Do NOT send your child here. It's taken my wife and I over a year to muster up the courage to write this review. Due to poor organization and standards this daycare fed my then 1 year old son his known allergen which triggered anaphylaxis and required them to call 911 to have an ambulance take him to the ER. Luckily everything turned out OK, but this level of carelessness is unacceptable and dangerous. Please think twice before sending your child here. read more

My family & I absolutely love Kindercare! My daughter has been attending here since last May. Besides family, my husband & I have never had anyone else watch our kids. Ms. Amanda & Ms. Daisy make you feel at home from the minute u walk in. We absolutely love all of the teachers there. It is such a relief to drop ur baby off & know that they're in good hands. We couldn't ask for a better daycare. read more

My daughter has been going to this facility since she was 1 (she's now 2 and a half.) our experience thus far has been excellent! The team members are very attentive to her needs and I feel genuinely have her best interest at heart. We get photos and updates daily on the fun activities they do, which is my favorite part. My daughter has learned so much while being here and it's one of the best decisions we ever made! read more

I booked an appointment to tour the daycare before I enroll my daughter. I was honestly considering this center since it is only few blocks away from our house until I determined the pros and ALOT OF CONS. 1. The center director is not there. She is barely there. The assistant director Ms. Daisy is so nice and able to tour us to the center. She is very knowledgeable and able to explain to me everything concerning the center. 2. I was doing the tour in the toddler room. There is a lot of kids as they told me that the ratio is 1:12 (1teacher per 12 students). The room was so messy. ALL THE LINENS ARE JUST STACK IN ONE PLACE. The moment that you enter the room IT STINKS . The bathroom seems like it hasn't been cleaned as it smells like the pee is been there for so long. UNTIL I GOT HOME I CAN LITERALLY SMELL IT IT WAS A LINGERING SMELL. I would not even use their blankets and mat that was provided as you do not even know how they really sanitize the area. If they can't take care of the kids hygiene imagine the stuffs that is being use in the center. 3. All the kids that was going to the toddler room. You can see them in line but all of them has runny nose. They don't even wipe it. All of the kids mucus are all the way on their mouth. One kid actually had green mucus dried up already. I can't believe that they don't even wipe up the kids. PARENTS SHOULD SHOW UP IN RANDOM TIMES TO SEE WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THEIR KIDS. I'm scared that they will only wipe my daughter when it is about time to get pick up just to make sure it looks presentable to the parents. 4. Their center is extremely expensive compare to other kinder care centers. I looked into the other KinderCare center and they are a lot cheaper than this one. I WOULD REALLY CHECK IT OUT BEFORE ENROLLING YOUR KIDS. IT IS THE SAFETY OF THE KIDS. read more

I went twice with appointments and the Director was Not present both times. I also have asked to give me a call to provide additional information. They never called back. Very unprofessional and unorganized. We are not recommending this place they are very unresponsive. read more

This Review is for every staff here at Anaheim Kindercare! You all deserve a 5-Star! My son started Kindercare Jan.2023! He is in toddler class and he gets separation anxiety in the morning for drop off. The teachers are always so patient with him and calming him down every morning for drop off. Special thanks sending to Ms. Maria,Ms.Veronica,Ms. Lauren, Ms.Kim, Ms.Daisy,Ms.Amanda,Ms.Payton Thank you very much for all your support and caring. read more

My child currently attends this Kindercare and I could not be more impressed with the whole operation. Every morning, whether myself or my partner drop off our child we are always greeted with a good morning and a genuine smile by one of the amazing administrative staff. Miss Amanda and Miss Daisy are awesome. Enough cannot be said. Miss Amanda is always available if we ever need to speak with her, even if she happens to be in a classroom. And if for some reason we cannot connect then she never fails to get back to either of us. As for the classrooms themselves, they are always well organized, clean, and decorated with the themes and subjects current to the curriculum. It never feels chaotic. The teachers keep things structured. We hope our child will continue all the way until having to graduate to public school. Great Job!! read more

