Unfortunately the worst experiences endured. Director or…read morelack of, was very disconnected. During our very short stay after a long waiting period consisted of our child only attending 37% of the paid time due to sickness. One time resulting in contracting RSV. The staff was compromised due to lack of direction and or positive affirmation from the director. It cost me more money to have my child out sick than him being there. Most importantly my child's well being. They even forgot to feed my infant for 5 1/2 hours and laid him in a crib to scream himself to sleep. To remedy we stuck reminder stickers with feeding times "feed me at 7:30" . I pray the State looks into this establishment. One benefit was the regional director. Her influence on the center could not be implemented due to her subordinates. If you care for your child DO NOT LET THEM CARE FOR YOUR CHILDREN.

My daughter has been at this KinderCare for the past four months. She started when she was four…read moremonths old. Previous to this, she was at a different local daycare. Needless to say, we were less than satisfied at her previous daycare. Although that particular daycare provided live streaming of the infant room (which was a large selling point for me at the time), I found myself constantly distracted by the footage while at work mainly because I was concerned about the level of care she was receiving. It became quite disruptive to my workday. This previous daycare required that I write them each morning to tell them what time I would be dropping off my daughter. Anyone who has small children knows how chaotic and unpredictable the morning routine can be, and this became an added stress. Despite dropping my daughter off after they opened, I would be met with obvious sighs and eye rolls from staff if I showed up before 8am. Additionally, this previous daycare would frequently call and have me leave my work early to pick up my daughter for being "fussy," insisting she was sick when she wasn't (I am a doctor, so I can actually tell these things). All of these factors contributed to us moving to KinderCare and I have no doubt in my mind that we made the right decision. From the moment we entered KinderCare for a tour, I was blown away. They are a well-oiled machine and the process of drop offs and pick ups is streamlined. Their professionalism and communication are unmatched. I feel like my daughter gets so much care and attention from the staff. It honestly feels like she is with family when I take her to KinderCare. I love that we get periodic updates and photos throughout the day without the added pressure of livestream, which actually can be more of a burden than a help. I feel like the price is more than reasonable for the care our daughter receives. She has continued to thrive at KinderCare. She is meeting all of her developmental milestones and she couldn't be happier or healthier. So glad we made the switch to KinderCare!

I never feel out of the loop about what my kid is learning or how she's doing. they actually keep parents in the loop which as a mom is everything. the hours work well for working parents, 7am to 5:30pm gives you real flexibility which is hard to find at quality preschools in Fresno. the learning environment is hands on and engaging. looking at the photos you can see kids actually doing things, creating, exploring, not just sitting at desks. that approach matters at this age. W Spruce Ave location is convenient and the facility is clean and safe. five stars across every review means this isn't just my experience, it's consistent. if you're looking for a private preschool in Fresno where your child will genuinely thrive, The Growing Patch is the one. we are so grateful we found it.

As a first-time mom seeking care for my infant, I was filled with worry and uncertainty about…read moreleaving my baby with "strangers". I hesitated to take a tour initially because of the location, but what reassured me was the live access to cameras. During the tour, the assistant director and the director made me feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. My initial impressions were positive--having secure codes to enter and mirrors for safety measures truly gave me peace of mind. I was also impressed by how well-staffed the school is, and during the tour, I noticed each staff member warmly acknowledging each child's name, which touched my heart. My son started at just three months old. It was incredibly difficult to leave him for the first time, but every teacher, including the assistant and the director, made me feel accepted and understood, easing my anxiety. The director is truly wonderful--she goes out of her way to support each family. When she shifted the school hours earlier to accommodate families needing care, it made a significant difference in my daily routine, allowing me to say goodbye to my son with less stress and have meaningful conversations with his teachers before heading to work. Being able to drop off earlier and still stay connected with his teacher really means a lot to me, as I am also a teacher myself. The 6:30 am opening means a lot. I am deeply grateful to all the staff, especially the assistant director and the director, for making my family feel so welcomed and cared for. To any new mom looking for infant care, I wholeheartedly recommend this place. You will find comfort, support, and peace of mind here.

The employees all seem pretty nice & my son has came home each day and said what a blast he's had. I like that they provide meals & so many different activities for the kids. It's a little pricey but worth it if you need care. I also like that they don't charge for the hours and that it's a one-time fee for the week. You can drop them off between 6:30am and pick them up at 6pm. The parking can get a little packed but it's a great place for your kid to be if you need care!

Enrolling her here was my saving grace when I went back to work, and it still is.

We enjoy the summer activities, holiday festivities and everything else they put together for the kids and families. It was an easy decision when it came to enrolling our second child. And since we already had that rapport built with the administrative staff and great relationships with the teachers, we were still comfortable starting our child in the infant classroom (even though our first didn't start there). Zero regrets. The app is great for communicating the Ms. Tasha and the teachers. Response times are great, and the attitudes of the teachers are always positive.
