San Carlos KinderCare

I will give them 2 stars for two thing your child will experience there: they will be safe and they will be surrounded with children. I don’t know if that is enough for you as a parent — maybe it is. For us, it was not something I want our daughter to experience. This is more like leaving your child at a big school, with too many kids to handle for one teacher, cold atmosphere, messy, not clean, kids are just all over the place. My advice: find a smaller, more intimate place where your children will get the care they need, lots of one on one work, a place where they will feel safe and cosy, a place where they will do more then one art work a month… This place is a good example what happens when it becomes a corporation.

We had a unique situation needing care only 3 days a week, only in the summer, with two different payers, and not during two particular weeks. Jessica went above and beyond accommodating our needs and making sure we got the best rate possible (through an employer subsidy program). The kids enjoyed their teachers and their friends, and we had a solid experience with this facility. It als made a big difference that the staff seemed to love the kids and their jobs. Their excitement about upcoming field trips, for example, kept our oldest interested too.

Mindy is an awesome center director and I especially love Delores in the infant room :)
