Updated Review for Estrella KinderCare…read more My son has been at Estrella KinderCare since he was 3 months old. For a long time, I truly felt confident in this center. While our early experience was positive, everything changed once he entered the toddler room. My son came home more than once with unexplained injuries. I picked him up once and discovered his mouth was bloody. I asked what happened, his teacher said, "I have no idea what happened." That answer was not only dismissive--it was alarming. He also had two separate incident reports for falling off classroom furniture--once from a table and another time from a chair. My question is this: if a teacher is truly supervising toddlers, how on earth is a child able to climb onto a table, stand long enough to fall, and get hurt--all without anyone noticing or stopping it? Toddlers are quick, yes, but that's exactly why supervision matters. Not long after, I personally witnessed a toddler teacher at Estrella KinderCare physically pushed a child down, causing him to fall and cry. The moment I saw that, I could not help but wonder if this was how my own son's injuries had occurred. It's one thing to get an "accident report." It's another to see with your own eyes how a teacher treats the children in their care. I immediately reported the incident to the director, Josie. She seemed concerned and assured me the teacher had been placed on leave pending an investigation. I wanted to believe her. But the very next day, when I arrived to pick up my son, that same teacher was in the toddler classroom--chatting and laughing with other staff. When I asked why she was there, I was told she was just picking up her own child. But here's the issue: if a teacher is supposedly on leave for pushing a toddler, why is she being allowed back into the classroom, interacting with the same kids? To me, that looked less like accountability and more like damage control. I have walked into the toddler room and seen teachers with their backs turned to the children while using their cell phones/the classroom iPads. As an educator myself, I cannot overstate how unacceptable that is. I am responsible for a classroom of children every day. I know what proper supervision looks like, and I know what negligence looks like. What I saw at KinderCare was negligence. At that point, my trust is gone. I unenrolled my son immediately. If you have a child in the toddler room at Estrella KinderCare, please be mindful of what's happening. Aggressive behavior toward children should never be tolerated, and yet here, it was brushed aside. What's worse is that the staff culture seems more interested in protecting each other than protecting the children. After pulling my son out, I decided to dig deeper. I looked up reports from the Arizona Department of Health Services regarding Estrella KinderCare. What I found shocked me--but it also, sadly, didn't surprise me. This center had already been cited for poor supervision of children by teachers and for excessive incident reports. These are the exact issues my son continued to experience almost a full year after those citations were issued. In other words, nothing had changed. The problems were documented, known, and ongoing. I'll be attaching screenshots of these reports in my review so other parents can see them as well. I gave Estrella KinderCare the benefit of the doubt too many times, and my son paid the price. Please, if you are considering sending your child here: don't. It's not worth the risk. There are caring teachers in this world, but the culture of this particular center feels broken and unsafe. For transparency, I'm leaving my original review below to show just how quickly things changed: My son has been going to Estrella KinderCare since he was 3 months old. He's now almost 2 years old and thriving! I can feel how loved he is by all the staff as soon as we step into the building. Any time I have a concern or issue, it is handled quickly. I can genuinely say that my child enjoys being dropped off every morning! Thank you to all the KinderCare teachers!

My child has been at Wirtzies since he was 6 months old and he's currently a little over 2 years…read moreold. This means I have now experienced childcare in 3 different rooms at this center and at different stages of my child's development. I chose Wirtzies because when we walked the center the assistant director at the time acknowledged children with their names as we walked through. She showed that the staff there would care about my child and treat them like a little human and not just a child. My gut felt that this would be a good place. They offer an inner generational program where the children have time with the elderly adults in their day program. This also was something that was of interest to me. My gut was right. They care about my child. My child has learned so much from them that he wouldn't learn at home. I get pictures and updates from them regularly. There have been incidents where he is hurt or hurts someone else. But you would be hard pressed to find a parent who watches their own child and never gets hurts. You can't watch your child 24 hours a day and neither can they with a state ratio of 5 to 1. They have addressed each incident appropriately. They care about my child and that is worth anything I need to pay them but they are affordable. I know they also offer state subsidized care if needed. My child is happy there. He loves his friends and his teachers. He even loves the ladies at the front desk.

She just knows what my daughter needs (as if she has known her longer than a few months!) Vanessa with her kind smile, is there to help my daughter feel secure that she can wear her backpack till she's ready to take it off. Seriously, the teamwork that has been developed in this class is what any parent would hope for. To all the other ladies as well, I just wanted to give a huge thank you for guiding my daughter in this class! I am forever grateful! I drive away every morning knowing my daughter is in excellent hands!

