"It’s located at the base of two very large electrical transmission towers. Regardless, I spoke to the director in reference to a couple of spots for my kids. I was told 2 spots opened up in a couple of weeks. We were invited to come tour the center and were told to fill out admissions paperwork for the 2 kids. After about two weeks we had not heard anything and they wouldn’t return our phone calls. I called in the final time and was told by the assistant director that there was no new availability until January of 2025. So they basically in my opinion strung us along about admissions, and then proceeded to ignore us when we had questions about a start date. I don’t know what the deal was but it seems that they handled their side extremely unprofessional. For whatever reason that the spots are “ no longer available “ don’t try to ignore us and make excuses about you “thought they were infants” or whatever else excuse you want to make. Being honest would have been the professional and respectful way to approach the situation. I’m very disappointed in my interactions here and it smelled like a dirty pet store."

"UPDATE: 6 months later and still very satisfied. I am extremely thankful for KinderCare and all that they do! I feel comfortable leaving my son there knowing that their staff genuinely cares . They constantly keep me updated with photos and videos of their activities too! It has become a nice break in my day to be able to log into the app and see how my son is doing. I have been thoroughly impressed with every single teacher that he has had while transitioning through the age groups. The entire staff there is incredible."

"This place is wonderful. Both of my children have went here. Mrs Tara has been amazing for my youngest! She has separation anxiety and Mrs Tara has been a Godsend! She is energetic and loving and has very open communication! My eldest had a strong fondness for Mrs Robin who also is amazing and of course Mrs Araselle (sorry if the spelling is wrong!) was amazing when mine was in the infant room! So many of these ladies are just amazing!"

"My daughter, Anna, has attended KinderCare since she was 3 months old. At first it was difficult to leave her with someone else, but has become so much easier thanks to KinderCare. Anna loves her teachers, Ms. Aracelle, Ms. Kara, and Ms. Ann- They always get a smile when Anna sees them each day. The teachers nurture her emotionally and intellectually and treat Anna like their own child. I can focus on my job knowing that Anna is in great hands. The teachers are great at communication throughout the day and are always receptive to conversations at drop off or pick up. I'm addition, the center directors, Ms. Lisa and Ms. Sandy, are fabulous at communication for the whole center. Any time I need to call or get information they are welcoming and know exactly who I am. We love KinderCare!"

"My husband and I have loved having our son at KinderCare. It's never easy to leave your baby in the hands of someone else, but we truly have no worries while he is at KinderCare. His teachers, Ms. Britany and Ms. Robin, go above and beyond to care on him and plan activities for his class that we know he is enjoying AND are helping him developmentally. We are provided with a glance into units and learning each month. They are fantastic with communication and put the time and effort into creating calendars to keep us in the loop and on top of things. We know our son is met with love, care, learning, and structure each day at KinderCare. We have also been immensely impressed by the management and to be honest all of the teachers we have encountered during our time there. So thankful to be part of the KinderCare family and would HIGHLY recommend!"
