Brier KinderCare

This center is close to our home, which affords our kids less time traveling in the car to their former in-​home childcare. Although we miss some aspects of the in-​home nurturing, our kids were ready for a larger space in which to enjoy table-​top activities, Pre-​K learning, and new friends. Our son is getting an extra boost in letter-​sound awareness with Mr. Kris and he is such a warm and positive male role model for him. The director, Kara, is warm and friendly and makes a point of greeting the kids in the morning, communicating with parents, and generally helping us feel welcome. It’s a diverse group of kids (ethnically, socioeconomically, family makeup, etc) which I really appreciate. We’ve been there a month, and are pretty happy so far. Though I understand the safety and/​or liability with toileting, I think it’s a bit odd that the bathroom door is propped open. Kids use the toilets in a public manner and there is sometimes a whafting scent in the playspace (and right near the food tables!). I would change that if possible.
