Seven Fields KinderCare

The phonics program at KinderCare was some of the best money we have spent during our time there. I would highly recommend it to every parent. The difference the program and the one on one attention made in helping my daughter recognize and learn the sounds of letters was amazing. The program gave her such an edge when the class started learning to read in Kindergarten that she was able to read chapter books by the end of the year and sound out most of the words without much help. I would without hesitation make the same decision to enroll her again and have done so with my second child.

As a parent of an internationally adopted child, we required a facility that could offer more than basic daycare services. Our son, at 19 months, was not accustomed to eating solid foods, which meant he would need special attention at breakfast and lunch. He was still learning to understand English as he had only been with us for four months prior to attending KinderCare. After reviewing multiple child care favilities in our area, it was clear that KinderCare would offer him the best level of care. 
The Center Director, Becky Stein, and the teachers and staff of KinderCare welcomed our son to their facility with patience, attention and most importantly, love. They took time to meet with us to discuss not only his needs, but his overall goals for education. 
It is now more than a year since he enrolled at KinderCare. The efforts of the KinderCare team are clearly showing results. He is now speaking English very clear, asking many questions and singing his ABCs and many other songs. He has a strong knowledge of various types of cars/trucks, shapes, animals, insects, and many other items due to KinderCare curriculum. He is very polite, saying please, thank you, excuse me, etc. when appropriate. Each day we pick him up, it is clear he has learned something new and is excited to tell and/or show us, much to our delight. 
The love and patience provided by the entire KinderCare team makes us realize how lucky we are to have found them. It is clear that KinderCare is preparing our son for the next level, both in academics and appropriate behavior.

When we began the search for a school for our daughter, Bailey, we truly wanted a school. Not a daycare that just watched children, but an actual school that had programming and was fully aware of developmental milestones. We interviewed at several schools and did a lot of research. Once we looked at everything, KinderCare Seven Fields rose to the top and we have not been disappointed. 
The teachers and staff at KinderCare Seven Fields have gone above and beyond for our daughter. She was born premature and, due to our work situations, started there when she was only seven weeks old and weighing only five pounds. During her first year she has experienced some hospitalizations and set-backs, but the staff has worked with her extensively, and we credit them with her phenomenal progress. They maintain excellent contact with us and are very aware of our daughter’s strengths and needs. I, myself, am a principal and I cannot begin to give enough praise to the staff for their professionalism and the educational environment they have created. Bailey loves going to school and is always smiling when she is there. They have truly made a difference in our lives and we are looking to the next several years with KinderCare Seven Fields!

When his older brother moved on to Kindergarten, our youngest son had to learn how to be dropped off at KinderCare on his own. It was new and different and he struggled with the change. But Ms. Becky found time every morning to check on him, most of the time being there in person at his drop-off to hug him, hold him or take him on an adventure. Even though she had a lot of responsibilities as center director, she went out of her way to help one of her youngest students with a tough part of his day. I know it meant a lot to him because he often asked to hug her goodbye when we were leaving the center in the late afternoon. Ms. Becky also took the time to email me or his dad and let us know that he was happily playing. She wasn't only taking care of him, she was taking care of us, too!

Dear Becky, I wanted to offer some feedback on the Learning Adventures courses my daughter has been taking through KinderCare. Because she is younger than the recommended ages for some of the courses, I had some concerns, but you assured me your teachers would monitor her progress and make sure she was not out of her depth and got the most from the classes. Has she ever! We started her with the KinderMusic, and the level you anticipated would be best for her was right on target. She walks around the house making up songs to classical music. I wasn't sure she needed the Phonics classes as she knew her alphabet, but I'm glad I followed your recommendation to start her there. At a little over three years old, she is miles ahead of her peers and is starting to read and sound out words. She uses the Patterns and Graphing learned in the Math courses almost daily, as part of her play. And we have just started Spanish classes. Any parent who is serious about helping his or her child get a head start needs to know about these exceptional options offered by KinderCare. My daughter is bright, and she needs a challenge--a fun challenge. And with your input, feedback, total care, and commitment, we were able to partner and design a program that is fun and challenging. It is allowing her to meet her full potential. I knew from the first day I met you, the teachers and the other administrators at your center, that you had created a space that was committed to the total development of a child. My family is most grateful for this. As my daughter has now learned to say, gracias.
