University KinderCare 525 Southeast Huron Boulevard, Minneapolis, MN 55414

"The staff for the most part are nice but I feel like there should be more organized curriculum. It has a free play all day vibe. Teachers seem stressed out."

"Please do not send your children to KinderCare. As someone who worked there for about a year, I can say without a doubt that the management is consistently terrible. KinderCare routinely allows classrooms to exceed their ratios, putting children at risk. Management also does not send children home when they're sick, even during the COVID pandemic. Additionally, it appears that they make decisions based on race, which is unacceptable. I would never recommend anyone to send their child to KinderCare after my experience."

"I've had my kids at KinderCare for 8 years (with a 10 month break for COVID), and I have absolutely no regrets. The management works hard to ensure families feel comfortable with the center and have a chance to form community with each other. Kids are responsibly transitioned to the next age room, with plenty of time to develop comfort with new teachers. Staff are well trained, friendly, and work hard to put together consistent classroom cultures that allow kids to have fun while still learning appropriate-age behaviors. KinderCare is expensive, but I have never ONCE in eight years wondered whether my children were safe or cared for. My older children in particular have developed real friendships with their classmates at KinderCare--friends they still see and spend time with at camps and on weekends to this day. I wholeheartedly recommend University KinderCare."

"We've been sending our child here for almost 3 years and we couldn't be happier. He's excited to go to school every day and they're always doing something fun and educational with the children. They eat well, play outside as often as they can, and they take great care of our son. The place is clean and the staff are always in a good mood. They bring in special guests and entertainers and have multiple family-oriented events every year. During COVID, they stayed open using good safety measures and I never feel like my son is in danger while at daycare. I honestly don't know where we'd be without University KinderCare. It's been a blessing."

"We have absolutely loved this KinderCare location for our son. The staff is so kind and attentive, and have taken fantastic care of my son. They go above and beyond to make our whole family feel like a valued part of the community. The infant room staff is well-trained and so nurturing, and the administrative staff and teachers aids are wonderful. I never worry that my son is not in good hands. I absolutely recommend them if you’re looking for childcare!"
