I have never sent my child to daycare so I was very hesitant and nervous. I had my aunt come with me on every tour I went on, and we both agreed on so many things. Kinder care we both agreed felt the most comfortable, welcoming, and just more at home/down to earth. For the price you pay for child care we expect to be able to show something for it, whether it be excitement at the end of the day, or fun activities, anything really. And Kinder Care provides that. My child was nervous going to daycare as was I, this was a huge step for us both. He's 5 and I was waiting for the water works to start as soon as day 1 came. But to my surprise he was excited, I think the fact that they had some kind of activity everyday planned out got him interested. Not only that but as his parent I felt comfortable when they actually looked out for my child. Day 1 we walked into his age group and he was uncomfortable, wouldn't leave my side, didn't talk to anyone. The director Eryn came in after watching him and told me she thought he would be most comfortable in another classroom. I said whatever you think, we pulled him into a different age group and the difference just walking into the other classroom compared to the first was HUGE. He immediately sat down and started playing and he wasnt even nervous anymore. Its been a few weeks since we started our journey and I currently have nothing negative to say. He is so happy every time I pick him up, tells me all the stuff he is doing, and is getting some great interactions/making friends. I also want to add I love that everyone seems to recognize everyone. It didnt take long before staff just started knowing not only my child's name but putting my face to the child. I also have to give a special shout out to his teacher Miss Denise, he thinks she is the best! She has also been super helpful in being extra considerate when he may have a hard day here and there and not only do I appreciate it, but he does too. He said she really cares.

I've been sitting on this for a few months now, just praying on whether I should even say anything…read more But after seeing another parent finally find the courage to speak up about how they treat folk here, I knew not to keep quiet any more. My daughter actually pulled my grandbaby out of this program a while back, and a big part of that was because the way the front office carries themselves I'll never forget the day I went in there to pick up my grandbaby. I had a simple question about the sign-out, and the way the lady from the office spoke to me... it was just demanding. It was not just being "busy" it was a "better-than-you" attitude that made me feel like a nuisance just for standing there. At my age, I've dealt with plenty of schools and programs, and I know when someone is looking down their nose at you. It's a shame because you're trusting these people with your heart and soul, but they act like giving you a respectful answer is doing you a favor. If the admins can't show a grandmother some basic professional respect, they probably can't show a grandbaby any respect either, you know what I'm saying?

It wasn't the most technical, or fancy but I felt the teachers really cared about their kids. My son loves it there and he has learned so much. He started at 10 months and now he is almost 15 months. Looking forward to keeping him here until he starts kindergarten.

Lauren (the Director) made room for our daughter and she THRIVED during her time there. The teachers were wonderful, the facility was clean, and I knew she was safe.

Our daughter has been in daycare since she was one year old, and this was truly one of the best schools. I would recommend GA to anyone!

Leaving our daycare of more than five years was a very difficult decision, but the distance became…read morechallenging once my oldest started kindergarten. That's what led us to El Campito. It felt like home from my first visit, and two years later, that never changed. There's a true sense of family throughout El Campito from every single person you interact with (from the Directors to the parents). Matched with transparency and a strong commitment to each child's safety, learning, and individual needs. They helped my son learn ways to manage his big emotions that he now uses at home. A few other things I highly value at El Campito: seeing (and smelling!) fresh food prepared at morning drop off, consistent communication through their app, clear policies and procedures, and open communication. El Campito is truly one of a kind, and I cannot recommend them enough.

We feel it important to mention that ALL of our children are brown-skinned, and one has Down Syndrome. The actions of this entire staff show that they put the growth, development and Cultivation of students first, pushing for academic achievement and taking every opportunity to celebrate achievements. Our children have truly thrived in academic success, being on Academic teams and soaring, and connecting to opportunities that are fun and beneficial to their confidence and life. This school stands on advocacy for family support in whatever way is needed as we have witnessed this first-hand. They are humble servants from the Principal down to the service providers. We and our children are truly blessed to have this school. We have experienced other schools in the area that systematically turn a blind-eye to unethical operations and practices. This school takes safety seriously, is a breath of fresh air and proves that God will always make a way. Thank you Principal Masterson, Staff, and magnificent PTA. You are hands down the best run school on the planet; if everyone in the world operated like you, it would be like heaven. GO BOBCATS! The Hughes/Cherry Family