Amanda the director did not make my daycare experience what it needed to be. She left my account in debt because of lack of communication. Did not even try to help me resolve this issue. Honestly hope a better experience for the next daycare. Very unorganized and my baby was left with diaper rashes, wrong bottles were being sent home and my biggest one was the amount of "ouchies" my baby got in the little span of being there. Honestly think all kindercares are the same since i had a bad experience in the one in the brea area. Miss Daisy was the reason i stayed for so long. read more

My son is in the toddler class and he started here in September 2022. Drop offs were difficult the first few days. Within the 1st week he would jump out of my arms to go with Ms. Veronica or Ms. Maria . They make him feel loved and cared for. It helps get rid of the mom guilt I feel sometimes for working full time. I know my son is well cared for while I'm at work. My son is a little extra work, he is developmentally delayed . I am so grateful for all of the toddler teachers who take the time and have the patience to care for him while I work. Special shout out to Ms. Amanda, Ms.Daisy , Ms. Veronica & Ms. Maria and all of the toddler teachers who watch my son. I appreciate all of you! read more

Where to start my toddler currently attends KinderCare in Anaheim I'm absolutely in love with the program and the staff Miss Daisy and Miss Amanda are always willing to help and especially when you're in a rush heading to work and my toddlers crying they're always willing to step in and to calm my child down. My toldder has been coming for almost 2 years. I can't thank the stuff enough of how careful and attentive and how active they are with the kids. I always recommend my family and friends to this center because I know how amazing and how hard they work to keep their center clean and full of fun activities. I would rate this location 10/10 read more

This was the first daycare my son ever attended It was not a great experience for either of us. First of all, they would randomly close early a lot of the time. I would be at work and get a message saying we had to pick up by 3 because they were understaffed. He cried every day - the staff made me believe it was due to the fact that he was being dropped off at lunch time versus 8am. He already didn't want to be there. There's no way I would've added hours to his day. I usually picked him up by 5pm. The one day I did drop him off early (8am) he was in room 3, I arrived to pick him up at noon, which is much earlier than normal & to my surprise, I could hear his teacher scolding him to go to his cot and lay down (it was nap time). I opened the door and the teacher was stunned to see me, she didn't say a word. I took my son, with a puffy face from crying all morning and tears running down his face. I asked for his water bottle and said he wouldn't be returning because I was pulling him out. Because the Site Director is hardly ever on site & the assistant was on vacation, I had to send them both an email & didn't even get a response until a week + later, when I called to personally complain. I truly believe this experience ruined his daycare experience & trust for other adults to meet his needs. He his now in a new center that is CLEAN, doesn't smell like pee. Teachers are warm and welcoming, Director is always on site & available. My son is happy and thriving - he asks to go to daycare and talks about his teachers on our way home. He's 3. Oh and they also organized and structured, unlike this place. I would never recommend. read more

My son has attended this center as an infant until now and I have to say I am beyond grateful for the amazing supportive teachers he has had along the way. The teachers there have made such an important impact in his development and growth. I truly appreciate all of the staff there, from the amazing teachers, Ms Jessica, Ms Genny and Ms Gaby to the best directors Ms Amanda and Ms Daisy. I find so much value in this center not only from a classroom perspective but an administration perspective, as a whole they do such a great job. I couldn't be more thankful for the amazing experience we've had, especially in something that means so much to me as a first time mom. I would highly recommend this center if you are looking for a great place for your child to learn and grow with the help and support of the awesome staff there! Thank you Anaheim Kindercare! read more

My daughter is 4 and has been attending Anaheim Kinder care for a little over a year. Miss Daisy and Miss Amanda are so loving and take the time to interact with my child in a loving way. Miss Jessica and Miss Gaby are my daughter's favorite room teachers. They are both patient and gentle. They have added a cooking class and a dance class to their curriculum and my 4 year old raves about it. I couldn't be happier that my daughter attends Anaheim Kindercare read more

My child attends this daycare and I can assure you each and every teacher really cares about all of the kids that attend. My daughter loves her class room, her teacher and all of her friends. She always expresses her feelings about her days and I've never had a complaint. Plus the kindercare app always updates me on what my daughter does throughout the day, when she uses the restroom, when she eats what she eats, and when she takes a nap including how long she slept for. I even get some pictures of her throughout the day. That really puts me at ease. The director herself is always on top of things if I have any issues regarding my account or if I have any questions in general. read more

