Klondike KinderCare at a glance

Google reviewers rate Klondike KinderCare 4.8 out of 5 based on 52 reviews, with the owner responding to 71% of them. Positive feedback highlights consistent communication via the parent app, flexible drop-off times, and structured curriculum that prepares children for school.

However, low-star reviews allege unprofessional conduct, including staff gossiping about families and withholding information, while also criticizing the lack of craft take-homes for older children.

We have been pleased to attend this daycare for the past year and 3 months. Our son started when he was just an infant, and it was a harrowing experience trying to figure out a place that I trusted to take care of him. I often see people speak disparagingly of “corporate” daycares, but Klondike KinderCare has felt like a great mix of the big daycares (dependability, flexible drop off times, oversight, accreditation) along with a small daycare feel. The admin team—Catherine, Jordan, Emily—do such a wonderful job of planning fun family and kid activities and being available to answer any and all questions and address my first-time mom concerns. My son has loved so many of the teachers here in the infant and toddler rooms—Ms. Emilee, Ms. Halima, Ms. Myshawna, Ms. Suzanne. I’m sure there are many others who have helped him grow into the little kid he is but they are the ones I had the pleasure of interacting with the most. Two things I really appreciated about this daycare: 1) A clear curriculum for the kids, and 2) The expectation that infants will have open floor play and not be kept in containers all day. I originally chose a different daycare and then a month before we started I had qualms and enrolled my son here instead. It was the right decision.

Our son has been here from Toddler A to now Preschool A and it has been such a great experience throughout. The love and care all of his teachers and even other staff have shown him has been a blessing to our family. Ms. Myshawna, Ms. Patience, Ms. Destiny, Ms. Halee, Ms. Mara, Ms. Emilee just to name a few of his favorites and of course his current teacher Ms. Cheryl who has had so much patience and understanding with him during the potty training phase. Ms. Jordan also always keeps the festivities going! Decorations, activities, spirit week. You name it, she does it. Aside from the staff, we love the curriculum and seeing all the new crafts our boy brings home while he excitedly tries to tell us about his day. This is one of the very few places I recommend with the other places simply being other Kindercare locations. 😂

By far the best daycare I could’ve ever put my newborn in. As a fresh new mom of course I was skeptical about leaving my son anywhere. I gave them a shot because a family member of mine takes her son there and sang their praises to me. And she was not wrong. Not only did they let me meet the teachers prior to enrolling him, but they have an app service that is updated throughout the day on what your little one is doing. You can send messages to the teachers or the director CATHERINE. On top of that CATHERINE (lady in the office) is hands on always! Anytime I’m there morning or evening, she is either preparing food for the children or in a room providing assistance. The baby room teachers are attentive and truly cater to each baby’s needs. If there is an issue or preference you have for your child they accommodate immediately. I have never had to tell them anything twice. Each teacher gets to know each child as an individual. They are open and honest about all things whether they’re notifying you or you simply have questions. They truly understand all types of parents ESPECIALLY new parents. I have never felt like I was being annoying or asking too many questions. Both Catherine and Jordan are personable understanding, and you can tell that every teacher in that building is there for those children.

We’ve had a lovely experience with both our children at this Daycare. They have always been open and communicative with us on our children’s needs and expectations while attending. Both of them have really blossomed with their speech and felt like our oldest was prepared well going into kindergarten knowing the basics with colors, letters, and numbers. I love getting the updates during the day on how my babies are doing, and the pictures of their activities are so sweet to see. These people feel like family in the 5 years we have been going to this location.

Horrible and unprofessional staff there , don’t let The Red Head Director in the main office lie to you about the turnover rate. The baby area are full of gossipers which the one with the long brown hair has a 4 year old that goes there. Intentionally keep information from you about your child . These people talk about those who get child care assistance openly and that’s why i pulled my 2 boys out . Caught them as they thought i left the daycare and came back in the baby area to hear how unprofessional the head director and the staff are
