We had a nanny and a home day care until our daughter was about 22 months. I had almost been…read moreworried about how little she had been trying to talk when she entered Kindercare. Now, she speaks in full sentences (4 months later), uses scissors like a champ, holds markers (etc) "almost" properly, and sings us songs with actions all the time. Her main teacher is master's prepared and truly pushes these kids to the best of their abilities. She loves every teacher there and always comes home talking about her friends! The other main reason I love this daycare is that they're reliable. They're open as early and as late as we've needed them for our work schedules, and are extremely flexible when I need to add on days. At the in home daycare we had to deal with the daycare lady's kids being sick, or poor hours, or them leaving on vacation frequently. It was not reliable enough and I found myself having to call in sick at my job when my daughter nor I were sick. The directors are wonderful and respond to calls and emails quickly as well. Seriously, no complaints from this mama!

Very. Frustrating. My wife and I enrolled our 2-1/2 year-old-son in early November 2011. We…read morepulled him out and enrolled him in another daycare by the end of the month. Here's why... I would drop off my child in the morning with no issues. Picking up, however, is where we had problems. Nearly every day there was an issue with misplaced belongings or some unexplained physical ailment. At the end of the day, my son's hoodie or coat ended up in another child's cubby. Parents shouldn't have to search other students' cubbies to locate their child's items despite labeling each of his items. After the first snowfall, I brought in his snowpants and boots. 3 days later, again at pick-up time, I was looking for his boots to ensure that they were still there. His boots were not in his cubby so I asked one of the teachers for help. The teacher responded that every student's items are put back in their corresponding cubbies. I responded that this was untrue because the boots clearly were not where they were supposed to be. The teacher said that they would locate the boots the next day. To my frustration, they could not locate my son's missing boots so I had to purchase new boots. There were several days where our son came home with a diaper rash due to not cleaning him well enough after bowel movements. There were also days where he developed a rash on his face which the teachers couldn't explain. The final straw was arriving to pick up my son to find that a bright, red ring had developed around his entire mouth. Again I asked the teachers what had happened and again they could not offer an explanation. When a parent leaves their child in an established daycare center, one would expect that the child is receiving proper attention and care. Clearly, this was not happening. I can't speak for all KinderCare locations but our experience at the Hanson Blvd, Coon Rapids location certainly was not pleasant. My wife and I now refer to this location as KinderDontCare.

The staff is kind and upbeat--their well-designed facility and program make teaching easier! I think it's so cool how kids get to rotate through different rooms and stations throughout the day.

Compass Child Care is an asset to the community and to parents. Thank you, Compass!

They also had a nice Christmas program where the kids could get their picture taken with Santa! We love Compass!

So, here's me paying it forward for other busy parents who want to search for daycare: Cost: We consistently paid around $1350-1525 depending on which room our child was in. He started in infant and moved up to toddler. Pros: - Wonderful teachers. Most have degrees, and all of them clearly love children. They seem happy as employees, which is great. - Director on site is the owner. You can tell she really cares about her staff, the kids, and the families. She's extremely accommodating - we changed our schedules multiple times and she was able to help us each time. - Easily the cleanest, most updated site that we visited. - Our son loved it there! - They are great at transitioning children out of the infant room to toddler room to make the kids feel really comfortable. - Great communication with parents: they send multiple photos a day through e-mail, and keep great records of what went on each day with your child. They let you know when he hits milestones and is progressing with new skills. - Great outdoor area - Fun events (bouncy house, fire trucks coming on site, etc) - The hours are great, and extend until 6pm. - Automatic tuition withdraw is a nice option Cons: - Cost. We toured a few places, and it was the most expensive in the area, and included the least amount of "extras." - you have to bring your own bibs, sippy cups, and breakfast. For the price of tuition, I was always frustrated that I had so much work to do to get him ready for daycare in the morning. - constant messy clothes. I wish they'd invest in better art bibs/smocks, and I wish they'd provide bibs for meal time. If i forgot to send one, I knew for sure he would come home in a new outfit. - Food costs extra (about $60/month for two snacks and lunch each day) and doesn't include breakfast. - Some of the food was unimpressive at times (bread and butter for snack?), not organic, lots of breaded chicken dishes, etc Overall: the price was worth it for us, especially when he was an infant. We were really confident in the care he got, and he learned so much. We loved all of the art projects he brought home, and the communication they had with families.
