I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I have two children both whom have attended Kid City. The staff has always treated us just like family. My children have always been taken care of, never cared when I would leave and always loved staying at drop off. We had switched to a closer center close to home for about a month but ended up back at kid city because my children were not adjusting well. We love Kid City and know they do a great job from ages infant to 6 years of age which is the age when we moved from the state. I highly recommend this childcare center.

The kids took a field trip to the Hurricane Spray Ground and City Park. As a parent I would be very concerned for these children. The kids are running all over and are not watched well at all. I just pray that these kids don't get taken or hurt while the two coordinators are on their phones or in the other side of the park from the kids. The children are also not very well mannered, throwing mud at each other and pushing on the jungle gym. If you have a choice, do not send you children to this Center or if you must go there request better care on field trips.

About the Provider

Advertisement
Located just off the Mink Shoals exit, Kid City Child Enrichment Center welcomes infants, toddlers, and children, ages 6 weeks to 12 years. After 20 years of catering to kids, our parents feel safe knowing each member of our loving and caring staff of 10 is not only certified in infant and toddler care and early childhood development through the state of West Virginia, but also both CPR certified and first aid trained.

Each child is offered breakfast, hot lunch, and a snack following their afternoon nap. Our staff encourages our children to practice good manners, cleanliness, and respect for their peers.

During the summer, our school-aged children are privileged to go on fun and exciting field trips to the pool, various water parks, the movie theater, museums, and many other kid-friendly destinations.
