After recently moving to the area from the Bay Area, we were searching for a day care for our twins. We purchased a Groupon to try this center out and haven't left! My twins come home and amaze me with what they are learning. The things that come out of their mouths are remarkable. I often find myself wondering, "where in the heck did you learn that?!" From the amazing teachers and staff at Lexington Hills KinderCare, of course! Everyone is really wonderful and care about the development and well being of the kids. Love the staff so much that I am now also sending my infant here for care. read more

They lost my five year old and ended up leaving him on a bus for several hours strapped to his seat crying for help. Afterwards my son was made to feel like he did something wrong and that is why he was left behind. Would not trust this place with my babies safety! This incident happened 03/20/2023. My yelp reviews keep getting deleted so their approval rating goes up. I will keep posting what happened to my son and warning parents who may be looking for daycare services. read more

Lexington Hills KinderCare - News reports - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Folsom, California

My five year old son was left strapped to the seat of Kindercare Lexington Hills bus on Monday March 20th. He was picked up from his PM kindergarten class at 2:45, arriving at the facility by 3:20pm. Due to the caregiver in charge not doing certain protocols my son was completely forgotten, strapped to a seat on the bus. Additionally no other staff member raised any alarms so they also did not follow protocols. At 4:50 my husband arrived at the facility and was told " we don't know, we haven't seen him since that morning". Once my husband threatened to call the police did they start looking for my baby. My son was located 12 minutes later. He was crying flushed drenched in sweat, hungry and thirty. As a mom who could have lost her baby for the negligence of this daycare, I am furious. My baby is now seeing a counselor for nightmares. read more

Lexington Hills KinderCare - My son was trapped on the bus for hours alone and terrified. - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Folsom, California

My child attended this facility many years ago. In light of recent events where they left a young boy in a bus for several hours I'll share my thoughts on this business. My son attended for a little over a year. In 7 months' time, his class cycled through 4 teachers. The business was having a tough time retaining staff. I believe part of this was due to poor leadership. The lady who was in charge clearly played favorites with teachers and parents. It was very easy to see. The last teacher my son had would just sit in a chair and holler at the kids with minimal interaction. My son soon began to throw fits before school. It was clear he did not feel comfortable at Kindercare. Once we moved him to a different daycare company the fits stopped and he thrived. Looking back on my emails I found that I had to request twice for Kindercare to acknowledge our termination request. Looks like nothing has changed between then and now. read more

Our children have been attending Lexington Hills Kindercare for over a year and we couldn't be happier. I have felt all my children are well taken care of, nurtured, and so loved while attending each of their classes. The teachers and staff are so caring and have created such a nurturing environment. They are so accommodating, helpful, understanding and knowledgeable. I am so grateful for this location specifically and appreciate all the support they have provided to our family. Thank you Kindercare Lexington Hills! read more

Amazing people, they are awesome with my daughter. They meet all her needs and everything

They've come a long way since February. Ms. Jess is working hard to bring up the reputation that was so bad not so long ago. School age program has improved a lot since then. read more

Lexington Hills Kindercare has been our primary childcare since moving to the area in 2019. At the time, I had toured 10 facilities in the area and I chose this location because I really enjoyed talking to the director and assistant director. The place was clean, the kids seemed happy and well cared for. My son was 3 when he started, and since he was small, he'd been previously babied and very behind in verbal communication. Within weeks at Kindercare he was speaking full sentences. I now have my daughter there since 3 months, and we've been very happy with them. I can't say enough glowing things about the infant room caretaker. When we had a medical emergency in the family, she and her team made me a care package. It's little things like this that go beyond just being a corporate center. With the recent incident, we had our concerns about staying. We met with the Regional Director and talked about our concerns. We feel confident that they're taking what happened very seriously and they never want something to happen again. We were told about their safety review, trainings, and the new trainings that will be coming in the future. The woman that was fired had not lived up to requirements and with her departure, the Regional Director is reviewing and scrutinizing every part of the center personally. My kids love the teachers, and I still put my trust in this Center and the wonderful people there. There's improvement that we want to see in the next few months, but we have no doubt they'll get there. read more

