I enrolled my kids in this location about 2 years ago. My kids and I have had an awesome experience in there. Teachers in there are very engaged and make sure get the best care for the children's well being. During this Pandemic, long distance schooling put myself and kids in so much confusion and stress, however I am so thankful that all the teacher are doing a amazing job to ensure all children get engage with online learning. In addition, they provide feedback for each child to parents and let the parents know how they did in school. Thank you for practicing proper hygiene , be caution for children's well being and keep the children and the communities safe I am thankful with all the help during this uncertainty. read more

Update to a prior review, my kid has been there for one year now and has had over 6 main teachers. turnover is so frequent and there is little consistency to staff. there is new management who has not taken a second to introduce herself and i have no idea what's going on at this daycare anymore. if you are looking for a daycare, i sadly would not recommend this one. read more

Our son has been going to this Kindercare for over 2 years. He is currently in the 3s class. We have had a number of teachers over his time, Ms.Liz is the best thing to have ever happened to this facility! She is the sweetest, most gentle, genuine teacher. She really takes her time with each child and develops a real relationship with them so she can better guide them and they then receive her guidance better. She cares so much and you can really feel that as a parent. It's not just a job to her. She gives her time and attention to these children and it's not an easy task to do, but she goes above and beyond! Kindercare is so lucky to have her and we are so lucky to have her at this crucial developmental part in our child's life! Thank you Ms. Liz for everything you do! read more

I cannot say enough about the care my son has received here. He's autistic and was misunderstood at other preschools. Parveen (director) has been the most amazing person I've ever worked with and treats him like I would! All of the staff are absolutely incredible 6 stars! read more

Overcharges, lots of ridiculous extra fees. You have to pay to re-register your children when summer comes, they find anyway to try to take as much money as they can. read more

KinderCare at Natoma Station is magical! The staff are absolutely wonderful. They have bent over backwards to ensure that my son has the absolute best care and learning experience. The staff at KinderCare Natoma Station are dedicated, patient and provide a safe and kind learning environment. My son has flourished here. read more

I seriously couldn't ask for a better place for my child. He excels being here while i'm at work. I love the staff so very much!! They are part of my family! It's been over a year now and i wouldn't change anything in the world about this place read more

I have seen two other centers in addition to this one; antelope and vintage road. Of the three this one is leaps and bounds better than all of them. They truly provide quality care. My son had a speech delay when starting with the center after already spending almost a year at the antelope center. Within 2 months at the Natoma station center my son was communicating frequently and clearly. They work with him individually going over reading and writing. The center is always clean and being cleaned. The staff are all wonderful. By far the best child care experience I have ever endured. I highly recommend this center. The sister centers are more like distant cousins in comparison. read more

I am going to get serous when i say I LOVE this center. My kids have gone to 2 other KinderCares those were both very nice. I had enrolled my 2 boys here after a teacher at kids camp down the street physically abused my child. But that's a hole different review. Coming here was a big change for my kids and they never once felt outta place. They were treated and greeted by a very happy upbeat staff. Coming from a mother a 3 boys 6,3 and infant i am running thru the hall daily. I have seen the ins and outs of the center, as i come in on my lunch break to feed my infant son. School age/TK class. My oldest son loves it here. He communicates the best and when i ask him about his day he is always excited and happy. He rides the bus to elementary school and i have followed the bus on occasions. They are safe drivers always aware of the surroundings, minding all speed limits and safety. ( yes i have followed the bus) My 3 year old went to both 2s and preschool class. He is more of a hand full and was previously hurt at the kids camp center down the street. His teacher in both 2s and 3s have been noting but patient with my son. He isn't afraid to go there he comes back with stories from his day. The friends he has made and the teachers who are always kind to him. My 3 year old has learned meditation, ABCS, colors, shapes,days of the week, and fun songs. It truly brightens his day, going to class. The teachers (Millicent and MR. Austin have no problem coming to you with a concern, a issue or just a praising a good day. They are very easy to communicate with. My infant son has been there since he was 8 weeks old. As a mother with a new born, you are always in fear of whether your baby will be loved how you expect. YOU GET THAT LOVE HERE!!!! My son has NEVER came home wet, stinky, dirty he has NEVER had a diaper rash nor developed one. The infant teacher Mrs. Michelle is so kind and patient and loving. She certainly cares for the babies like they are her own. Mind you i do stop in almost every day to nurse my baby i always see her Doing her best with all the babies. I praise her for the job she has and how she handles it so well. I completely trust her with my son. There are rules in place per licensing and child safety and i always see them in full force here. Even the infants helpers like Miss Emily, Baylee and Mayree. They take the time to let you know their day, cute things they did anything and everything. The Ladies up front, they have always made it easy for me with drop offs and pick ups. They are always in well communication with each other and take parents/ kids concerns seriously. If you are a parent looking to send your kid to after school class a preschool class or even a infant. Take it from the mother that has 3 crazy boys and have found them a place to expand their mind, their imagination, and feel loved as if i was there. I have been to a handful of centers and have finally found the home away from home for my boys. read more

