We've been going to KinderCare for almost 2 years now and we love it! We were originally introduced through a family friend who had her two boys from infants to pre-k. My child has now been in 3 different classes (started in infant classes and now toddler class) and has enjoyed each class. You know the teachers are doing something right when your child runs up to class every day! The perks of going to KinderCare are the curriculum set in place for each age level. My child had learned sign language in the infant class and now knows more words than an average two year old. We are greeted with big, welcoming smiles each morning! Oh and the app that they use helped ease any anxieties I had when initially leaving my child in care. I receive updates throughout the day of what she has eaten, how long she napped for, when her diaper was changed and the best part...pictures!! It is so nice to feel connected to your child while they're in someone else's care. I recommend doing a tour to see for yourself. read more

We have had such a positive experience with Camarillo KinderCare. The staff are rockstars! They have been on top of everything. We love getting updates throughout the day and all the fun events. Our child has done so well at this location and is learning so much. We feel so thankful that we have a safe and clean place for our child. read more

I went in a year or two ago to check out options for my daughters care while my husband and I are at work. I have to say this place did not give me a good feeling at all. So much so I felt the need to leave this years later and to let parents know there's much better options to go to in Camarillo. To start off, before even going in for our tour I sat out in our car and watched for a bit to see how staff interacted with the kids when they didn't know they were being watched. The staff did not even look up from their phones even when the children were trying to engage with them or just talk to them. The kids looked bored with the toys out for them, I'm assuming they don't rotate the toys much. When a child got hurt or started arguing with another child, the staff ignored it until the children made enough noise for them to do the bare minimum. Then I had gotten out of our car to wait for my husband in the front and even then the staff were still glued to their phones. They did not care at all. When we went in for the tour we met the teachers that my daughter would be place with and they were somewhat friendly to my husband and I and did not make much effort to make my daughter feel comfortable with them. I generally got the feeling that they were being polite to our faces but did not care much about connecting with a potential new student. I did not feel any genuine caring natures from anyone we encountered, which is something I look for (being a nurse). As soon as we would leave the vicinity of the staff they would be back on their phones. I will never put any of my children here and I recommend parents look elsewhere! My daughter ended up attending Camarillo Progressive Montessori School for the remaining years until she started kindergarten this year. We loved CPMS and the wonderful staff there actually care about the kids! Please look into them instead of this place! read more

All three of my kids have gone here since they were infants and my two year old is still here. We love all the teachers that they have had and some of his favorites are Leesha, Melanie, and Lisa. The staff and director, Jenn, have always been really good to my kids and obviously enjoy taking care of children. I wholeheartedly trust them and feel that my kids have always been really well cared for. Staff is friendly, they do plenty of activities, and the facility is clean. My only gripe is the cost, but it is worth it to know they are safe and happy, which isn't always the case at childcare facilities around here. I highly recommend. read more

KinderCare and Camarillo is an outstanding facility. All their staff, without exception, are outstanding, provide the greatest care and loving environment for the children. We were highly recommend this facility and give them our highest rating. read more

I have had the best experience moving my kiddo to this center. Being a military family we move a lot and I was so worried that my son was going to have a hard transition. That was furthest from our experience! Ms. Jennifer from the beginning was so warm and welcoming and made sure we had all of our questions answered. Also my son's new teacher Ms. Lisa is amazing with him. She is always happy to see him and gives tons of updates on how he is doing during the day. I am so grateful that we have these wonderful ladies! read more

KinderCare is AMAZING!!! It is an incredibly clean, organized, and warm environment. The kids are always engaged with age appropriate learning opportunities. I can't say enough good things about the toddler room teachers Nancy and Samantha. I feel like they really know my daughter. Jennifer, the site director has created a welcoming environment and always available to engage with parents. read more

This has been such a great day care for my toddler! The director, Jen, is amazing and so good at her job. She manages so many moving parts and seriously knows each child and parent, and really tries to work with you if any issues arise or you need schedule changes. My daughter's teachers are all amazing as well. They are so patient and kind and have really supported me in getting comfortable leaving my daughter in their care. I honestly think a lot of the negative reviews are unwarranted and not from people who sent their kids here for a meaningful amount of time, if at all. We are very lucky to have kindercare in town, it is one of two infant centers and they really do a great job. They have an app for parents too that teachers share pictures and info (lunch, diaper changes) throughout the day for parents to stay in tune and even reach out to the teachers with questions. Seriously, we are so lucky to have this place in town and lucky these empathetic and hard working ladies work there! read more

Jen was rude to me because I didn't put my mask on right away. "Don't be that guy" she told me..

