Wildflower Lane KinderCare

My son currently goes here and is in the infant room. We switched here when he was a little older from another daycare, so he was used to his old way of doing things. The teachers have been great with him and his transition here went wonderfully. I couldn’t ask for better results and was surprised he did so well. When I check in on him he is always playing and having a good time.
We are very happy with the teachers here. I am glad I chose this daycare as its really the people that make the difference.

The misinformation and negativity on these review sites by various reviewers blows my mind sometimes.
This is the only daycare my daughter and son have been to in their entire lives. My daughter is 6 and my son is 4. The teachers at this KinderCare have taken care of them since they were about 6 – 8 weeks old and have done a great job. My kids love going here and look forward to going, and they are always in a good mood when I pick them up. The educational opportunities here are really great. Both my kids went through the phonics program which helped tremendously. They have done the cooking classes, the science classes, the music classes. There are so many. My kids have had a very stable group of teachers to work with at the facility.
One thing that is so great is the public school bus at the nearby elementary school picks up and drops off at this KinderCare. Talk about convenient. And it is nice that my daughter rides the same school bus as the rest of the kids.
The directors of this center have a tough job dealing with emotional parents and parents that are slow to pay their tuition for which they have to continually follow up with.
We visited 4 – 5 daycare facilities before settling on this one. We also tried a nanny for a month before deciding that wasn’t a fit for us.
HANDS DOWN we are very happy we chose this KinderCare for our kids. Not all daycare centers are built the same, and this one is special with great people in it that will take good care of your child.

I transferred my 2-​year-​old son to this location from another KinderCare because it was closer to my office and stays open until 6:30PM, latest in the area.
Of course, I visited the center before making the arrangement. The first impression of the center was good; building was new and clean, there are a lots of big windows, and well kept fenced back yard separated for different age group. However, there was 1 small thing that stuck in my mind like a tiny fish bone in the throat, which was the director who gave me the tour. She was not so welcoming when I went there for a tour with appointment. Actually, I waited for a long time to get to see a person (there was no one at the front desk and it was very hard to find a door bell to call someone in a class room) even though I made an appointment and even called her in the morning for direction. But that is fine, maybe she was busy when I went there, maybe… Her appearance and hairdo reminds me of 70’s, which is totally fine and should be up to her unless it scares children. Maybe not the best choice of style for a person in daycare business, though. Anyway, there was no possibility that she was going to be a teacher of my son. And I thought that this was a teeny-​tiny thing and it was more like a matter of preference and it has nothing to do with my son’s early education. So, I decided this location for my son’s new daycare.
However, I found that my intuition was right later on. My son was a typical 2 year old boy and sometimes caused trouble, like hitting or biting his friends. I am not saying that it is ok but kids are learning how to deal with their emotions and other people day by day. And his dad and I spent a lot of time talking about it but who can expect 2 year old to change his behavior in next week. Also, his teachers were great and they seem to have guided him very good. He understood that what he did was wrong. And I am very thankful for those teachers.
However, he had not completely mastered a emotional control and sadly the second biting incident happens. Then, my husband got a call from the Director warning that my son will be expelled if this continues. Since then, they started writing a report of every single small fight occurred in a day. He was 2 year old for God’s sake and I was not so surprised if he got into a fight over a toy or something. And they started calling my office when he got into a fight even without any harm done EVERY SINGLE TIME. I am still not sure what they wanted ME to do. Quit a job, come and get him to chill out? But, they just reported, and then hung up. Also, they called me at work when his classmate bit or hit him, and of course, it is not a life threatening. Maybe it could be their protocol for a biter kid? But I do not need to get a call for such a daily stuff. I know well how typical 2-​year-​old behaves.
However, this was not the worst. The worst thing is that my son started telling me, «Miss. D (the Director) talked to me» with a terrified face over and over again. He was instructed by his teachers so many times (I know because of the reports and telephone calls). But he showed his fear toward the Director only. That was hurt. Very hurt. I felt very sorry to my son for being ignorant and choosing a place where he spends 8 to 10 hour a day so easily because it looks beautiful and convenient for me. We transferred him to another daycare as soon as possible with FULL research and interviews. He is doing fine, and I receive a phone call when he gets fever so he needs to go home or when he needs to take some allergy pills for permission. He bit twice his friend at new place but there are more than 6 month since the second biting incident. He started using words, not his mouth or hands. And I am proud of him.
If I describe my intuition or question I got on the very first day over there, it would be «Does this person love children?».
And stupidly I did not realize it until that time.
If your child is quiet and listens very well, this center would be fine.

My 15 month old daughter just completed one month in Kindercare, Wildflower Lane, and overall, I am pretty much satisfied. Part of the credit goes to some of the great teachers in the Infant room, and part of the credit goes to my li’l one who is friendly and takes to a new place quickly. The rooms are nice and airy, there are separate cribs for every infant. the teacher to student ratio in the infant room is 1:4, and there are usually two teachers in the room at a time. Miss Almus, Miss Aleyna and Miss Marjan are my daughter’s favorites. I have been to the other Infant room and the two Indian teachers there are very good too. The tuition is very high, though they run specials from time to time, so you can look out for those. There are lots and lots of toys and books and puppets. In addition to the regular menu, the infant classroom provides jarred baby food, fresh banana, yogurt, whole milk, cereals and crackers. Lunch is mostly pasta, pizza etc. with veggies and fruits. The teachers are always very busy attending to every infant’s individual schedule, and yet find time to play with, cuddle or rock a child to sleep. If your baby is still taking formula or breastmilk, you are required to prepare the bottles and store them in their fridge. Overall, very hygienic, and stimulating environment for the little ones. My daughter enjoys the buggy rides in the playground when the weather is good. The only thing that bothered me was the way they sometimes move some of the babies from one classroom to another to maintain the student teacher ratio. This usually happens early morning or late evenings when number of students and teachers is less. But they always, always maintain the promised ratio of 1:4. They pay a lot of attention to new babies who are having a tough time adjusting, and help them in every way they can. Double thumbs up to the teachers for this!
