KinderCare - Northdale

update on Jan 2023 I dropped my 4 starts to 2 starts since my review from last year. Its entirely your choice but I would avoid this school for VPK. Reasons why1 They have another director for this school year. This is either their 4th or 5th.2 Its January and I found out they have yet to do any AP testing. Thankfully I dont think its that important for her to have for kindergarten but imagine if it was3 I understand the lack of direction without a stable director but what about the assistant director What is she for Is it not her duty to step in when directors cannotAt this point I think this center just needs someone stable dedicated and better communication better management.Ive worked in VPK school and my mother was a VPK teacher and director for years. So I know what a teachers role asst directors role and directors role should be. So the lack of the things I see in this school is beyond mind blowing.Again thankfully the teacher teaches well.end of Jan 2023 updateI received an email asking to please leave an honest review and so I will.Our daughter is attending kindercare at Northdale since the beginning of school year. She has only been going for VPK.I will give you readers the bad bits first.The first few months has been quite frustrating. They switched directors a few times within less than 2 months or so typing this in Dec 2022 in the beginning of the school year. I never asked why I just felt bad for the staff that was present. It seemed like no one knew what they were doing. The lack of communication drove me insane We almost pulled our daughter out of this school. We started to look around for other schools and right when we were about to take her out there were 2 reasons why we didnt. 1 She was already almost 2 months in and I didnt want to do that to her. 2 The VPK teacher Mrs. Maritza is a phenomenal teacher My mom use to teach VPK so her teaching style kind of reminds me of hers. Mrs. Maritza actually teaches and is getting our daughter ready for big kid school. She even gives her homework every Friday. She is very sweet to our daughter.The staff is pretty nice too. The director that has finally been there for more than a few weeks appears to be doing good as well. I pray that next school year things start off better for other parents. I understand that preschool staff are under paid and its hard to find great teachers for VPK not just kind but also one that teaches good.So if you made it this far into my review Mrs Maritza is a great teacher and Im not sure if our daughter would have stayed had it not been for her. If management reads this give her a raise Teachers like her are rare and she deserves it. Our almost 5 year old recognizes and reads a good amount of sight words and her writing skills are improving over time. She is always so happy to see her teacher.Id give 5 stars but because of everything from the beginning of the school year and the lack of communication at the beginning I gave it 4. I will update this review if needed by the end of her school year. If you see no update below this line it means things continued to go well.Update was posted up top since I felt it was important.

Where mistake of replacing my child in the care of tinder care. Teachers are on their phones or just physically not in the rooms with the children. Ive...

These teachers and directors are HORRIBLE at reporting incident reports. Do NOT trust them. Its been multiple times an incident has happened with my children either they DONT report anything or they try to notify through their app which Ive told them COUNTLESS times I do NOT receive anything to notify me ANOTHER way. Still NOTHING.

My kids used to attend here and due to relocating I had to transfer my children out. The worse decision of my life. The director and teachers were extremely helpful when it came to my oldest son who was having trouble adjusting to our new norm. The staff as a whole was amazing almost felt like family.... We will be coming to visit very soon.

Since the day I had to urgently enroll my two little ones into a daycare for the first time ever up until this very moment I have never felt so at peace handing my children off to anyone other than family besides Northdale KinderCare and all of their staff. The director and assistant director Ms. Pam and Ms. Kiomi without hesitation welcomed us like family and the staffteachers did so as well. I will hands down recommend this KinderCare to anyone especially in an urgent situation as I was when I enrolled my babies. Theyve taught nurtured and loved my children since day one and my kids have never left this daycare without expressing how much they love their teachers and Ms. Pam and Ms. Kiomi. My babies have been here since they were 1 and 2 years old they are now 3 and 4 years old and absolutely love going to school thanks to the staff I love you all dearly and would give you all the world if I could for taking us all in as part of the Northdale KinderCare Family

PositiveProfessionalismMy 3 year old loves KinderCare at northdale. He loves Ms. Sarah and Ms. Pam very much. Enjoy playing outdoors and very happy bringing the artwork coloring and his alphabet and number writing to home.

My daughter has been coming here since she was 18 months old and she will be 4 in June. I trust that the Director Ms.Pam and her teacher Ms. Jasmine not only have my daughters best interests at heart but everyone else does as well.She has flourished here. From Academics to social skills and cooperative learning to her speech and self confidence her teacher takes the time with her to develop these skills. They are always available to talk to when we pick her up. I am then able to take what she has learned and continue her education at home. Literally every week she learns something newAnd the love and care they have for our kids is genuine. My daughter LOVES going to school everyday and loves Ms. Jasmine as she has with all of her previous teachers.Make no mistake this is not just a daycare. And I am sincere when I say that my daughters academic future has gotten off on the RIGHT foot because of them and I have no doubt what she is learning now is going help her excel in Primary school.

We love Kindercare. Our daughter has been attending since she was 5 months old and she is now moving into the 1 room. They always are positive and upbeat and provide wonderful care for our daughter. She LOVES going to school meeting new friends and trying new foods having a kitchen in house is awesome. We also like the flexibility as mine and my husbands schedule are very different. So if we need to drop over off a little early or pick her up later they accommodate. This made ahuge difference in choosing Kindercare. I also like that they have a curriculum and bring in new learning opportunities each room. Kindercare came recommended to us by two other families a we have since recommended them.

I absolutely love this school The staff is fantastic My son loves going everyday I couldnt be anymore lucky to have found this school

Weve been taking our kids here since 2014. Im glad that theyre a corporate daycare not a home daycare as I believe more safety checks and regulations...

I cannot say enough about this daycare. The staff here are just amazing. When dropping off in the morning every staff member has a smile on their face and they always make sure to say good morning. They are all great at what they do and I feel good about having to leave my child with them. I am so thankful for all they do. If your looking for a fun safe clean daycare you should definitly go to Kindercare Northdale

The staff is super friendly flexible drop off and pick up times. Fun and educational activities and programs for the kids. The staff truly care for and about the kids

I really like this place. They take excellent care of our children. - Note Not a school just daycare.Recently my son had to go on a special diet...
