Parents, be aware! I withdrew my daughter from the school because I was concerned for her safety. She attended 3 months and during that time I witnessed: rough handling of children (jerking by one arm, forcing a child to seat on a chair)  emotional abuse (extended ignoring of a child: he was restrained in a chair and eating alone in a corner of the classroom. When he finished eating, he stayed there playing with the food and the plate for an hour at least. Nobody approached him and asked if he was ok or ready to come back to the class) inappropriate discipline techniques (active play was withheld from a child for more than an hour) inadequate sanitary conditions (not disinfecting diaper changing surface after each use, very dirty garbage can, children with dirty hands and face every day, no paper towel and toilet paper available in several instances). I discussed these issues with the director, Ms Agudelo, who said the children who were being disciplined this way were "special" kids. That's not an excuse for mistreatment and abuse! Ms Misty (the two-year-olds teacher) even did these things in front of me and other parents. I can't imagine what they do to the kids when parents are not there. I am also a teacher and I trusted her and Kindercare in Plantation to take care of my 2 year-old daughter. Please, take your child elsewhere! read more

*warning this is a very detailed 5 year review* The quality of education at this center has deteriorated drastically. From the leaky water run off at the entrance of the building roof, to the J-Rigged A/C hose hanging out of the window in the front of the building. But Today was the most foul of all. I walked into the school at 1735 to pick up my son after receiving a missed call from the school at 1658 this afternoon. To my surprise I turned to see my 5 year old sitting on the FLOOR IN THE FRONT OFFICE in PLAIN VIEW and DIRECT FOOTPATH OF THE FRONT DOOR, other teachers and children saying their goodbyes to the DIRECTOR MS SHAY & the PEMBROKE PINES DIRECTOR MS JULIE (who were both sitting in the office ON CHAIRS whilst my child was instructed to sit on the floor.) After exchanging words about my son being on the floor with numerous chairs around & the deterioration of the children's behaviors since this very frail new teacher who displays no form of authority has been established, and since this center has begun to see an increasingly high turnaround rate she refused to acknowledge the fact that there is NO STRUCTURE within the VPK classroom due to this conflict. (Which she admitted to my sons father a week prior). However, She suddenly caught amnesia ‍ I asked her if this new frail teacher is the problem or is my son the problem? She looked down at my son (who's still sitting) and looked up at me and said "He's the problem" with the stinkiest attitude festering in her throat. Let's start here , My child has attended this school since the age of 6 months and has never been treated with such disrespect by another human more than this school has today. This school has gone from prestigious to dumpster fire. The teacher my child had was named Ms Alisha and from the moment she left -my child has not been given homework ,let alone a stable curriculum in class all they do is COLOR. Ms Alisha single-handedly had to be the best teacher to bless this schools existence. I say this with numerous parents to back this up because when she left they pulled their kids. The teachers here know my child and since Ms Jennifer left - this school has gone DOWNHILL. MS SHAY IS THE MOST WISHY WASHY DOUBLE EDGED SNAKE THERE. She will twist stories and jump to the highest degree of punitive measures ! For example, the constant nagging the parent about normal toddler behavior then expecting the parent to leave their job at moments notice to pick up their child when they could've handled the situation if they were properly trained. My child was blamed for saying an expletive in the class and to my surprise as any parent you honestly wonder where did my child learn this behavior , and you're lead to believe your child is a growing problem only to hear from MS SHAYS MOUTH THE NEXT DAY that it was something stated by another child in class the week PRIOR who the expelled! How will a child behave when there are 18 other children competing for the attention from the ONE TEACHER ?? They pry these surveys down your throat and tell you to give them good reviews right after some form of negligence so you can cover for them. When something happens to your child no one knows how he got gashed, or how every week he's coming home with new scratches, or how he's coming home with behavioral issues he's adapted from other kids! Or we could discuss WHY MY SON HAS BEEN SICK CONSTANTLY SINCE HES ATTENDED THIS SCHOOL. He's gotten every form of cold, flu, and respiratory issue (yes the vid too) you can think of at some point throughout his stay here and they pass it off as daycare sniffles. THE SINGLE REASON I have allowed my child to stay is because of the knowledge my son has gained from his teachers MS Cherry, and Ms Alisha who were personable and treated each child with care and love as if they were their own. I could go into detail about many more things and have receipts for every claim stated above too. Make sure you do your research before enrolling. read more

