Kelley Austin KinderCare 3103 Kelley Austin Drive, Raleigh, NC 27610

"We have had a wonderful experience at this daycare. The teachers and administrative staff have been nothing but kind and welcoming towards my family. We started our little one in the infant class and I’ve watched him grow more curious and social in the toddler room. He is not only cared for but engaged in so many fun and exciting activities."

"This certain location . Is very messy . I hear staff talk about other staff while walking along the halls . The new assistant director Tina is very unprofessional , very loud in the hallway . Ms ebony the (assistant director) isn’t much help when asking her questions she acts like she doesn’t know anything . I do not recommend this location. Take your kids somewhere else ."

"It has taken me awhile to process my experience here. Our time in the infant room was very stressful and ultimately we decided to pull our son from this daycare. First, the education on breastmilk is very lacking. There were times where I would pick up my son right before a feeding and the bottle would be scolding hot! Breastmilk should never be warned this much as it destroys the beneficial properties. Secondly, they aren’t very knowledgeable about feeding expectations for infants in general. I remember Ms. Jean pulling me aside and stating that my child was behind because he wasn’t eating pizza and sandwiches at 11 months old. As a new mom, I was concerned and took him to a food therapist who was appalled that a teacher would even suggest such things. It took us MONTHS to get him comfortable with food after being in Ms. Jean’s class. Most of the teachers are kind but need more education on AAP recommendations and normal infant feeding expectations."

"We have loved our experience at the Kelley Austin KinderCare! Ms Belinda and Ms. Ajeenah are the best, as the assistant and directors. They know my kid and love her dearly. Teachers are great too. The app they use is really helpful for communicating with the teachers and they're great about uploading photos throughout the day and keeping us parents informed. Will be sending my second kid there as well!"

"We have both of our children at Kelly Austin KinderCare and we love it! The teachers are wonderful, you can tell they genuinely like the children. With our older son, his teacher did 99.9% of the potty training - we just reinforced and enjoyed the benefits at home! This daycare is Montessori-style, which means they encourage independence. Our oldest especially responds really well to this type of environment. We noticed some staff turnover in the younger-aged rooms, but the teachers in the older classrooms seem more consistent."
