The staff is very polite and friendly and the premises are clean, safe and has tons of children' fun and educational activities. We are very happy we made the decision to enroll him!!!

I'm hoping this doesn't get too long but here goes nothing…read more.. Our family has been part of the Kindercare community for several years now and the experience has been nothing short of wonderful and in many ways, life-changing. Our daughter "graduated" from Kindercare last year after spending nearly 2 years there, and she is now at our local public school and thriving in TK! The structure, curriculum and most importantly, the kindness and care from the teachers and staff truly prepared her for success. I still remember when she first started there, she was hesitant, unsure and struggling with confidence, especially when holding a pencil. She would melt to the ground ha! I had a great conversation with Ms Linda about my concerns, and she along with Ms Priscilla, poured their hearts into building my daughter up. Fast forward to "graduation", my daughter left the class READING. Their focus on phonics, patience and love for teaching made all the difference. Today, she is as confident as they come and genuinely LOVES going to school. For that, I am beyond grateful!! Because of this incredible experience, our youngest son now attends Kindercare as well. He's been there since the "baby class" and has grown so much. In fact, even though he is technically eligible for TK in the fall, my husband and I have chosen to keep him at Kindercare for another year because of how much we value their program. That decision says everything about the trust and confidence we have in this school. As a busy family with two working parents, Kindercare makes it easy. Providing the meals is a game-changer. We love following the pictures and schedule updates in the Kindercare app. The pic attached is one of the many photos we get of the kids at play. They have fun family engagement activities on holidays which can be fun! We love the Halloween event! I have met so many "mom friends" here and even though their children have left Kindercare, we still make a point to get together to hangout, have a happy hour or playdate at the park with or without our Kinderkids. When you have kids excited to go to school, nothing feels better. And every time we walk through the doors, we feel like part of the family. We are thankful we found a second HOME at Kindercare.

Our son has been at the Thousand Oaks KinderCare infants program for over 6 months now and it's…read morebeen a great experience so far. We love their focus on complying with safety regulations and documenting important details of the day's events through photos, videos, and notes in the KinderCare app. Our son enjoys time with all of his wonderful teachers like Ashley, Alyssa, Maria, Amy, Grace, and his BFF Kim. Although it can get a bit hectic, as expected with all the energetic kids, it seems like the teachers have genuine support from management, Nikki and Lisa, and that everyone strives to do their best for the kids. The teachers' impressive memory of our son's activities, especially in the chaos of many kids doing many things, is really useful reference for how to continue our childcare at home in the evening. It's impossible to know every single detail and metric of the center's operations, and moreover, the long-term strategy and potential incentive shifts of KinderCare as a large corporation that recently became publicly traded. One really positive and reassuring sign for this center specifically is the long average tenure of the teachers. This center's leadership is certainly doing something well to retain its staff, some of whom have been there for decades. In our experience, the staff seem supported and everyone has been so helpful and responsive whenever we've had any concerns or questions, including consistently picking up the phone on the rare times that we call. Childcare can be thankless work that goes underappreciated and some days must be overwhelming, so we truly appreciate these hardworking teachers for taking care of our little one!

They help Nicole so much in terms of growth and education, and I'm sure they do the same for all the children. I am so happy that my daughter goes to this school with all these excellent teachers.

We receive so many updates, and the live camera gives me such peace of mind. On harder drop-off days, being able to check the app and see that she is happy and having fun makes all the difference as a parent. The school feels like a family the moment you walk in. It is warm, homey, and cozy, and every teacher is so kind and welcoming. The directors, Anne and Ginny, are truly special. They are incredibly thoughtful, caring, and make everyone feel so welcome. Another huge plus is that all food is cooked on-site! It is so helpful as a parent to know they are making healthy and delicious snacks and lunches, and it has given my daughter the opportunity to try new foods since everyone is eating the same thing. The cook is so kind, the menu changes weekly, and everything smells amazing. Lastly, we also love that my son in TK can do drop-in days with his sister during school breaks, which he has also loved his experience there too. We feel so grateful to be part of this community and highly recommend Children's Courtyard!
