Higgins Ranch KinderCare

My daughter has been having issues with the boy who can’t keep his hands to himself or his tongue in his mouth and when I presented the problem to the school they said because they have too many kids to watch so that there’s nothing that they can do about it. Wow, my advice pick another school my 13 year old sister can do a better job watching my daughter!!!

This is the first place I decided to bring my kids for daycare. The place is very clean and the staff is friendly. I started my kids in the summer time, 3 half days /​week. The summer program was a lot of fun for them. In the fall we started my boy full time in the preschool and my daughter 3 full days a week. Ran us about $ 1500/​month with snacks and lunch included.
We decided to send our son here for the private kindergarten. It was good for us because they followed the traditional school year calendar. Eastvale schools are year-​round. My daughter transitioned to full time. It was around $ 1800/​month for both of them. You get a discount for siblings. We ended up bringing them here for about 2.5 years and moved on to a different private school because my boy needed to attend 1^st grade. I could have kept my daughter there but it was not as convenient.
They are open from 6am-​6pm. Ms. Jennifer was the director at the time and she was great. Always helpful and available to meet with parents. I loved the way the teachers cared for our children. Ms. Griselda was one of the best teachers they had. I greatly appreciated her being there for my children. There were several others that were great as well like Ms, Eva (she left for another position), Ms. Becky (who was let go for some mysterious reason), Ms. April, and Ms. Jessica. If I forgot to list your name I apologize.
The reason I gave four stars is because of the turnover rate for staff. One day a teacher who has been there for a while working with your child is replaced by another person. I understand that things happen and people move on.
If I had to do it all over again I would not hesitate. It was one of the best decisions we ever made for the care and well being of our children. Check it out. They do have additional classes for the kids at an additional charge: cooking, music, phonics. My kids liked the classes.

This Kindercare is like my family. My 3 and 1 year old have been coming here since they were infants. Any issue that I’ve ever had has always been addressed promptly and they have made me very comfortable leaving my girls in their care. Ms. Gloria is heaven on earth. My girls adore her. Ms. Clara, Ms. Mary, Ms. Esther, Ms. Kirstie, Ms. Krissy, Ms. Delesia, Ms. Caryn, Ms. Donna, Ms. Blaine and Mr. Thomas are all the reason I am able to come to work and know that my girls are good. Ms. Jennifer is very down to earth and is always there when I need her. Sometimes I call with silly questions and just to check on the girls and I always hang up satisfied. Last year everyone came together to support me and my family during a very traumatic time and that’s when I knew the people at Kindercare are like family and I recommend them to anyone.

My son has been there for two years, he likes the teachers in Kindercare, now he is going to kindergarten, and I will still choose Kindercare for after school.

My 10 year old daughter has attended for the past 3 years. The teachers and staff are warm and caring individuals. I never worry about my daughter being dropped off or being picked up from school on time. It is a safe, caring, and supportive learning environment.

Great staff and very clean facility! My daughter has been coming here for five years and she loves it here. My infant son just started coming here as well back in May and the teachers take really good care of him. They are very attentive to his needs.
Overall, we are very satisfied with this center. They have great summer activities and field trips planned in the summers. It’s not all fun and games though, as they also focus on academics and make sure time is put aside for homework and learning.
I highly recommend this center!

My son (almost 3 yo) has been attending this preschool for about a month. All the teachers and staff members here are so friendly, attentive and nurturing that he is now saying, «I love to go to school every day!» :) the whole school is full of positive energy and warm smiles. Love it! I had visited more than 10 child care facilities in the area when choosing a preschool for my son. Higgins Ranch KinderCare is hands down the best!

This KinderCare is wonderful my 3 year old son gose there and he has learn so much. There wonderful teachers I’m so happy with everything.

My 8yo and 4yo have been at this Kindercare for nearly 4 years. We love the staff and the variety of activities they provide. Both kids have participated in the phonics program and have learned so much. The summer program is amazing. The only thing I haven’t been happy with is some of the teacher turnover in the Pre-​K class. But overall we’re very happy with our experience at this center.

I have an almost 4 yr old & (been going since 14 months old) & a 1 yr old (going since 4 months old) in this center. I love the teachers here, especially Miss Kristie (3s teacher) & Ms Clara (infants). I know that my kids are not only going to be taught but also loved and taken care of. I recommend them to anyone looking.
The one issue I have is that I wish there was more protein in the menu.