My child has gone here for over a year and a half since they were just over 3 months old. The care…read moreprovided for my child has been nothing short of amazing. I had no issues with military subsidy, they were quick to handle any paperwork, and the only delay was on the governmental side. At one point the subsidy was over 4 months delayed due to the government program being backlogged, when everything was finalized they credited my account with the full back pay. They went above and beyond when they noticed the subsidy program had used an incorrect rate and discounted my cost to make up for that difference. The value provided is second to none, they provide diapers, wipes and food for the infants and toddlers, we breast fed so I'm not sure about formula. The fact that we have gone almost a year and a half only needing to purchase diapers for our home use has been a huge financial bonus to us. Education wise my child has learned multiple signs, several words, dances to songs, and made so many friends. The staff are so friendly and attentive, and practically over communicators when it comes to things going on at the childcare facility or if our child bumps his head or gets a scrape or anything like that. They also use an app to send updates throughout the day, and pictures and videos of your child so you can see what they have been up to. The app also is used for diaper change tracking, naps and food. I cannot overstate how amazing this facility is, they do everything they can to help, they were providing food and necessities to families of the children there that were in need during the government shutdown this past fall, and they treat every child like family. The facility is clean, the food prep area has an A from the health inspector, and somehow they get my picky eater to try all kinds of stuff. If I could give them 10 stars I would, this is a fantastic childcare facility and the best part is the staff.

We feel it's long overdue that we share just how grateful we are for this wonderful school!…read more We have two boys here, one in the Toddler program and one in Preschool, and both have been happy and comfortable since their very first day. As parents, there is truly no better feeling than knowing your children feel safe, cared for, and excited to go to school every morning. From the moment you walk through the reception area, you are greeted with such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are always friendly, smiling, and genuinely engaging with the children. The school feels well-organized, with a visible and involved leadership team and staff who genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. That positive environment makes such a difference, and we truly believe the wonderful people here are a big part of why our boys are thriving. We especially want to recognize two amazing teachers who have made such a meaningful difference to our family. Ms. Kristina is absolutely wonderful! She welcomed our son with open arms and has played such an important role in helping him feel safe, comfortable, and like he truly belongs. She has an incredible ability to combine warmth and compassion with clear expectations and guidance. She is understanding, thoughtful, solution-oriented, and exceptionally skilled in both her actions and communication. We particularly appreciate her honesty and how openly and directly she communicates, always in a respectful and constructive way. That is something we value tremendously as parents. Her ability to manage so much while remaining attentive and present with the children is truly impressive. She knows when to comfort, when to encourage, and when to be firm, always with the children's best interests at heart. Seeing that our son naturally turns to her whenever he needs comfort or support means the world to us. We couldn't be happier to have her as his teacher! Ms. Jazmene is another truly exceptional teacher! She has such a calm, kind, and nurturing presence, and it is clear how deeply she cares about the children. She seems to have an incredible capacity to manage everything happening around her while remaining patient, composed, and genuinely present. One small moment really stayed with us. While picking up our son one afternoon, Ms. Jazmene was giving us an update about his day when another child called out for her. Without hesitation, she paused our conversation to attend to that child. It may sound like a small thing, but as parents, it was one of the most reassuring things we could witness. It showed us that the children's needs truly come first and that she is always attentive to them. That kind of genuine care means so much. It is also amazing to see how much the children learn and grow in her classroom! She creates an environment where they feel comfortable, build friendships, develop independence, and learn through play. She is especially wonderful at preparing the children for their next stage, including important milestones like potty training. It is incredible how quickly they learn with her patient and consistent guidance. We also want to recognize all the teaching assistants, who are incredibly kind, caring, and capable. They contribute so much to the loving atmosphere throughout the school. The classrooms and both the indoor and outdoor spaces are beautiful, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for children. The entire environment feels happy and inviting, encouraging friendships, cooperation, exploration, and learning through play. But what means the most to us is the peace of mind this school gives us as parents. Knowing that our boys are not only well cared for, but genuinely seen, understood, encouraged, and valued for who they are, is something we will never take for granted. There is something incredibly special about dropping your children off every morning and walking away feeling completely at ease, knowing they are in such loving and capable hands. We are so grateful for everything you do for our boys and for the happiness, security, and sense of belonging you give them every day. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Kristina, Ms. Jazmene, all the wonderful assistants, the leadership team, and everyone who makes this school such a special place. We truly couldn't be happier, and we wholeheartedly recommend this school to other families!
