    I would not recommend this daycare to my worst enemy. Worst experience with a daycare I have ever…read morehad. Very unprofessional staff and I would not trust certain teachers with my child ever again. Please think twice about taking your child there.

    I started send my son in 11/2023 and told them he is autistic and wanted to make sure they are able…read morehandle that. I was told yes and told they have cameras and etc. Things were going good but then a new teacher started after the new teacher I notice my son started acting odd. Then 1/31 I had my son tested for autism and he was on the spectrum. I shared this with the center and director. After this I started getting reports daily over stupid things and was getting concern, they were targeting my son. I called corp concern they reassure me this is not the case. Fast forward April 1 2024, I saw the police was at daycare when I went to go pick by 2 year old son up. When I walked through the doors the director was calling me about what was going on. I guess the teacher was aggressively handling my child and another parent saw it was super concern. The daycare DID NOT CALL THE POLICE! This parent sat there for 2 hours and were the ones that called the police. This daycare wanted the owner show up before calling the police. Even the policy told me they were trying hide the incident. There are NO RECORDING for this because TLE does no record footage at all. This teacher was out of ratio 1 teacher to 21 kids during nap time. They didn't call me for 5 hours after this happened. My son had a bruise on his back. They told me at first Ms. Lacey was not being fired for it which was a lie! The director quit right after this. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!!

    My child attended KinderCare for 17 months. On 5/22/26, an incident occurred that ultimately led to…read moremy decision to withdraw my child from KinderCare. On the morning of May 22, my husband, and I changed our toddler's diaper before drop-off. At that time, his skin was completely clear with no diaper rash or irritation. KinderCare documents his last diaper change that day occurred at 3:15 p.m. He remained at the facility until approximately 6:15 p.m. that evening. Upon pickup, we returned home (3 minutes away) and changed his diaper, as we routinely do after pickup regardless of recent diaper changes. At that time, we observed the diaper change time written on his diaper as 3:15 p.m., consistent with KinderCare's practice of writing diaper change times directly on diapers with permanent marker. We observed blood in his diaper area; that his skin was no longer clear, unlike at the time of drop-off that day. The rapid development of this condition raised immediate concerns regarding the care he received while at KinderCare. The resulting diaper rash that progressed to raw, bleeding skin lasted 8 to 10 days. Staff informed me that the practice of writing diaper change times on diapers was implemented to ensure accountability and address prior concerns regarding diaper changing. This policy was introduced during the tenure of the current director, who is the third director I have observed during my child's enrollment. My concerns were not limited to a single incident. My husband and I sent separate messages on the app regarding concerns. Neither message received acknowledgment or response. Then, I received an email stating that I had not provided sufficient notice and would be billed accordingly. At that time, my access to the daycare app had also been disabled, preventing further communication or review of account messages through the platform. I am requesting that KinderCare: Waive any tuition, withdrawal fees, or additional charges related to my immediate withdrawal following these care concerns. Release my child's photographs immediately upon arrival or confirm they will not be withheld. Review the circumstances surrounding my child's care, including the diaper rash incident. Provide a written response addressing the concerns raised in this complaint. My primary concern is not solely the billing dispute, but whether the facility is providing an appropriate standard of care, maintaining adequate staffing, and responding appropriately when serious concerns are raised by parents regarding a child's health and well-being. I will be escalating this continuously through all available external resources. For documentation and legal purposes, please acknowledge receipt of this complaint and provide a written response addressing the concerns raised. If this matter is being referred to another department or investigator, please provide that information in writing as well. As of now, no one has responded to my multiple attempts to resolve this matter. KinderCare center is 301139. I look forward to your written response.

    I asked the school to please take care of the mold growth on the vents. (180$ just in registration…read morefees should make paying for a thorough air sample financially possible for the school) no air samples were obtained. I continued to bring up my concern over the last 7-8 months. I relayed that I was going to have to report it as we are very sensitive and today got a phone call that we need to part ways. I am being forced to remove my daughter from this facility because I refuse to accept an opinion without adequate air sample test throughout the building...... they have decided they will not pay for air test and that without even testing the air my worries are unfounded. this concerns me as a parent who values my child's environment.I have pictures of the vents.... I'm shocked that I was told that their primary focus is the safety of the children but they refused to supply an air sample..... that is in reality NOT putting the children first but rather settling on an opinion that may be wrong instead of being thorough..... the most careful and cautious decision is to remove my daughter and give me no say in the matter. caring for the children first would in fact be obtaining that sample and not whimsically going off an unfounded opinion. im shocked!

    The Learning Experience in Rivercrest is a wonderful school. My daughter attends the school five…read moredays a week. My husband and I were excited to have our daughter return to The Learning Experience when she could. The staff is thorough with the CDC guidelines in dealing with the Covid-19 virus. Jackie and her staff are so warm and welcoming every morning at drop off and during pick-up. My daughter's teacher sends me a few pictures of what she works on and plays with during their outside time. The food options are healthy for her meals and snacks. They staff does a wonderful job with creativity; making ice cream in a plastic baggie, and bringing in donuts for the kids. She is learning to become independent and using her imagination. She gives the staff hugs and really builds a bond with everyone there.

And that meant that my kids were supervised and entertained from 7:30am until 5:15pm. Yay! They do the "typical" summer camp stuff that you don't really get to do in urban Tampa - canoeing, archery, zip lining/ropes course. They also went swimming, played basketball and soccer, did arts and crafts. No screen time, which was a relief compared to so many camps that show movies during lunch or allowed kids to use personal devices during camp hours. My 8 and 10 year olds had great time. Breakfast and lunch are provided, although my kids complained about their low quality and brought their food after the first day. This is really a great resource for working parents as so many camps are only from 9 to 3.

For most weeks he is signed up for Waterfront Camp and we were not sure if it would be the best option for him. We have no regrets, he excitedly shares all the things he does each day and really wants us to purchase kayaks. He is in 2nd grade and will be 8 in a few weeks. He also attends their afterschool program, Kid Day Out when schools are closed, takes swimming lessons, horseback riding and participates in Run Club all at YMCA Camp Cristina. It is his Happy Place! They are very responsive and quick to respond when we have questions or concerns. I generally send an email and within a few hours I have receive a reply or phone call.
