Both of my daughters came up through Kindercare. The staff at Oakton was fantastic and we truly feel lucky to have found such caring people at a center so close to our home. Highly recommend Oakton Kindercare to anyone considering their services. read more

We have been attending KinderCare in Oakton since June 2020. My now 2.5 year and 4 month old attend and have had the best experience with the teachers. in the wake of COVID, KinderCare staff and teachers have been incredible communicators even though in-person interaction is limited. Our son's teachers do a great job of adding photos, videos, and updates (meals and activities) throughout the day. My 2.5 year old's social interactions have improved over the last year and it's been thanks to the wonderful teachers and staff here. Thank you for taking care of our little boys and showing them love, empathy, and caring for them day in and out. Special thanks to Ms. Hanneli, Ms. Mina, Ms. Tawos, Ms. Alice, and the fantastic staff, Ms. Wendy, Ms. Kaitlin, and Ms. Betsy. read more

My son went to KinderCare for more than five years and we had a great experience. The teachers there are very caring and my son learned a lot while attending their toddler A class through transitional kindergarten. The center director Ms. Wendy and assistant director Ms. Kaitlin respond to any concerns very quickly and appropriately. My son and us miss the school and staff there very much. read more

Kindercare Oakton is the BEST! My daughter, who is almost 5, has been there since she was a baby and now my son goes there (6 months). It is nice to have the same teachers in the baby room that my daughter had, which makes me feel so good that they have well trained teachers AND treat their staff well that they want to stay for many years. The love they poor into my children is beyond what I could have ever imagined. My daughter is learning a ton and we get updates via email on curriculums for the month and things we can do to help her at home too. She comes home telling us about different country flags, weather patterns and healthy eating. About a year ago they added an app so now i get updates during the day on activities she is doing (videos, pictures etc) My son giggles when we drop him off and loves the teachers. They have figured out how to keep babies happy (even with scary masks on) and he is on a consistent eating/napping/playing schedule which makes weekends so much easier for me. The Center is taking Covid very seriously too. I have seen staff wiping down the playground in the middle of the day. Drop off and pick up are all done outside and temperature checks are done on all children before entering the building. Parents wear masks at drop off and pick up and keep our distance from one another. The teachers all have masks on the entire day and my daughter tells me the teachers make sure that every kid washes their hands for at least 20 seconds, and can tell me the many times during the day this is required ("when i come to class, before outside, after outside, before eating. After eating"...so on) I feel comfortable that all precautions possible are being taken here to protect my children. I wouldn't have them go anywhere else! Wendy and Kaitlin are amazing! read more

My very active and somewhat boisterous 4 year old has been at Oakton Kindercare for almost twelve months. These people are saints and do a fantastic job. Every day. Flynn is kept busy and the activities are well planned and age appropriate. The staff are extremely loving and compassionate as well. Everyone who works here, including the administrative staff are not only professional, but they go the extra mile to make you and your kids feel like you are part of a family. When my son has been hurt or is sick, they call immediately. Communication is excellent and you never feel like they are keeping things from you or that your child is being neglected. A wonderful, wonderful place that will give your child a fabulous start. Don't look anywhere else. read more

I have to give a shout out to Oakton Kindercare for preparing my daughter for school as well as they did. As we are now submerged in distance learning during the pandemic I realize how difficult it is to keep a child engaged and focused. Although my teaching abilities are not the best, our child is doing great because of the great base she obtained while at Kindercare from 18 months old until starting Kindergarten. Additionally, the staff was always very friendly and accommodating. read more

If you're looking for a daycare/preschool center with excellent care, communication, and professionalism - OAKTON KINDERCARE IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU! I was very excited to enroll my son into an educational based program to get him a start on preparing for kindergarten next year. Your staff even could offer a phonics program for just $25/week! I knew after touring the facility, speaking with staff, and what Kindercare could offer my son I had made the right choice! However, the phonics program I then find out is no longer being offered, or is being put on hold due to lack of staff. Did KinderCare notify me? No, they did not. KinderCare continued to charge and collect money from me weekly for a service they were not providing. I found out weeks later I had been paying for services not rendered. Then the phonics teacher, which is now their new "kitchen lady" approached me in the parking lot apologizing and admitted herself I should have been notified when I was still paying for Phonics and my son was not getting it. Additionally, I did not appreciate Emily's response when confronted about my son being at school the whole day with a fever of 102, and no phone calls or emails to me about it. As someone in charge of a daycare's operations, I am disappointed in their inability to take fault for their own lack of actions but turning it around on the mother of the child, and a client of their company's. When I mentioned the fact that he had a fever of 102 degrees when I arrived home, Emily's response was, if I were so concerned about it why didn't I email her when I got home? That is very unprofessional. The lack of communication and staffing at this center is causing many issues that KinderCare needs to address immediately. My son urinating in his clothes, bumping his head hard enough to cause a black eye and not properly reporting it to me, fevers going unnoticed and illegally charging clients for services not rendered is happening because they are understaffed and poorly managed. These are children they are responsible for, and they need to start conducting their center that way. read more

My 2 daughters have been going here for the last 4 years. It is an excellent day care and preschool. The teachers and staff are highly skilled and professional and have done an excellent job nurturing and caring for my children. We are very happy with Oakton KinderCare and my children are thriving in this environment. read more

