I have not had any of those issues at EFC, they have always been more than adequately staffed. My son now gets excited to go to school (as we call it). He loves his teachers and he loves everything they do. He comes home babbling about everything they did. We were having trouble with "baby talk" while at the other place, and it completely has ended now, at this new place. They feed them breakfast, snack, lunch and snack. And lots of fruits and veggies are offered. They even have a taste test Thursday, where the kids have to taste a different food each week. The long term teachers are awesome and engaging. Our only regret is that we did not switch before we did.

We had our infant in Kinderberry from March 2021 to July 2021, unfortunately we moved out of town…read moreso we had to switch daycares otherwise we would have never left. This place is the best, the staff are all very friendly and caring and the teachers care a lot about the kids and make sure they have a great time every day. They have an app you download and they fill it with pictures of the kids doing activities and eating/sleeping updates. They have the kids do art and send it home for the parents sometimes. They do outdoor time when weather permits, swim day, etc. Kinderberry has an advantage over other daycares because they have their own formula, food, diapers, wipes, etc so you don't need to drop that off each day for them, it's included in your tuition. It is pretty spendy, but you definitely get what you pay for so it's worth it. Highly recommend!

We have two children, ages 3 and almost 5, at Kinderberry Hill - Plymouth. The center is bright,…read moreclean, full of natural light, and newly remodeled. There are tons of amazing toys and materials to foster children's curiosity and development. Kinderberry's biggest strength, though, lies in its staff and teachers. Jodi, the center director, works well parents and teachers to make sure every child receives "whole child care." We're always greeted with smiles when we walk in the door. Our children have been nurtured with smiles, praise, and, when necessary, kind but firm corrective guidance. The teachers are patient, kind, positive people who truly love children. Kinderberry also has a wonderful nurse on site who has helped to keep our kids feeling well and taught them about some basic anatomy and health topics. Each day at Kinderberry is filled with fun for our children. They do group activities to learn to work together with their classmates and they have individual play time. Their rooms are filled with wonderful materials - toys, a sensory table that the teachers regularly change, imaginative play centers, a computer, reading nooks, etc. The teachers have led both of our children through age appropriate lessons on letters (recognizing and writing them, word families, etc.), reading and writing, numbers and basic math concepts (measurement, correspondence, etc.). Lessons for a week revolve around a theme, which keeps the kids engaged and excited to learn. Our kids usually come home with art projects they have made with their class or on their own at one of the centers. Kinderberry also offers some wonderful extras we haven't found elsewhere - weekly Fit for Kids (physical fitness program), Spanish, and Music plus a wonderful science curriculum once a month. In the summers they run outdoor classrooms ~once / week. The pre-K room goes on field trips about once per month to extend their learning outside of the center. My mom, a former elementary school principal, has been very impressed by this curriculum. Perhaps more importantly, our children have really grown socially at Kinderberry. The teachers have encouraged them both to make new friends and helped to set up situations to foster their relationships with their peers. We're hearing more and more about their friends at home and having more and more playdates which is really exciting as a parent. We highly recommend Kinderberry Hill - Plymouth to all families.

I love that it is parent-directed care (I choose her schedule and routines to match home), I love that the naps are in quiet, dark rooms (and thus my daughter is a fantastic sleeper!), and I love that my daughter squeals with delight every time we walk through the doors to drop off. The teachers genuinely seem to like her too, and this means the world to me.

As a first time mom, I was anxious about bringing him to daycare but, right from the start, the teachers and center leadership showed amazing attention and care. The teachers are dedicated, the leadership team is strong, and the center itself is beautiful and engaging for my young child. Everyone knows my child's name and is so welcoming. I know that he loves to go to Casa and I feel relieved he's enjoying his time there. I truly cannot say enough good things about the Centennial Lakes Casa team! We are switching to a new location for convenience am I am hopeful he will have the same, amazing experience there. Gracias, Casa!
