Most which had been more than 5 years ago, and it appears a lot has changed since then. That said, I have to do my due diligence to leave a review. I had enrolled my son (7) to KKRB in 2023 for the convenience it is across the street from Riverview Elementary where he attends school. We want the best care for our cubs, right? So we scope out the ideal place with the people that provide the proper care for our babies. At the beginning I had found the staff to all be very kind, caring, and compassionate with all that they do. Gradually, overtime, I kept receiving reports that my son is defiant, bothersome to others, and it's your son, your son, your son. The bigger picture? My son's needs weren't met (he has asthma, doesn't want to play outside and was urged to be outside). As he may be defiant or bothersome to others, I empathize the annoyance of such behavior, but he has special needs. He is formally diagnosed not just with one diagnoses, but with two. The staff was informed, but in the course of time, I felt unwelcoming vibes and the off energy of wanting to be there to care for my son. My son verbalized he hates it there, and others are mean to him. I know my son has a lack of interest, too transparent, and non-participant of activities. BUT he has ADHD and Autism. He isn't a victim of these, nor does this define him. However, I believe all staff should be educated in the care of kids with special needs not just with my sons' diagnosis, but with any kid that comes through those doors for your services. People who work/care for kids should be certified or educated with the tools on how to manage these types of babies/kids. We all need to be made aware and educated than to be ignorance of the stigma in that it is the kids behaviors and not the care providers. Only then, we can foster an environment for kid's personal and developmental growth. Thank you!

    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!

    Update: My goodness have we been with KidsPark for 10 years?!? Where has the time gone? As time has…read moremarched on our two oldest have aged out but our youngest; who also enjoyed KP's preschool program; still gets excited to go. Our oldest, now 16, loved KP. As a child with autism, it was difficult to find anyone in a care facility that word help. I remember the frustration, fear, & agony feeling like I was in this alone. More times than not, my boy would follow me to work and around; my shadow I'd call him, all while hating myself for desperately needing the respite. Literally KP to the rescue. Now let me be clear, it wasn't always kittens and rainbows; he loves it there and the staff is always lovely with him. However, there were times when he would become too overwhelmed & I'd have to p/u. KP is NOT a special needs facility, although they TRY to accommodate, have huge hearts, and typically won't turn a kid away for that reason. But sometimes it can all be too much for everyone. And it's never a good to stay in that situation. ALL mom's know that. In those instances it was better to bring my guy home. Where he could relax or fall apart in his own home with dignity and without fear of peer embarrassment. Now SPN Mamas: The behaviors that will get a call are the same as everywhere; KP will try to work with it a little longer than regular daycares though, @ least what I've found. "Plan B's" are always welcome for suggestions to the staff too. But any hitting, biting, self-harming behavior is going to be a ride home. Also, if "Bubba" won't redirect, then you have to keep in mind there are other kids there & they all parrot the "undesired" behavior. Additionally no electronics or toys. I know that's rough for some of our kiddos, but there is plenty there and you honestly don't want them or another kid breaking "that thing". Now as far as our other 2 NT (neurotyoical) babes; they loved and still love it. I tell everyone if they need a break to take their kiddos here. But please keep in mind the philosophy: "It takes a village". Your help and expertise on your SPN or NT kiddo is key. Together everyone can work to ensure your babe has the best time.

    I never thought I'd be leaving a one star review because, at first, we genuinely liked Kids Park…read more My children looked forward to going, and I appreciated the fun activities and arts and crafts they were able to do in such a short amount of time. Unfortunately, my opinion completely changed after my 3 year old daughter was inappropriately grabbed on her butt by another child while in Kids Park's care. When I brought my concerns initially to a staff member, they said they would let the manager know , and after poor follow up I called again and spoke to another staff member , and on my 3rd call it was the owner, who told me she had spoken with the staff and that no one had seen anything happen. I trusted that response, even though it left me with unanswered questions. Because I still had concerns, I filed a complaint with Community Care Licensing. I recently learned that my complaint was substantiated and that Kids Park was investigated in connection with another complaint. Learning this made me feel like I had not been given the full picture when I first sought answers. I hope Kids Park takes meaningful steps to improve supervision, communication, and child safety so that no other family has to go through what ours did.

My son started at Little Einstein at 9 months old, which was 4 years ago. My daughter started at 5 months old, 2 years ago. Carolina and her family are truly amazing. She genuinely cares about each child and creates a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where they can learn and grow. It's clear that they take the time to get to know each child's personality and help them build confidence, independence, and a love of learning. She has taught my kids so many things to prepare them for school and life. She is so sweet and kind. She makes all home cooked healthy meals for the kids that my children rave about. They throw special parties for birthdays and holidays. She is always doing fun crafts that I cherish. My children are treated like part of her family in her beautiful home. We have been so happy with Little Einstein that we had our friend's son join as well. As parents, there is no better feeling than dropping your children off knowing they are happy, well cared for, and excited to be there. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Little Einstein and highly recommend them to any family looking for a daycare that feels like an extension of home.

We've been with Ms. Carolina for the past two years, and I'm so thankful for the care she has given my daughter. When my daughter was around 20 months old, she went through a stage where she didn't want to eat, drink, or play much. Ms. Carolina kept me updated every day, and we worked together to help her through it. Thankfully, it didn't last long, and now she's eating and drinking well again. I also love that Ms. Carolina cooks fresh meals every day and makes sure the kids drink plenty of water, especially during the hot weather. My daughter was also potty trained at daycare when she was a little over 2 years old, which was a huge help for us. As a full-time working parent, having a daycare I can trust has been such a relief. Ms. Carolina has also been very flexible with early drop-offs and late pick-ups when I needed them, and I really appreciate that. I definitely recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a caring, reliable, and loving place for their child. We're so grateful for everything Ms. Carolina has done for our daughter.
