Cedar Hills KinderCare 165 Southwest Cedar Hills Boulevard, Portland, OR 97225

"We've been with Cedar Hills Kindercare for more than 5 years. Our life has been much easier thanks to the amazing team who work here. Besides teaching children the academics, they keep a welcoming and caring atmosphere for them. We can feel it in the way the children are greeted by all teachers, including the ones from different classes. Drop off time has been much smoother here because kids feel loved. Our kids believe their teachers are their friends. The director and the management team are very accessible and always present at the front desk. There have been changes to teachers and management during the last few years, but the loving environment did not change. During the pandemic everyone went above and beyond to maintain a safe educational milieu, despite the stress of dealing with many uncertainties, staff shortages, and rapidly changing rules. Teachers showed up every day with smiles on their faces. During COVID, storms, and other emergencies, this center was often the only reliable option for childcare."

"We had a poor experience with the enrollment process & communication here and ultimately went somewhere else which I’m grateful for but this was a big waste of time & money. So sharing my experience… We were initially excited after touring and paid the fees to secure an infant spot the following year. After that it went downhill fast, no response from management (emails, calls) even a drop by was more empty promises as I tried to finalize leave plans. Everything stated at the initial tour dissolved when we finally got a response little over a month before they set a start date—- tuition went up 10%, no real discussion about start dates, new teachers & a license gap. Icing on the cake was when we went back to retour and the director acknowledged seeing we reached out a few times but no comment on never responding … I’d be cautious putting any money down in advance. Ultimately they had last minute openings (various places did for sept/oct). I would also advice reviewing oregons child care licensing website specifically the childcare safety portal for past inspections and incidents, that produced some insightful info. https://childcaresafetyportal.ode.state.or.us/portal/ under KinderCare Learning Center 1699"

"We couldn’t be happier with how all of the staff here love and care for our child like their own. It truly feels like part of the village, managers making an effort to get to know you and your family, while the teachers pour their hearts into developmentally appropriate activities for the kids. My daughter especially enjoys the calendars of activities each summer and looks forward to them hanging on our fridge each year so she knows what she’s looking forward to next!"

"We’ve had both our kids here which worked very well. We like the friendly staff, great teachers, large playground, and the seasonal events the school has to offer. We also like the play-based approach and appreciated the attention the teachers paid in helping the kids develop good habits."

"Our girls have been going to Cedar Hills Kindercare for 1.5 years. We love the staff and the welcoming environment they creates. Our girls have learned so much through the curriculum and have so much fun at school! Thank you for all that you do!"
