It's also so conveniently located!

She went from being a shy little baby to being a little chatterbox that looks forward to seeing her friends and teachers every day. The teachers are top notch and truly look like they enjoy being here plus the administration does everything they can to create a fun and safe environment. Never once have I been upset to drop her off. Kathy Bader, the director, has this contagious happiness that really makes you believe she loves her job and she is excellent at being the main person at the school. My daughter is 2 years old and already has learned to count to 15, say the alphabet, and sing funny songs. She also is getting close to being fully potty-trained and is learning to express her emotions in an effective way. This is all thanks to the work of Kathy and her crew! 2 Thumbs up and 10 stars for TLE-Milford!

My experience with Kindercare Learning Center of Milford has been a complete and utter disaster,…read moremarked by a shocking level of negligence and mismanagement. I feel compelled to share my grievances to protect other parents from the nightmarish ordeal I endured. I will summarize my issues first, and if you want, you can continue reading below to get more details. 1. Due to their negligence, they burned my son with cleaning chemicals, sending him and other children to the emergency room. 2. Due to their negligence, they dislocated my daughter's arm, giving her a nursemaid elbow injury and sending her to urgent care. 3. Due to their negligence, they gave milk to my daughter, with a lethal milk allergy. This happened several times. 4. Due to mismanagement, they are constantly understaffed and are forced to be closed. I will be referencing several incidents that are on record with the state. You can review these incidents and investigations by visiting this link on the Mass.gov website. Direct Link to Kindercare's page on Mass.Gov: https://eeclead.my.site.com/apex/eec_childcaresearchproviderdetail?id=001j000000qhjjcAAA Using the above link, you can see that in the past 3 years, there have been EIGHT investigations on the center. All eight had non-compliances identified, and one involved substantiated child abuse and/or neglect. There are SEVERAL daycare centers in Milford and the surrounding towns that have zero investigations. I suggest you go to those instead. Chemical Burns: On 11/22/2022, Kindercare proved themselves dangerously negligent when my son suffered burns from cleaning chemicals under their care. Not only did they expose him to chemicals, they drastically underplayed the severity of the chemicals, causing burns to my child's face. My son was not the worst impacted by this. I know other children were harmed much worse, and legal action was taken. You can read about this incident yourself via the link I shared above. Dislocated Arm: In yet another display of negligence, my daughter's teacher dislocated my daughter's arm, specifically a nursemaid elbow injury, due to the staff not being adequately trained on handling and caring for children. Such preventable injuries reveal a profound lack of attention and competency. Lethal Allergy Mismanagement: Kindercare showed a shocking disregard for my daughter's well-being by giving her milk repeatedly, despite being fully aware of her life-threatening milk allergy. My daughter's doctor even wrote the Kindercare director a letter explaining the seriousness of my daughter's allergy. This flagrant negligence endangered her life and highlighted a dangerous lack of understanding and adherence to basic health protocols. Chronic Understaffing and Closure: The mismanagement at Kindercare is evident in their chronic understaffing issues, leading to frequent closures. This instability disrupts the lives of parents and puts me at risk of losing my job several times. As well as the four main issues, there have been several annoying more minor concerns. Such as my potty-training daughter coming home with a messy bottom because no teacher helped wipe her. There have also been strange issues concerning her food allergies. I've been asked several times, "Can your daughter eat this?" and a teacher will hand me a cookie or cracker. I can not tell what is in a cookie or cracker by simply looking at the cookie or cracker. The teachers show a lack of understanding that allergy information is listed on the LABEL ON THE BOX THAT THE FOOD COMES IN, not on the cookie itself. Also, as of writing this, eight teachers have quit in the past two months, and we've had four directors in the past three years. Clearly, a management or pay problem trickles down and causes many of these issues. In summary, my experience at Kindercare was nothing short of a nightmare. Their negligence resulted in chemical burns, dislocated elbows, and a life-threatening allergen exposure. Furthermore, their chronic understaffing and frequent closures indicate a lack of proper management and organizational capabilities. I strongly advise parents to seek out a daycare center that prioritizes professionalism, competence, and the safety of the children in their care. If you aren't sure where to start, use the state website https://childcare.mass.gov/findchildcare to find daycares close to you and find one that has had few to no investigations against them. I wish I had known about that website before enrolling my kids at Kindercare.

IF There were a ZERO star review I would give that. This is by FAR the WORSE childcare I ever seen…read more They will not feed your child. My child still learning to eat on his own... but they will not help the children. And my child came back home hungry multiple times with the whole lunch back home. Also They are very quick to enroll your child. They will make a contract that locks you in and they will NOT explain the cancelation policy yet you have to pay regardless your child is there or not. - I was never explained about their cancelation policy neither given a paper copy of the policy. My child got sick with RSV in their facility and i had to retrieve my child so I could take care of mu child and go to hospitals and doctors appoitments. They told me I was responsible to pay extra 2 weeks even though my child was not there. I refused to pay for something that I was never explained about and never got a paper policy copy. They sent the " bill" to colections . Now i am dealing with that. DONT ENRROL YOUR CHILD THERE!

Activity wise also they teach them lot of things and i was surprised to see my toddler's vocabulary had suddenly increased and she could count, tell colors apart and alphabets.. I am happy with the move.. only con i would say the price changed steeply from 1 year to other and i wish the prices stay under 500 per week

Over the past 13 months she has bonded so well with her teachers and her peers and she has mastered many skills (both verbal and physical) along the way. The center's food menu has a great variety and, honestly, I feel less stressed not to have to worry about packing her lunch and subsequently she has learned not to be a picky eater at all. With both of us having 10+ hour work days including our commutes, it truly gives us a peace of mind knowing that our daughter is in good hands. The facility is very clean, convenient location for commuters, and the teachers are very knowledgeable. I'd recommend this facility to any parent looking for childcare.
