Village Drive KinderCare

Both my kids (1 and 4) go to this daycare. The 4 yr-​old told me he really likes this daycare (he went to another one before this), which makes me really happy. The 1 yr-​old just started and he is already learning a lot of new things like picking up small food and eating himself. The teachers are really friendly and seem genuinely care about the kids. This daycare opens 6 am-​6 pm which works great for us. In the beginning I went to the daycare everyday during lunch break to breastfeed my 1 yr-​old, and the teachers are perfectly ok with it. Overall, I am really satisfied with this daycare.

Avoid putting your child in any daycare because he/​she is the parent’s primary responsibility and needs your love and care. Most daycare are run to maximize profits like any business so unquantifiables like care take a dive
Village drive kindercare in particular houses lot of kids in a small area and they happen to pass germs and diseases all the time. Imagine 20 adults in a 8 feet x 8 feet area– how uncomfortable would that be if you were one of those adults. Kids are more active and move around a lot more so that kind of area is too small. The space comment doesn’t just apply to this daycare but to any daycare in this price range, when run at its full government approved capacity. We need to be talking to our representatives.
Additionally, in every daycare, the regular teachers are relieved by part-​time workers. They may not be all that motivated and not very caring. They are the ones you meet, when you pick up your kid. So any questions about your kids day are only answered by a vague yes or a well rehearsed great. If you probe a little, you discover the shallowness of their answers. Sometimes they say that they will relay your concern to the main teacher and you never hear back. Parents are too busy and tired after work to follow up. This is generally how most daycares function.
The director here is always pleasant to talk to and so are most of the teachers. The have large playgrounds that seem safe. Their food quality seems to be ok.

This is a good school. I thought they were a bit pricier than others. What i don’t like here is the teachers get tired midway, there is sometimes severe lackluster attitude however they still do their jobs well (that’s why the 3 stars). Secondly all trained teachers take off at 3pm and children are monitored by hourly employees after… these hourly employees may or may not give a damn to overall development of the baby.
