I feel I needed to leave a review for this place because I still feel Angry about the experience we…read morehad. We were referred to this place from a friend who also had kids there, and assumed Our first time with a daycare will go smoothly. I DO NOT recommend taking Your child here. The first day (and only day) we dropped off our 13 month old there, we were told that he did not sleep, and had a fever...AFTER his mother had picked him up. We noticed that he had a bruise on his head as well, and only after pressing them for more information they told us that he was banging his head on the crib. Few things to point out- In their own policies, if the child gets hurt in anyway they will contact the parents. My gf was told when she picked him up. The pictures they send throughout the day shows that he got the bruise HOURS before she showed up. Next is the fact that he developed a fever and they STILL did not notify us until he was picked up. And finally, after probing them for the policy violations they committed they admitted that it was a mistake on their part and they should have notified us IMMEDIATELY. I cannot convey my anger enough in this review because after we took him home so he could finally sleep and tend to his fever, he had a fibril seizure and was transported to the hospital. He was at Kindercare for 6 hours...and everything I was worried about having random people taking care of my child was validated. So to sum it all up, on the FIRST DAY our child: -could not be put to sleep -was neglected long enough for him to bang his head against a crib to develop a bruise on his head -developed a fever which the parents were not told until he was picked up. Like I said they admitted they did not follow their own policy so we received a full refund for the week, because we were NEVER coming back. On a side note he is doing better at a different daycare, obviously better taken care of than at this place. So if you're looking for a place for your infant, like another reviewer said on here DO NOT CHOOSE THIS PLACE.

The genuine care they showed to our kids (and our whole family, honestly) for the past four years has been extraordinary. My kids were happy to walk through those doors every single day. We were always greeted by smiling staff members. The kids learned so much from the curriculum they used. The teachers made everything so fun! (Ms. Pam, our kids were talking about your St Patrick's shenanigans JUST today- you created memories they'll never forget). We took advantage of the phonics enrichment they offered (Ms. Alison, we love you!) All kids also received some Spanish curriculum, too! We received pictures, notes, and updates daily through their app. The directors, Ms. Rachna and Ms. Alyssa, are simply wonderful. They work so hard to make the center a true community, and we enjoyed all the daycare parties they hosted outside of normal hours to allow families to connect and socialize. Our kids were safe, well-fed (thank you, Ms. Jackie!), loved, and engaged every day. Leaving this place for elementary school was genuinely so difficult because of the relationships we built here. If you're looking for a "home" for your littles, do not overlook this exceptional place.

The staff are amazing and the director Wendy and assistant Keyanna are absolutely amazing!!! This center has great communication and make sure that their first priority is putting your child first and making sure you are comfortable and have all the information you need. The moment I sat down with Wendy and told her what I was looking for as far as childcare services for my daughter, I knew this was the right location and she gave me all the answers I needed and more. Trust me, you can't go wrong with North KinderCare learning center. The staff are highly trained and really do have the best interest for the kids and their families.

Had referred many to go there, and will continue so.

Miss Pong, the director, has been great. When my first son was there, and I was a nervous mom, she was very kind and reassuring. Miss Melissa took the time to help him out of his shell and encouraged him to have fun with his friends. I knew I was leaving my kids in the best hands. I was very impressed with the education they received. My second son told me all about palindromes! When I asked Miss Anne if I was hearing him correctly, she told me that it was something she told the class, in a very basic way. But he retained that knowledge and now he likes to tell me when it's 11:11 and "that's a palindrome mom!" The facilities are very good, I liked the layout very much. The playground is just the right size for little kids, the fence around it is very reassuring with little kids running all over! I also really appreciated the security of getting into the building. I wish our grammar school had that system. I have a third son, who is too young for the program. I have no doubts where he will be going when it's his turn.

