Jacklin Commons KinderCare

This daycare facility hires low quality «teachers». They don’t even qualify to be called babysitter in my opinion. Top notch pricing for Milpitas area, but dated facility and low quality nanny. My husband and I were first time parents and we naively thought the most expensive schools would provide the best care, sadly that’s not the case. I pulled my then eighteen month old child out of the class on the second day after witnessing how badly she was treated and ignored by one of the toddler teacher. That was her very first daycare experience, and this place completely ruined it!!! My child is now happily enrolled in another qualified and loving preschool. Advice to parents– don’t trust that your kids are in good hands simply because the facility seem to run by «qualified» directors. The director then was Ida. Looks like this place has changed director recently according to other Unilocal reviews. Still you don’t know what the teachers do behind those closed doors. Pay surprised visits, you may be glad to find out sooner or be sorry later!!! I reported my child’s mistreatment incident to the director. She apologized and said will investigate the incident. I doubt that they disciplined the worker.

Our little one has been going to this KinderCare since July. He started when he was 18 months and was previously watched by our good friend who moved away. I was really nervous about sending my toddler to daycare but I knew it would really give him structure which he really needs.
Danielle and Manisha showed my husband and I around. It was a nice, clean, and well lit room for our 18 month old. We started our son and it took him about a week to adjust to the schedule. We were concern he wouldn’t nap during the assign time but he adjust really quickly! His teacher is Isabella and we just enjoy her so much. After two weeks our son had learn so much! He learn how to count, sound out letters, and has learn so many words since starting.
My favorite thing is the artwork. I now have a nice collection of artwork he has done with his teachers. They do finger painting to foot prints. I also enjoy that I don’t have to provide food everyday and makes it easier on me and my husband to not have to think about it. hahahahaha.
I really enjoy this kindercare and recommend it to any parent!

We put DD here for over 3 months now. So regret not enrolling her sooner. It is $$$…in the same price level of Montessori centers. We did not choose Montessori for many reasons of which I won’t say. It’s a personal preference.
Staff here are super nice and caring. Ms Christine is DD’s favorite teacher. She genuinely cares and loves the kids. DD’s first month was tough. Transition was hard for her. But the staff was loving and did everything they could to comfort her.
Facility is clean and organized. Safety plan is well thought out. There are policies in place for everything
This is a semi structured, play-​based NAEYC accredited program.

My little one has been going to this center for two years, and so far, so good. It’s not one of the closest daycares/​preschools from my place, but I chose this center over others for many reasons including the following:
The center chair has been recently changed. My husband and I were sorry to see the former director, Ida, go, but we also like that the new chair is not someone from outside. The new chair is Denielle, who formerly served as a vice-​chair, is a reliable and friendly person, as far as I know, and maintains the place well.
The teachers we met in the 2– and 3 year-​old programs are great. They really seem to care about the kids and they are always very warm, friendly, and approachable. What I care most about daycares and preschools is the safe and clean environment and the warm, cheery, and vibrant feelings the teaching staff create, which are contagious and affect your children a lot. I also like how the kids are well mannered and trained by the teachers. My kid never had any issue with other kids in her classroom like biting, bullying, etc. or had any accidents. Most of the parents are very polite and nice, and we never met any rude people around the center.
The facilities of this center are okay – safe, always clean, and well-​maintained. The classrooms are spacious, and the playgrounds are not that big or fancy but are safe – each is separated from the other – and well-​maintained. They are not the best, but are better than most of other centers in that area. The neighborhood of this center is also nice.
I love the (annua?l) scholastic book fair held at the center and other festive events the families can attend. I also like that breakfast and lunch (as well as afternoon snack) are included in the tuition. I wish though they provided more fresh and healthy food than processed food. I also wish the center provided a wider selection of (fun) extracurricula activities.
I’ve toured a dozen of daycares and preschools in the area (Milpitas, San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale), and I realized there were not many decent schools out there for little kids. This is one of the few that I can truly recommend.

We are having a great experience at this Kindercare directed by Ida. Our two year-​old toddler is learning letters, numbers, and colors while almost potty-​trained. The preschool is always kept sanitized and clean. The teachers are caring and experienced. I would definitely recommend this preschool!

I had toured another Kindercare facility the other day (see that review for information on Kindercare as a business in general) and wanted to visit this one for its location. My husband works nearby and this would be an easier commute for us.
Dawn was a joy to meet with, and being a mother of three herself, she gave me a lot of insight as to how the facility operated. Her daughter goes there as well, and to me that’s extra points. Any parent who would send their child to where they work speaks above and beyond the program.
In order to access the building, you either have to have a code or ring the doorbell. Nice peace of mind there. Each age group has their own classroom and outdoor area. Cleanliness and sanitation is stressed here, especially in the infant room where plastic booties are required. Gotta keep those precious angels with good health!
Like the other review of a Kindercare facility, this one accepts government subsidies, provides transportation to/​from local schools for grades 1 – 7, and offers private kindergarten.
