We love taking and picking up our grandson here. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a smile. Upon coming into the hall to his room. Everyone knows his name and greets him. His classroom you can just see and feel how much they care for him.
They have been very kind to my son who is single and raising his son.
If you are looking for a place that has lots of fun activities and pictures of your little ones through the day! This is your place.

I love this daycare because it's beyond care for your child, it's a learning center. As a parent, it's reassuring to know what your child is doing at all times. Having an app that tracks eating, sleeping, diapers, and activities puts my mind at ease. I see a tremendous amount of growth in my child from being there. For example she has picked up on basic sign language to communicate what she wants with her mother and I. The activites in each room she has been in are always so fun for the age but also challenging her at her level. Also she's well ahead of schedule in potty training because they expose the kids to the potty in the Toddler room. They make experiences for the kids there that they won't forget, as well as always making events for families to come and enjoy with them. I will always recommend this daycare to anyone!

Absolutely love Candlewood KinderCare. They are so friendly, every teacher knows my daughter by name (or nickname) and greets us as we come and go for the day. So far we have been in the infant rooms and my daughter receives great care. They pay attention to details and communicate very well and are flexible to our requests. It is evident that the teachers love what they do. Happy to know my daughter is already being taught ASL and Spanish as she is learning to communicate. Very little turn over in our time there.

I LOVE CANDLEWOOD KINDERCARE !!!! We started at the center during covid, during that time it was so hard to find a daycare. I knew it was the place for us when they had us come in for a in person walk through. The staff is nothing short of amazing, I can go to work everyday knowing that he will be taken care of. The app that kindercare has is nice, I can check on my son with out having to make a phone call and interrupt anything they have going on. Another thing that I love is the level of communication that they have, everythime that I have had to talk with someone or had any concerns they were always addressed. Entering the center you can tell that everyone there enjoys what they do and are happy to be there. Lastly the summer activities are so good, they had a petting zoo come out my son talked about it for days.

Our family absolutely loves this place! Our child has benefitted immensely from the curriculum and awesome staff. The communication from staff and the continuing opportunities for parents/families to get involved through events is a welcome change from experiences with other child care centers!

My son has been attending Candlewood KinderCare for about half a year now & I am very satisfied with the pre-k & preschool program and all the directors & teachers. They have taken extra steps to ensure the safety of all families during the COVID-19 pandemic from temperature checks, change to the cleaning procedure & requiring masks (when age appropriate). The staff are trained in a professional manner & go above and beyond daily- it’s easy to tell they are passionate about what they do. They really get to know each child & treat them as unique individuals & take time to understand my concerns as a parent. When I pick up my son from school he is always happy & excited to tell me all about his day. The communication is great, if parental contact is necessary they inform you in an appropriate manner either via app message or phone call (if emergency). I appreciate the mindfulness of the staff and grateful to finally find a place where both my son and I love & his needs are met at the end of the day. I can work and do so contently knowing my son is in good hands. A wonderful learning environment that is safe.

KinderCare has been a great place for us. My son has been going here since he was 1.5 and will be turning 3 in about a month. I was a stay at home mom prior to sending him to daycare and was very nervous. The transition couldn't have been any more smooth. The teachers and directors were always very accommodating and went above and beyond to communicate with this nervous mama. My son soon fell in love with his teachers and rapidly learned so many things! He quickly grew to love KinderCare as his home away from home.

After we had been here for a year (so about 5 months ago) there was a large staff turnover. My husband and I were very anxious to see how this would effect our kiddo as he had grown very attached to all of his teachers. I'll admit, there was a rough transition time of about 6 weeks, but once the new teachers settled in things got back to being a smooth operation. Since then we have noticed the level of education that our son is getting has improved drastically and we are very excited to see everything that he learns everyday! He isn't
even three yet and can recognize a hexagon!

The center director is fantastic and very easy to communicate with. I came to her with a specific concern that I wasn't exactly sure how to address (a few of the other kids seemed to intimidate my son and I could tell he was stressed out at drop-off since the teacher transition) and it was remedied right away. I could tell that the teachers worked with my son on building his confidence and communicating when he may have some feelings of uncertainty or wanting space. I am constantly impressed with KinderCare and would reccomend it to anyone.

Extra bonus - they have an app now that updates throughout the day with potty times, meals, activity photos, etc. Its been a nice addition!!
