I recommend you NEVER put your children here. I put my kids here because they were the only daycare in my area that had room for both of my kids (age 4 and 1), so that I could take my 2 week long course in Phlebotomy. THE VERY FIRST DAY I dropped my 4 yr old off in his class, his teacher was holding a kid by his upper arm and yelling in his face, she told him to,"STOP BEING ANNOYING". I felt absolutely appalled, especially leaving my two sons there, this being the very first time they were put in daycare since they were born. But I spent 3k on my phlebotomy course and has already postponed it 2 times just to find a childcare for my kids. My 4 yr old has autism and cannot tell me if anything happens. I immediately reported it to the program director and she seemed very ""upset"" by it and said that it's unacceptable behavior for a teacher to do that and that she'd talk to the TEACHER to find out what happened. Got a call later, teacher said she "leaned down to his level" and they can understand why I THOUGHT she was in his face and was talking in a stern voice and can understand why I THOUGHT she was yelling. I asked if she had talked to the child about what happened and she said no, then proceeded to talk about the child as if he was a problem child and was always getting into trouble. Even if that is true, WHO CARES? You keep your hands off of children and never raise your voice to kids that aren't yours. Don't work in childcare if you can't handle being around children that misbehave or children generally! Shame on you all. Another thing, I dropped my sons off and as I was walking out of the building a woman walked out of the infant room and said, "I'm so f'ing tired of this sh*t". Wow just wow. My 1 yr old was in that exact classroom as well. These adults have absolutely no self control or patience for these babies and they should be ashamed of how they treat them. From the very beginning during the tour I had a terrible feeling, not welcoming at all, dirty, and the teachers give off bad vibes. Fortunately my sons are in a Headstart that have fantastic teachers that I know they'll be safe with. When I pulled my kids out once I finished my Phlebotomy course (which I noticed them about the day I signed enrolledment paperwork), they told me that I would till have to pay for the next week of childcare. My kids absolutely did NOT go back there and they still charged me $800 for the week of services we never received. On that note, this program definitely packs their classes like sardines, definitely not following the teacher to child ratio guidelines. The food is trash and the entire place is absolutely disgusting. If you love your kids keep them out of here. read more

My daughter has been going here for 5 years. She is 9 now. When she was younger things were okay, but now that she's in the school age group. Complete chaos I'm talking kids jumping around with scissors in their hands two teachers to handle 20 kids insane. To even think it's possible for them to see everything that goes on??? Filthy want to sit down and read a story to my daughter in there reading area because we got there a little early the window seal had pieces of dried up hamburger and a thick layer of dust. Steer clear this place is all about the money packing in as many kids as they can. read more

If I could rate this place a ZERO, I would. Let me start by saying.. the women in the front are pleasant. However, the teachers they hire are just horrible. My son was in the discovery kids class which smelled like pee every single day. Dirty every single day. I did give the benefit of the doubt because they had a class full but they should really reduce the size of kids in there if teachers cannot handle them properly. It seems as thought they hire whoever! These teachers barely have any patience with kids. My 2 year old was scratched pretty badly and bleeding and nobody had any explanation for me for about 2 days. It was ridiculous. He always came home with a scratch. I can seriously go on about this facility but in all. Just do not send your kid here if you care about your childs well being. My last straw was when a teacher took a picture of my child without any pants on and uploaded. Mind you he had a change of clothes in his bag! Im a real easy going and understanding person but when it comes to my child there's only so much I can take. They always had my sons blanket in the wrong cubby everyday and had someone elses blanket in his. The class is completely unsanitary. He was often sent home in diapers that were not his. While the women in the front are reassuring, they are not the one running the class and the ones that are should honestly be removed. When they posted my son with no pants, all they did was tell her to remove it. Its literally borderline child pornography and they did nothing. That was my childs last day. Honestly please do not send your child here. They are inpatient with the kids I have witnessed them telling at the kids getting upset because they are crying but they try to act nice and change their attitude when they notice you watching. Its just honestly idk this place or at least the discovery preschool class needs to be shut down. read more

Rancho Cordova KinderCare - The scratcher nobody had any answers about for two days. - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