Terribly managed facility with no attention given to children. Avoid at all cost sending your kids. The facility stinks with no regular cleaning. Poor hygiene. Staff lacks empathy towards young kids and mostly focus on clocking their hours. No wonder they had a serious issue with leaving one of the child behind in their bus. Do not make the mistake of leaving your child in their facility. read more

My daughter has been going to Kinder care in Folsom Lexington Hills for the past 1 year and a few months and We love it there! My daughter has learned so much and all the teachers are wonderful! read more

We have been sending our son (2+) to KinderCare for over 3 months now and we really like the staff and the program they have for kids. I had enquired about the school from other colleagues and found this to be one of highest as per recommendations. They have a good atmosphere, conducive environment for toddlers to grow their skills and enrich their cognitive abilities. Another benefit is they offer Intel discount. The only reason this is not a 5 star from our side is that school does not seem to impose sick child policy and having sick children in the class triggers others (our son included) falling sick . May be this is by design but it sure does tax our work/life balance and his health. We also find that the kids are not pursued to finish their meals or eat what they SHOULD eat. If your kid is not proactive in eating his/her food, you will have to take extra care in making sure you are compensating for the lack of enough food the kid is receiving at the day care. That is the reason we pulled our son from full day to half day schedule. read more

Our toddler started at this facility ~1 year ago. One of the main reasons why I picked Kindercare was their ability to coordinate with my changing schedule and the fact that they are a bigger institution that takes food allergies very seriously. We have a few dietary restrictions and both Ms Jody & Ms Tara have contacted me on products that were either new or which we had to look at ingredient lists for. Since starting there our toddler was able to potty train and move from the two to three year old class room. I love that if there's anything of real importance the teachers are always able to communicate that with me. I feel like everyone here knows my child and in turn she knows them and will always say hello/goodbye to them. I couldn't have been happier to have picked Kindercare for our daycare/preschool :)! read more

My daughter has been attending Lexington Hills Kindercare since she was 5 months old. It is worth the money to have her in a safe, friendly environment, where she is not just babysat, but taught. I have looked at other centers locally and found none that even compare to the clean, beautiful facility and wonderful staff. When we have any problems we know that we can talk to the Director and find a resolution quickly. read more

We moved our now 2 year old to Kindercare after a bad experience with an in home daycare. I was hesitant to put her in a "center" thinking she may not get the time and attention she would receive at an in home daycare - I could not have been more wrong. From her first day at Kindercare the entire staff was friendly, attentive and more than accommodating. Our daughter has been at Kindercare for over a year and words cannot express the positive changes we've seen in her. Everyday she comes home singing a new song and with new words added to her vocabulary. She loves going to "school" in the morning to play with her friends and we couldn't ask for anything more. The staff at Kindercare has been wonderful - we chose this location because of Jodi the director - she is incredibly involved and is always available to answer any questions. Our daughter's teacher, Ms. Ivanna, has been wonderful and has a way of teaching that gets the kids excited everyday. We feel very fortunate to have found this center and will be enrolling our next child here with no hesitation. read more

I can't even begin to express how wonderfull the staff here is. They cater to your child's every need. From the moment you walk in the door to this center, you feel as if you're in a home away from home. It may sound like a cliche, but i promise it's true! Sure, the pricing is a bit high, but it is well worth it! We had to move out of folsom, but other wise my daughter would still be here! Hated to leave. read more

I was so impressed with this location. I have toured a few other KinderCare locations, and you can tell that the center's director takes her job very seriously. Everything was neat, clean and child friendly. It was a hard decision to change preschool centers, but I feel confident in Lexington Hills KinderCare. read more

