Cordera Kindercare Learning Center

Our child attended this center for almost 4 years, starting from when it opened. Our early experience was overall good. The previous director and most of the staff seemed invested in nurturing the kids and working with parents to solve any problems that came up. The teachers were usually ready to work with us directly to address any issues, but if that didn't work, we also had the support anytime we needed to escalate to get something resolved. It's taken me a bit to get to writing this review, but at the point in time when we left around a year ago, the new management only cared about putting checks in boxes for licensing requirements, and the center's reputation, and not much else. Our son started to come home telling us about problems he was experiencing with one of the teachers. We saw it for ourselves as well - she was damaging his items, throwing things in the classroom, calling the kids "disgusting", and would ignore us and didn't even acknowledge us when we dropped him off in the morning. We started to ask questions and raise concerns about the behaviors we were seeing from this teacher. As soon as we did this, the center suddenly started generating a lot of artificial documentation and "incident reports", and claiming that our son was exhibiting problematic behaviors. Prior to us starting to ask questions about this teacher, we had no prior indication that anything was wrong. As we were trying to work with the center to figure out what was going on, they would not communicate constructively, gave us false information about what was happening, continued on the path of generating lots of documentation, and then suddenly disenrolled us. I called family support and explained the situation and everything that had happened, and they concluded that we had been wrongfully disenrolled. This center had many ups and downs and staffing challenges over the years, but we ultimately landed in a place where they did not care about kids or parents. As further evidence that they were only concerned with reputation, around the time we were disenrolled I looked at reviews and noticed that many of the five-star ones were written by staff and teachers. For the sake of everyone who has continued care there, and anyone new coming in, I hope that this whole situation has improved. We had a pretty good experience while it was good, but ultimately it went south really quickly and unexpectedly for us. We ended up moving on to another company and child care option where our kiddo has been thriving and extremely happy, so contrary to what this center made us believe, there was never any issue on our end - we were simply concerned parents asking reasonable questions about issues we were seeing, and they handled this in a way that was extremely inappropriate.

We started at KinderCare Cordera about a year ago when our son was 3 months old. To be fully honest, we’d been on a waitlist somewhere else that fell through so this was our plan B. We are SO unbelievably grateful that this is where we ended up! I could not have asked for more loving teachers to walk with us as new parents. Tori and Nina in the infant room truly love my son, and I’ve had such peace of mind entrusting him to their care each day. He is so happy to go right to their arms, which makes this momma know he feels safe and cared for. He has grown and learned so much from them! Elizabeth, the assistant director has always been so warm and welcoming. She helped put my anxious mind at ease from the very beginning. She and the new director, Carolina, have so graciously helped us navigate the unique eating needs of our little one and worked with us to make sure his needs were being met to continue growing. We are truly grateful for this amazing team and how they’ve gone above and beyond to care for our family!

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Sarah, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Sonia, all of the teachers, and the entire support staff at this school. Zachy had a very difficult experience at his previous school, drop-offs were filled with tears and anxiety, and he was often separated from his classmates by his teachers. Since joining here, he has truly come back to himself. He now wakes up excited to go to school, happily talks about his friends, and comes home smiling every day. Thank you for creating such a kind, nurturing environment where he feels safe, supported, and loved. It means so much to our family, and we know we made the right decision. We will continue to support the school in every way we can.

5/5 Stars – Absolutely love Cordera KinderCare! I can't say enough good things about Cordera KinderCare – hands down the best child care for your little ones! From the moment you walk in for the tour, the place will feel bright, clean, welcoming, and genuinely caring. The facility is modern and well-maintained (it still feels pretty new!), with spacious classrooms, tons of natural light, age-appropriate toys and learning materials everywhere, and super safe outdoor play areas that the kids absolutely adores. The teachers and management are the real gems here. They're warm, patient, highly engaged, and truly seem to love what they do. Children have formed such sweet bonds with them, and the parents love getting daily updates, photos, and notes about their day – it makes dropping off so much easier knowing they're truly seen and nurtured. The curriculum is fantastic too – they do such a great job blending fun, play-based learning with early academics, social skills, and even extras like music, phonics, and cooking activities. We've seen noticeable growth in confidence, language, and independence with children that go here. Communication with parents is excellent, the leadership team is approachable, and safety feels like a top priority every single day. Flexible hours work perfectly with parents schedules, and the overall vibe is positive and community-oriented – it really feels like an extension of family. If you're in the Cordera/Briargate area and looking for a place where your child will be loved, challenged, and happy, look no further. Highly, highly recommend – 10/10 would choose this kindercare for my children! (and I tell every parent I know to check it out)!

My three year old started here two months ago. We are so happy with the care she is receiving at Cordera KinderCare. The director, assistant director and all of the teachers we have met are incredible. Couldn’t recommend this center more!