I have never been so angry in my life. DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS GO HERE! My son bit by another child not like a normal bite but like a long hard bite. My sons back is purple he had two shirts on and still the child broke skin. First thing i walk into is a piece of paper saying my child got bit. it is on his back all because the other child wanted the toy my son had. They did not notify me nor cared about my sons well being. The teacher called the other parents and told them though and was smiling saying "she older and plunked my son" who says that to a parent! Then i go to the director she has no sympathy saying i wasn't supposed to be told what child bit my son. Said she wouldn't do anything about the situation as well. I will never let my son go back and i'm reporting licensing. read more

See all

Soooo....what the actual F is going on at this place. I went to go do a tour of the facility and my kids just did not want to be there for some reason. They kept asking to GO HOME. We begin our tour with a few of an empty classroom -_- that was messy and the reasoning was that they had their Fall Festival the WEEK prior( So no one could grab a broom during that span of time?????) Room was dirty and big scissors were on the table along with cleaning supplies. upon being in the vacant classroom, the 2 y/o class next door had a lot of noise going on then suddenly a hear a teacher just completely scream at a toddler ask say, " What do you want... My gosh, Why are you yelling like this...uuuugh" and I mean this lady was freakin screaming at this poor baby. The instructor who took me on the tour gently knocks them opens the door and grabs the phone and nervously makes a Dad joke then the teacher gets the hint that a parent is there so she changed her tone and started talking like she was Mrs. Rachel -_-. On the way out my son ran into their break room and it was disgusting.. crumbs and chip bags on the ground etc. This place was dirty, bad vibes, and terrible staff. read more

My wife and I have sent our daughter to Kindercare Rancho Cordova for the past year and half. The staff at the center have shown us that they truly care for each individual child. And because of this she looks forward to going each day. Our son will be attending when he is ready. We would highly recommend Kindercare Rancho Cordova to anyone looking for child care. read more

Eek. Did a tour here to see if it would offer my toddler a better curriculum. 1st impression, DIRTY! Layer of dust on carpet in the office, halls and classrooms. They needed a serious paint job everywhere and floor to ceiling cleaning with bleach, carpet deep cleaning etc. The classroom was messy. The outdoor play area had 2.5 to 4 year olds and it was chaos. Like lord of the flies. With kids running around throwing dirt at each other while the teachers stood back watching and talking. I don't like the idea of my child playing with older kids when it was obvious the teacher to child ratio was out of Control. Also, those older boys immediately started eyeballing my little girl! One followed her and began to bully her. If the tour guide hadn't been with us watching her no one would've known. I can't believe this school let these kids throw dirt like that at each other. There's no way I'd pay 250 per week for this place. read more

They are not consistently enforcing Covid safety precautions. There were several occasions where I went to drop off my children and staff were not wearing masks. I mentioned it to the assistant director but then two days later they wouldn't be wearing them again. Additionally, they would not enforce it with parents during pickup and drop off, so you had parents coming into close contact with staff and other children without any barrier. Their lack of adherence to basic safety precautions was concerning so I removed my children right away. read more

Do not i repeat DO NOT allow your kids to attend this childcare center. Worst center ever they do not watch you kids. My daughter almost died in the care of Kinder-care Please avoid this place parents. read more

This is a very good daycare kind of hidden behind a old folks home and not in the best neighborhood so be sure to bring your purse with you every time. But as far as the facility goes the staff is wonderful and my son loves the playground and all the activities they have them participate in read more

Hands down!! The staff is amazing and genuinely cares about each kid. They are attentive and structured. I'm kids have been going to this center for well over a year now and I wouldn't trust them with anyone else. In a rare occasion I have a concern director Stephanie and assistant director Betty are immediate to follow up and respond. The school age teachers have been a life saver to me with the new school year. They stay on top of the girls school work with me. I couldn't be more thankful for that. My youngest just recently transitioned from the discovery preschool to preschool and is so happy to go see her friends and teachers. Morning door greeter/cook/glue Tammy is amazing making sure the children have amazing meals and is always ready to step in where needed. Again this center and the staff is pretty epic, hands down! read more