Before I decided on this place, I looked into several other locations in the area as well as other companies, but this Kinder Care really stood out. This team is always looking for ways to make learning fun. I really feel they go above and beyond the learning programs of a typical preschool (and even other KinderCares) by sticking to a well structured plan and engaging families with after school functions, additional/specialized learning programs, and events. The teachers each have their own styles, but everyone we have worked with have the same end goal; to make sure our little one is happy and progressing in her learning and development. They are definitely pricier than most schools (and sometimes I feel like I'm working just to cover the cost-lol), but to us, the extra expense is 100% worth it! A+ read more

Let me start by saying it is not easy to find a day care that checks all, or even most, of the boxes - the most important being that you trust the staff enough to leave your child(ren) with them for a chunk of the week. Lucky for us, KinderCare Lexington Hills was our last stop of many day care facilities as we made the decision to have our baby girl attend starting at 3 months old. My husband and I needed a place where she can be five days a week, 8-9 hours / day so we could return to work full time. We also hoped that wherever she went there were professional, hard working staff, but more importantly caring and fun teachers to care for her, guide her, make her laugh, teach her new things, introduce her to solids when I was too freaked out to do so on my own, and much more. KinderCare's staff goes above and beyond what any day care does - from the time you meet them upon learning about the center to months or years down the road. The director's blow my mind every week with their communication with parents and children alike. This isn't just a "day care" or "learning center" - it's like a second home. Our girl is turning 10 months next week and we couldn't be happier with how connected she is to others and how joyful she is to see her teachers at drop off. I don't believe she could get better care anywhere else. So if you have your doubts on whether you'll find the best place for your little one or not, spoiler alert, you don't need to look any further than this. read more

As a teacher and a parent to a child at this Kindercare I am beyond amazed by the amount of dedication the staff has for creating an environment of love and learning. My son thrives in the toddler program here and LOVES coming to school. I chose to bring him to school instead of stay at home because of what I had experienced teaching here; I wouldn't put him anywhere else! read more

Tried this Kindercare for about 2 months after moving to this area. The first day the teachers were not even aware my son was even starting. This was during the winter season so I assume a lot of staff may be on vacation but even considering this a lot of time it appeared as though the ratio of students to teachers were over the limit. There was also a lot of turnover of teachers- one left and one changed to a different class. Hard for a teacher to get invested in your child's learning if they are substituting or stressed by the number of students. Got the feeling that most treated it like a job. Most of the time at pick up it was an organized mess with kids everywhere. The front of the school was also unkempt with leaves everywhere on the sidewalk. Very disappointed- same price as Phoenix down the street and much happier there. read more

As a single working mom with a school age daughter life gets hectic often. Jodi and Tara have been invaluable additions to mine and my daughter's life since we started. They are caring and always find a way to go above and beyond to make sure my daughter is engaged and well taken care of. They communicate promptly and the teachers have really pulled my daughter out of her shell. I honestly cannot ever say Thank you enough for all their work and efforts to be excellent at what they do. Kindercare is wobderful. Clean. Engaging, well laid out and full of activity. My sincerest recommendation us behind them and their staff. read more

5 stars isn't enough. We moved from Elk Grove to Folsom last summer, checked out a few other schools in the area and decided to go with Lexington Hills Kindercare after having our 1 year old at an in home day care for the past few months. Best decision we could have ever made. We love this place and most importantly, so does our child. The staff is absolutely unbelievable! Kind, caring, fun, educational, motivating, organized and so friendly. I would highly recommend them for a child of any age. These people know what they're doing. read more

We have had our three and five year old attending this Kindercare for almost two years now. The kids love their teachers very much and have established their own personal relationships with each staff member. The staff always go over and beyond what we expect and we can't thank them enough. read more

Very nice and clean facility. In the lobby there is free coffee and sometimes snacks. All the staff are very nice and helpful. My daughter is in preschool here and she has learned so much! She loves it here! She learns about all kinds of interesting subjects as well as does a bunch of art projects! Her favorite part is learning a bunch of songs! I really like how closed off and fenced in the playground is. I feel very safe leaving my daughter there, especially because of the staff. I'm moving this fall and I will definitely be looking for another KinderCare because I have had a great experience with this one :) read more

