We had a nanny and a home day care until our daughter was about 22 months. I had almost been worried about how little she had been trying to talk when she entered Kindercare. Now, she speaks in full sentences (4 months later), uses scissors like a champ, holds markers (etc) "almost" properly, and sings us songs with actions all the time. Her main teacher is master's prepared and truly pushes these kids to the best of their abilities. She loves every teacher there and always comes home talking about her friends!The other main reason I love this daycare is that they're reliable. They're open as early and as late as we've needed them for our work schedules, and are extremely flexible when I need to add on days. At the in home daycare we had to deal with the daycare lady's kids being sick, or poor hours, or them leaving on vacation frequently. It was not reliable enough and I found myself having to call in sick at my job when my daughter nor I were sick. The directors are wonderful and respond to calls and emails quickly as well.Seriously, no complaints from this mama!

Very. Frustrating. My wife and I enrolled our 2-1/2 year-old-son in early November 2011. We pulled him out and enrolled him in another daycare by the end of the month. Here's why... I would drop off my child in the morning with no issues. Picking up, however, is where we had problems. Nearly every day there was an issue with misplaced belongings or some unexplained physical ailment. At the end of the day, my son's hoodie or coat ended up in another child's cubby. Parents shouldn't have to search other students' cubbies to locate their child's items despite labeling each of his items. After the first snowfall, I brought in his snowpants and boots. 3 days later, again at pick-up time, I was looking for his boots to ensure that they were still there. His boots were not in his cubby so I asked one of the teachers for help. The teacher responded that every student's items are put back in their corresponding cubbies. I responded that this was untrue because the boots clearly were not where they were supposed to be. The teacher said that they would locate the boots the next day. To my frustration, they could not locate my son's missing boots so I had to purchase new boots.There were several days where our son came home with a diaper rash due to not cleaning him well enough after bowel movements. There were also days where he developed a rash on his face which the teachers couldn't explain. The final straw was arriving to pick up my son to find that a bright, red ring had developed around his entire mouth. Again I asked the teachers what had happened and again they could not offer an explanation. When a parent leaves their child in an established daycare center, one would expect that the child is receiving proper attention and care. Clearly, this was not happening. I can't speak for all KinderCare locations but our experience at the Hanson Blvd, Coon Rapids location certainly was not pleasant. My wife and I now refer to this location as KinderDontCare.

Terrible company. Was a parent and a worker here. Never again. They don't care about anything, all about money. Removing my post will not help. People have a right to know what kindercare is truly like. Be honest with people, don't cover it up. I am not a conflict of interest either so whoever removed that and said that is funny. People need true, 100% honest reviews. Not covered up lies.

We LOVE this KinderCare!! My son has been going to Kinder Care since he was 2 years old he is now in the Pre-K class and will be heading to Kindergarten next year. The teachers and directors are so friendly and helpful. My son is very active and sometimes needs a few extra reminders. The teachers are patient and willing to work with him and us. I get phone calls from his teacher just to tell me he has had a great day. He has learned so much and made so many friends. I would recommend this KinderCare to anyone looking for childcare.
