What parents say

Absolutely love the team here! The teachers are genuine, helpful, supportive, and absolutely love the children. Leaving my first baby, when she was only 3 months old was so tough, but Ms. Alondra and Ms. Sandra made my experience so special and my baby absolutely LOVES them! They were a HUGE help and support for my baby’s development. She is now in a toddler class, but she ALWAYS stops by to say hi to her teachers.…

My daughter Charlotte had a great experience with Miss Letty and Miss Angela. She still misses them and talks about them!

Aaron Peacock · 5/5 on Google · 6 months ago

Rude director and staff. The director is not a humble, welcoming or caring person. The center seems to just care about the money and not really about the families, kids, staff, etc... The lady in the front is rude and acting all like she is busy and if wanting to ask a question all bother. Do not recommend this place at all.

I'm glad to have my kids in Kindercare. The teachers are very skilled and care about their education. I feel good as a mom to know that my kids are being well taken care of and I don't have to worry, they send updates and pictures through out the day so you know how they're doing.