We love KinderCare. We brought our 2 children (1 infant, 1 toddler) to KinderCare for our short stint in CA and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. They make our daughter (currently 22 months) feel welcome and engage her with fun, educational, age-appropriate activities, and even do fun activities with our son (5 months). It's obvious that the staff care for the kids and genuinely enjoy having them around. We are going to miss the teachers so much when we leave! If we were to stay in CA for longer, this would be my first choice to send the kids. read more

My son LOVES his teachers and his friends that he has made at KinderCare. He is always met with a greeting in the morning and a goodbye in the evening. I feel totally confident in the care that he is receiving while I'm at work, not to mention the HEALTHY foods that are given to him (not junk). Ms. Jody, the director, has been very proactive with all questions or concerns if I have had any. And Ms. Veronica, Ms. Ivana and Ms. Sheryl are some of the sweetest nurturing teachers my son has had....and he is NOT an "easy" kid! :) Bravo for to the Team that makes KinderCare a good place for our family! read more

My 3 year old attends this facility. All the teachers are real nice and my child loves attending her school. I would def recommend this place to parents. In the short time she has attended she has learned quite a bit. Her vocabulary has increased and all around social skills. read more

Jodi, Tara and staff have been raising and nurturing my kids for almost 10 years now. I cannot thank Lexington hills KC enough for the love and guidance they have provided to my children throughout these years! read more

KidneCare is great for working parents. Their convenient times of operation allow you to drop your children off as early as 6:00 am and pick up is as late as 6:30 pm. There is a set fee and you don't have to worry about rushing home because you'll be late on your pick up time and get charged extra. When it is summer and vacation, the kids are used to all the teachers and enjoy going to daycare to see their friends. They have a large range of activities for the kids during the summer, from going to movie theaters, bowling, rock climbing, off site luncheons, etc. This keeps the kids excited and looking forward to the next activity. All of our kids love the teachers there and they are always very caring and understanding. read more

There was several red flags about this KinderCare! I'm really surprised about the good reviews. This is a late post. Our baby was attending this daycare. Initially I felt confident in their abilities. However, our baby (who went to a previous daycare provider) didn't eat as well and wasn't sleeping. The teacher in the room thought he was sick. However he did not show symptoms of being sick and after seeing the doctor, everything was fine. I would visit time to time and noticed that there was a delay in how staff responded to a baby crying (10-15 mins). One teacher in particular was cleaning rather than attending to crying baby. Then one day I decided to make a surprise visit and noticed our baby was sitting away from the other children crying with snot dripping down our baby's face. Now, I've worked with children for a length of time and know that in order to have that much snot dripping on the face, our baby must have been crying for a length of time. The other last straw was when my husband picked up our baby and noticed our baby had a poopy diaper. He asked when was the last diaper change and the teacher did not know. Also, safety is a HUGE issue for us. It is beyond me how this KinderCare posted the access code on the front door to notify parents that the code has been changed. This is ridiculous! Anyone, ANYONE could have walked in. Even if there is staff in the front office, who knows what kind of person could have walked through and potentially cause harm. Also, when we brought up our concerns to the director about our baby not sleeping and eating, the director had the audacity to say that it was our child's fault. Maybe our baby difficult time because our child was not being cared for because as soon as we transferred to another daycare our baby had NO issues with sleep or eating. So stating that it was our child who had difficulty transitioning is an invalid point. I highly recommended bringing your child somewhere else! The staff is friendly, and the director and manager were accommodating. However, friendly and accommodating just doesn't cut it. read more