As a first time mom, going back to work was very scary. Kindercare has made me feel so much love. The Director and Assistant Director ALWAYS go above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and satisfied when it comes to my daughter and any concerns I may have. All the teachers are AMAZING! They love my little girl as their own, and she loves them just as much! They truly take great care of their parents and students! Thank you Kindercare Ladies for all that you do!! read more

As a military parent , this center gives me peace of mind when it comes to taking care of my baby. I love the updates from the directors and teachers via the app. Prior to joining the military I use to be a kindergarten teacher as well, so I totally understand the time and energy it takes to ensure every child is safe, loved, learning and having fun in this environment. I'm grateful for y'all , thanks ! read more

Hello Parents, My only child has been coming here since he was 3 months old. The care and love he has received since day one has made us feel very comfortable to bring him back each day. He just turned 2 and he loves his teachers, he hugs them when he arrives and when he leaves. He's learned sign language as an infant and now hes talking, knows his animal sounds and colors. On some days we get photos to see what he is doing and it really makes us happy that he is happy. KinderCare on South really tries to get the families involved as well by having family nights at the center; Luau's, Harvest Fest, and other fun Holiday events. Every month a new calendar is posted to show you what is planned on certain days, for example" Pajama Day's, Cookie Making Day, National Days, ect. We have been to 2 other daycare's and they always say when you know...you know. read more

My little one has been going here since he was an infant. My interactions with both the administrative staff and his teachers has always been great. Already having a curious mind his time spent in the learning adventures program has only helped that curiosity blossom. When people ask where my little one goes to daycare and is it a positive experience for him I happily let them know that he both attends Anaheim Kindercare, but also that he very much loves to go and tell me about his day, as best he can :). read more

I bring my boy here several days a week and he gets so excited to see his teachers and little friends. The director Amanda has great energy and we appreciate the enthusiasm she puts towards the center. read more

Wanted to leave some love for South Street Kinder Care. We have had our daughter here since she was 3 months old and have been so impressed with the care and love they show our child. As first time parents, they walked us through the transitions and made the process incredibly easy. If you are looking for a place with structure and support, this is the place. They set high expectations for your children and hold them to it. While some can see the structure as impersonal, we have seen our daughter thrive. The curriculum and planned activities exceeded our expectations. Especially in the summer there is always something fun or creative our daughter is doing. Also wanted to respond to others comment regarding Ms. Jessica. She was been FANTASTIC with our daughter and feels like family. The entire infant teacher crew have been instrumental in shaping our daughter. Gave 4 stars because there can be improved communication with parents regarding various policies and events, but overall they are always available for questions or concerns. read more

Hello all parents Here is a safe place for your babies. Staff is reliable and I trust them with my 4 yr. old son. It's small, so knowing most staff is fairly easy. Staff also has their own children there. Schedule is great as they provide nap time along w. 3 meals/day b-fast, lunch, n snack. Also they stay open until 6:30pm for those who work late. FYI I had my son attend another KinderCare in Fullerton which was just as great! read more

I never thought that working at Kindercare would be so rewarding and fun! Every day I come to work, I look forward to seeing all of the wonderful children that I get to work with! As an assistant teacher, I am able to work together as a team with my co-teachers in order to make the classroom and our KinderCare very welcoming to all of the many families! It's amazing how much love goes into the families and the teachers, it feels great being able to be part of an amazing family. This KinderCare has become a home away from home. I've gotten to meet the most amazing coworkers and families in my two years of being here! If you are looking forward to being part of an amazing family, company and part of a child's life. Then I suggest you come to our KinderCare! Love, Gloria G. read more