My two children have been attending this Kindercare for two years. I toured so many other daycare facilities and really like the way this place is set up. (Older kids separated from younger.) One place I toured had 13 year olds with 3 year olds, um NO! I Have OCD and my personality reflects that greatly, the staff here has become aware of my likes and dislikes and and always honor my concerns. If I ask the teachers to take notes of my child's behaviors or bathroom habits they always relay the message to me. My kids are happy here and love their teachers, even asking for them on the weekends. Their summer program is so fun! My kids were in a fire truck last week and absolutely loved it! They have water days and the tooth fairy even visits! always so much going on here. Kindercare also has a bi-weekly newsletter emailed to me that I print out. I love to review the classroom curriculum at the dinner table. My kids always come home signing and their joyous demeanor lets me know Kindercare is for them. This staff works so hard, I could never do what they do. I find when I do have concerns about this facility I reach out to corporate and they respond in a timely manner and correct it. Somethings are out of staffs hands, no matter how many times a staff member tells corporate they need new food carts or baseboards, nothing will even get done until a formal client complaint is made. (which I actually did and now they have both new food carts and base boards!) read more

After visiting numerous childcare facilities in the surrounding area, I couldn't belive how much better Kindercare was compared to every single place I visited (including in-home daycares) Being a 1st time mother I was extremely apprehensive about putting my daughter in daycare, but the staff at Kindercare completely eased my worries. The infant teacher calls me all the time if there is any concern over my daughters health and wellness. The center is clean and safe. The tuition is very expensive, but I'm willing to pay to ensure the safety of my child (and my sanity!). It's obvious Kindercare is in the business to make money, that is my only complaint, but that is to be expected. I only wish they could pay the staff a little more, they deserve it! Having worked in the education field for most of my professional life, I can honestly say that most of the people in this field aren't there for the money, but it would be nice if they were compensated for their hard work; Lord knows I pay enough to that company, they should at least give a bonus to their employees who provide exemplary service. read more

Please dont send your kids here. They have so many problems. They kiss your kids on the mouth and when u confront them they say its not what it seems. They dress your kids is opposite sex clothing like its cute. They let kids wonder all around the facility. We had a problem with them so we went to their higher up and now the employees treat out child different from the others. Feed the child extra sweets and sugars to make them throw up and send them home the next day. Just not a good place to see your kids once you see them do something you dont like. read more

I LOVE Kindercare. I had a terrible experience with another daycare and it left my daughter traumatized with us leaving her. When I came to the Rancho Cordova Kindercare I told them my worries and that my daughter was going to probably cry for quite a period of time every time she got dropped off. It didn't take long and now she only cries for about 2 minutes or less, depending on if she's sick or not. She loves the ladies there and has lots of friends. She's also learning all sorts of good behaviors, habits, and educational things as well. She gets to go outside every day (weather permitting of course) and do crafts. It's an absolutely great place for children and I would not trust anywhere else with my daughter, except maybe another Kindercare location The teachers rock, always make sure my daughters entire day is written out on her 'My Day paper, and always let me know if she displays any signs/actions that are out of the ordinary. read more

Being a person who was once impressed with the services at Kindercare when I placed my first born there I no longer feel the same way my oldests class room now for the 3 YEAR olds is a complete wreck he had a nice leather jacket that came up missing when asking on separate occasions by different members of my family we were directed to a dirty pile of clothes, my son's picture wasn't on his cubby to feel truly included in his class and one of his teachers had a bad attitude with him RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME I seriously had to hold my tongue cuz I don't play that **** I went to the director about it at this point in complained about this room 4xs My youngest class was ok til what seems that one of the teachers got to personal with my 1yr old because she called CPS on me because my son's nose was rubbed raw from kleenex and had a scratch on his chin most likely from falling due to playing after all HE IS 1 AN HAS ONLY BEEN WALKING A FEW MONTHS instead of asking me or his father they jus call CPS and then THE NEXT DAY she has the nerve to ask what's wrong with his chin. Let's jus say I'm no longer impressed with Kindercare read more

