I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Kids care has been amazing! My son loves to go to school everyday and they have been wonderful with his transition! I can’t think of one negative thing to say! I trust them and I am never concerned about my son! Blessed to have him somewhere where the staff are so caring and dedicated!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My daughter started here at 4 months and after viewing tons of other facilities before having to go back to work I knew that this one was THE ONE! Everyone is so kind and really made the transition from maternity leave/stay at home mom back into working mom so much easier! I love all of my daughter's teachers and the facility is well equipped to take care of children of all ages.!!! I have nothing bad to say about this wonderful place and its wonderful staff! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Owner response : Thank you so much Nicole for your review! It warms our heart to hear such sweet things. We love that you picked us as the ONE and couldn't be happier to be apart of your child's growth and development!

I am an employee

This job has not a professional coworkers and I see many negligence's "teachers" who never received a consequence and still working with children, also they had many teachers without knowledge on this area. If you are 18 and up you can apply for this job. I'm move from his center to real program.

My daughter has been here for seven years and always taken care of with great respect! The preschool years were amazing and they did a fantastic job of getting her ready for school - she was already reading before she went thanks to them! Whenever there were any issues, which were few and far between (every new mother has some worries) they were addressed professionally and quickly!

We had an amazing experience with some outstanding teachers for my daughter age 1 through 3. When she was almost 4 she began being bullied by 2 other children and nothing was done about it. My daughter would cry being left there, causing nightmares and behavior issues. We pulled her out and into a real preschool and realized how much she WASNT learning at Kids Care
