Kidd's Care is wonderful. We have tried three different daycares for our child and ended up with the greatest daycare we could've hoped for. Our child has a serious medical condition and Kidds Care treats him with the upmost care. They have been so accommodating to his multiple therapists and have worked diligently to adapt to his needs. We truly trust them with his health and well-being. Best of all Kidd's Care treats all of the children like family. They are so generous and kind to me and my son. Kidds Care has an at-home feel with small classes. Our son is delighted every day when we drop him off. We couldn't ask for a better environment for him.