Friendly staff, service with a smile, clean and safe environment. My child loves his teachers and they do a great job looking after him. He looks forward to going to school everyday and that says a lot. He is a very active and creative child. So he needs to be engaged within a stimulating environment that is age appropriate. He learns a lot of valuable information that will help him to prepare for school. I'm glad I chose this KinderCare. read more

KinderCare at Natoma Station - Special visit from a fire fighter. - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Folsom, California

This review is long overdue because my child has been at KinderCare for about 3 years now and this location, as well as the entire company has done an AMAZING job the entire time we've been with them. I first toured the center with Assistant Director Maria, who had only been with this location for a short period at that time and she had me sold with her bubbly and vivacious personality! She definitely set the tone for the center and I have not been disappointed. Of course ALL the staff has been great... always friendly, personable and genuine. The entire staff has done an AMAZING job of getting to know my child and our family, understanding our needs in order for my child to grow and develop, both educationally and as an individual. The programs and curriculum they offer and follow have definitely helped prepare my child for school. My child recently started Kindergarten and is doing well and knows all of the material so far! Over the past few months I have gained an even greater amount of appreciation for KinderCare and the staff, which is what sparked this review. Even with all of the pandemic craziness and constant changes, the staff rolled with the punches and handled everything well. Even though the center has always been very clean and practiced good hygiene already, they continued to enhance and implement more safety measures to keep children and their families safe and healthy during this time. I am so grateful to have the support of KinderCare, especially now with the implementation of distant learning. My child (along with the other school-age children) takes the laptop and schoolwork to KinderCare and the staff assist with tasks / assignments each day. Without them I do not know how I would work and help with distant learning. For one day I experienced working from home while assisting with distant learning and there were definitely some bumps. So kudos to all the staff helping multiple students from multiple schools at the same time! One staff member in particular has gone above and beyond. Ms. Paige has been a great supporter for me and has picked up my child's schoolwork packet from the elementary school when she picks up her child's since they are luckily in the same class. All the support from the company and every staff member has been much needed during this crazy time. Big thank you to KinderCare and ALL of the Natoma Station staff! read more

I have had 2 children at KinderCare Natoma Station and so far I am loving it. We originally came from a place that we LOVED and this is as close as I can to a similar place. I love that the children get to play outside in real grass and dirt rather than just concrete or synthetic grass turf. The class sizes at times can get full so the children get shuttled to other rooms to accommodate but I have only noticed this in the summer time when staff are taking vacations and whatnot. The teachers/staff are caring and my children love the people they interact with. Overall, I would highly recommend others to this location and am willing to answer questions if anyone has any. read more

