KinderCare

Do not take your child to the Kindercare in West Schaumburg, IL off of Bode road! The teachers can not handle the amount of kids in their classes. They had to bring in "assistants" that look like they have no idea what they are doing. The center director is apparently highly educated and trained in special needs and kids with behavioral problems yet she can't handle a 3yearold! Her "method" of a solution is sending a child home when they misbehave. She taught my child if he misbehaves he gets to go home! Instead of fixing the issue she used her "education" to actually give my child issues then accused his home life to be the problem. The center director needs to be fired and never allowed to work with children again!

Don't ignore the negative reviews. Take time to notice the reviews from recent are not good. I first toured this place a year ago & it was different than that it is now. My daughter had her first day at THIS facility March 19th. The day prior they had 4 call offs within this small facility & asked parents to volunteer, which made me feel uneasy. You might have your child's teacher watching them or you may have a stranger you never met caring for your child. She became sick from her first day and this is not her first time in an environment like this or around other kids. When I went to pick her up, the room smelled terrible. There are windows in the hallway outside each classroom & as I'm walking down the hall way, I see this child getting toileted in the middle of the classroom in plain sight & all the other kids running around. For dignity, they place a large outdoor garbage can next to your child on the potty & dispose of the diapers in that same garbage can. Disgusting. I also witnessed that they do not wipe down the surfaces after changing your child from one to another… no wonder she got sick that fast. I had to bathe her as soon as we got home because of the facilities foul odor in her hair & on her clothes. Tuition for 2 days/week is $122/day. Even if your child doesn't attend you still have to pay. There is a review from 5 months ago that mentions if they have to shut down the facility due to their lack of ability to keep a staffed facility they will discount your child's tuition a whopping $10 for the day due to the inconvenience. I didn't want to send my daughter today because she is sick due to being at their facility for ONE day & I still have to pay for 2 weeks even though I unenrolled her. If you want comparable care for your child just drop your child off at a local Chuck E. Cheese… it may even be cleaner and at least there will be privacy when they have to use the bathroom.

I have used 3 daycare centers since my baby was 2 years old and the first two were just horrible. I almost decided to stay home and quit my job because I couldn't find anyone I could trust. My friend suggested kindercare because at least those centers have to pass certain guidelines to be a part of kindercare. I decided to try them before I gave up on the entire daycare concept and I couldn't have been happier. I know every center is independently run, but our center is run by a great woman and I would recommend anyone who is looking for a daycare to at least check out their local kindercare.
