Kipling Parkway KinderCare

Things were not what they seemed here. Our first experiences with Kipling Kindercare were great. However, things go worse the longer we were there and we ended up removing our kids. My son told me on the way home one night that his teacher had called him a «weirdo». At first I thought they might have been joking around, but he was pretty heartbroken about it. I immediately told the directors about it and was told they would handle it and give me an update. This was on a Friday, I hadn’t heard by Tuesday, so I asked and she said they teacher had received a verbal warning. I’m not sure if they really talked with her at all, but my son said the teacher was still never very nice to him. Even throwing his sandwich away during afternoon snack (he had a bit left from his school lunch and they were supposed to be allowed to eat it). The rest of the class got to eat snack and he didn’t. My daughter always loved her time in the 2 – 3 year old room… but the after school room was always drama. I was a few minutes late picking the kids up one night because of traffic (I called to tell them) and was told by Darcy, the director, that she was eager to go because her divorce was final that day and she was headed to the bar to celebrate. Darcy made several comments throughout our time there that I felt were inappropriate. We are much happier now that we’ve switched!

They reward bad behavior! My child had some communication issues and when he would get frustrated he’d act out. The discipline at Kindercare is to send the child home. My son quickly learned if he wanted to go home all you need to do is hit or bite and they’ll call mom and dad.
After switching providers that would not just send him home he stopped acting out in a matter of weeks. We found out then we didn’t have a problem child just a problem daycare.
