Kennydale KinderCare

“ Our family has had both of our children in the Kennydale KinderCare facility for the past six years. We have been very pleased with the facility, the teachers and the curriculum offered there. Last year, our five-year-old daughter participated in the Kindergarten program during the school year as she missed enrollment by three months. The program was beautifully laid out with Kindergarten curriculum and the classroom was just like you would see in a traditional school setting, not like a daycare. The “smart board” teaching method was loved by my daughter which allowed her to interact with the curriculum and her classmates in a fun environment. The kids participated in science experiments, reading, math, theme weeks, writing, and much more throughout the year. The program was extremely organized and it established a great routine for my daughter. Routine is the number one thing most children have a hard time adjusting to when entering Kindergarten for the first time. Recently, my daughter started Kindergarten in public school. Five of the students from KinderCare are in her class and the teacher took time out of her busy day to write me a note saying how impressed she was with my daughters reading skills. She’s reading at a second grade level! She also made mention that out of all of her students, the KinderCare graduates were hands down the most prepared, well acclimated kids in Kindergarten. This made me really happy as a parent—to know I made a great choice and investment in my child’s education.

“ The Teachers at Kennydale are amazing. My daughter was nervous and scared the first day I dropped her off and they made the transition gentle and easy. Miss Bonnie and Miss Rowena both came over and introduced themselves to my daughter and started up a conversation with her about things she liked and what she was excited about doing at school. She has learned SO much at Kennydale and made some wonderful friends. Everytime I enter the building with my daughter we are greeted with a friendly hello and hugs. It honestly feels like a second home to both my daughter and I. I know that when I leave her for the day she is going to be loved, cared for, and learn so many new things. She is excited everyday to go to school. Thank you to everyone at Kennydale Kindercare, you guys are ROCK STARS! 

“ We recently made the decision to move our two boys to the Kennydale KinderCare when I noticed my oldest son’s behavior changing drastically over a period of a few months at his old daycare. He has Sensory Processing Disorder and as a result he requires a calm, strictly scheduled environment with minimal distractions. He had gone from a generally well behaved and well liked child to a child that couldn’t handle his emotions, was called names daily by his classmates and was in trouble every day for hitting, spitting, kicking and running out of the classroom. Every day he told me he didn’t like school, they were mean and he didn’t want to go. As a mother it broke my heart and I knew a change in his environment had to be made. Moving my children to the Kennydale KinderCare was the best decision I could have made for them! Moving daycare centers was a very comfortable transition for our entire family knowing how Ms. Ronna and Ms. Lanette ran things in their last daycare. They knew my boys and placed them in the appropriate classrooms where my children would get what they needed to succeed both educationally and socially. Lanette and Ronna have high expectations of their teachers and it shows in the way they interact with my children. I can’t say enough great things about my oldest son’s teacher Ms. Bonnie. I jokingly call her the child whisperer, but it’s true! The change in my son was immediate from the first day he stepped in class and was welcomed by his teachers. The classroom is clam, stays on schedule and Ms. Bonnie teaches with a strict but VERY loving style. I have not received one report of him misbehaving at school where I had a stack of notes to sign every day at his last one. When he misbehaves at home all I have to say is “Would Ms. Bonnie be OK with you doing that?” and he immediately starts behaving. I have not heard one complaint about the teachers or classmates from my son. He tells me daily how nice everyone is and how much fun he has at school. He can’t leave without giving his teachers a hug goodbye and every weekend asks me if it’s Monday yet so he can go back to school. I would highly recommend the Kennydale KinderCare to anyone; they gave me my happy and sweet little boy back!

“ What Kennydale KinderCare means to our family - a safe, clean, caring, and academic institution that is an extension of our home. Finding a facility to care for our little ones was a daunting task, but we are blessed to have found such a nurturing place for our kids to prosper. Kennydale KinderCare offers a clean and academically focused center that focuses on the individualized care of each child it cares for. As a family with two toddlers, we could not be more satisfied with our choice in facilities to care for our active and developing children.

“ Good afternoon! I write you as a parent of two toddlers that attend the Kennydale Kindercare under the care of Lanette Tapia and her team. My husband and I are busy professionals with little time on our hands but wanted to take a moment to express our sincerest appreciation for the leadership Lanette has brought to Kennydale Kindercare since her arrival to this facility. It seems to me that more often than not people take the time to launch complaints rather then send compliments and I can't think of time better spent than to tell you what wonderful care our children are in. Lanette and her team have created a second home for our children and because of their support, our kids are prospering in a way we could only hope for. The staff at our Kindercare love our children and it shows ... they care for them like a family member would and again, it shows. Lanette has expectations for her staff that translate to clean classrooms, happy kids, and consistency in the care our children receive. Each week we know what to expect and that consistency for two working parents is integral to the success of our little family. I am certain you know what an asset Lanette, Ronna, and Jayme are to Kindercare ... but I wanted to reiterate it. They are just wonderful. They are professional and our babies could not be in better hands. I won't labor on ... but please know that from a parent perspective, you scored when you hired these women. Kindly, H Family  

“ Our 22 month old daughter has progressed so much in the three months she has been there we are so delighted.   Our 5 year old-after being at this KinderCare only, enrolled last September in St Philomena Catholic school. She not only blew out the entry test, she continues daily to demonstrate her advanced reading and math skills. This entire school year, with a weekly spelling test she only missed a combined total of FIVE words, mostly due to wandering mind (she spelled "if" ef).   How many 5 year olds can spell leprechaun, gingerbread or thanksgiving? How many know to, too and two- and the meaning of all three? Mine can, and she is in advanced math and reading. Is she smart? Sure. But where did she learn? Kennydale KinderCare
