This place is nothing short of AMAZING…read more Being a first-time foster parent and even first time parent... I was overwhelmed. I was not expecting to get a 3.5yo. I work from home most days, and it's kind of hard to work with a 3.5yo running around. In a panic, I quickly searched for some pre-schools in the area. I called a few and wasn't overly impressed... Head Start seemed like a GovCo kinda place that wasn't excessively welcoming... When I called Joan Richards Learning Village, I had a great feeling just talking to them on the phone. I went in to get the paperwork rolling and felt the warmest welcome into the family there. They were kind, sympathetic, knowledgeable, compassionate, and I could go on and on. I was able to get the ball rolling and get the registration completed. I was getting the kid excited for school and all to make the transition easier. About a week before the start date, there was a family visit, and the mother was a no-show. The poor kid was DEVASTATED. I figured I'd take him to his school that he was excited to see just to take a peek inside to distract him a bit. They welcomed him in and took him on a tour to see everything! He was so excited, and quickly, his mood changed from ruined to ecstatic! He was back to being a happy kid. Every staff member there is absolutely fantastic! You can feel that they all WANT to be there, not just show up to collect a check. They are all passionate about their job, and their love for the kids shows every day. They are all kind, compassionate, and patient with the little ones. I've yet to see anyone working there that was not a fantastic person. Every staff member takes personal responsibility to ensure every kid is cared for. I'm not an overly emotional person... but the love and care that the staff has for these kids gets me a little misty-eyed at times. I know I can leave my foster son there, and he will be safe and well cared for. Words cannot explain how amazing the staff makes this place. Nothing short of amazing.

My kids been going here for a while...they present themselves as good but overtime you really see…read moresome staff are very rude, indeed super! Especially the supervisors and the office staffs in the office. My child had just brought a teeny tiny candy (a small bit) on her hand from the car and didn't throw it away. One of the side staff of the office that was in the room just freaked out as if she was bringing in measles or something, it was hilarious! For over 2 years, we have ALWAYS complied to their rules but just this one time, they freaked out saying..."no no no we can't allow candies on and anywhere on school ground, it's absolutely not allowed, many kids have food allergies, no no out out right now, right now, get her OUT OUT! Go go go all the way OUT!!!" I took my kid out to toss it away, washed her hand and went back. That same lady with her face still blown and serious as if my kid is bringing in an epidemic disease or something...looked me in the eye and start fussing again LOL as if her world was going to explode!!! then she start out saying again as if I was death the first time! She even went to my other kid in the other room to investigate her and took her candy still in its package. Wow, just so desperately in pain, something is getting her all hyped up! She scolded at me again, "no we absolutely cannot allow any candy at school grounds, do not ever bring it again. We have food allergies and can pose health risks. Do you understand? Absolutely not on anywhere on ground here. Does ....(other child) also have it too?" Well you're holding it!!!! You went and investigate the other child too and why are you asking me? I said, I understand. Kids sometimes will be kids and she had just slipped from car and didn't finish. It's just the first time for over 2 years being here." She kept rolling her eyes and trying to get her last word...saying no no no you can't have it...it's absolutely not allowed. Her and their approach are very cruel and rude. I think from coming here a long time and we knowing each other, she and the other teacher in their should have shown some respect and just remind us because children do make mistakes when some days don't go right. Just a small piece of bit of candy shouldn't make this much of a dispute and problem between us. It's been said that people shouldn't make such small things a big mountain or hurdle between friends and people in general, causes a lot of mistrust and disappointment. I honestly lost my trust in the office staffs. Not necessarily at the teachers but at the staff, that specific lady that was always wandering the rooms, because of her rudeness towards parents whose child is a super good child. I am proud of my child in that room especially because I know she is a wonderful child as I've nursed her and come to know she listens. She was saddened and feel threatened by them when She was forced not to step in and get out at the moment, clueless and frustrated. So after I explained to her she went in still feeling shame guilt and feeling horrible by the look on her face. This facility usually by my experience make kids feel guilty by screaming and scolding at the kids (some of the teachers and staff). This time really made me angry and I lost trust in their friendship and guidance to a successful and honorable leadership. I think they could have just said it nicely instead of scolding and freezing the whole class from looking and making my child seem like she was in trouble especially coming from an outsider of the day to day base classroom instruction. I had already understood it the first sentence, just overly yelling makes it seem all too serious as if it's court or something doesn't prove them moral or virtuous. If she wants us to really get punished and feel bad, how can we ever return back to this environment? I mean my kids do make a big difference in being the foundation of the school environment right? Moreover, if all things under gone scientific investigations and proved my kid's small piece of candy to cause all the kids to get sick. Heck, I'll even pay for all their medical bills!!!! But why all the nasty cough and infections that have spread to the whole school and my child being sick for over 6 months no recovered from the cough did I NOT say one word of complaint to them of their lack of care in washing their hands or telling other parents to not take their sick kids to school. I mean the cough my kids caught here along with the lice and hand and foot mouth disease really was getting everyone sick in OCt, Nov and Dec 2018. They got this all wrong and messed up. Their perception was too blindfolded and too narrow on this small matter. My kid had suffered more compared to this piece of candy that If made anyone sick, I'll pay for it on top of having them pay for my child's pain and suffering for over 6 months.

