WE LOVE KINDERCARE! I'd give them 10 stars if I could. We were looking for a childcare educational…read morecenter for our 5YO, and we are so thankful we found Kindercare! She turned 5 just a few days after the kindergarten cut off, and we couldn't do the half-day Pre-K in MPS, so we wanted to find a great place for the alternative. It was so easy getting a time to have a walk through, and the staff was super helpful before we even enrolled. We toured one other place, but got a much better vibe from the people at Kindercare. It was no problem to get enrolled and start her on the date we needed to. She LOVES going to "school" and learns all sorts of things every day! The teachers and staff as so so so awesome. Taylor and Tia are extremely helpful and welcoming every day. Her teacher, Morgan, is so kind and works very hard for and with the kids. She is TOP NOTCH! Betty always makes sure the kids have nice, nutritious meals. The whole staff is just amazing. I love that there is an app that allows Morgan to send photos and updates throughout the day so we know what our little girl is up to that day. They also have a strict policy on who enters the building and can pick up/check out the kids, which is extremely helpful in our particular situation. It is evident that they really care about our child and make sure she is doing ok in all the ways. She LOVES Kindercare and so do we!!!!!!!

We went through 4 other ones in okc and she would cry at pickup and drop off. She loves the family she stays with and they teach her Spanish. Please bring your babies here. ​She has been open to working with me, you will not find a better place.

There is a rat problem with rat poop all in the 1 year old room. The owners allow sick children & employees to still come when they are contagious. They make up lies and spread rumors when an employee leaves. They do not care about the children's safety and health. They fed my children a piece of bread and a slice of cheese multiple times for lunch. The owner Kaylene, is in trouble for money laundering through DHS. Do your research before considering this place. If I could give 0 stars I would. More than half of the reviews on here are from family and friends and employees, some don't even have kids that go to the daycare.

We love Kids Academy and our kid's love their teachers. Everyone is so kind and I feel confident knowing my kiddos are well taken care of. The Director Debbie is great and is always willing to work with you and answer questions. It's also incredibly affordable compared to other daycare programs. We plan on using Kids Academy until our youngest grows out of it and moves on to Elementary school.

My favorite thing is that I don't have to invite a stranger into my home to be alone with them for…read morehours. The accountability from more people being present and the webcams make this more attractive than babysitters and the cost is comparable, so why not?! I heard about Spontaneity from a neighbor and I was immediately intrigued. We moved to Edmond a few months ago and I love it, but I miss my network of kid watchers and my mother in law! So, a drop in kids center sounded amazing. There are three steps to get in: 1. Take a tour. 2. Schedule an interview/meeting (review their policies with them). (2a. Sign up for webcam service--not required, but a benefit) 3. Drop your kid off. We visited for the tour and we were pleasantly surprised that our child was invited to play while we talked. We came at a busy time (Saturday evening) so we really got to see the place in action. The front door is locked and the gal at the desk has to let folks in (we gave a code we'd like for the door, so not sure how that works as everyone got buzzed in). The lobby area has a place to leave shoes and coats and there are special socks they like the kids to wear to avoid losing socks and for hygiene. We came back a week later to interview and our kiddo got to play then. This is great for those kids that haven't done school or been away from parents much to see how they do in a care setting. A few days later we dropped our kids off (five months and almost 4 years). I loved being able to watch them if I got that "I wonder how they're doing" feeling and being able to SEE everything. Also, they round time to the minute, so if you think you'll be 3 hours, but actually are 2.5, you'll get charged for two full hours plus a half--not three.

Thank you Yelp! From Cassandra's review mentioning webcams, to Steffanie's review detailing the…read moretotal cost, I felt like I had enough information to get our little girl registered a few months ago when the woman who had been watching her on Mondays and Fridays went back to work. I knew this wouldn't cover everything, but I knew it would help to have an option. I now have someone helping us at home those two days, but she needed today off, and I desperately still needed to work. Our Mothers Day Out is also over at 2:30, so I can imagine some days when I will need to get her from there and bring her by here so I can get more of a full work day in when JJ's grandmothers are not available. The registration process is reassuringly lengthy - they are not even playing with this! They ask for a lot of important info and require current immunization charts (huzzzah!). It took them a few days to approve our application, but once you're pre-approved, you can bring your kiddo anytime. They charge a once a year fee of $70 per family and then $10 an hour for one kid. The price goes down to $15 per hour for two kids, and so on. Not too shabby, and the registration fee will quickly pay for itself if we use this much at all. She had an awesome day. She was happy to see me, but didn't really want to leave, and I think that is perfect. She lingered for a long time on the front patio smelling the flowers and then tried to get back in. We haven't activated the webcams but we will, not so much to check up on them but just to see how much fun she must be having. They supply snacks and lunch for a $4 charge per snack/lunch. Honestly, on a day like today, it was so worth it to not have to worry about what I would pack for her lunch. There is a 6-hour, DHS-mandated maximum, and you are heavily penalized for going over, so this really is a "Drop In" and not an all day thing. Today I needed to pick up our daughter by 3:50 to beat the 6 hour mark, and I got there at 3:30. But, she played so hard, she fell asleep about 5 minutes into the car ride and didn't even wake up when I got her out of her seat, so I'm back at my desk and back at work with a napping baby! Five stars plus plus!
