Poinsettia KinderCare

"We’ve had a wonderful experience during our time at KinderCare Poinsettia (about a year now). The team of teachers and directors are extremely welcoming and so caring for our little ones. We get updates throughout the day including pictures of what they are doing in the classrooms - so many learning and development activities I would never think of. You can see the teachers truly care about each student and their well being. There also hasn’t been a lot of turnover in staff. A few teachers have left due to moving or starting college programs but not just to go to another daycare center. This is very different from a previous school we used. I would highly recommend KinderCare Poinsettia to anyone looking for care for their children."

"When my wife and I had to go back to work after the initial COVID lockdown our previous childcare center was not open, so we decided to enroll our son in the Poinsettia Kindercare. We have been very impressed with how they are handling the social distancing and safety guidelines at this center. It is hard not being able to go in to pick up my son, but he is always brought out promptly and with a huge smile on his face! Even without being able to go into the building, we have been able to build a good relationship with the teachers. They have been doing a great job communicating how his days have gone in the classroom. Our son is always excited to go to “school” every morning, he even rushes us so he can get there. He constantly talks about his teachers and it makes us feel like he is being treated like family at this center."

"Our child was at a different daycare until about age 3.5 and she literally complained about wanting to go everyday. We finally looked into a few other daycare centers in the South Carlsbad area and ultimately decided on the Poinsettia KinderCare. While some of the programs seemed similar (price and education wise), when I toured KC, the warmth of the staff and the huge outdoor playground with all that green grass sold me on this facility. Our daughter is now ready to move on to kindergarten and it is very bittersweet to leave this place that has been a huge source of kindness, care, safety and fun for not just our child, but for the entire family. Our daughter has flourished in this program, and we couldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend Poinsettia KinderCare."

"The staff is very friendly and trustworthy. The communication they have with the parents is nothing short of outstanding. They are very clean and organized daycare. My son adored all of his teachers and I can't say enough great things about them. Wish I didnt have to leave them!!!!"

"The staff where lovely and were very welcoming, but unfortunately our experience was not great. Day 1, my 2 year old got punched in the eye, Day 2 her diaper was put on backwards when we picked her up, Day 3 my VEGAN daughter got fed a turkey sandwich even though I had clearly communicated she was vegan. We pulled our daughter out straight away and found a great school where from day 1 she was very happy. I am sure many parents have had great experience and their kids loved it, this is just my experience and sure it was an unfortunate case of events. Like I said the staff couldn’t of been nicer and did apologise. It just wasn’t a fit for our family and we made the decision to look elsewhere which turned out great. So overall everything worked out."