My daughter has been attending this center for almost 2 months and I am very pleased with this location. Before enrolling her, Summer (Center Director) and Veronica (Assistant Director) were extremely professional and prepared for my visit and had a tour prepared before I arrived. They each were very informative aware of everything going on during the day throughout the center (not just sitting in the front office) I love that the faculty knows all the children, not just the ones in their class. Everyone is very friendly and the teachers truly love their job. My daughters reading has developed greatly in just a short time and she remains excited to learn. Ms Daisy and especially Ms Julie are amazing and I love what they bring to the center. My child was previously with another center...but this location sets the standard! read more

Since day one my experience at South Street daycare has been a very great. All the staff is very friendly, respectful and most important, they genuily care for the children. I have always been treated with respect Prior to COVID-19, I enjoyed going into her classroom & talking/sharing about what was going on with my little one. I love their app, as i can check anytime how her day is going, love the shared photos. Very greatfull it remained open during pandemic shut down. And appreciate all safety precaution measures they have taken to keep their staff & children safe. I can keep on writing about all of my great experiences at daycare, but will end it with this, as parents, we are blessed & thankful to have a place we can trust to care for our little one in their while we work! Thank you & keep up the good work. Maria C. read more

Honestly at first they were so nice but I experienced the worst thing walking into pick up my son from the infant room and he was getting yelled at stop for crying and he was handled in a frustrating way Don't bring your baby here if Ms. Jessica is in the infant room I couldn't believe it !!!!!!! read more

My son (4 yr) wound up being kicked out of his previous school (due to the staff at said school not knowing how to manage or understand his ADHD and Autism) this wound up being a blessing in disguise because I found this school (and I'm am so glad). Now I'm actually happy that my son was kicked out of his old school because it led me to south street KinderCare. He no longer cries about going to school and that is because the teachers actually treat him with compassion. He has his joy for school back which he lost while at his old school. Thank you. read more

My daughter was 11 months old and they wanted to transfer her to the toddler's room. My daughter couldn't walk, she didn't know how to eat with her hands, and still needed a bottle, and a crib. I went in on a Wednesday after 2 days of pulling her out because she was sick and I come back and they told me they gave her infant crib to another baby. That she will just have to "tough it out" in the toddler room because they gave her spot in the infant room away to another baby. They further added that my 11-month old was "endangering" the other infants because she could stand up. Plus they said that milk bottles were not permitted in the toddler room so my daughter will have to go without her formula. I was appalled and pulled my daughter out of this place by noon and never came back. So I just wasted ~$300 for that week on no childcare. I later found out what they were doing was completely against the law. They can't put an 11-month old baby in the toddler room. The baby must be a minimum age of 12 month old and be able to walk. They're "it's ok to let the kid go hungry" policy is also a violation too. I would have called the state on them but I noticed parents at this daycare doesn't seem to complain much so I transferred my daughter to another Kindercare location ... a location where the parents DO care to complain and call the state whenever something is violated. My daughter is now in the Irvine Kindercare location and has been ever since. She is thriving there with excellent care and she NEVER goes hungry at the Irvine Kindercare location. She is currently 19 months old. One BIG thing I learned is that daycare changes on a dime. The director and individual teachers are critical. If you get ONE bad teacher it doesn't matter how awesome all the other teachers are. And there are GOOD teachers at this location on South Street, which was one of the reason I chose this place. If you have no choice but to drop off your child at this location, then KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! If they tell you "we do it to all the other kids" or "no one else complains" then those are BIG RED FLAGS. Having an infant crawl around on an outdoor cement is NOT RIGHT. If your kid is extra tired and wants to sleep longer, the daycare does NOT have the right to wake your child up. I learned the hard way and after talking to other parents who's talked to the state, I KNOW what my child's rights are. And I was fortunate my daughter was only there for 2 months when it finally dawned on me that she was getting sick way too often and that she was uncomfortable with certain teachers there. So if you're ever in doubt, call the state daycare licensing agent. Our big mistake was calling the Kindercare Corporate office. The office just gave us the run-around. ----- P.S. I asked if the Irvine Kindercare was going to let my daughter crawl on outdoor cement, they were AGHAST at the thought. They said that's just NOT safe, they can cut themselves easily on rocks and stuff. They do have a grassy area just for infants but they always makes sure they remain on the clean picnic blanket. Only infants that can stand can attempt to step on the grass. Otherwise it's crawling on the blankets for all the other babies. read more