The headaches arent worth thirteen hundred dollars a month! Causing diaper rashes because you're too busy running your mouth with other parents like you're not at work and my child is screaming crying--MISS JUDIE! Picked my son up one day and he had a rock in his mouth! The facility is never clean, kids always getting sick, ants crawling on top of the cubbies, kids walking around with snotty noses they don't even care to clean them. Cubbies unorganized, constantly losing and misplacing wipes and diapers, AND they gave my son dirty cups. I went to check on his cubby myself and all his cups were dirty, one cup had days old milk in it I gagged when I opened it! I always had to call and find out what was going on with my son almost every other day. The excuses were oh the tablet is acting up or the teacher forgot. Teachers have the AUDACITY to catch an attitude when you call them out or report issues to the director. Mainly Miss Judie! This is MY child that I AM PAYING you to care for. These are CHILDREN, not rocks! If you don't want to be there, go work at McDonald's or go home and tend to your own children as if they are rocks! Ms Barbara was the only one there with COMMON SENSE. I would call her while I was at work to ask her to keep a special eye on my son. I knew when she left I had to take my son out of there and I did JUST that. If you're a first time mother or father, this is NOT the place for you or your child. You will have absolutely NO piece of mind. If you care about the well-being of your child(ren) this is NOT the place for you or them. See screenshots! read more

I have been with KinderCare Midtown for two months now. I cannot be happier with the level of care they provide to my baby. My 6 month old loves her teachers and is excited to every day. The daycare is clean. The app and teacher notes help keep me in touch with what's going on. I love it here. This is NOT the daycare where the 2 year old was left in the classroom. read more

We've been so thrilled to have our now 1 year at this KinderCare since he was 6 months old. The staff is like an extended family. They give regular feedbacks on how our kid is progressing and things we can do during difficult milestone times (teething has been interesting with 5 simultaneous eruptions). Hoping this place keeps its impressive hospitality and looking forward to its toddler curriculum. Shout out to Ms. Jen and Ms. misty. read more

We've had our daughter here since she was 7 months old (she's three now), and our son since 3 months (almost a year now). This place is great. Teachers are fantastic and have clearly bonded with our children to the point where it is difficult for us when they move them into the next class (to the next fantastic teacher). Teacher retention seems pretty good - our son is with two teachers that taught our daughter. Everyone here clearly cares for our children even outside of the teacher-student relationship and our kids are thriving. Our daughter is so bright and smart and that is a result of the educational value this Kindercare provides. I expect to see the same results with my son. read more

I have had my son at Kindercare since he was 6 months and feel as though he is in good hands. His first teacher Ms. Maria in the infant room means so much to him and our family. She is the first teacher in the morning he sees and he absolutely loves her. He is now 2 in the discovery preschool with Ms. Misty and loves his classroom. He is always engaged in various learning activities, the school has many events to encourage family involvement. Overall, I am very pleased with my experience. Ms. Jennifer in the front is awesome too. read more

Rude person whom ever answers the telephone. tells you the my are fully booked and to call again in a month or 2. Also 275 per kid weekly.

I could not imagine taking my children to any other center. They truly treat my two children like they are their own. We received pictures daily of them doing so many fun activities and they are always happy and smiling. In times like this it is extremely hard as a parent to find a place that not only watches your children, always has them doing fun activities, and gives you absolute piece of mind that they are in the BEST care possible!! Highly recommended if you are looking for an amazing place for your children. Ms. Jen and Ms. Misty are awesome! read more

Wonderful, caring teachers! Lots of parent involvement and great communication with families. I love that there is an app where photos and updates are posted about your child's day so you are kept in the loop. My son is excited to come to school everyday. Highly recommend. read more

I can not express how much we love KinderCare at this location! It's clean, safe and fun. My daughter is always engaged in an activity. There's story time, pretend play and educational games. Most importantly the staff make this place great. They are professionals that are very involved in every detail. They give my husband and I updates on their app about our daughters day (what she's had to eat, potty breaks) and extra notes pertaining to her class. I'd like to name everyone that works here and tell them thank you for providing us with a safe place for our daughter. Also, if ever you have a concern or questions, just call. They will listen and help the best they can. read more

My daughter has been attending Kindercare Midtown since she was 3 months old. She is now 3 and a half and ahead of others her same age. She has bonded with all of her teachers and some staff have become part of her extended family at this point. I am pleased with her knowledge level and abilities and most importantly, how her teachers care for her. It feels good to see that she is always excited about going to school. The school's hours there are flexible compared to other child care centers for working professionals as they are open until 6:30pm. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a safe and nurturing environment in the Plantation area. read more