Most teachers don't care for the kids. Kids run/play around while the teachers gathered together and chatted away. If the kid was sick, his/her nose is not wiped until the parents show up to pick the kid up. Many times the mucus was thick and dry around the kids mouth. Some others teachers acted up in front of parents. When the parents arrived for collecting the kid, they would try to shower kisses/love on the kid. It was so fake and made up. The condition of other kids explained the real story. Check google reviews. One other parent left a truthful, bad review. A person who serves in administrative capacity in this institution and whose son also goes to this daycare, left a fake, glowing review in return. Such a big conflict of interest. I often found this person taking care of her son. This daycare was better earlier. They have forgotten their heart and soul - caring and genuine love for children. They need to start there to make it better. read more

Overall really disappointing. I would never send my son back here. My son is 11 months old and we started there a week ago. I only let him stay for 2 days before I pulled him out. We really liked the kindercare in elk grove on vintage road and toured here and although it was hectic at first I gave them the benefit of the doubt and decided to give them a try. Let me just say his basic needs were not met. I filled out around 4 forms in regards to his eating, napping, and any other info/habits they need to be aware of. I also filled out in person the medication form (for diaper rash cream) and gave it to them and told them he needs it applied every diaper change. I also gave them tons of bibs and clothes and told them he is a crazy eater so please change him or make him put a bib on when eating. The first day i got there, the assistant director was calling my son by the wrong name, and she was calling the staff by the wrong name as well, that is just sad, she couldn't take two seconds to listen to the new child's name or take the time to know her own staff? Granted she was new but i would still expect her to take the time to do this. In addition, the 4 to 1 ratio was not being put into place. There were 9 babies (10 including my son) and the assistant director and one other teacher in the room. It took them about an hour to get another teacher to come over and help. On his first day i called to check up on him and they said he wouldn't fall asleep in their arms so he hadn't napped. I told them i wrote on all the forms that he does not like to be rocked to sleep. If you put him down in the crib he will put himself to sleep. The teacher said oh thats good to know but i told her i had written that information on all the forms and told the teacher the day before in person about this. Later my dad checked in on him and he sent me a picture of him eating. He did not have a bib on, which is fine. However, when he got home he had the same shirt on covered in food and wet from drinking milk and he had been that way the whole day! The second day i sent him with prunes and wrote on his daily information sheet that he was constipated and to please give one prune with every meal. He came home with the same amount of prunes, so they don't even read the daily sheet. Why do i need to fill this out if they don't even bother to read it? On top of that, he had a bad rash by day two from no diaper cream for two whole days to the point where it was scabbing. Anyone that cares for children should have called me to ask if i wanted cream applied for the sake of his comfort and well being, not to mention that was a medication form so thank goodness he didn't need any medications that they would have failed to give him. There was no mention though and I saw it when i changed him at home and it was the worst i have ever seen. The stars are for Candice who i liked a lot, she was the only teacher that seemed to care about my son, and the director because she did listen when i told her about my complaints, however, i did not decide to stick around to find out if they would actually listen or not because to me, those are all basic needs that should be met at every daycare and if those are a problem i can only imagine what else would be a problem later on. read more

We have had both of our children at KinderCare At Natoma Station since June of 2013. They have been nothing short of amazing with our kids. They truly seem to care about each child and make connections with them. The curriculum is appropriate to each child's age and comprehension level, and the kids are always talking about the fun extra-curricular stuff they get to do as well. These range from Visits from traveling petting zoos, to bounce houses, to snow cone trucks, to the Piano man who comes and sings to them, to Buzz Lightyear stopping by! We would recommend KinderCare at Natoma Station without hesitation to anyone who asks! :-) read more

