Berkley KinderCare

Kindercare has been such a great place for my 8 month old. Everyone has been so kind.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Kindercare-Berkley. We have felt incredibly welcomed and confident that our daughter is safe and in great hands. I appreciate the frequent photo/video updates throughout the day. They keep the app updated hourly. There's a variety of activities - both indoor and outdoor! The facility itself is beautiful and clean , and creates a bright and fun environment for children. There is a large gym and outdoor, gated playground. Lastly, you can't beat the hours! As a Corewell physician, I love being able to drop my daughter off at 6:30am and drive <1mile to the hospital in the morning. Incredibly convenient.

As a parent whose child has been enrolled at Berkley KinderCare since its inception, I can attest to the extremely positive experience we've had with this childcare center. From the very beginning, the dedication and expertise of the teaching staff have consistently exceeded our expectations. We have always had positive experiences with the staff and Ms. Gabby, Ms. Stephanie, and Ms. Audrey are amazing. Even amidst the management transition last year, these teachers remained and ensured a seamless transition for the children and families. Having had an older child attend Berkley Building Blocks, we can also attest to the noticeable difference in academic readiness between the two programs. Our son has thrived academically under the guidance of the KinderCare curriculum, and we firmly believe he is well-equipped to start elementary school.

Please for the healthy and safety of your child, do not bring them here. Neither the center director, Sarah, nor her assistant, Pam, should have careers working with children. You’d never be able to guess that they are both mothers, as they lack essential qualities of empathy and overall humanity. I do not feel comfortable leaving my child somewhere management does not bother to introduce herself to me or take the time to learn my child’s name. Clearly I am not the only one feeling this way as I scroll through the numerous 1 star reviews. It truly baffles me that KinderCare has not addressed the elephant in the room of new management. Yikes!

Berkley KinderCare was such a great center until the new director came into place. The lack of communication she gives to parents and the way she treats her staff is disgusting . I knew every single child and parent and Sarah didn’t like it because I was well liked. She doesn’t care for your concerns if you have any she will just send you a generic message about “thank you for your feedback”. My son was neglected multiple times when it came to his care and he’s been there since he was 7 months old now he’s about 3. The inconsistency of the staff not knowing who your child’s teacher was going to be was upsetting because they aren’t learning anything. The new director Sarah is hiring staff members who “don’t even know if they like kids” as I have heard from multiple new staff members. She is a gaslighting,narcissistic person who runs a center full of kids. Not to mention the amount of calls licensing has gotten since she started being the new director. We went from an amazing center to a center that has so much negative energy that parents are pulling left and right. They do not feed the children proper nutrition nor do they have the right supplies for the children either from diapers,wipes to even cleaning supplies to make sure the center is nice and clean. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!