My kids kept getting hurt without incident reports written up. I was not notified when my child had a bloody nose. I talked to the director but nothing changed. I never had this happen at the other day cares my kids were in. read more

I am a first time mom and was hesitant about placing my child in a daycare facility, however KinderCare eased my mind. I took a tour and everything appeared to be running smoothly and I was told that my daughter can have a free day. The following week after the tour I accompanied my daughter on her free day! She loved the atmosphere as she did the day of the tour. As a mom who is very intuitive with her child, I feed off of my child's energy and when we spent a few hours at KinderCare she had "happy hands" which means, Mom, I love this place"! My daughter loves her teachers. The staff are very nice! I receive pictures of my child throughout the day as well as detailed day reports of her feeding, diaper changes as well as comments about my child. I have a great relationship with the teachers. I like that I am able to stay with my child for hours to make sure she adjusts well to the environment in which she has no problem doing. read more

My daughter was only able to attend KinderCare for 2 months due to finances, but we really enjoyed our time with them. The infant room, where she was, is a very friendly and warm environment. The instructors are all very caring and understanding. They take the time to get to know each child individually and genuinely learn who they are. My daughter loved being around the other kids and never had a problem with me dropping her off in the mornings. The daycare is very clean, at least as clean as a building full of children can be, and well maintained. Communication between the staff and parents is very well done and I never felt like I was unaware of a problem. Nicki and Stephanie are always available if you need them, I have never gotten an answering machine any of the times I have called. The only downfall is the cost. In my field, even if I were working full time, which I am not, it would take most of my check to pay for daycare. If you are looking for a daycare facility and you can afford to pay for one, this is definitely the place you want to go. read more

As a first time parents, my husband and I were very nervous about childcare, especially since our options for facilities were extremely limited with the Army Assistance Program through NACCRA. I can't say enough great things about this daycare and the teachers! My 9 month old daughter is still in the infant room and we love both her teachers. They're very accommodating; we've chosen cloth diapers for our daughter and they're totally on board with it. The teachers communicate very well with how she is learning and what she is learning EVERY DAY. Record keeping is great. Office staff is wonderful, especially with all the paperwork required for fee-based and assistance programs (they do everything for me). The infant room is always clean and neat. Solid infant foods and snacks are provided with tuition. Formula is also provided if you use Gerber or Carnation Good Start (it's one of them, I forgot which). They have a number lock on the door for parents and staff that doesn't allow strangers to enter the building unless accompanied by staff. My daughter comes home happy every day. Couldn't ask for better! As far as the bad review's regarding this KinderCare 1. Babies cry and if you're around long enough you know which ones cry and cry and cry for no reason other than wanting to be held constantly, which is not feasible, you'll realize it is common and not harmful in the least. I was a little concerned at first, but then I learned. 2. Even though the classrooms are given notice of tours, the classroom functions and operations do not cease. If a diaper needs to be changed, it needs to be changed. The teachers have no control of it. They can't wait for someone to finish their tour and leave to clean the child up. To expect that is ridiculous. Overall, super awesome daycare! read more

I went to KinderCare for a tour for my 2 girls. When I arrived and waited outside the doorI heard an infant crying (loudly). When I was let in and met by the admin. she asked me to fill out a form and I then asked her about the crying baby, who was still crying. She told me that the babies were going down for naps and that was normal. I couldn't help but look in the window and watch 2 aids walk past that baby 3x. I did tell her I was not ok with that and she just shrugged it off. We talked for about 4 minutes(still standing by the infant nursery) about what I was looking for as far as care and I brought up again about the (still) crying baby. During the tour I watched a older child, approx 9 run into the toddler room and jump on what looked like a gym area with her dirty shoes. YUK. Over in the corner was a aid changing a diaper of a little girl with all her privates exposed to me (A total stranger). I asked about meals and was told they offer breakfast at 9, lunch at 11, and a snack just before 5. "What if the child is hungry and wants snack at around 2pm?". The answer to that question was this: " We do not give it to them because then they would all want a snack." Unacceptable, if a child is hungry, feed them, and if the others want to eat also, you feed them too. read more