Some have been here for over 10 years. They also provide bus pick up for my kids school. As a single mother they made my life so much easier during work hours. I always hear about other child cares closing early for constant "meetings" or holidays that not all of us get off. Kinder Care does not do that and very regularly stick to being open for the convenience of their parents. Ms. Cindy and Ms. Amy are two of the staff members that I can name go above and beyond for the company and their families. I would choose Kinder Care for my children time and time again.

I'm professional woman experiencing displacement and my children are being withheld…read moreinappropriately. I'm self-supporting by my own income all of the time up until this week and if you off days where my income did not align with a bill. I'm a woman with poor credit who lives a Christian lifestyle my fundamentals are. I have the capability to advocate for myself I can speak in a manner that gets my words across and I can communicate my needs, however there have been days in my medical journey or my mental health journey where I could not communicate my needs to the hospital I could not communicate my needs to social work I could not communicate my needs prior to learning about what they were. The reason I am so openly willing to share this information is because my experience here at this space is that as a woman who can understand what's going on around her and can use her words to ask for what she needs I am still unable to receive a safe situation based on protocol. I'm not a woman who's experienced homelessness for years or been an addiction or run the streets so I'm a woman exiting my home to the space in an emergency crisis situation, for women who have been made to jump through hoops for years to receive basic necessities I cannot imagine how they are treated and the situations they deal with if they do not have the words to respond appropriately or the connections to reach out to safely. Never in my life have I felt so disrespected or physically demeaned in a professional setting outside of the county jail on an occasion when I was there improperly . There is nowhere to appropriately send this message so that is why it is public because I would rather say with my name or stay with my voice what is wrong in a situation then leave it be for others who are more vulnerable at risk than my own self. Being displaced for my means and my home and having poor credit and no financial support does not mean I lose my respect card I've been coming here for a period of 6 to 9 months while supporting myself in temporary housing without the DHA this emergency crisis situation does not a lot staff permission to put me in my place or teach me a lesson for there is none for them to teach me and they do not know my history. I believe it is a lack of continued education or a lack of proper training lack of understanding or maybe you burn out maybe it is a lack of funding and a lack of staff. I have never asked to use an additional service outside of my qualifications and that is exactly what it is a place like this it is a service to the community and the members of the community. Also my experience thus far has been a lot of assumption based treatment. As an adult who is not on any probation parole no stipulation no CPS and no criminal charges pending I do expect to be treated as an honest woman which is how I present in my community and how I am with my loved ones as well as professionally
