program. That alone is unacceptable. When my son finally started, things got worse. He was inconsolable at drop-off and pickup, the classrooms were understaffed and chaotic, and kids were being hit with zero intervention. A staff member casually told me my son had been hit and dragged by his shirt, yet no incident report was ever completed. When I asked about it, Andrea gave me more attitude and zero answers. After repeated calls and no follow-up, I withdrew him. The ONLY competent person in this entire company was Emily at corporate, who fixed what the center repeatedly messed up. Do not trust this location with your child. The disorganization, lack of safety, unprofessional behavior and blatant mishandling of money & personal information are beyond unacceptable. This place is a liability. Run the other way.
