Our son attended preschool and pre-K here over the last two years and we had a wonderful…read moreexperience. The teachers were kind and caring, the center was clean, and our child genuinely loved coming here. It is hard to find a quality day care center, but this is definitely one of them! It is relatively affordable, especially for the high quality level of care. We loved how easy it was to communicate with his teachers and was a relief to know that he was in a fun and nurturing environment while we worked. His teachers got to know us and our child and found individual ways to connect with him, and foster growth both socially and academically. He's moving on to Kindergarten but we will definitely consider this KinderCare for our next child and for summer needs. Stephanie and Miranda have a great operation here, and we definitely recommend it!

My partner and i arrived for a tour, unannounced. We were asked to wait at the door- holding the…read moredoor open staff came through didn't acknowledge us at all. Once we were asked in, no one asked our names or introduced themselves. the enrollment coordinator walked us through the center, no clear answers to questions about curriculum, teacher retention or did she ask us any questions about what we were looking for etc. the one thing she did say off the bat is that while they do accept DSHS they do not accept children from CPS. Seems a little like discrimination to me... children need a place that they can feel safe in. not sure i would enroll based on the fact that the person giving the tour did not take the time to get some information about us or trey to build that connection with us. Must not want that enrollment that bad.

We were here 5 months 2 days/week infant care and paid $1172/month (tuition increased as of…read more9/1/23). Pros: -self-selected auto-pay schedule -classroom cameras -parent messaging app with picture/video capabilities -cute artwork/crafts -Ms. Vivian (floater) is AMAZING! My son loved her! -Ms. Alaina was great (she has left) -polite and friendly staff Cons: -lack of active supervision= safety concerns. We walked in on another child, ~2 months older, crawling on my then immobile son, who was trapped in a boppy while teachers reorganized cubbies on the other side of the room. On his last day, a child walked up and took all the toys (~5) he was playing with. Then another child (same child as first incident) crawled on top of him, sat on his waist/upper thighs and repeatedly hit his belly ~6 times. An adult was sitting less than 5 feet away and did not intervene, presumably because she did not see it. The child crawled away independently, and I picked my son up early. He did not have any marks on him, or I would have brought it to administration's attention. -communication: I made the mistake of thinking a parent app with opportunities to input meals/diaper changes, message and share pictures/video meant that we would have positive, strong communication. Responses are usually delayed, if received at all, parent requests are not necessarily honored, etc. As a former teacher, I tried to be up front about things going on at home (ie job changes, returning to work, sleep changes/training, etc.), but was met with judgement and push back which I found disappointing and off-putting. I'm paying for daycare, not parenting advice. Daily reports had some inaccuries as to number of feedings (i.e., report says ate 4 times but only sent 5 bottles and 2 sent back unused) and type of milk given (i.e., said my exclusively breastfed baby was given formula then after switching to formula said given breastmilk); however, staff assured me these were reporting errors only and he received only the bottles we sent. -school-like, rigid environment: no drop offs after 10 AM, progress reports though no staff training/education, etc. My baby isn't developmentally ready for school; he's 7 months old. If he needs to take his first nap at home and come in late, he should be able to. Also, I work from home, if I have meetings and cannot drop off until later in the morning, I shouldn't have to ask for permission to bring him late. I pay for the day, whether he comes in or not, so I should be able to bring him in when it's best for us. -This is a business and it feels like it. They nickel and dime you everywhere, you have to provide your own gloves for diaper changes for goodness sakes! -Staff are asked to do too much. My son started daycare at 10 weeks old. We don't have family in the area, so daycare was the first time our son was consistently separated from us, and it obviously caused him some distress. We would pick him up, his eyes/face would be red, puffy, and splotchy. He refused to sleep much and started losing weight from not eating enough. Nearly every time we logged onto the cameras, he was alone in a dark corner on the opposite side of the room from the adults or other children. I thought it would get better, but it went on for ~2 months. Eventually, he started throwing major fits any time we put him in his carseat, and he's usually a very happy baby. This month, a new baby started in his class. Almost every time, except 1-2 times, I walked in, this baby's screaming. He's ~3-4 months, and almost never was he held or picked up unless I commented on how sad he was or talked to him. One time, I stopped to pick up something my husband forgot, and the teacher couldn't hear me knocking in the door over the baby crying, so I walked in. The baby was in the bouncer, next to the counter (he was out of the camera's view), while the teacher did something on the counter with her back to the baby. Upon hearing the door's bell and seeing me, the teacher whipped around and started talking to the baby and bouncing the bouncer. I now know that they left my son to cry alone for God knows how long but would pick him up before we got there which is why his face was always swollen n puffy but he wasn't actually crying. In some ways, I'm unbelievably angry with the staff for treating babies this way. On the other hand, I know they are short-staffed and asked to do way too much. I would have preferred not to receive a "progress report" or fewer cutesy crafts and had my son's emotional needs met. We are now at an in-home daycare where my son is very well cared for. He sleeps 2 hours consecutively (the longest he ever slept at Kids n Us was 40 minutes), he eats all his purees/solids and drinks 12-20 oz (was picking at purees, drank less than 10 oz consistently at Kids n Us). I've heard great things about Kids n Us and really wanted to have a positive experience. Unfortunately, our experience was being charged a premium price for mediocre care.