This place is HORRIBLE my daughter was going here since she was 4 months old when Chris was here. But now she's 2 and sadly going downhill.. it's all about the money. I don't mind sharing my story because I don't want any parent to go through what I have with Frances and Parveen. I get help to pay for child care with something called child action but I still have a copayment which is not normal with program I'm on. In a meeting I had with Frances she said to me that they don't like to do business with child action due to issues with the co payments and I feel that if they think their place is too good for the regular everyday families that don't have 6 figure jobs they shouldn't be contracted with child action. They talk about your PRIVATE financial situation ANYWHERE aloud and basically embrasses you. Frances would say things like " You got money for me" right when I walk in the door holding my child and other parents and employees are around. They have called me 5x while I'm working over a $20 late fee and told me either I bring a 20 check right that second or they were sending my daughter home! When I told them I could bring it when I picked her up they told me No ! I'm a single parent I'm 22 years old and I do my very best to pay every time just maybe late but I always pay and the late fees. They lie and say I owe ridiculous amounts and I have to get others involved to prove I'm right in multiple situations they just obviously don't care about the people who has been going there for years or the children. I wouldn't recommend it. As far as the teachers they are great but definitely over worked and under appreciated but they do their best. read more

The facility is nice and clean. They feed the kids nutritious meals and snacks. The staff are very friendly and fun. They really take the time to get to know each and every child. My daughter participated in the summer program and she enjoyed all the field trips and activities they had planned. read more

The staff here is amazing. Totally put my mind at ease and my son loves going to "school" everyday. My son has been attending since he was 1 and is now 3.5! I am so glad I chose this daycare. We drive a little but further just to go to this location when we have another kindercare by our home. read more

We have been going to KinderCare for a few years now. The staff is not only friendly but happy to be there daily. I feel comfortable leaving my son knowing he will be loved and care for while I work. Ms. Julie, the pre-k teacher is very caring and really has set my child up for kindergarten very well. read more

We were there for a little over two years. The first part was great. But we were seeing a lot of teacher changes. I can imagine due to the stress and importance of this job it comes with the territory. By my child's last class it was different. Too many kids, one teacher and the class cleanliness and quality took a back seat. I'm only writing this because recently my child (years since they were at the school) mentioned as we were driving, that's the direction to my old school where "teacher" hurt me. My child's arm was pulled hard enough to pop it out of the joint. My child was seen unable to move their arm preceding the phone call to me. This resulted in an er visit. Luckily they were able to just pop it back. We had a follow up dr appt where they took an X-ray and worried my child had a fracture. We were then sent to a specialist who felt it was very minimal if anything (there was a shadow) My husband and I took a week off of work. The reason for it didn't justify the reaction by the teacher. The month that followed was a hot mess. You may wonder why we didn't leave immediately. Looking back I do too. But mistakes happen. I don't believe there was intent. This could happen with a baby sitter, a grand parent or even you. This could happen swinging your child around in play. I tried to understand but the relationship faltered. I had my child moved to a different class to help remove her from another child (part of the first problem) who they had a toxic relationship with (they kept biting each other) and the teacher but by the end I was treated as a pariah (like they were constantly worried I would sue) and my child treated differently. After some poor words from another teacher during after school care I grabbed my child, told the director we were done and left with tears pouring. She said nothing as I caught her in a meeting with prospective parents. I requested a copy of the incident reported to licensing. It was incomplete so I assume never reported because the she had seemed very nervous when I asked for it. The director ignored me for two weeks following our leaving then called me on a Sunday morning apologizing profusely. I was almost dead in response and pretty much said her words, now two weeks later, meant nothing. I washed my hands and moved on. The director in the initial meeting stated she didn't understand the reaction of the teacher yet stated other words to pad the report. You have a "school" that looks good. But training... probably the biggest thing lacking from this "school" and my situation should have resulted in a lot of follow up training. The district manager talked to us one time and said our week out was free. Like that was my top concern. Any way, I'm writing this years later purely to say even at a young age actions stick with the child, and apparently the parent. I had hoped my child would forget. They haven't. Sometimes they add little tidbits that the teacher and director never shared. It increases the guilt of my failure to not pull my child right after it happened. I'm also writing this because if you notice all the reviews are from the same period. They gave a $20 credit for each review. It just feels dirty. read more

My son Ian is in the pre-k program and has been attending kinderCare for about 2.5 years and we just love it. Everyone is so friendly and they love what they do. My son was so shy at first around people and now he is a social butterfly. Miss. Lisa and Miss. Jessica is his teachers and they ROCK!! Thank you read more
