Since this is our youngest child, we've had experience with many other care settings to compare this to. Between Montessori schools and in home daycares, this has been the highest quality we've seen. This is a fantastic program & we have been impressed by the level of care by the teachers. Students develop strong bonds with their teachers and peers. Dramatic play is encouraged & there's a lot of opportunity for outdoor play. As educators, we have been impressed with the depth of the lesson plans. Each Sunday, we receive a very detailed lesson plan for what will be covered in the upcoming week. The thought put into this plan shows in the amount the children learn. Stop by and visit!

Being a first time parent, I wasn't sure what to expect with a public daycare.. having my daughter essentially cared for by strangers for 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week was worrisome as thats more time than I even get to spend with her.. however, Saira and the team of teachers and even Chef, have made a huge impact on our life in such a positive way That I will forever be grateful for!!! From day one of our orientation with Saira, to the first day we brought our daughter into the Infant room, all the way to the last day, when we had to take her out due to a family relocation/move...every day with Siara and her team, felt like they were my family! Not only did The staff/teachers make sure my daughter was cared for with love and care but they spent one on one time with her, teaching her a wide variety of categories that were essential for her core development at her age. I owe her confidence to every teacher she engaged with! There was never one second that I felt worried about her and that is the ultimate feeling any parent dreams of when others are caring for their children! Long story short, Primrose St. Louis park was a true blessing and are some of the most impactful people I have met This far in my life. That said- THANK YOU... Saira- for everything!! thank you for being a wonderful person and leader in a field so demanding and challenging. Thank you for helping me navigate my first year of parenthood outside of your everyday role. Your medical field experience, kind heart, and profound memory made a huge impact on me, and is a big factor in the trust I felt leaving our daughter everyday! You deserve more credit and acknowledgment than I'm sure youre currently receiving and hope your know you made an huge impact on my life! Thank you to the Infant room teachers - those who have been there for years (Ms. Joelle) and those who have moved on. you help care for these babies in such a nurturing way, helping them adjust into the world of chaos in a warm and loving environment! And thank you to the toddler room teachers- those who stepped in to help out and those who hold the ground in that room (aka ms. trinity "titi")! you all have made our daughter feel loved everyday, the second she walked towards her classroom, she would light up and be so excited to see you guys, even calling YOUR names out in the morning in the car on our ride there! and she only Knew about 10 words at that point.. 5 of them were your names!! And To Chef- thank YOU! thank you for keeping the kids belly's full with nutritious foods and most of all, thank you for your continued smiles and greetings in the morning hallway pass through. you always brightened my day! All in all- I can't say enough positive things about the staff, process, care, and overall atmosphere at this location. If you're lucky enough to get a spot, i promise your children will be in great hands! Forever grateful for all of you! THANK YOU For all you do! -Grace and her parents miss you dearly!

As assistant director here, I get to watch many teachers fall inlove with their job. Here are a…read morecouple of reviews: I am here to collectively collaborate to share ideas and to help children become self-confident, cooperative, and ready for school age learning in elementary school. To teach children and help them learn the curriculum. To assess students in their academic levels and assist them and challenge them. To be positive, help students to be self-confident, cooperative and ready for future school experiences! I work here to grow my knowledge with kids. I welcome families with smile on my face to show the kids parents that we are reliable and loving teachers. I am working here to gain experience in teaching and childcare. I believe that children are the future and we must allow them to grow and learn to their fullest extent. The opportunity to help shape the generations to come is a huge honor and an equally huge responsibility. I believe that I am here to provide the future generations the best care possible so that they can carry the torch of problem solving and innovation as they grow into adults. I do this job because I have a passion for working with the kids. I love the early stages: seeing them develop their sweet/funny/all different and unique in their own ways. They are truly the best to be around. I think together as a community we should get to know our teachers more in order to make this family a community. I love seeing the continual growth of my students both in academics and social-emotionally and being able to share my love of learning in hopes to have them become life long learners. I want to provide an educational, safe and loving environment where they can thrive. Early Childhood Education has a huge impact on future success and I want to make sure that my students have access to that. I love my job because I love and teach kindness, to learn and help others, and to grow my knowledge about the career path I want to follow. I also love to encourage and help our students reach their full potential. I myself had a most amazing daycare lady, Barb. I always knew I had a safe place to go where I would always be loved right from the start of my life. I've always wanted to be that person like she was to me. Children are our future. They are among the most engaging and most intriguing audiences one can work with. They bring out my own creativity. I want to help steer children in a positive direction.

He had been attending another daycare with drop-in care outside of the cities, which was going alright aside from the distance away from work/home. However, when I called them on this last Monday, they were unable to get him in, and weren't sure if they were staffed enough to get him in any time soon, and couldn't give me any answers as to when they would be able to. Meanwhile, this is two months after I have fully registered him, and he has been there for a few weeks and started to get comfortable. So there I was, without childcare, and frantic. I called KinderCare late that Monday afternoon, after reading about them online, I spoke with Kayla on the phone and she was extremely helpful, put me at ease about everything, and was able to get my son in the next day and for the rest of the week with no problems, in their Discovery Preschool area. They made it very easy to get him in on such short notice, and I felt extremely comfortable with my son going there. He enjoyed his time there, and the staff kept me very informed and welcomed to all of the goings-on while my son was in their care. I would recommend their drop-in care to anyone I know who is in need of childcare at a short notice. They made my entire week better. And I will now be sending my son there on a more regular basis.

Considering that the same teacher that left my daughter in the same diaper all day (6+ hours and…read morethe policy is one hour after arrival and then every two hours), that after addressing this issue another instance with her not being changed happened again, she wasn't offered food just because she was excited and wouldn't sit down at the moment another instance, wasn't dressed properly for extremely cold weather for another, had dried poop on her with no explanation, and got a black eye with having no clue of what happened.....all within a two month span. RUN! I would NOT recommend. The most disappointing thing about it is that the Director maintained this staff member. Now would you have your kids watched by someone that has done these things? If a teacher will do this to one child, they will do it to another. Considering that I was a staff at this center makes this even more appalling. It's extremely disappointing that from upper management that child safety and providing good quality care is not the priority, the very thing that they preach about. A bit of advice....if an instance happen, make them document EVERYTHING! I called and reported them to the staff....and if there is not cold hard proof (and this center does not have cameras) they will lie to avoid being reprimanded by the state. Working in childcare myself.....these things that happened were negligent and many directors would fire a staff having had all these things happen to a child. Just saying. Customer service is terrible above the management at the center. they wouldn't even offer anything for the horrible experience....even though I stayed with kindercare and moved my kids To another center. the very thing I requested ( a discount on learning adventures classes) they wouldn't do and she was nasty about it too. When speaking with the district manager (name starts with B) when i was complaining on how nothing was done, she found herself raising her voice at me telling me "There is no proof". Even though the teacher apologized for doing those things.....right! Smh 0 stars from me.
