My daughter is now 18.5 months and she's been going to KCLC since she was 5.5 months old. She's in the infant class which is from 0-24 months.
1. They cook their own food so they're more nutritious than the ones that other day care provides who order fastfood.
2. They have lots of toys and my daughter really likes the indoor slide. She's got lots of practice at it that whenever she sees a slide, it doesn't take her long to climb up on it even if the slide is twice her height.
3. The teachers are very loving. My husband and I were looking for a facility where my daughter would feel like she's being taken care of by a family member and KCLC fits that description best. My daughter really loves her teachers especially Teacher Nvart.
4. They have teachers in the morning and different teachers in the afternoon. Since we drop off our daughter at 7:30am and picks her up at 5:30pm, I am often relieve to know that the teachers are not with the kids all day. It takes a lot of energy to take care of one infant, how much more four infants. There is one teach per four infants.
5. The kids at the day care are very happy and outgoing. Whenever we drop off our daughter, the other kids would greet her and some of the older ones would even say her name.
6. Whenever we pick up our daughter, the other kids would also come over with smiling faces and say hi. Yes, sometimes they are crying babies. However, the times where there were crying babies were a lot lower than the times when we saw happy babies.
7. The playground is very nice. I would prefer if the playground is covered so they can go outside even if it's just drizzling or very hot during summer. However, since my daughter is in the infant program, playing outside wasn't as important as it is now because she has lots of room to crawl inside when she was younger and does not require as much lot area.
8. There's always somebody who picks up the phone when I call. I do not like leaving a voicemail.
9. When my daughter had rashes from a medicine that her daughter prescribe, the staff at KCLC let us know right away. It wasn't a life threatening situation according to my pediatrician's office so my husband picked her up from the facility and took her to the doctor.
10. The teachers in the afternoon don't speak English like a native speaker. However, I am able to understand them. I think it's good to expose my daughter to another language anyways. My daughter gets lots of hugs from her teachers and I think that's the best form of communication at the infant level. To know that they are loved.
11. One time, we picked up my daughter and she had a bite mark on her face and another time, her face was scratched. My husband and I were very upset like any parent would. However, if I were there, I don't think I could have prevented it anyways. I could be a stay at home mom and not let other kids be near my daughter. But I was a child myself. I've had bruises even if I was all by myself and I really prefer to have other kids play with my daughter and that fighting cannot be avoided. I did see them breaking up a fight several times so it's good that kids learn how to treat each other nicely early on.
12. Price is also good. We pay $140 per week. I think it's now $160 for incoming infants.
13. They open from 6am-6pm. read more
