It has such a family feel, it's like you get the personalized love and attention of in home care but the convenience and curriculum of a larger center. The teachers all go above and beyond to care and teach. when the little one was sad she got extra snuggles. When our older kid was bored they taught her to count in multiple languages. It's such a personal approach to what each kid needs. The other thing the school does that means the world to me is they are so understanding of busy working parents. I forget diapers. I show up 2 minutes after breakfast is over. At no point do they shame the parent, they just ask kindly for whatever we've forgotten when they see us again. They feed breakfast out of the designated time rather than make my kid go hungry on that rare occasion we are running really late. The focus is on the kids, not on the method or schedule. for the price compared to other centers, the value is unmatched!

First, we were impressed by the appearance, security and check-in system. Then the curriculum for the kiddos. Debbie and Raquel are great directors and have a solid plan for the kids. The entire staff there has been great, they even remember names and faces! This Childtime has an app that allow the parents to get text and picture updates throughout the day. As techies, we appreciate this sooooo much. Also they provide cooked breakfast, lunch and good snacks. Our kiddo is a picky eater but has no problem with the meals provided here so it's a win for me and mommy. Anyway, our daughter has been having a blast at this daycare. She enjoys the all the activities here from playtime, the educational and artistic activities, etc. She never wants to leave and she's always happy to be there so as long as she's happy and learning then Childtime is definitely a winner with us.

Prior to attending Kindercare Spring Branch we had our baby at another daycare that had decent reviews, but it wasn't AT ALL what we thought (i'll keep this positive and leave them out of this). Anyways, we were in the market to find a new daycare and came across this location. (I have always loved Kindercare and even attended as a child and have had many family members who worked for the company. All in all, a great place for kind) Since my son has been attending this location we have immediately seen the difference in his social skills, cognition ability and overall attitude, as well as the level of care he is receiving. The director, Ms. Crystal is GREAT. Not only is she super responsive, but she also made our family feel comfortable immediately. I am able to get an almost immediate responses whenever I message with a question and she even follows up via phone call. Our family also loves Ms. Ashley, the assistant director. She is super friendly and has great rapport with both kiddos and parents.I literally feel so comfortable knowing my son is under their management. One thing that I really like about this location is how clean it is, especially during Covid. At our last daycare, my son was constantly sick and would often have dry snot on his face at pick up. This has NEVER HAPPENED at KinderCare Spring Branch. In fact, every time we pick him up hes clean, and smells as good (if not better) than when he arrived. Being a new mom I was worried about leaving my baby in a new spot, especially since you are not able to enter due to Covid restrictions. This anxiety has been put at ease thanks to the periodically snap shots of my sons day. I can see the enriched activities he is participating in and honestly, I can see a major improvement in his cognition due to some of these activities. It was so important for me to find a daycare that kept my baby clean and healthy, but also helped develop him mentally. He has grown substantially in his abilities since being there. I would recommend this daycare 10/10

My son has been attending Spring Branch Kindercare since he's been about 6 months old and he's…read morecurrently 2.5 years old. Prior to daycare we had a nanny but she wasn't what we thought she was, but that's a different story. Anyways we were in a pinch and needed to find a daycare. In a span of one week I toured 4 different daycares. We chose Kindercare because 1. Ms. Crystal is super responsive and during the tour she answered the list of questions we had clearly, 2. Ms. Lorena had been the main teacher in the infant room for a long time (and she's still there and she really was wonderful with our son while he was in the infant room). 3. I really liked how the babies were getting tummy time and they don't use bouncers/rockers or those sit to stand circular play things. The current assistant director, Ms. Ashley is wonderful and I think she's helped improve this Kindercare location. My son was lucky enough to have her as his teacher in the toddler room before she became to assistant director. In the room my son is now in, there has been one teacher (Ms Shay) that's been in that room since he's started and the second teacher/ helper in that room has changed about 2 or 3 times. I think Ms. Shay has been super helpful with my son's potty training. They really try to adhere to what the parent wants, which made it easier to be more consistent with how the potty training is going at home. One of the or major reasons why we like Kindercare is that they will give your child the food you pack him ( if you choose to do that). In the beginning I would pack all of my son's solid foods because I wanted to make sure he was used to the food I cooked and that I could make sure he got plenty of nutrients as we did not want him to start eating meat too early or get too used to the food offered at the daycare. I won't say it's perfect, nothing ever is, but I honestly don't think we could have made a better choice in the grand scheme of things*. And with the covid pandemic, they've stayed open and have taken the proper precautions to keep the teachers and children safe. It's not as easy to talk to the teachers anymore since I don't want to hold them up at pick up, but I have emailed and they are able to get back to me the within 24hrs about my questions about how my son was doing. If there's one negative I think it is the child to teacher ratio. They go with the state limit, so needless to say I think they could use more teachers. *Side story - there was one point where we were seriously upset and wanted to change daycares because of my son getting bit and we weren't sure if the biting would stop. But after talking with Ms. Crystal about the situation, she laid out the plan to deal with it and the biting stopped. Granted we had to get to step 3 of the plan (remove the bitter from the class). But it showed me that they were really willing to fix the issue and not ignore or brush it under the rug.

