As a parent of a nonverbal autistic child, I am extremely disappointed in the way Kid's Country…read morehandled our experience, especially after a change in leadership. While the previous staff showed care and compassion, everything changed under the new director. What's most troubling is that the director claimed to have experience working with children with disabilities, yet she refused to make any effort to communicate with my nonverbal child. No visual cues, no gestures, no attempts at understanding, just avoidance and blame! Instead of support, I was repeatedly asked to leave work shortly after drop-off, because the staff couldn't "manage" her behavior, behavior that is common for children on the spectrum. My child was even referred to as "wild," which is dehumanizing and unacceptable. They also made it clear that they wouldn't allow her to attend without a one-on-one aide, which they provided no assistance in arranging. Meanwhile, when my child was bitten or pushed by other children, I was rarely informed, but if she had any issue, it was escalated immediately, making it clear she was being singled out and unfairly targeted. This is not a safe or inclusive space for neurodivergent children. If your child has a disability, especially if they're nonverbal or any child period. Please seek a center that not only says they support inclusion but actually practices it.

Since he has been attending, two coats have been stolen, most recently his winter coat within the last two weeks. When the first incident occurred I mentioned it to the staff and decided to let it go, purchasing a new coat instead. Recently, my nephew was picked up by his father, who inquired about the location of his winter coat, to which the staff had no knowledge. My three-year-old nephew stated that another child took it, and the staff confirmed that my nephew had informed them that another kid who was leaving had his jacket, but they ignored it. I immediately requested that the staff contact the parent to retrieve the new winter coat, as my nephew had to leave the facility wrapped in a blanket. The facility has stated that the parent has not returned the child since and that the child left the jacket at a different school. This situation is unacceptable, and I am left with no choice but to file a police report. Why should I be required to continue purchasing new coats, labeling them with his name, only to have someone else take them if they like them, which is ridiculous!

My kiddo has been there about 3 years and and we've not had too many issues. They get breakfast, lunch, and snacks provided. Also having extended hours and flexibility really meets our needs. His teachers and admin staff communicate well with me, and worked as a team during potty training to get that done. He hasn't had a lot of turnover in teachers while he's been here, so it feels like they know and care about him. The play yard has a nice covered space so kids can get outside year round, that also sprays water in the summer to keep them cool. They are more affordable than some other centers around as well. Overall it's been a good experience for my little.

I don't believe a child has ever been stolen, wow. The staff is loving, caring and professional at all times. The care that children get here far surpasses anywhere else. This is an establishment that goes above and beyond on a daily basis, not only do they make sure that every child is in excellent care, they go beyond expectations when it comes down to giving back to and being a strong pillar of support in the community. This is not a corporate type for profit center, you know the franchise names- this is a family owned and ran center. Their hearts and hands go into making this an excellent choice for anyone considering or needing excellent quality care for their children. Yes parking maybe tight, but it's an urban area and that's just par for the course.

We especially want to recognize Miss Sydney and Miss Sara, who were absolutely amazing. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine love for the children truly stood out. They created such a nurturing and safe environment for our son, and it was clear every day that he was not only well cared for, but also learning and growing. If you are looking for infant care, I can't recommend Miss Sydney and Miss Sara enough. They are fantastic teachers who go above and beyond, and we are incredibly thankful for the role they've played in our son's early development. We are leaving Kindercare for an option with small groups but experience with our infant in the infant room was top notch.

Our 7 month old daughter attended this location for 1 week and we had several concerns. The first was child to teacher ratio, though we had been told they complied to the state mandated ratios, more than once in less than a week we found more than 4 babies per teacher upon pick up. The second was how a lock down was handled. We received an email first thing in the morning that the daycare was on lock down and children couldn't be accepted. When the all clear was given, there was no context provided and upon calling we had to make multiple phone calls to get through- and did not get a clear answer as to why police had directed the lockdown. We thankfully had not yet brought our daughter in, but I can not imagine my panic if this was how poorly they had communicated danger and she was already in the building. When I called to express concern, I was told this is how they "usually communicate lockdowns" and did not seem to understand my concern.
