The Orchards Childcare and Preschool is better than I could have imagined a childcare center could…read morebe. I currently have my two children enrolled at the Orchards. I am particularly impressed with how the caregivers and teachers take a genuine interest in the progress and lives of each of the children in their class. Whenever I've had questions, the Orchards Director has been easy to reach and prompt in her responses. The classrooms have been recently renovated and are kept clean. There is a good variety of age appropriate and safe toys in all of the classrooms. Security is well maintained with video monitoring, keypad access to facilities and fenced outdoor play areas. I love the phone application that they use for the secure check in and out procedure, as well as the photo updates throughout the day. Their Junior Kindergarten class is quite robust in its educational curriculum. The lead Junior Kindergarten teacher has been teaching young students for over 20 years, I believe. I'm honestly impressed at the progress my four year old has made behaviorally and educationally. They also have done a great job at offering events throughout the year. Kids Christmas program, picture days, Easter egg hunts, "pumpkin patch" etc. I couldn't recommend the Orchards more.

KinderCare East Hill is an absolute gem of a daycare! Abby, the director, is just wonderful -…read morealways so welcoming and helpful. The care and structure provided at this center are top-notch. I love the unique setup with the 1/2 walls and open floor plan. the children often play in a Montessori type style. My children, ages 10 months and 4 years, absolutely thrive at KinderCare. My 4 year old is constantly coming home with new things she has learned, thanks to the caring and attentive teachers. Even my little one, who was initially hesitant to drink his bottle, has been showered with love and attention by the infant staff - and he's now much more comfortable meeting new people. What truly warms my heart is how understanding and accommodating the staff is of our family's beliefs and dietary restrictions. The kitchen staff went above and beyond to ensure that our children are well-fed and cared for, and that means the world to us. I am so grateful for the care and love that KinderCare East Hill has provided for my children. It's a safe and nurturing environment, and I couldn't recommend it more to any parent looking for a wonderful place for their little ones to grow and learn.

Hello, I've been apart of the kindercare family for over 12…read moreyears. I absolutely love kindercare !! That being said I've experienced south kindercare (which we loved from their care to their staff was phenomenal). Normandy Park - also great staff. Auburn kindercare which was also great. They have such a great curriculum. Which played such a huge role in me returning my children to Kindercare's. However, I must express my disappointment. We have been attending just over a month and between billing and a few other mishaps I must say my experiences have changed. I want to start with the biggest issue I've had (BILLING) , and I don't like putting my business out in public but I feel this needs to be recognized- I get help with childcare , and I have my portion in which I gladly pay because as of now holding a job with one income is hard enough. Most places bill monthly and drop one bill - this location has dropped 3 bills on me insisting I pay more than what I'm required to pay -and then it reflects negatively on my children in what they are getting in their programs. I am very frustrated with this because people get help for many reasons and to allow it to project in the classes singling children out is so horrible (and reflects negatively on the staff and how they lack the children's well-being -mentally). No other kindercare has done this in the past and now I'm starting to feel insecure about the staff chosen at this location and how they address their billing. I have never felt discriminated due to my billing assistance until now. Since when is registration billed separately and it's required to be paid separately from my assistance? And since when is the summer program an additional $80 / kid ? And again not dropped with the main bill ?? I have 2 children in daycare - being on assistance $120 + $160 additional fees on top of my regular copay on a single income is extremely hard. This has truly stressed me out and I have to say I feel since I've started we have been targeted. Not to mention the forms that I was harassed to get my doctors to fill out when it say's recommended not required by doctor and I was told "this is not correct" because the way it was dispensed is different from the way it's dispensed for another child. It's very frustrating that this is happened and now I'm just incredibly uncomfortable at this location. Other than that everything is great. My kids are enjoying it as usual. But I myself am just disappointed.

It is hard to decide how many stars to list. The caregivers here are friendly, very loving, happy…read moreand seem to enjoy the children. They are actively involved in playing with the kids and the place is clean. The part that isn't readily apparent when you tour this home-based childcare is that there are no caregivers present who speak English for 99% of the day. This may or may not be an issue for you. But, for small children who are just developing their language skills, it is a challenge. Just as important, my child wasn't able to communicate to the providers: my tummy hurts, he hit me, etc. And, I wasn't able to communicate with them during drop off or pick up: she has been emotional this morning, she didn't sleep well last night. But for the communication challenges, we would have stayed here, but it did not work for us.

Thankfully, sending my kids to Rainier Christian Schools' Little People Preschool has never been one of those choices I've doubted. I know when I drop them off my kids are greeted by teachers who love them, they learn more about the Bible and have weekly Chapel, and have developed wonderful friendships with other kids at school. One of the reasons I also chose this preschool is because my son was 4 and still having trouble potty training, and they have a special classroom devoted to potty training, and within 3 months of joining he was fully potty trained! I am continually thankful that we chose RCS for our family and that our kids are thriving there.