I'm writing this review while honestly debating whether this place even deserves one star…read more(unfortunately, zero stars isn't an option). My daughter attended this daycare for only one month, but that single month was emotionally exhausting and heartbreaking not only for her, but for us as parents as well. During our initial tour, we were very open, honest, and friendly. We explained clearly that our daughter had never been in daycare before and had only ever been cared for by me and my husband. As first-time parents, we were very firm about our expectations when it came to her safety, well-being, and happiness. We trusted that our concerns were reasonable and that our daughter would be cared for with patience and compassion. At first, things seemed okay. But as time went on, it became painfully clear that our daughter was being neglected. I understand that there are many babies in the classroom, but if caring for 8-10 infants is too much for the staff, then more teachers should be added. I constantly had to call to ask them to put my daughter in her crib because she was being left sleeping in the activity center. That should never have been something a parent has to remind caregivers to do. My daughter was hurt multiple times by other babies, and most of the time the teachers simply sat there and watched it happen even when it was occurring right in front of us during pickup. I completely understand that babies don't have bad intentions, but what I don't understand is why a mother has to call and beg staff to intervene while her child is being grabbed, pushed, or pulled until she ends up hitting her head on the floor. Why should any parent feel the need to constantly watch the cameras just to make sure their child is SAFE? Every time I called to express concern, I could hear the frustration in their voices. You could also see it on their faces especially from the front desk staff and caregivers when they were told I was calling again. One of the most disappointing parts is that the same person who gave us such a reassuring tour was visibly frustrated with us later on. Even knowing they were being watched on camera (muted or not), their facial expressions and body language said everything. We were paying for our baby to be cared for, not simply watched while she got hurt. Babies being babies should never be used as an excuse to not step in. My concerns and requests were completely normal for a mother who loves and wants to protect her child. Our daughter deserves the same level of care, attention, and protection as any other baby in that room. What hurt the most is that no teacher here truly seemed to care for our daughter. They were rough with her. When she cried, they would shove a pacifier into her mouth instead of comforting her. They acted caring and attentive during drop-off and pickup, but watching the live cameras told a very different story. Seeing our baby treated this way was heartbreaking and traumatizing, especially for first-time parents who already struggle with the guilt of leaving their child in someone else's care. Every day after work, I drove like a maniac just to get to her as fast as I could because I felt like I needed to save her. I was always polite, respectful, and understanding. Yes, I called often. Yes, I asked questions. But that's because we love our daughter. I know I'm not the only parent who feels this way. I even made sure to send small gifts here and there as thank-yous whenever I could. Despite all of that, we were let down by everyone at this location. We truly hoped this daycare would work out for our family, but it didn't. Bringing our daughter here caused nothing but stress, fear, and emotional trauma for all of us. Her safety, happiness, and well-being are not negotiable. Taking her out of this daycare was the best decision we could have made as parents. Our daughter is now at a new daycare, and on her very first day she didn't cry once. Every photo showed her smiling, happy, and comfortable. The teachers treat her with genuine care and patience not just doing the bare minimum. The difference is night and day, and that alone speaks volumes. I'm sharing this not out of anger, but out of honesty. I truly hope this review encourages this location to reflect, improve staffing, and treat every baby with the care, love, and protection they deserve because these are defenseless children who rely entirely on the adults around them.