I can't say much about the child care but I can say something about the B who runs this place. I saw a job listing ad for this place and they were looking for preschool teachers & teachers' aides. I came in to inquire and apply. I went to the front and asked, but then this lady comes whom I assume is the director and basically starts SCOLDING me about early childhood development units and that they don't need any more teachers' aides. Then why was it stated in the ad that they were looking? Even if they weren't looking, she could've said it in a better way without speaking to me like a child. Incredibly rude, I couldn't believe it. If she treats strangers like this, I wonder how she treats the kids. read more

How do you trust people who cannot keep There word. All the time they has a spot and the moment I went they said the spot was taken 15 mins back. Why would u do that when u know that u have promised the spot. I only reason that I can think of is that they dint wanted a child from a military member, just coz I checked for the available discount. Well can't say much. Really disappointed with the way they treat the service/business they call "Care" read more

Choosing a daycare facility is never an easy task, but from the moment my husband and I visited this site, we knew our son would be cared for. Each of the staff members has been so warm and welcoming it breaks my heart that we're moving. They are all so kind and genuinely enjoy their day with the children. read more

I love this location. Very friendly and always gives you reports and updates on your child's behavior and development. I also love the new KinderCare app. I know exactly how my child is doing and eating. read more

My 5 month old daughter has been attending South Street Kindercare for the past 2 months and it's been a very positive experience. I like that the infant room class size is small and only has infants from 6 weeks to 12 months before they are moved to a separate toddler room. Other centers I toured combined infant and toddlers up to 2 years. My daughter is always happy and recently fed with a clean diaper when I pick her up. The teachers in the infant room are very attentive and love on my baby like their own which really warms my heart. I never worry after dropping my baby off as I know she is in excellent care for the day. The entire staff makes you feel welcomed and you really feel like you're family there. I highly recommend if you are looking for experienced infant care with caring teachers. read more

My son has been going to South Street KinderCare since he was 16 weeks old. They gave my husband and I a tour and reviewed all of the safety policies they have in place which was important to us. More importantly, they reviewed their baby curriculum with us to ensure that my son was stimulated and learning everyday. The teachers are also bilingual which was also valuable for us. Every time I pick up or drop off my son, the teachers know him by name and recap his day in person (they don't just rely on his daily intake form to communicate with us). They have great family programs, and if it wasn't sit KinderCare we would have no Santa Christmas photos this year! I could not recommend South Street enough! read more

My daughter started going to daycare at 5 months old. Unfortunately our first experience (at a different daycare) was absolutely traumatizing. I pulled her out without notice and went on the hunt for a new daycare. I looked at several places but absolutely fell in love during my tour at South Street KinderCare. My now 9-month-old daughter has been in their infant room for exactly two months. Although the tuition is steep, it does include 2 snacks and 2 meals (breakfast and lunch). My daughter has had all kinds of different food exposure and has been loving it, from ravioli, to sweet and sour chicken, to hummus and pita bread, all cooked onsite at the KC kitchen. The infant room is bright, big, and set up in a way that encourages exploration. Every month we get a newsletter telling us what our kids will be focusing on for the month, and they each have personalized goals and curriculum too. The room is decorated with pictures of the babies, and things are labeled in both English and Spanish and the kids get exposure to both. My little girl has adjusted so well to her School that she even goes on Fridays when I'm off work. The communication between parents and teachers is great, and all the staff at KC know your child by name (even if they teach in another room). In the beginning I called in frequently to check on my daughter bc of our first experience, and Ms. Veronica, Ms. Marissa, and Ms. Summer (front office/Director) never let me feel like I was being annoying and always encouraged me to check in as frequently as I need to. My baby has her own drawer and crib on the infant room, and they practice safe sleep. Babies go down in the crib when sleeping, with a teacher sitting in the area watching them. When they wake up, they are immediately taken out of the crib so they don't feel restricted. Ms. Kim, Ms. Grace, Ms. Gloria, and Ms. Jessica are like a second family to my Eden. Her favorite teacher is Ms. Jessica and she loves her like no other! I've loved watching my girl grow and learn in the last couple of months. My husband recently lost his job and we are doing everything we can to keep Eden in school because she is thriving so much. A few times Eden has come home with incident reports, but they are always documented and shared. No one has ever tried to hide anything, and as a parent I understand that sometimes my child will have a little scratch or bump and that's okay. I appreciate the openness and honesty, and there have even been times when I never would have known she got a booboo but they still let me know. I definitely, 100% trust the staff at KinderCare with my child, and am so excited to watch her grow there. read more