Kindercare has wonderful teachers that take great care of the kids.  I was very nervous about sending my kids to daycare, but they totally put me at ease.  My mom was also a preschool teacher and was so impressed when she saw the center.  Great teacher-student ratios, good curriculum, etc.  I have 2 boys.  I felt like all of the teachers knew their names, everyone knew that they were siblings.  Great family atmosphere.  Highly recommend! read more

Our kids have been at Oakton Kindercare for about a year and a half, and so far, we've been very happy with the care and instruction at this daycare. The teachers are very loving, and it's obvious that they adore our kids. It took our kids some time to adjust to being at the center and be comfortable with drop offs, as they used to have a nanny, but throughout that transition time, the teachers were so patient and helpful in trying to welcome our kids and make them feel comfortable. We have had a couple instances where we've had to follow-up with the director or others in the administrative office, but they've always had an open door and are always willing and wanting to hear feedback/communication from the parents. Another reviewer here mentioned some issues with administration/billing, and we also experienced something similar, but after talking to the director, everything was explained and easily worked out. The same reviewer also mentioned not being informed about a fever or other incidents, and thankfully that has not been our experience. We are always called when our kids aren't feeling well, and if they've ever had a temperature above 101 (and they always round up!), the center always calls and asks us to pick up our sick child. We've also had other instances where our kids have had minor accidents or whatnot, and we're always informed and given a full write up about the incident. One other reviewer made a comment about the smell inside the center, and I found that kind of humorous because I definitely had the same thoughts the first time we visited the center and took a tour! I do think that there are some "smells" in the infant and toddler rooms, but I've moved passed it because those kids are still in diapers, so I'm not sure what more can be done about the smell. As the kids move up in the classrooms and are potty trained, there aren't any smells in the older kids' classrooms. Overall, we've been very happy with Oakton Kindercare! read more

We switched to Oakton KC from another local daycare center 18 months ago when our daughter was 11 months old. The difference between the two centers was evident immediately, and we have been very happy at Oakton ever since. The staff and teachers are amazing and clearly love our kids (we enrolled our infant son 6 months ago), and our kids love going to "school." The center is clean and bright, and the administration is top-notch (the biggest difference between Oakton KC and our previous center). We get weekly emails from the director that include the upcoming week's schedule, curriculum, and menu, but also include notes about individual children reaching various milestones, which is an extra touch that my husband and I really enjoy (and not just when our kids are mentioned; we love seeing how their friends are doing, too!). We get daily communication from our kids' teachers about what they are learning and anything special they did that day. To speak to another reviewer's comments, we are also notified immediately about any fevers or illnesses and have always received incident reports any time our daughter has been involved in an altercation with a classmate and received an injury (usually a biting incident). The administration is always available to hear any concerns we have and is very proactive about helping us find ways to resolve them. In 18 months, we've had a handful of billing issues arise and they are always resolved quickly and easily. Monthly Parents Nights Out give my husband and me the opportunity to have a date night while our kids get a special night with their friends and teachers for less than we'd spend on a baby-sitter. We also enjoy attending family nights at the center, which allow us to spend time with other teachers and parents that we don't get to interact with regularly. Our children's days are filled with play, art, music, dancing, and reading, shared with their friends and led by caring, loving staff. There's not much more I could ask for, really. We feel very confident leaving our kids at Oakton KC. The only "negative" I can think of is that there is a fair bit of traffic around the center, particularly in the evenings, which can make getting to pick-up and getting back out of the parking lot a bit more time-consuming. But that is a small price to pay for the smiles on my baby's face when he sees his teachers and to hear my daughter tell me excitedly all about what she and her friends did that day. read more

My son has attended Oakton KinderCare for two years, since he was four months old, and he has thrived since day one. His teachers clearly love him but have also been great about giving him structure and understanding of being a responsible person. He's been putting his trash in the garbage can since he was 18 months and has never tried to play with the garbage. He knows when to say please, thank you and sorry, as well as how to clean up after playing. We looked at several other daycares before deciding on Oakton KinderCare and the difference was stark. The other centers had obvious safety violations on the day that we toured them and we just wouldn't have felt safe leaving our child at any of them. read more

Kindercare in Oakton has been the only daycare that my children have been to. We have had a child there since 2011. Currently, the leadership is stable and communicative. The center is decorated and it went through accreditation and earned it. It would be great if the corporate folks would provide new windows and landscaping. They also need to renovate to expand for another classroom. The teachers care about my daughters and I know they would protect them in an emergency. That's all you can ask for. read more

Just touring the place resulted in the need to immediately return home and take a shower. It smells like a 3rd rate Medicaid nursing home. Kids running around and screaming uncontrollably. Not even giving this place a second thought. read more

We are so lucky and grateful for the support of the teachers and management of KinderCare Oakton. Since our children were babies, they have received a lot of love and one-on-one attention. We have open communication with the teachers, management and the rest of the staff. Whenever a teacher has a concern about one of our children, we're notified right away. They help us find solutions to problems and care about how the kids are progressing. The preschool curriculum is structured, but caters to the individual learning styles of our kids. The enrichment classes (classes with just a few students) allow our daughter to review what she has learned in phonics and math. The school is accredited, which gives me some extra comfort that we have made the right decision to keep them where they are happy. read more

We toured a few of the top daycare schools in the area & decided on this one. The director, Emily, was very kind & welcoming; we absolutely loved that the school was clean, safe & fun for the kids! All the educators/staff are super friendly and patient, which is something I really appreciate, as they are influencing my children in such a positive way. It's been almost a year & I can't say enough positive things about this location! You can tell off the bat, that this location is ran very professionally, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a daycare in this area! read more