*FYI this is a long review*…read more From the first day my 3 year old started ,I began to see that this was not going to be a good fit for my son. He was in the pre-k 1 class with Ms. Jennifer. So my review is mostly based off of our experience in Pre K 1. Now she wasn't a mean teacher but she is not an involved teacher. - She did not greet in the mornings or I would have to say good morning first to her for her to acknowledge us walking in. When I walk in with my son, she never for one day ever greeted or acknowledged my son in the mornings when we walked in. - When the door is closed during drop off times in the morning she did not look up to see who walked in. That bothered me because, to me that means anybody could walk into the room and she wouldn't of initially see who it was, I could of been anybody just randomly walking into the classroom. - My son never had the comfort of the teacher , to help him transition into his new environment most of the day she just sits there. Maybe it's just me, but I like teachers who are hands on and talk to the kids, actually sit and do activities with the kids. Even when it's free time and they're are playing but just actually getting up and walking around and getting to know the kids and building relationships with them. Not just being a babysitter. I could go somewhere else for cheaper if I wanted a babysitter. - I told them that my son still needed a little help with the potty, just for a little bit. I saw from the camera that the kids just get up and go on their own which is fine for the ones who can do everything with no assistance. But I specifically said if the teacher can just make sure he's ok and may need a little help with pulling his pants all the way down so he wouldn't tinkle on his clothes and pulling them up correctly and just reminding him to go because he just became potty trained and needed reminders. But she never did that. The thing that concerned me the most was the kids that may not be fully potty trained what if they poop?? Some 3 yrs can't wipe their own butts yet, so without the teachers help I bet some kids are walking around without wiping properly. Thank goodness my son never went number 2 there. - One morning we saw on the camera that every child lined up to go outside had a jacket on but my son went outside without a jacket on , mind you it's in the low 50's. My husband immediately called them asked them where is his jacket ? He even went up there to make sure they gave him his jacket. I don't know how she missed that he wasn't wearing a jacket, especially since every child had one on. - In the mornings when I dropped him off every day was a struggle for him to go into the room he would just keep telling me" I don't want to go in there" , I would have to pick him up and carry him in just for him to go into the room. He wasn't crying he was just saying it over and over again. Mind you this is not his first daycare facility. He's been in care since 15 months. He genuinely didn't like it in that room. Now a teacher who actually was involved and liked their job would of came over to help me ,help him have an easier transition. She is his teacher and has to be with her the whole day, it is important for a teacher to make an effort into building a trusting relationship with each child especially when they are new. She could of came over and talked to my son, you know just warm up to him, make him feel comfortable there, she did none of that. Nothing to help him feel welcomed. - His teacher never smiled , at least I never did. She didn't have an inviting personality, she was just there, if that makes sense. She legitimately did the bare minimum to maintain her job. Watch the kids and make sure they don't get hurt, do circle time, feed them and that's it. Being a Pre K teacher you have to have a friendly , open and inviting personality. I believe that's what helps kids thrive, feeling that genuine love and care from a teacher makes kids feel comfortable and just makes them happy to come to school everyday. My son didn't feel that and I believe that's what made him not like going there. -I left medicine with them for him to take every 4 hours for his cough, I filled the form out, I told the director the times, she even wrote it down. But when they gave it back to me at the end of the day. I noticed that the bottle was still the same amount as when I have it to them in the morning. He was suppose to have 2 doses that day while at school. I didn't even bother calling about it because that was the last straw me, I pulled my son from there. And this is after already having a conversation with his teacher and the director. We would of tried moving classrooms but there was no room for him to move to another class because it was full and will not have room until August of this year. So I felt the best thing for now was to just go somewhere else.

These people love my girl and she loves them. We left our other daycare program at our local church for so many reasons and KRK took care of every single issue we had. Here are the reasons I love KRK TOMBALL: 1. Open 6:00 AM - 6:30 PM 2. They serve/provide all the food (peanut free school as well) 3. 11 holidays off the entire year (our old program had 35 DAYS OFF from August to May!! ) 4. Open all year long/ no summer breaks 5. Within very close proximity of our home 6. Cameras 7. No car rider lines/just park - also no issues with pickup because parents all pickup kids at different times of the day 8. Tip top security (mirrored windows, fences that are shaded in, coded entry, etc.) 9. Procare app - they utilize this app for classroom transfers, bathroom breaks, nap times, what they are learning that day, incident reports if any (booboos and treatment), and fun pictures when they play outside. 10. The cost is worth everything they provide here - esp the peace of mind (we pay $285/week for a 2T toddler 5 days a week) 11. f you request off in advance they let you take the week off cost free for a vacation (after being there a year) 12. If you refer anyone to KRK they give you and the referral a week off of pay! I could probably come up with 20 more things about why I love this school. On top of having everything together, the staff genuinely seems to love their jobs and working with little ones as I never see much turnaround. Thank you KRK Tomball for being one of the best things to ever happen to our family! We appreciate you more than you know.

This establishment does not care about the families and children. The facility has been closed for…read morean entire week and is still continuing to charge full price tuition. No services, no resources, and no teaching has been provided. We were trying to be understanding of the circumstances and suggested the week to be prorated or potentially pay half tuition. The owners and director did not even address the families and are still demanding full pay. (Again, for no service being provided). We are extremely disappointed in KRK as they do not take into consideration the working families having to take off work (not getting paid) and still having to pay full price for no services being provided. How is it fair that working families do not get paid if we do not go to work, but your employees get full pay for doing absolutely nothing for the week?
