  • Do not recommend. Our son attended for two months this summer because they were the first place to have availability when we moved to town. He left once a spot became available elsewhere. The staff in the infant rooms are consistently out of ratio - at times we would drop off and there would be 8-10 infants with one staff member. He would come home in diapers that were not his own. While we were trying to break him of a pacifier, we would receive pictures of him uploaded to the app where he was using a random pacifier, after telling the staff we didn't want him using one. The worst part was undoubtedly playing the "baby hunger games." Because of consistent short-staffing and illness, we frequently had to rush out the door in the morning hope that we were one of the first four babies in the room, or else we were SOL for childcare for the day. My child also consistently came home in dirty clothes, something which has not happened at his new daycare.

  • Our son has been attending Kindercare for a few months now after having negative results with prior sitter in the past, we are extremely happy we made the switched to Kindercare. The staff & directors have been welcoming, knowledgeable, & caring to our sons and our needs/questions. We are extremely satisfied with the care our son has received. We love the constant updates & photos we get thru out the day. We also love that they do activities to keep it fun while they learn. We would recommend Kindercare to any parent.

  • Not a warm and friendly welcome my daughter started on Wednesday. No good morning or nothing oh WE CAN'T TAKE HER AND IM LIKE HER. THAT'S NOT HER NAME SHE HAS A NAME AND ITS NOT HER, and then on Thursday something happened I took it to the directions she seemed to have concerns about it. she will address it to the teacher on Friday they were unable to take MY DAUGHTER red flags for me.

  • My son was about 2.5 when I sent him to this school.. he would cry hysterically every time we got to the door. I assumed he was just having a hard time adjusting to the new environment.. one day I got a call from the school right before the time I’d pick him up. The staff told me “my son was at the table having lunch outside and was playing and fell back and got a boo boo, but he’s doing fine” it just didn’t sound right to me so I hurried to go get him …. And his mouth was completely busted, his tooth went through his gum, and his top lip was HUGE! Once I got there they told 3 DIFFERENT stories & wouldn’t let me see any camera footage hence because the cameras “ keep rolling and do not save”. I wouldn’t recommend this place/franchise to ANYONE.

  • I've been with Kindercare for 6 years. The curriculum largely depends on the strength and knowledge of the staff. Kindercare has struggled to maintain quality teachers as its not a competitive company. Our childcare rates have steadily increased every year without the stability of a staff that my kids need at this age, and with stricter rules that provide no leniancy for families. As a public school teacher by profession, the stability and love of a teacher is fundamental to development and learning. I'm disappointed in the decline Kindercare has had, especially the last 3 years. I know they can do better if they're going to charge exorbitant fees for tuition.

  • Our daughter attended Riverbend in the infant classroom during the Covid-19 pandemic. We were extremely happy with everything during our time there. Her teachers were clearly very experienced, kind and warm. We always felt confident that she was loved and well-cared for. We found the administrative staff very helpful and easy to work with and felt the adapted well to keep everyone safe during the pandemic. Would definitely recommend based on our experience there.
