March 6th he started a new daycare and when I tell you the daycare is a total 360! At Kindercare my son never ran to hug any teacher and he cried or whined nearly everyday I dropped him off! At his new location my son runs and hugs the teachers and tell me bye and waves to me as I go. He is so excited to go to school everyday and he's started communicating more. When he's out sick they call and check on him! Never had that happen at Kindercare! The energy was off there! Kids know because they can feel it too! Every single day they have lots of different activities and learning that they do that's uploaded in the app along with pictures. They also write a summary of everything they do and what they learned. Kindercare barely sent pictures and they barely ever uploaded reports! If your just looking for a daycare to have a place to put them while at work then it's cool but if your looking for them to learn and discover and have fun and enjoy themselves send them elsewhere! The classrooms at his new daycare are really large and they have two teachers at all times and about 12 students total whereas Kindercare have loads of students and one teacher! Anyway the staff at his new school is so amazing I wish I'd found it sooner ....they speak so highly of Carter and they treat him like their own and it makes me so happy inside that there are truly wonderful daycares out there you just have to look and not settle

This daycare does not understand how to work with any children needs or wants when they are upset…read moreand especially non verbal children with special needs. They will kick your child out for crying too much or for running around which is what they did to my child! Also their doors dnt lock so the kids can exit if they want.... One time I went to pick up my son and he was following behind 2 parents with 2 other children...he had made it through 2 doors into the area where the front desk is, so they definitely don't watch them like they should! Always wet up and clothes always inside out and backwards at pickup they dnt even think to fix their clothes! They told me after 4 months of attendance that they needed an IEP and evaluation for him to be able to return and that would tell them how to respond when he's upset and crying or acting out! You would think a daycare that has been caring for him for 4 months would have established a way to deal with a child when he's upset...however they rather outsource to help them learn how to run a daycare! If they needed an evaluation for children that don't speak they should have asked for that in the beginning for all non verbal children or all children of that matter since they sending them home for screaming and acting out from time to time! Mr. Eric also don't document incidents like other daycares to let you know a problem is arising, he just kick the child out giving you no time to work on things or find another daycare for that matter! Thank God I have the pleasure of having my own businesses and not punching nobody's clock as I wouldn't have a job dealing with this daycare...also a ratio of one teacher for every 6 toddlers is required however my sons class had 15 students and one teacher! Mr Eric is also not truthful ! He sat in a meeting and said that he never said my son couldn't return without an IEP which he definitely said on the phone he just didn't have it in him to admit it in person and I didn't have time to go back and forth ! Also he will keep your child enrolled which means daycare fees still have to be paid even tho he dnt allow them to return... while he have you doing something that requires a long wait time...he knew 2 weeks ago he wasn't going to let my son return he had every excuse in the world but didn't un enroll him ...such a scam! They so lazy they don't even document your children's food like they should or update their schedule..so basically the app is for nothing it be empty half the days and you get pics maybe 2 times a week...I had a meeting with Mr. Eric and the director Samantha yesterday and she did do everything she could to try and resolve the situation to have my son return however Mr Eric had every excuse in the book of why he couldn't come back with this or that and no documents to back up anything he said my son did! Ive been consulting with my lawyer and I decided to un enroll him today because he couldn't attend anyway... I should have known not to send him here in the first place ! After posting what happened on my social platforms to over 100k plus people most of the responses were Kindercare is not a good daycare and I totally agree! Just a bunch of people in it for the money and not for the well being of the children! Montessori was definitely way better! Not even on the same level! Thankfully he will be going to a better daycare! I do not recommend I would give 0 stars if I could! And Mr Eric does not uphold Kindercare standards at all!

My child started at this daycare when he was just 8 weeks old with Ms. Lea, and from day one, the care and attention he received has been exceptional. Ms. Angela makes sure he is well taken care of in the mornings until Ms. Lea arrives, which has given me so much peace of mind. Despite seeing some negative reviews online, my experience with this school has been incredible. My child is now 15 months old and thriving. Ms. Latesha and Ms. Lea in the infant classroom are truly amazing teachers who genuinely care about the children and their growth. Every day he comes home learning something new--singing songs, saying new words, and sharing the exciting things he's discovered at school. It's clear that the teachers put in the time and love to teach, nurture, and engage with each child individually. Watching my baby grow, explore, and gain confidence has been such a blessing. Being a first-time mom, it's hard to put into words how much it means to trust your child with someone else. I am so grateful for the loving, safe, and supportive environment this daycare provides. The teachers have played a huge role in my child's early development, and I couldn't recommend them more highly to any parent looking for a daycare that truly care

I went to a Montessori perschool and wanted our daughter to have that experience.Having multiple age ranges in a class benefits all the students for different reasons. I think Montessori method with student driven learning is wonderful for curious children. The student to teacher ration is 10 or 11 to 1 with 3 teachers per class. I love that this school is willing to push the kids to the extent each child is willing academically. Our daughter had been home schooled/cared for by close friends for years and was well beyond the PreK curriculum before even starting. The next year, when our daughter was assessed for kindergarten in a Cobb County public school, she scored high and was placed in a more rigorous class which pleased us. The teachers and staff also assist with social learning. Our daughter was a bit behind the others socially; most of whom had been in daycare or this school versus home care/school and were well socialized. Teachers and staff worked with my daughter and my husband and I and kept us updated. Also, my daughter is being raised as a Jehovah's Witness which posses unique challenges around birthdays and holidays. The staff was understanding, accommodating, and had a willingness to learn, understand and work with our daughter and us that astonished us. I have never worked with a more flexible and helpful staff. The Director and Assistant Director were almost always there, unless I'll. We had several tours including just stopping in. Montessori schools do not put their monies into beautification; they put it into hiring and educating exceptional teachers and staff. Please remember that when you tour. They treat the children and parents with love and respect. We were completely impressed with them.

A previous teacher told me they pinch children behind their ears and hand so it won't bruise. I also have a picture of a teacher sitting on a student because the child didn't want to go to sleep.