My daughter is in the preschool room currently with Miss Shilbee and she is always so excited to tell me about her days when I pick her up. we can really see how much education is built into the activities the kids do, and it's always made to be fun. I've been so happy to see my daughter develop her writing and cuttings skills, as well as develop a lot of confidence in school with the guidance of Miss Shilbee. She provides excellent communication with us as parents too, and I know my daughter just loves being in her room. We also have a son there in the toddler room. When he was first enrolled at just 3 months old I always felt so comfortable leaving him in the care of Miss Linda and Miss Melanie, and really like the way they divide up the very young infants and more moving/walking infants into two separate rooms. It is always nerve wracking to go back to work after the postpartum period, but seeing my son snuggled up in Karen or his teachers arms comfortable and happy made it a much easier transition during that time. he is now in the toddler room and has been doing so well, today he didn't even want to leave when I came to pick him up. my son loves the entire staff there and always has to stop by the director Miss Karen's office to wave "hi" and "bye" when we come and go. overall, I can honestly say we highly recommend this daycare to anyone

Michelle the director is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. She goes out of her way to explain the preschool program and the process which is is so important to families sending their child to school for the first time. The curriculum was fantastic as well. Not only did my child learn about God's love but he came home saying some words in Spanish, singing new songs, making cute art projects and even writing his name! I'm so happy I found this school, we have since joined the church as well because of the wonderful experience and amazing people we have met.

A couple of weeks prior to my child being neglected and not being changed Timely, I had informed…read morethis Daycare owner that my child had been diagnosed to be on the autism spectrum! This is why my child is 4 years old and not completely potty-trained! The KinderCare just up the street understands this issue... And never blamed my child for any neglect because they didn't neglect him. Great Beginnings did. I have never brought my child there with a rash! He had a wound on his leg because this daycare did not change him for however long! So the audacity of the owner trying to shift the blame on my child not being potty trained is absolutely ridiculous... Considering he's been in several other daycares where this has not been an issue, I know where the blame lies. So we can go back and forth on this issue until we make it to court! Because I still have the pictures the day it happened. And that's the exact day I told these people my son would no longer attend this daycare! I just so happen to take him home and find the wound after. He had been giving me signals of abuse previously that I didn't understand until I found this wound. My child can't speak for himself , so I have to be the one to do so. This daycare knows that my son was unable to speak for himself... Which gave them license to neglect him! KinderCare down the street and NEVER neglected him. Or tried to blame him for his delays in speech and development! How dare you! You should be ashamed of yourself. I'm not the first parent to figure you out. The fact that you thought you could blame an innocent child shows how disgusting you are. And that you shouldn't be caring for any children. Let's ask KinderCare to provide their assessment of my child! Or the primary school he currently attends! You would look absolutely foolish! You stating that I brought my son in with a rash is an absolute LIE! If this had ever been an issue previously, why would I have said anything? He's never had a rash... And you have never reported a rash! I asked why an incident report wasn't drawn up. And the response was,' oh we hope Jax is okay why don't you come in and discuss the situation'... the reply to my initial review was an absolute lie!(ref attached )If that were the case you would have responded to my first inquiry with your phony fact! The fact that you say you can't attend to a child with special needs every half hour- just shows you were/are not equipped for the special needs that you were advised of! Which the next day there was an Autism pamphlet near the check-in! Was that some type of help? I was told that there was a speech therapy program?? Okay then why did I have to have my son assessed Elsewhere for you to understand he had speech issues for his age? There was also a teacher that previously worked there who was the only one to mention this... A week later she was gone. So this place doesn't like to employee people with actual credentials that want to help children. I think this is a place where people pass through when they realize their skills are better utilized to actually help children..., rather than neglect them for time management purposes. It's a good thing I took my child out of there! I would never step foot in this place again! So much so that I have to send my own posted envelope to get a tax document that could easily be uploaded, or sent in the mail. But because the owner is so difficult, and wants to control people is my opinion. Better me send the postage, then go up there and say what I have to say to their faces. Also I would have to record the whole incident because these people can't be trusted. Like I said before if you love your children, don't send them here. I won't go up there because I do love my child... Enough to have taken him out of that place, as well as not put myself in a situation to get in an altercation and end up in jail! I am livid that this person would actually try to say 4 months later that I brought my son in with a rash! Care to take dueling lie detector test? I'm ready! Kindercare can even attest to the fact prior to my son attending Great Beginnings, he never had rash issues despite the potty training! That's a fact. I have facts and this place has deflection. I guess they thought since my mom picked up my son the majority of the time, I would overlook this incident. But I will continue to defend my son against Any Lies! The nerve of a child caregiver, blaming an innocent child for their neglect. Had someone never appointed this ridiculous place out to me, I would have put my son back in KinderCare as I planned initially... good thing also I put him back in KinderCare in November after the incident... And they only reiterated what a true daycare it's supposed to be like... How it is supposed to function for the good of the children, and how special needs are addressed with attention, and CARE. Not neglect. Or excuses!
