Once we started it was okay. Then, I started seeing things and asking questions... Like one day I set some son down and gave him a toy from one of the closed bins, that has toys in it and there was vomit on it!!!! I was so disgusted! I found he was getting diaper rashes all the time. I asked one of the employees if they read to the kids, she said no. I was out!

The staff is kind and upbeat--their well-designed facility and program make teaching easier! I think it's so cool how kids get to rotate through different rooms and stations throughout the day.

Nothing but issues for months now with Anoka Child Care. For movie time some of the choices have…read morebeen Gremlins and Guardians of the Galaxy 2. I pick my kids up and they informed me they watched movie that scared them or 1 with a lot of bad words. Next issue is an employee who 1 week stopped to get gas on the way back from picking the kids up from school, which is funny cause I had seen her there before picking them up, and instead of paying at a pump, decided to leave them all in the van while she went inside. Lastly was the day a week later when the van showed up 10 minutes earlier than usual and 1 of my kids was in tears because my other child was left at the school and she refused to wait for him or turn around and get him. No longer feel comfortable with my kids in the environment this child care center provides. Would give 0 stars if I could.

We had a nanny and a home day care until our daughter was about 22 months. I had almost been…read moreworried about how little she had been trying to talk when she entered Kindercare. Now, she speaks in full sentences (4 months later), uses scissors like a champ, holds markers (etc) "almost" properly, and sings us songs with actions all the time. Her main teacher is master's prepared and truly pushes these kids to the best of their abilities. She loves every teacher there and always comes home talking about her friends! The other main reason I love this daycare is that they're reliable. They're open as early and as late as we've needed them for our work schedules, and are extremely flexible when I need to add on days. At the in home daycare we had to deal with the daycare lady's kids being sick, or poor hours, or them leaving on vacation frequently. It was not reliable enough and I found myself having to call in sick at my job when my daughter nor I were sick. The directors are wonderful and respond to calls and emails quickly as well. Seriously, no complaints from this mama!

Very. Frustrating. My wife and I enrolled our 2-1/2 year-old-son in early November 2011. We…read morepulled him out and enrolled him in another daycare by the end of the month. Here's why... I would drop off my child in the morning with no issues. Picking up, however, is where we had problems. Nearly every day there was an issue with misplaced belongings or some unexplained physical ailment. At the end of the day, my son's hoodie or coat ended up in another child's cubby. Parents shouldn't have to search other students' cubbies to locate their child's items despite labeling each of his items. After the first snowfall, I brought in his snowpants and boots. 3 days later, again at pick-up time, I was looking for his boots to ensure that they were still there. His boots were not in his cubby so I asked one of the teachers for help. The teacher responded that every student's items are put back in their corresponding cubbies. I responded that this was untrue because the boots clearly were not where they were supposed to be. The teacher said that they would locate the boots the next day. To my frustration, they could not locate my son's missing boots so I had to purchase new boots. There were several days where our son came home with a diaper rash due to not cleaning him well enough after bowel movements. There were also days where he developed a rash on his face which the teachers couldn't explain. The final straw was arriving to pick up my son to find that a bright, red ring had developed around his entire mouth. Again I asked the teachers what had happened and again they could not offer an explanation. When a parent leaves their child in an established daycare center, one would expect that the child is receiving proper attention and care. Clearly, this was not happening. I can't speak for all KinderCare locations but our experience at the Hanson Blvd, Coon Rapids location certainly was not pleasant. My wife and I now refer to this location as KinderDontCare.

The administrative staff is very unorganized. We signed our son up for their "extra" day camps and classes, only to find out he didn't get to participate in half of them. When you walk in to the classroom, kids are running circles around the staff. Every few days my son came home with a note saying he was bit, or hit with a toy or something. If you want your young ones to get something out of their daycare... go someplace else. After a year here they asked us to either go full-time or rearrange our schedule and split a full week with another family. Well, ok - we decided it wouldn't work. So we found a different place and our son is thriving!!!!! Learning manners, comes home so happy. NO INCIDENT REPORTS. But, this place just won't go away. They charged us $100 registration fee the week before we left and charged us a full 2 weeks tuition after we left. They wanted us to change our schedule - it didn't work out - so now they want more money. I'm warning you - we had multiple tuition hikes while we were there and they charge you 2 registration fees per year. $$$$ Invest in your child. The place we go now is less expensive and such a better organization.