I absolutely love kindercare... I have two children that attended here. my oldest is in the kindergarten class and my youngest is in the infant room. I have been with kindercare for almost two years and I wouldn't trust anyone but them with my kids. The open door policy is great I do pop-ups all the time and even go breastfeed my youngest on my lunch breaks.. Ms. Dasiy is my sons favorite teacher, she take the time to get to know all the kids and the needs of each child which is amazing... I had really bad postpartum depression after I had my youngest and every teacher did their very best to make me feel comfortable.. I really Dont know how I would have made it through that rough time without them but mostly Mrs.Kim... If you want your kids to b in an environment where they are cared for and honestly loved then this is the center for you read more

I had to look for a new child care facility for my son and been searching around many preschools around Anaheim, luckily i found kindercare. As soon as i called the the staff were very welcoming and comforting. I came to tour the center and love it right away, the way it was set up and very clean. The director and assistant director welcomed me and my son with open arms. I feel comfortable knowing my son is happy and his teacher's love him. read more

I have had my children at this location for over 2 years and can't say enough wonderful things about everything. The layout of the school is cute, nice courtyard, big rooms with tons of light. The staff is like family and really know every child no matter if they are in their class or not. And the leadership staff really takes the time to make it special (fun family events, classes, and more). I have my masters in Early Childhood Education so I know what to look for in a school. They do tend to be full so get on their waitlist, you wont regret it. read more

My youngest daughter has been attending Kindercare for a little over a year now and my eldest has also done the school aged after school program. I can't say enough of how VERY, VERY pleased I am with the program thus far. Not only their teachers but ALL of the staff is extremely caring and go above and beyond to make my child's experience the best everyday. I am happy that my daughter is part of this National Accredited School we call home away from home. Their daily/weekly curriculum is extraordinary and my daughter has learned so much. Not only I've noticed it but my family has also mentioned of how smart and knowledgeable my daughter is for a 4 yr old and wish they lived closer so that the other little ones of our family could attend. I also really like that the meals (breakfast and lunch) are nutritious and cooked on site daily in their kitchen. They also serve two snacks a day. Not only they have a lot of different activities and events for your child and family throughout the year (holiday program, luau's, movie nights, etc.) but they also offer other fun optional classes like cooking, soccer, dance and more. Not to mention their summer program which has lots of FUN FUN activities. This really is just a short summary of the things we have enjoyed of the program but if you are looking for quality care for your child, I invite you to take a tour of the facility and see for yourself everything Kindercare has to offer as soon as possible and you'll see how happy all the children are no matter what time of day you go in. I wanted to end with a quick tip/recommendation: You know how when you go to a good restaurant there is usually a bit of a wait. Well, this school is so good that their classes are full for the most part and I'm sure that other families like me don't plan to go anywhere else until we start elementary so check them out ASAP and get your precious ones in. read more

My son has been going here for a little under 3 years. He absolutely loves it. He's an only child & he bonds so well with children of all ages. He's also learned so much, the last daycare he attended for a few years he always came home talking about movies he saw. Now he comes home teaching me about science & all the fun stuff he learns. They say no one takes care of your child like you, which is true, but kindercare comes close! So happy I switched! read more

Everyone is always very nice and bubbly when we walk in every morning. The way they speak to my son and to me I can tell they care about my child and generally enjoy working with children. My son loves his teacher Ms Julie and always talks about her and her class every day when I pick him up. The center is on the smaller side but it's super cute and filled with a wonderful staff. read more
