Its educational, engaging, and the kids are never bored with all the activities and attention they get. It took her a few weeks to get used to it, and was pretty shy and had some separation anxiety at first, but now, she runs in there looking forward to morning snack and a day of learning and fun. The director is fabulous too. She is intelligent, friendly, and knowledgeable while running a tight ship. Kudos to the whole gang there! p.s. I am not in San Francisco, regardless of what Yelp says. I am in Vernon.

Since enrolling our child at Kindercare in Vernon, CT in June 2025, our experience has been nothing…read moreshort of amazing. From the moment we walk in each morning, we're greeted with warm smiles and genuine care. The staff goes above and beyond--not only do they sanitize toys constantly and maintain a clean, safe environment, but they also send us daily updates through their app, complete with photos that brighten our day. What truly sets this center apart is the dedication of the entire team. The director is hands-on and visible, engaging with parents and supporting classrooms every morning. The infant teachers are phenomenal--compassionate, attentive, and deeply invested in each child's growth. As parents who are cautious about entrusting others with our child's care, we feel immense peace of mind knowing our little one is in such capable and loving hands. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed--even for infants! Our child has enjoyed activities like finger painting, exploring textures, water play, planting pumpkin seeds, singing, and story time. These experiences have supported his development in incredible ways. In just a few months, he's gone from struggling to roll over to taking his first steps--proof of the nurturing and stimulating environment Kindercare provides. They serve nutritious meals and snacks daily, use state-regulated sleep sacks for infants, and always maintain proper teacher-to-child ratios. Every detail reflects their commitment to excellence and safety. I recommend Kindercare Vernon to every parent I meet. It's not just a daycare--it's a place where children thrive, and families feel supported. We absolutely love it here!

Extremely dissatisfied with how they handle situations regarding supervision in the classroom, and they do not keep proper documentation of incidents that occur. Not to mention that the last incident that had occurred, I received a text instead of a phone call even though management knew this was a very sensitive issue. Additionally, tuition is raised each year and they have gotten rid of the "Men and Women in the Workforce" discount. Staff are constantly being turned over or shuffled around. The list goes on and on. Look elsewhere!

We've had our kiddo enrolled here for several months now, and we're so happy we made the decision of this daycare. The staff is amazingly patient, informed, and kind.

Thank you TLE for all your effort and care - each and every one of your staff I've met is amazing.

Our child spent 3 years at the school, and it started out well but by the end of our time there we…read morewere glad to be done dealing with them. The teachers are nice and have a good curriculum, but it doesn't vary from year to year, so if your child goes for multiple years they repeat the same songs/experiments/projects every year. It is a private, not-for-profit school, and that is good and bad. The good thing is their is a volunteer Board that handles the finances, policies, etc for the school. The bad side of that is children with behavioral issues (physically aggressive with others, excessive crying from separation issues) take a large amount of time and attention from the teachers, leaving the rest of the students with less direct teaching and adult interactions. The first year there was a floater teacher/teachers aid that was very helpful in these situations, but that position didn't exist in the 2nd and 3rd year for us. We would have gone elsewhere for the 3rd year but Covid restrictions kept our preferred school from opening. The room has multiple stations that kids can choose to play with items like play doh/floam, a water station, painting, play kitchen, etc, so they choose where they spend time, and then there is something teacher-led for the children to interact with the teacher. It's nice for kids to pick what they do, but there isn't a structure in place to ensure kids participate in the teacher-led portion, and if that is where the true curriculum planned for the day or week happens, it's possible your child is just playing all day. That's fine for part of the time, but we found it happened a lot more frequently than we wanted. We were looking for social interaction as well as teaching kindergarten preparation skills, and we ended up teaching most of the skills at home. There was a change in the Director position during our time there, and we did not feel that the new Director had the same skills or strengths as the previous one, and we did not agree with the handling of classroom issues that indirectly impacted our child. Maybe with time this will improve, but we were often frustrated or disappointed in the processes in place.

My children have learned so much about self care, independence, sharing, and many other academically enriching activities while at this school. I highly recommend you take a visit and see for yourself.

BEWARE OF THIS DAYCARE…read more As both a former employee and a parent, I would never recommend Rainbow Center in Wethersfield to any family. I left this center because I could no longer feel comfortable being associated with the environment children were being exposed to. During my time there, I witnessed staff yelling at children for having accidents instead of helping them with patience and compassion. In the 2's program specifically, I personally heard a staff member insult children by calling them "ugly," "disgusting like their parents," using the R-word toward a toddler, and calling another child a "s--- like her mother." I also witnessed children being handled roughly, including being dragged by the hood of a sweatshirt and yanked by their arms. One situation that especially upset me involved a 1 1/2-year-old child who had been stung by a bee and was told to "suck it up" instead of being comforted appropriately. What makes this even more concerning is that the same employee who spoke to children this way and handled them roughly was also babysitting some of these same children privately outside of daycare hours. I also witnessed serious concerns regarding illness policies. During a hand-foot-and-mouth outbreak, children were allowed to remain in classrooms despite visible sores because staff did not want to inconvenience parents late in the day. As a parent myself, that was extremely concerning. Another major issue was the lack of accountability from management. I repeatedly reported inappropriate behavior and concerns directly to administration, including through text messages, and little to no action was taken. The employee involved remained working with children. The culture among staff was deeply unprofessional. Teachers openly mocked parents, criticized children's lunches, made insulting comments about families, and even mocked disabilities in front of children. No child deserves to grow up in an environment where adults speak about them that way. There are wonderful childcare workers everywhere who genuinely love and protect children. Unfortunately, my experience at this center was the opposite, and I would strongly encourage parents to look carefully into other options before enrolling their child here. if you have questions or want proof my email is coarosex@gmail.com