I live next to this daycare and let me tell you think twice before bringing your kids here, they get yelled at so much from staff! I could have my TV on, I could be in the shower and I could hear the ladies yelling so loudly and rudely to the kids it's actually so sad and scary. I have recorded it a few times but honestly I don't know what to do with them just yet. Stay away from this place if possible! read more

I called and left a couple of voicemails but I didn't receive any call back . I decided to stop by and check it out directly. When I parked I was able to see a couple of kids just looking outside behind the bars; there were two teachers talking to each other not even looking at the kids, nor doing any physical activity with them. When I walked into the place the receptionist didn't know the answer for any of my questions (starting with the fees, which is basic information). She called the manager but after a couple of minutes she told me she could not answer any other question because she was busy on a meeting. She asked if I could call them later, but I told her I did it before and I showed up there for that reason. This child care center is the closest place to my work so I really want it to be an option; however after everything I saw, I rather to drive anywhere else. read more

I am so pissed at Kindercare I can barely write this nasty review. I will start off with the fact that one day when i went to go pick my son up from school I witnessed one of the aids being very rough with him, stomping up to him, picking him up and throwing him over her shoulder. After witnessing that I started to realize why my son was having a hard time in the program. Needless to say, I decided to not return my son to their program. A few months have gone by and I receive a collections notice in the mail. Not once did Kindercare send me a notice letting me know that I had a balance due. Instead they decide to send me straight to collections. I think that was a really big dicked move on their part. NOT ONE LETTER BEFORE, NOT ONE!! Now i have a negative mark on my credit because of them. Thanks! read more

I have three children, ages 1-7. I work full-time so childcare has been necessary for all of my girls. We've had a full-time nanny, tried an in-home day care, and have had numerous experiences at child care centers in CA, CO, and CT. So, when I speak to my experience with Camarillo KinderCare, I believe I speak with an in-depth knowledge of what else is out there and as a parent with high expectations. We enrolled our 9-month into full-time care in the Infant Room in Aug 2016 and we ended up with more than expected. The center director, in contrast to another posting I read, is ALWAYS on site. It is a very rare day that we don't see Jennifer at the front desk or running around the classrooms. She's very hands-on, knows every child's name, and is tactful and caring. My daughter is now in the Toddlers room and her primary teachers, Kelly and Sarah, are considered family. I trust both the seasoned professionals and those in training and know that my child is not being neglected, that she is learning, that they are teaching her to be independent without letting her do things that endanger herself or could hurt others, and that we are partners in what essentially amounts to co-parenting. I'm pleased to see how deeply my child is cared for and how happy she is to arrive each morning. If you're looking for a safe and nurturing place for your child, this is a place to consider. read more

I LOVE Kindercare Camarillo! My son is currently in the preschool class but he has been going here for over 2 years and he absolutely loves school because of Kindercare. He's always excited to go into his class and see his friends and his "favorite teachers" who he adores. I always feel completely confident and comfortable leaving him with them while I have to work. Every day he comes home and tells me he "had a good day" and tells me all about the things he learned in school. I'm so thankful for his teachers (they are saints) and for this program!! read more

I am so thankful for KinderCare. The provided both my daughters with exceptional care and during the first 5 months of the pandemic. Each day I left feeling confident that they were safe, loved and learning. Communications were timely and I loved the app and receiving pictures of them each day. Thank you Ms Jennifer and the entire team. read more

Started out great. Now, noticed they change staff frequently. They worked with our schedule initially and then a manager left and they stopped working with us completely. No forewarning. Not a long term recommendation. Focus seems to have changed from encouraging individualism to mandating conformist behaviour. read more

If you have experienced this or know of anyone please report and write review this center needs to be shutdown. All staff needs to be reviewed. We were currently with childtime in oxnard but we moved to camarillo and seen that these were within the same daycare corporation we looked into kindercare well this was a big mistake. My son started in toddler area due to potty training which was great for the first 30 days. Then he was moved to prek area and there was two young not qualified teachers more like teacher assistance but they would yell at all the kids to shut up and sit down. I had heard many times a skinny blonde and a girl named brittany telling kids to shit up and sit down. Kids get hit by other kids and nothing happens. My child was hit 3 times and all three times the skin was broken and there was no report. But both teachers complain that kids dont listen and say no to teacher that is always documented. Last, directors are never on site nor do they have any interest in makesure there is a good policy to follow. I would advise all parents to remove your child NOW! Your child is not safe with this daycare center. read more

My husband and I are very happy with the care and love that is shown to our 19 month old twins. The Directors (Miss Jacquie) and Miss Angelina are always so incredibly nice and welcoming, as is all of the faculty at this center! I have noticed a big difference in our children's development over the last several months. I have peace of mind throughout the day, knowing that they are having fun in a healthy/safe learning environment. Our babies particularly love playing outside and singing time! I want to say thank you Camarillo KinderCare for loving and caring for our babies while we are at work! read more

