I scheduled a tour on Monday for Thursday and received a confirmation. When we arrived at KinderCare, a woman in the front office let us in. She was talking on the phone, so I presume the door overwhelmed her because she displayed absolutely nothing but chaos. She asked me the age of my child, I told her. She gave me a note pad to fill out contact information. She told me that the school sends a bus there, they don't transport to that particular school... which is fine. After that she excused herself and went to the restroom. When she returned she told me they only have 46 slots with 52 kids already... I guess they don't go by ratio. I looked at her and smiled, that's what I do when I'm annoyed but want to be kind. I asked why I didn't receive a call because I took off work for the tour. Again in an overwhelmed state she says "I am the only one here today, the online scheduler just sends things in, I've been very busy today." As though her busy was superior to my time and responsibilities. After all, that's the job. I calmly told her, still smiling, I also work and am very busy, in addition to having a disabled child getting ready for brain surgery and touring schools... but I still can manage to RSVP regret. She ask, "if you'd like I can give you a tour and when"... I told her no, no thanks. As I was walking out I summed it up to a blessing for seeing what it would have been like there. The first impression did not display positive control. They must be one of the more affordable daycares around because I was not interested after that. read more

Stafford KinderCare - The confirmation from KinderCare. - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Stafford, Virginia

We absolutely love KinderCare in Stafford. My son started going here since October 2024 when he was 11 months. It was the first time we had ever left him really with anyone other than family and they made us feel so good and comfortable. He has come LEAPS and BOUNDS since he started here. The staff in the Infant B room (Ms. Zariah, Ms. Tina, and Ms. Lindsey) are great and we/he absolutely love them. They are very good with communicating how his day was and it's great to get the updates and pictures throughout the day through the app. Ms. Kellee the director is great and always very easy to get ahold of or speak to. read more

Best daycare in Stafford. My kids love coming here and they are always in great moods when I come to pick up.

I recommend 10 out of 10 if you are looking for a trusting and fun learning daycare for your kid(s) read more

I switched my daughters from another daycare in Stafford to KinderCare. The director and I worked together years ago at another KinderCare as teachers. Our work relationship turned into a friendship and I am so glad that it did. Switching my daughters to KinderCare was the best decision that I made. One reason is because I had a great experience being an employee there but on top of that I have a person that I trust that has not let me down at all. I recommend KinderCare located on Garrisonville Road to anyone that is looking for a place that feels like home. I am always greeted with smiles and they show me that what they do is more than a job. If you are looking for a good, loving daycare, enroll your child here! read more

My daughter has been attending for almost a year. Her teachers are PHENOMENAL. the directors care about the kids & take time out of their day to greet each one. I have always felt welcome when I come in & informed on what has been going on at the center. My daughter loves going to "school", she tells me every day what she has learned. She always has excelled so much in her colors, numbers, and alphabet. Her social skills are out of this world as well. I highly recommend KinderCare in Stafford to someone wanting quality care & attention to their children read more

My son has been attending this daycare for a year now and we absolutely love it! He isn't the best with new situations or change, but his teachers always go above and beyond to help make him feel comfortable and loved. They are great at communicating with me on how my son is doing and I always look forward to the pictures I get throughout the day. I know my son is in loving hands when he is at "school" and he looks forward to seeing his teachers every day! read more

I love this daycare! They treat my daughter so well & she LOVES IT! I have never had any issues with them. Everyone is so nice & I absolutely love her teachers because they communicate so well throughout the day with pictures and little notes on the KinderCare app. read more

This KinderCare Location is all about money! Some of the staff are nice and respectful and the rest of them has no clue as to how to talk to the children much less their parents. I've had two confrontations with two different teachers over the past two years. I don't think the Curriculum is all that like they are so quick to advertise. I think they are way behind the curve when it comes to teaching the children especially in the two's and 3's/Preschool. I feel the ALL children should be receiving quality education every where they go! Don't even ask about the Preschool Program, it's a joke! The teachers don't teach the kids anything! There are also times, when I've stopped by to pick up my child and you can hear the way some of the teachers are talking to the kids (that's unacceptable!!). The Director Pat Ramos always smiles in your face but talks behind your back and they have no respect for the parent's situation at all! I'm so glad that I teach my child at home because I will never depend on this place to teach my child anything! They are more concerned about how cute your child dresses, and how many different shoes they wear to school and how many outfits they wear to daycare, etc. It's annoying because it shows what they are only concerned about and it's sickens me! The Center is also constantly increasing their pricing (which will increase again as of 9/17/2015) and then they notifies the parents at the last moment which is totally unacceptable! I will be definitely removing my child from this location before the New Year 2016 because they are cheating the kids and parents and not providing quality education! It's unfair! I'm so over this place and it's time for a change. So please take my advice, although the prices are not too bad, and the hours are from 5:30am - 7:00pm which is GREAT! because not many centers are open this early for working parents as myself, it's still like the saying goes, "you get what you pay for!" Thank you for reading my post! read more

