KidStop Child Development Ctr.

As a newly enrolled widowed mother of one-year-old twin boys, I relocated to the area for a job transition. From the first phone call, KidStop assisted with my children's transition, as well as my own. We found the teachers to be very nurturing and to take a personal interest in our little family, beyond what was expected. The teachers helped me bravely face parenting twins as a single mom and they helped me address challenges in the midst of my grief. In one of our first experiences with the center, the teachers helped me to feel confident and resourceful in teaching the boys to feed themselves. I remember fondly the day I left the center with tears of joy after I watched them accomplish new skills. Both of my boys have thrived at the center and they are happy, playful, and engaging. The staff is a very good about informing me of concerns or developing interest, while providing many opportunities for me-as a working parent-to feel engaged and participatory in my children's care. I am quite thankful  that we found KidStop and we are a stronger family now because of their presence in our lives.

Our daughter has been attending KidStop from the time she was nine months old and now she’s almost three. Stephanie is the best fit for the center. From the first day she started, she has been wonderful at communicating upcoming events, news and general information about what’s happening within the center. If we ever have questions or need anything, she is very prompt with answers through email, phone or in person. When we pick up our daughter in the evening, she always has to stop in the office and give Stephanie a hug goodbye, which shows that she pays extra attention to the children in the center and she is well liked by all. She has done an outstanding job and continues to do so every day.<br /> As far as the center itself goes, we have been beyond pleased with our experience. All of the teachers and staff that our daughter has had have been great. Our daughter continues to amaze us with what she learns while being at KidStop. Aside from the exceptional classroom activities, KidStop offers additional activities that are convenient and fun for the children. The center is patient and understanding when transitioning her to a new classroom when they feel she is ready. They make sure to continually provide educational and fun activities for all of the children. On many days we have trouble getting our daughter to come home and we think that says a lot about the time she spends there!<br /> Overall, we are very pleased with the care our daughter has received while at KidStop. We would definitely recommend KidStop to anyone looking for care in the area.

KidStop has been an amazing and enriching experience for my daughter. The staff cares for the whole child, taking into account the emotional, physical, social, and educational needs of my daughter. There are so many things I love about KidStop. First, the hours of operation at KidStop fit our family's needs. We have an early schedule and arrive to the center when it opens. The staff is always welcoming and in tune to my child's needs early in the morning. The teachers and staff plan engaging activities for the children and welcome parents to visit the classroom. The curriculum, projects and units the teachers plan and implement are fun and offer an opportunity for the children to gain skills. The personal attention my daughter and all the children receive makes me feel like my daughter has a comfortable and positive place to learn and grow. Not only is the environment positive, but the teachers are always friendly and helpful; they consistently answer questions about my child's daily routine and provides personal details and stories about her day. I love to see the projects my daughter makes which are often accompanied by a photo of her actually working on the activity. The classroom structure has encouraged my daughter's independence and has provided wonderful opportunities for her to play and learn with other children her age. Finally, the leadership and directors at KidStop help support this environment by communicating clearly and frequently with parents; the directors are always willing to listen to your concerns and are greatly involved in the classroom curriculum and center activities. I love that the center directors always welcome my family and truly care about my child.

My family has been a part of the KinderCare family since 2008. When we found out we were expecting our third child we had no reservations of where our baby was going for the best quality of care. We have been at two different KinderCare locations due to relocation and KidStop is our favorite location. The director, assistant director and staff are so personable, diligent and dedicated. I love the fact that Stephanie, the director, greets us every morning with biggest smile and happiest hellos. Also, it makes me feel safe and reassured that Sophia, the assistant director, knows all the families' names and takes time to say goodbye to all the children. Another thing that personalizes KidStop is that I can always reach Stephanie and Sophie. KinderCare is the best choice for quality care, great teachers and peace of mind!