Liz always responded to all of my emails within one business day (Usually same day), and they use an app called Brightwheel that the staff use to communicate for all things school-related.

My son has a speech delay and he came home after 2 days singing the alphabet and counting to ten. It was amazing. Their prices were competitive and availability/flexibility was unmatched. Everyone was so kind and the kids have plenty of room to play outside while also being kept safe.

Each age group has their own classroom and multiple teachers so the kids are with peers their own age. They are very engaging with many different activities throughout the day/week/month to keep the kids happy, busy, active and always learning or doing something new. They provide quality food with a lot of variety and a good, healthy balance. There is a nice outdoor play area (partially undercover) that also gets natural shade during the hottest part of the day. Recently they started using a cool app for faculty and parents only which allows them to provide updates throughout the day - everything from what the kids are doing to what they are eating and (opt-in if you want) photos of your kids! It's nice to feel connected during the day even though we're away from our kiddos while working. They have an iPad at pickup and drop-off where you can use a QR code on your phone to check your child in or out "hands-free" which is very helpful these days. They do everything by the book from class size ratios to sunscreen authorization forms, you name it, they adhere to state and local policies. Tuition usually goes up once annually but that is typical with rising costs of everything, living wage increases and food costs in WA state. I'm so glad we found this awesome preschool when we did.

We were told his stools were normal and that he is healthy and presented a letter to the Kinder team. Which wasn't enough because we still got reported his stools were loose and had to take him home from care. The worst part about all of this is that they lied or reporting on one of his bowel movements, saying he had repeated loose watery stools. They provided pictures of the first one and reported that he had another one within the same hour and showed a picture of the same diaper. We also had this confirmed with an former employee that they reported the same diaper twice so that we would have to come get him due to diarrhea. It seems like their main goal is to come up with any excuse of you having to pick your child up from their care. My main gripe is that they clearly lied to us about a bowel moment, and if they can so easily lie about that who knows what else they could be lying about.

Everyone seemed very nice and although everyone was masked and provided appropriate safety measures on the tour, my child's teacher and at least two other individuals that work here do not believe in wearing a mask to protect the vulnerable children during this deadly pandemic. We had to un-enroll her after just two days here. To me, this demonstrated a poor lack of judgment among other things. Why wouldn't you want to protect the children you're teaching? I spoke with the director and she apologized and refunded all of our money. The issue with the staff not masking is complicated as they claimed a religious exemption to masking (which isn't a real thing)! We're two years into his pandemic. Wearing a mask isn't hard. I'm a nurse and wear one all day while caring for patients. It's not hard to protect yourself and others. It amazes me that I even have to write this right now but I want others to be aware before enrolling here in case keeping their children safe at preschool is a concern for them.