My 2-year-old attended this daycare for about 4 months and I ultimately decided to pull her out of this center for a multitude of reasons. I'd like to note that I dropped off and picked up my daughter at different times to see if there was any improvement in her experience or what I witnessed in the classroom to give the teachers and the center the benefit of the doubt. My biggest concern was the conduct I saw from the teachers in the classroom. I consistently witnessed teachers grabbing children by the arms or lifting them up rather than using verbal instruction. When verbal instruction was used, the teachers seemed irritated and impatient. I wouldn't go so far as to say the teachers were aggressive with the children but at this age it's very important for children to learn to listen rather than be handled physically. The underlying issue here was the sense that the teachers grew frustrated with students and lacked patience. This leads in to my second issue: classroom size. At times there seemed to be 20-25 children in one fairly small room. Although the center always had the appropriate ratio (10 children to 1 teacher), the room was simply too small and crammed to keep order and organization in the classroom. It oftentimes felt like I was dropping my daughter off at a zoo or a playpen because of the horrible fecal odor, screaming children, and general lack of structure in the classroom. In the 4 months my daughter attended this daycare, I saw them facilitate one activity with the children. Almost every other time, the children were left to run around the classroom freely while the teachers gathered into a corner of the room or were busy changing diapers. I don't expect a 2-year-old classroom to be quiet and spotless by any means, but this classroom was an absolute zoo. I witnessed multiple physical altercations between children without any intervention from the teachers. It was pretty awful to see. Additionally, my daughter was not learning anything while attending. I even asked one of the teachers for a break-down of their schedule for when they had activities, lessons, etc. and it was clear that the entire day is unorganized and chaotic. Thirdly, there is extremely inefficient communication with the director and the staff in general. I only saw staff in the office during pick-up/drop-off about half the time so I tried to rely on email communication. Clearly no one was checking the email as I never received responses. After a few days, I would have to hunt a staff member down to find out that my email had not been seen. I am a busy mother and it is rather frustrating to have to hunt someone down just to tell them simple information they had already received and didn't bother to even read. Lastly, once I had decided to un-enroll my daughter from the center, the director asked me when I picked my daughter up one day why we were deciding to leave. She brought this up in the busy hallway filled with children, parents, staff, and my daughter's teachers. Obviously, I am not going to bring up all the concerns I have in such a public space. It didn't seem like she genuinely cared why I was pulling my daughter out of their center. I feel like if she did, she could have asked over email or asked me privately so I could be candid and honest. Unfortunately, I never got the opportunity to bring up all the issues I experienced so I have to do it through online reviews. Overall, I really feel like I gave this center the benefit of the doubt and the time needed for my daughter to adjust. Despite this, my daughter never enjoyed this daycare and developed serious behavioral issues at home after attending this center. Here I am a few months later, after pulling her out of Kindercare, and she is back to her normal behavior. She communicates clearly, is no longer hitting, and seems a lot more joyful. It isn't a good feeling as a parent to have to drop your child off at a place they clearly don't want to go. Our daughter was so excited to go see her friends at her previous daycare and never had issues when we would drop her off. Even after 4 months of attending Kindercare, she struggled with drop-off and never wanted to talk about her day at school. As a parent, I cannot recommend this daycare. read more

The infant teachers at this location are wonderful. With not being able to enter the building due to Covid the teachers make sure I get lots of pictures and updates on the app whether they be pictures or videos. We were out a couple months during the beginning of Covid and my daughters first days back were tough on her but now she goes to the awesome ladies in front with no problem now at drop off laughing and smiling arms wide open as well as her teachers. I'm so glad to be apart of this Kinder Care Family! read more

My two children have been at Kindercare Learning Center in Stafford since they were 3 months old. If you are looking for a safe, educational, fun, loving daycare, THIS IS IT. The staff have been outstanding throughout our time there. I would call the center from work constantly to check on my infants, then toddlers. They were always so friendly, so forth coming, so understanding and so great with my kids. My kids have fallen in love with so many teachers year after year. My kids were always busy with so many different activities, learning exercises, arts and crafts, stem, phonics, cooking, playground time, storytime, cirle time. The education and experience that both my children gained from being at the Stafford Kindcare was exceptional and unbeatable. I wish they could stay longer, but they are both starting school now and we are all sad to leave. The hard work, love and attention that these women gave my children throughout their time there was tremendous. We could not have picked a better childcare place if we tried. My husband and I were extremely satisfied with the center and we HIGHLY recommend trusting this Kindercare Learning center with your babies. These women love childern and it shows with every hug and smile. My kids have gained so much and we couldnt appreciate them more. We are very sad to say goodbye. 10 stars if I could!! read more

My 10 year old has been attending Kindercare for 8 years and I have a daughter who is 2 and she has been there since 6 weeks old. I highly recommend this childcare. All staff are very welcoming and they genuinely care for my children. My children have learned so much from the curriculum that is taught. I can trust all these ladies with my children and I feel comfortable. From the Center Director to the Assistant Director and the cook they are all very respectful and very caring when entering the building. I get greeted from everyone. It's like a big happy Family. Couldn't ask for a better place for my children to be safe while I work. read more

My daughter has been here since she was 5 months old. She loves it here!!! She learns so much and the staff are so wonderful to her as well. Great place to trust with your child while at work. read more