When I was looking for a day care for my daughter, I went to a dozen. Higgins ranch is my final choice.
I made this decision based on the following reasons
1.They have nice teachers.
2. The place is beautiful and clean.
3. It is close to my house.
4. Their open door policy allows me to come any time I want to see my daughter.
My daughter used to spent most of the time with me at home. But it only took her 3 days ago to adjust. I bet that counts something. Now she loves her Miss Clara. There are a few things they did I think it’s very sweet of them to do so. Here are some pics to show you. Hope this could help you to make the right choice for your baby. Good luck!:)

We are sad to say that we don’t attend here anymore after we moved but my daughter started here at 3 months old and we left last year as she was turning 3. Everyone was amazing!!! We were freaking out because our original child care arrangements fell through right before I was supposed to go back to work. We toured several facilities before coming here and hands down, this place was the best. The staff is caring and Jennifer, the director, was very helpful. My daughter was always sick (started before attending here and not just exposure to other kids in daycare) and they were very accommodating while she was seeing specialists to figure out her issue. She broke her arm and they gave her extra TLC while she was casted. I can’t recommend them enough. I can’t worry about my child all day in my line of work so I was glad to find them and know that she was receiving the very best care possible.

Kindercare is a nice place to be. My son has enjoyed before/​after care and the summer camp program. All the teachers are nice and great with the kids. My son would cry when he had to miss a day… lol. He has made lots of friends at kindercare.

Our 4yo and 2yo have been at Higgins Ranch Kindercare for more than 6 months now. It was a tough decision to send them to school, no one wants their babies to grow up, but looking back and after much research, we could not have made a better choice of schools.
Our kids have learned so much and have made many great friends. Our initial fears and unease with letting go were greatly allayed by the very professional and caring staff and by our kids who are eager almost everyday to go to school. My kids would be there on the weekends too if they could.
The kids have learned to socialize, pretend and have brought home many songs to sing and art to adorn our walls. The building is alive with energy and each of the many areas are spacious. We also may take advantage of the Kindercare buses to/​from school once the kids attend our local elementary school.
We never worry about our kids during the day, knowing they are in capable and loving hands. Seeing our babies grow and thrive affirms that we made the best choice in Higgins Ranch. Great people, value, location/​grounds.

My son has been attending the infant room since he was 6 months old. He love his teachers and all the friends he has made. I get to see him learn and grow each day, and hit all of his milestones. I couldn’t think of a better place for my son!

Not sure why all the teachers, the site director and the assistant site director park in all the spots where we drop our kids off and pick them up EVERY DAY but they do. Very frustrating when dropping off kids and unloading their bags, etc. to have to park so far away yet watch all the employees go to and from their cars with nothing in their hands (except Starbucks). Very rude and makes me wonder whose needs actually come first when us parents aren’t around– the kids or themselves. Especially since it has been brought to their attention.

High Student ratio. Constant rotating of teachers. My son learned way too many bad habits here that I’m still trying to erase out of his system.

this is the most horrible kindergarten I’ve ever seen. My 2-​year old daughter went there for just one week, then got a fever of 104 °F. Well, I don’t want to blame the kinder care for the fever although the doctor said my caught may get the fever from the kindergarten. The thing is, my daughter only went there on Monday for the second week, because of the fever, so I called Kindercare on Tuesday morning and they didn’t ask anything about my daughter’s illness, but just told me I would be charged for the rest of the week, even though my daughter was there only for one day, because they need to keep the spot for my daughter. But they said I can only be reimbursed if my daughter didn’t go there for a whole week. t thought that was fine. So I paid 225 for that one day in kindergarten.
My daughter didn’t get better throughout the week, so next Monday morning, I called them again and told them she would not go to the kindergarten for the whole week. They said she would be charged for this whole week as well. I asked why you guys told me i wouldn’t be charged if my daughter doesn’t come for a whole week, the girl said she needs to charge me and that’s part of the contract. I asked what you guys would do for my daughter during this whole week to charge another 225 while she is not there, she said she needs to follow the contract and I should read the contract before I sign it. Then I told her: cancel the contract.
So my daughter went to this horrible place for 6 days, and I paid almost $ 600, including two weeks tuition and registration fee of $ 100. What I got back is 7 days high fever of 104 °F, two doctor visits and one emergency room visit.
Again, I don’t want to blame them for the fever, but I don’t know if they wash my daughter’s hands before eating, since they only have one teacher in the morning and another teacher in the afternoon for 10 kids, I don’t know if one teach is enough to take care of 10 kids at the same time. What I’m really unhappy with this place is that they should at least say sorry when I told them my daughter got a high fever, not just talking about money, money and money.

this school is awsome… the teachers are great the staff is great and the children are so behaved. they do a really good job with keeping the kids focused and motivated i loved that they give a free day for new comers to see how they work with others and it was helpful and nice to see how my daughter would be with others. thank you so much kindercare.