My sister, brother, and l had gone into KinderCare to talk to a close family friend who works there and ask her about the programs they have to offer for the kids. We went in on Tuesday a little close to 5 and a lady that worked in the front office by the entrance was being very rude and unprofessional. I started asking her a question about how high the age limit went for this department and she first did not even acknowledge me and while l was speaking she started a new conversation with a parent that had just walked in then rudely answered my question, as all the parents departed she looked at all of us and said "If we could keep it boring because there will be parents walking in and they're not going to know who the hell we are." Personally l did not like the way we were being treated. read more

I have my daughter at this school. The teachers are very nice and care for my daughter very well. I feel very safe leaving her in the care of the facility while I'm at work. She has learned so much from this school. I would definitely recommend this school. A+ read more

Kindercare-Knowledge Learning Corporation Violation of Child's Personal Rights Camarillo California Kindercare- Knowledge Learning Corporation 2360 Pickwick Camarillo California 93010 I am writing in response to the various actions and what seems to be a cover up taken by the directors at Kindercare-Knowledge Learning Corporation and the corporate office regarding my pre-toddler and the violation of personal rights on several different incidents. We have encountered a serious, ongoing problem involving the quality of care for our child while in the toddler classroom and the lack of a resolution when these numerous issues were addressed to center directors Robin Atmore and Donna Myers-Horton. On July 30, 2007, I walked in early from work and found to my horror, our child woke from nap early and was physically being restrained in a blanket, wrapped like a burrito, with only head out, and was being held down with stomach down by teacher Ms. Shannon. During this restraint, my child was injured and mouth was bleeding. When I questioned Ms. Shannon as to what she was doing and addressed this, she told me she was trying to make him go back to sleep. I addressed this to Robin and Donna, and her answer was that they have a nap policy in place. And told me she was going to have a meeting with her staff, and these are the only results I got regarding this. Later at some point she tried to tell me this was an accident and tried to twist the incident by stating my child was never held down. I walkedin on her and saw what happened! so I am highly upset that she would state something like this to me. I filed a complaint with the state licensing board and they were cited. I didnt take my child out immediatley, because I was a ignorant 1st time young single mother! & Ms. Shannon said she was told to do this by the director and it was an accident! WHAT! I was not being provided with incident reports for any incidents that occurred. For example, I was told by teacher Ms. Shannon on a seperate incident a week after he was injured on the mouth. I expect a report the day it occurs, not weeks later. On August 21, 2007, I picked up my child from the care of teacher Ms. Suh. I did not receive any incident reports nor was never provided with an answer to this incident. My child had a huge bruise on his forehead bigger than the size of a plum. She told me she didn't know how he got it, even though he was in her care. Robin questioned all the teachers, and he did not have a bruise, and got it while in the care of Ms. Suh. Robin told me she did not have an answer to how he got the bruise, and said, "It's one of those Life mysteries". This is unacceptable! Then a few days later, I picked up my son from the care of Ms. Suh, I asked her to change his diaper before we were to leave because she hadn't changed him & he was soaked & had poopy! , She grabbed my son by the arm and pulled him toward the changing table. My son was screaming and crying. So I carried my child away & upon getting him in the car, I noticed red marks on his wrist and it was red and swollen with the impression of finger marks. I addressed this issue to Donna and showed her the marks on his wrist, and she told me that this was an accident and that her staff is trained. I had to take my son to the doctor, as his wrist was still swollen days later and was showing bruising. He was hesitant to use his wrist, and I suspected it may have been sprained. Donna stated Kindercare would pay for the doctor bills, and that she spoke to Ms. Suh and she said she apologized. I filed a police report and I filed a complaint with the State licensing board of CA. For all three issues I got excuses that "our staff is trained and it was an accident". BULLSHIT! , I should have immediatley took our child out after the 1st issue, After this they are lucky me or my child's daddy didnt personally violate the director's very own rights! read more

I have had my daughters enrolled in Kindercare for over two years. My children love going there and have developed a special bond with the teachers. My daughters have to hug each one they see prior to leaving. Teachers like Angelina, Lisa, Sarah, Crystal, Kelli, Gloria and so many more are the reason why I do not worry when I go to work. read more

My 2 year old and 6 year old have been coming here for 2 years. They both love coming to school! The facility is always clean, the staff and teachers are friendly and treat you like family and my children are always involved in fun, age appropriate activities. We love our Camarillo Kindercare! read more
