West Granite Bay KinderCare

KinderCare Granite Bay is amazing. I moved to the area and was very nervous about transitioning my 2 & 4 yr old into a new school since they were so happy where they were, but the directors and teachers were extremely welcoming and patiently listened to my concerns. I quickly realized I made the right choice… my girls don’t want to leave when I pick them up! The teachers are so patient and enthusiastic it’s really so heartwarming to see… and the school does a really great job providing the kids with a wide variety of activities in addition to feeding them nutritious meals & snacks. They also provide a drop off & pick up bus service for when elementary school starts. I highly recommend them for child care… they really do care!

My wife and i are so grateful to have KinderCare as our child-​care provider. We have been SO IMRESSED WITH ALL OF THEIR STAFF. It is so comforting knowing that we can drop our son off in such a caring and fun environment. My wife is a kindergarten teacher and i have worked in the child-​care field for over 12 years. We have very high standards when it comes to child care and KinderCare has exceeded all of our expectations. We do not look forward to the day that our son will no longer need child-​care. WE LOVE KINDERCARE!!!

Both of my daughters have attended this preschool, my oldest daughter went for about 6 years, my youngest still goes. Great school, with GREAT STAFF. The teachers care about the kids, its great for little ones to learn social skills, great phonics programs to give your kids an early reading edge, and my daughter loved the music man!!! Its on the higher price for child care but worth it…

I have a 3−½ year daughter who has attended this Kindercare for the past year, and a 16 month son who has been attending since 5 months old. My daughter adores all her teachers, who treat her like their own. She looks forward to going to school every day, particularly since the center has themed days. Summer is a ton of fun as the center has water play every week and a variety of activities that nurture her development. As a parent I have the utmost trust in the center, knowing both my children are well cared for.

I only have nice things to say about this KinderCare. I set out about 8 months ago to find a child care/​preschool a couple days a week for my 3-​year-​old. I shopped La Petite in Roseville and this KinderCare, I had planned to also visit Childtime (next door to KinderCare) but after visiting KinderCare I knew I wanted to send my child there.
To compare visits, when I went to La Petite even though I made an appointment, the center director acted like she was surprised to see me asked what my name was and then explained she said she couldn’t shake my hand because she just put lotion on. Not a terrible, but less than impressive greeting. La Petite was nice, it was smaller and the more I spoke with the director the more underwhelmed I became. The woman just didn’t seem very personable. She pointed out a few things about the different activities, it was the start of their summer program and they did have some fun things planned for the kids which I liked. She didn’t have a whole lot of information to share and just looked at me and asked if I had any questions.
I drove from there to KinderCare and my Initial experience was like night and day. I also met with one of the center directors and after knocking at the front I was greeted with a smile, handshake and, «Karin right?», she was friendly, full of information, and answered my questions honestly. You could tell she was happy to be working there and I appreciated not feeling bs’d.
After being at KinderCare for about 8 months I see the same consistency as I did at the initial visit. The staff and directors are all friendly and seem genuinely happy to be there. My child got a good bump on the head when she fell on the play ground and one of the directors called me right away to let me know.
There summer program had tons of fun activities for my child. Now that it is fall every friday they have a fun theme like, crazy hair day or mismatch day, including different fun activities during the week. I love my child’s teacher and I get a ton of art that they do in class and a daily report as to if and what she had for lunch and if she napped.
As far as the price comparison, KinderCare is a bit more, not by a lot. I think most parents would agree, of all the places I’m going to look for a bargain, the people caring for my children is not one.