My son has been at the Lexington Hills KinderCare for almost a year now as part of their afterschool program, and now full-time during the summer months. He absolutly loves going there and has made some wonderful friends. We've been thrilled with his teachers - Ms. Rachel and Ms. Danielle and now Ms. Sandy have all been wonderful - from helping with homework, providing engaging games and activities, or spending a little extra time on reading, they have been great! My son was picked up each day from school in the KinderCare bus, and I loved watching his light up when Ms. April would walk onto the playground to pick him up. I don't let very many people drive my child, so allowing him to take the bus from school was a BIG deal for me, but they have always kept the kids safety and their number 1 priority, and honestly, he loves riding the bus and would be disappointed when I'd pick him up and he'd miss out on his bus time. He truly adores his KinderCare family, as do we, and we appreciate knowing that he's in a safe and nurturing environment. read more

I could not be more pleased with the care that my 7-month old daughter has received over the past four months. She is greeted every morning with smiles from her teachers and friends and is happy to stay the day. When I pick her up, I know she has been fed and changed and put down for naps as I instructed. Her teachers seem to genuinely care about her and her development. It is such a relief to have such a competent place to leave her with during the day. I don't know what I would do without them. read more

Lexington Hills KinderCare is a wonderful place. My child enjoys the activities and engagement with other children. Every teacher at the center, whether they have cared for my child or not, knows her by name. I feel very lucky to have found such a safe, reliable and caring group of people to help my child became a well-rounded and happy person. read more

We have been sending our 4 year olds to KinderCare for almost a year and we love it. Everyone is wonderful and we truly feel that their priorities are the children and it amazes me how much my kids have learned in the short time with this facility. The teachers are amazing and really know how to create a safe and fun environment for even the shyest little ones like ours. read more

We have been taking our daughter here for about 2 months and it is fantastic. They take excellent care of her and give us great piece of mind that she is safe. They also offer a great groupon discount that saved us over $100. Best place in town! read more

I looked for a quality child care center for months and purchased a groupon to try out the Lexington Hills Kindercare. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was not only close to home, but offered flexible attendance times. The caring staff members immediately made our child comfortable and excited to attend the classes. I love hearing about all the new discoveries our child has learned. The teachers are warm, well qualified and knowledgeable and it is such a relief to know that we are leaving our child in good hands. read more

I am happy with Lexington Hills KinderCare for so many reasons. They have an awesome outside play area, clean facility and organized curriculum, my children get help with their homework, and the staff have valued and accommodated the needs of my family. Also, my children love their teachers Miss Sandy and Miss Lexi! read more

Wow.... where do I begin? Being a single mother, I've unfortunately had the displeasure of shipping my kids off to numerous daycares with some TERRIBLE experiences. Jodi and Tara and all of the teachers at Lexington Hills KinderCare are so amazing, that I become emotional and teary eyed just thinking about it. They truly care about the children in their care. They are compassionate, patient, AMAZING human beings and I feel so blessed to have had them care for my two daughters. It feels so good to know that your child is in the hands of amazing people; happy and safe. It's truly priceless and as a mother, nothing feels better than to know your children are happy and taken care of. Trust me, nothing feels worse than questioning the care one's children are in. I've never had to worry about that here. My girls come home every single day happy and excited and raving about new things that they have learned. Ms Rachel and Ms Cheryl are also amazing. My daughters love them so much. We've unfortunately had to move to a new KinderCare due to relocating, and I can only hope it's even partly as wonderful as the Lexington Hills daycare has been. LOVE this place! Truly cannot say enough about it. read more

We looked around other day care facilities and the one thing that stands out is their flexibility. We drop off our son who is in kindergarden at 6:00 am as we leave for work. They provide transportation to and from school. They have set hours during the day and if your child is there, they can be there all day, you're not having to try and rush in traffic and worry about being 10 minutes past your scheduled pick up time and being charged extra. They have many dedicated teachers (some are even full time teachers and then they come after school and work here) that work with the kids and even have homework club after school. They also do special projects, art, games, etc. They don't just turn them lose to play or let them watch tv like at some places. As a state worked they also give a 10% discount. Overall my son really likes going here and has made many additoinal friends. Usually when we go to pick him up he is sad that he has to leave. Definetly recommend this daycare. read more
