Downtown Phoenix KinderCare

"My son is 18 months and he started about two months ago. He has anxiety around new people and is definitely scared of new places. After about two weeks of going to this KinderCare, he was comfortable and was super excited to go everyday. The staff is so nice and welcoming. They have an app where they send pictures and videos throughout the day and a report at the end of the day that tells me what he ate and how many diapers were changed. I would recommend them every time"

"1 month into working from home while taking care of my infant daughter, I had to make the difficult decision to send her to daycare in the middle of a pandemic. Shanta at KinderCare gave us a virtual tour of the facility and showed us all the precautions they were taking, and it helped ease my anxiety. Now we are 5 months in, and I have no regrets. I can contribute much of my daughter’s rapid development, good health, and great social skills to the talented, compassionate, and patient caretakers at KinderCare. They’ve not only gone above and beyond in caring for her, they’ve also been a great resource to me as a first-time parent. The photos and notifications I get throughout each day make me feel connected to my baby when I can’t be with her and I know she’s being cared for. My family is so grateful for KinderCare and the amazing people who work there!"

"In such uncertain and stressful times, I can't express how thankful I am for this Kindercare. I have sent both my children to this location over several years and have gotten the chance to experience almost every room. I feel so secure sending my kids there knowing that Shanta and Miss Antoinette are keeping the place clean and safe, and knowing the teachers (Miss Vicky, Miss Chelsea, Miss Meisha, Miss D, Miss Valerie, Miss Bri, Miss Tammy... all of you!) are so loving and fun with my children. After covid started we took a little break from school, but after restarting I have seen such an explosion in learning from my eldest in Miss Meisha's room - he is really blossoming under her teaching. I also cannot say enough about Miss Vicky in the baby room, she is a baby whisperer. Miss Shanta and Miss Antoinette are very busy keeping the admin side running smoothly (a great undertaking with covid in force), but are also always there with personal interaction with me and my children, showing they are not only keeping the business in tip top shape but also providing a caring environment for all the children there and getting to know them all themselves. And I get daily updates with pictures and videos of both my kids, which is so wonderful to be able to check in on them throughout the day. I have sent messages through the app and I get almost instant replies, which is another positive function of this location - I am always impressed with their communication (they are proactive in their reporting and are also very on top of even the smallest incidents). I know that it must be very difficult for new parents to send their children to a place they can't go inside right now (because of covid), but I want to help calm any fears; it is sparkling clean, very safe, and so loving. The teachers have so much fun with them and keep a close eye on all of the interactions between the children and are very good at communicating about each child's individual day and overall experience. Miss Shanta has this place running like a dream and I am so happy with our childcare because of her. These teachers are on the front-line and are doing so much for our kids/families at their own risk. I can't say enough about the entire staff!!"

"Our family has been part of the KinderCare family for 2 1/2 years. I cannot praise the teachers and staff enough. My son absolutely loves going to school, and has learned so much. The teachers treat him like extended family, and I couldn't ask for a better environment. Ms. Teri works hard to make the center warm and welcoming, and puts in so much time. We are one of the first families to drop off in the morning and she and Ms. Dee are almost always the ones to greet us, with smiles. I appreciate that they are not just baby sitters - the center has a curriculum and my son is constantly learning and experiencing new things. His language exploded early, and they even were able do most of his potty training. The center has had a few leadership changes over the years, but I am happy with the current management. They are ensuring that they have the right people in the classrooms, and do not keep under-performing teachers on staff. They are always busy, but anytime I have ever needed to talk they have been available. We now have two children that attend school, and I couldn't imagine taking them anywhere else."

"My daughter (3 years old) has been going to this KinderCare for almost 1.5 years. I would recommend this daycare to anyone. Teri and Dee are amazing, informative and always available for questions. ALL of the teachers are absolutely wonderful. My child has been in 4 different classrooms (moving for age) and has always had a wonderful bond with her teachers. Having a place to leave your child while you are at work that you trust is so important and can be hard to find. Thanks Downtown KinderCare for taking wonderful care of my little one!"
