Candlewood KinderCare

Great for my son going past 1 year almost. Love his teacher and director. Great job! Just if we have a web cam option which is tough to find in here Omaha.Some of my Boston friends have it which might have been good if we have here too. But overall we are happy!

Just like Scott said, we looked at a bunch of other daycares in the area, including another Kindercare location, before we decided on this one. We are a bit on the over protective side, and we have a hard time trusting strangers with our kid, but the people at this location do not feel like strangers at all. The director at this location really has her act together. All the teachers are really nice and knowledgeable. They are always learning about something new in fun, age appropriate ways. There is always something fun going on. Our daughter LOVES going to "school" as she calls it. She has made tons of friends there. We have since added on Phonics to the cost of her tuition and she loves that, too. They made popsicles one day. They had a cute little Halloween party (no costumes though). They are going to have pajama day, crazy hair day, and a bunch of other fun things like that. They studied the science of dirt. One of the classrooms was growing some kind of plants. Every week has a new theme for what they study. Themes include things like dinosaurs, occupations, etc. They did a cute little recital in the winter and sang a snowflake song.We had a parent teacher conference where her teacher showed us all the things she has learned so far, what she is proficient with, what she is a little behind in, etc. Any time we have any concerns we can just pop in and talk to her teacher about it so we're all on the same page. It's been really great. We are glad we found this daycare. Our daughter loves it so much, that when she is too sick to go she stays home and plays "school." I feel good knowing that she is having a great time AND learning so much. I really feel like this is helping prepare her for real school. I feel like she is in a safe place, being cared for by very capable people who genuinely care.My only complaint so far is that the only actual credit cards they take are Discover, which is just weird. So I have to pay with my debit card. But at least they send me a handy email reminder every week saying my payment is due, with the link to go online and pay it. It's very convenient to pay online.

After a year of searching for childcare for our 3 year old, we found this Kindercare location. Keep in mind that not all Kindercare locations are created equally, but this one is TOP NOTCH! The Director has been amazingly responsive to our needs and every teacher is knowledgeable and courteous. This location is NAEYC certified and they have a wonderful, age appropriate curricula. Our toddler loves to go to "school" each and everyday. She's made some wonderful friends and has had an awesome experience at this location.I highly recommend this Kindercare location to any and all "over protective and picky" parents out there!
