Kindercare?
Does anyone take their kids to Kindercare? We have a few close to our house and I know all centers are different but I was wondering if you are happy with the level of care your children get there.

Re: Kindercare?
We were with Kindercare for a year. First thing I have to say is that they are a decent daycare but they are so not worth the extra money they cost. The whole corporation is very commercialized and very "black and white". They follow an exact curriculum and nobody seems to be that creative. They do not pay their teachers well at all and as a result they have a lot of turnover. My DD was happy enough there but when we got sick of paying so much money (and it kept going up), we looked for another daycare and the difference was amazing. DD is so loved and this new center and we feel so much more like they are a family to us and she's learned so much and grown so much emotionally in the 15 months she's been at the new center.
I would never go to another Kindercare.
I made it past my goal I nursed for 1 year and 6 weeks! Im so proud of myself!
One of my coworkers takes her kids to Kindercare and loves them.
We looked at the Kindercare near us (not the one my coworker uses) and there was no way in hell we would leave our baby there. The facility was crummy and didn't seem very nice/clean, the kids didn't seem happy, the "outside play area" was a small fenced area about 8 feet by 30 feet (they had just fenced the area between the building and the sidewalk).
