It's one of the most stressful parts of relocating--until we found Braddock Road KinderCare. I can honestly say this center has been an absolute gift to our family since starting in the summer of 2023. From the start, we've felt welcomed, supported, and truly cared for. The director, Susie, is amazing--she's engaged, responsive, and really listens to families. Anytime we've had questions or concerns (which has been rare), she's communicated clearly and compassionately, and always worked with us to find the best path forward. She truly leads by example. Belkys (and Nancy, before she transferred) have also been incredible--warm, professional, and clearly invested in the well-being of every child. The teachers are phenomenal--Nisha, Uregi, Rose, Taliah, Anita, Melanie, and Shagofa have all played key roles in our kids' lives. They create classrooms that are safe, fun, and full of learning, and it's clear how much they care about each child as an individual. They've even reached out when our kids were sick or recovering from surgery, which was so touching and thoughtful. Even staff who haven't directly taught our children are kind, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. It's such a warm, caring environment all around. I recommend this center to everyone looking for childcare. Our kids are happy, thriving, and well cared for--and as a parent, there's nothing more valuable. This place is truly something special.

I was abused here by the counselors. This was way back in the 2000's but let me just tell y'all. I…read morewas refused food, locked in the bathrooms and in the nursery. I have been forced to have an accident many many times, when I would go to time out they would make me go with the lunch ladies, help them make lunch, and then made me sit all the way across the room while everyone ate. The older kids once put me in a bin and rolled me down a hill, I was left there for an hour outside in like 80 degree weather. It might have changed since I was like a small child because I'm an adult now, but it was not good when I had attended.

My daughter loved her, got very attached to her and learned so much in that classroom. When she turned two in May she transferred to the 2-s classroom and we never thought there could be another teacher as good as Ms. Yaneth but low and behold we got Ms. Miki who is equally as amazing. SUPER sweet, and every time I pick up my daughter she doesn't even want to come home! And Ms. Miki gives me such a good report on her day and keeps me aware of issues we have discussed (not daycare related, things like how I want her to eat more but not certain things, etc.). These teachers become like family and I have not seen a SINGLE teacher leave, they have zero to low turnover. And the Director, Ms. Amy is so wonderful to work with. She always says hi and I feel so comfortable going to her with any concerns. What sold me on this particular center though, was when I enrolled my daughter my biggest concern was her transition since she had been at home with a nanny for 16 months and most daycare Directors would brush off that fear and say "oh don't worry she'll adjust." But Amy came up with a week long transition plan to have me in the classroom with her a few hours a day and extending my daughters time in the classroom without me day by day. It was such a great transition. For about one month she would cry at dropoff (and stop crying by the time I had walked out of the building) and ever since then when I drop her off I have to chase her to hug me and give me a kiss goodbye! If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't change a THING. Love my KinderCare family.

I wrote this piece for my FB the day PJ grew up this past Tuesday. Sweet, warm but melancholic but…read moreit really hit me that day... "I came into the fatherhood game late in life. And as most of you know time is fleeting when you see your child grow. It doesn't hit you at once. It slowly envelopes you and brings realization that he's quickly growing up. This morning as I do I walk him to his school entrance door at 7:30 bc he wants to be the first one in. Just yesterday we did our usual routine of talking outside and me asking for one last hug and kiss. He walks thru the door and stands along the wall with some classmates and tells me not leave but to watch him walk down the hall...a city block long... every couple of feet he turns and waves, smiles and continues down until he is just a yellow fleece sleeve waving at me. Then this morning the door opens and he turns quickly and says "daddy, quick last hug and kiss" then through the door starts his walk. This time all alone. Walking confidently, so self assured, he was 6' tall like he was going to work. How does this happen? He's only 5. Just yesterday he was a tiny baby, we napped in the hot summer afternoon and now he doesn't need my hand.....I cherish every moment with him as if it were the last, telling stories under the covers, of two bluebirds that watch him play and talk about him....." We attribute his self assured level headed maturity to you and your program over his 1st 5 years. He is mow the sweetest boy, a good healthy 5 yr old. His passion for reading and creativity continues to grow every day. Thank you.
