Kennydale KinderCare

Our baby has been enrolled at the Kennydale KinderCrae since she was three months old, it is with great sadness that we have to move her from this location.
Lanette and her staff have been consistently great to our child and as such getting her to go to «School» has never really been an issue, there are even times when she does not want to leave.
I’m not a huge review writer but I did want to leave a kind note to those who have helped raise my child for the past 15 months.

Our babies have been enrolled with Kennydale Kindercare since they were 4 months old and our oldest is now 3.5 years old. The teachers and staff are an extension of our family. Our children are able to thrive with routine and strong academic emphasis while the staff and teachers provide a balanced environment where children can be children. With ample options of childcare facilities, we picked Kennydale Kindercare because the student to teacher ratio will prepare our children for kindergarten and future academics. The center continues to make the experience more enriching through music, dance, art, science, and our favorite — the horticulture and cooking programs. We strongly recommend this center for parents looking to foster their children’s growth in all aspects of life: physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and language.

My twins were enrolled at Kennydale KinderCare from 12 weeks of age until they were 18-​months old (their last day was earlier this month). The only reason they are no longer enrolled is because our family moved out of the area. I would 100% recommend this center for childcare. My husband and I toured a number of facilities (in Bellevue, Factoria, and Renton) and we chose this center primarily due to the proximity to our home, ease for our commutes (location immediately off of I-​405), and tuition costs. We toured the center before the twins started and really appreciated the time that the teachers and staff took to answer our questions and show us around. Their tuition fees were in-​line with others in the area and as a bonus, they accepted the GSA subsidy (available to military families).
During the time that our children were enrolled there, the staff and teachers became a second family to us. I always knew that they would take great care of the twins, whether it be to spark their development, foster their education, or attend to any health concerns. As first-​time parents, we often relied on advice given to us by the teachers in the Infant and Toddler rooms. And with my husband gone for an overseas deployment for almost a year, I probably relied more heavily on those teachers than other families.
The twins were always happy when I dropped them off and picked them up. The teachers and administrative staff always shared with me all the fun things that they did and I always felt that the lines of communication were open. The staff sends out emails that describe curriculum and other events/​activities and they will also share photos with you of the children at school (if you opt in). One of my twins had some medical problems his first year and the teachers and staff all kept a watchful eye on him and would call me to keep me updated if they had any concerns.
We have currently enrolled the twins in a new daycare center in the DC area and tuition costs are much higher and the quality of care hasn’t matched the level we were receiving with Kennydale Kindercare. We wish we could have moved the center with us! We miss the teachers a lot!

I honestly couldn’t find a better place to take my daughter every day. We absolutely love the teachers — they all get to know all of the kids, not just the ones in their class, so that when the kids transition into different classrooms they are already comfortable with their new teacher. The teachers have all loved our daughter like she’s their own, and are genuinely happy to see her every day when we drop her off. I can tell by my daughter’s face and reaction to them that she is really happy being there, and it’s an amazing place to learn. She is 18 months and comes home having learned new things every week. They do art on a regular basis, encourage playing outside, and make sure kids are very loved, but learn independence and playing/​sharing with others as well. Highly, highly recommend this center — I had a hard time at the thought of dropping her off at daycare when we first started, but they have definitely put my mind at ease. They are absolutely great there.

I cant say enough about Kennydale KinderCare! I have taken my kiddos here for years. Currently I have my 5 year in the centers private kindergarten. We just received results from a recent statewide test and our son was is in the 90^th percentile for his age. I honestly owe the applaud to the center for their teachings to our children. Its worth every dime we spend.
Some have said (recently) the center is expensive, but frankly aren’t our children priceless? I think yes. I pay our tuition weekly so as to never get behind and have an overwhelming owed debt.
The teachers and staffs top priority is the children’s safety, health, education and a hug when needed :-)

I can not in good conscience recommend this place the teacher to student ratio makes for poor care, they only care about money; not the family.
