Via Verde KinderCare

My Daughter started here at 1 with Ms. Elena and is now 3 and still attending.
Ms. Elena is amazing with infants and my daughter has been happy there all this time. She loves Miss Lisa.
The Director and Assistant director are approachable and helpful. They have worked with us through the years and my crazy ever changing schedule. I would highly recommend them and have done so with my friends.

I walk in today with out an appointment. Christi the Center Director was very Welcoming. She took her time to show me the learning center. What stands out is there is alot of help in the center. All the kids are being paid attention too. And its Organized… The out door play area has a tent up to shield the kids from the sun. The center is very clean. Christi had genuine interes in my daughter. This kinder is definitely on the top of the list. :-)

My daughter who is 11 now went there when she was 2 years old until she started Kindergarten. Ms. Elaine (her preschool teacher) is WONDERFUL! So when it was time for me to go back to work after I had my son there was no other place I wanted or trusted to leave him. When I walked in with my daughter to register my son, my daughter asked me if she thought Ms. Elaine would remember her and I said I didn’t think so. Well when Jordan walked over to her she said «Hello Jordan I haven’t seen you in forever!» My daughter felt so excited that she remembered her, I almost started crying, it was like no time had passed at all.
Ms. Elena (the morning infant teacher) has been wonderful. So patient and understanding of how difficult it is for me to leave him. Mu son’s been going there since he was 4 months old (he’s almost 1 now) and he loves all the teachers and they love him. You can tell all the teachers love their kids and vice versa.
Ms. Christy (the Director) is very attentive to parents needs and concerns and Ms. Nicole (the Assistant Director) is so sweet and wonderful! I feel like everyone there is my second family! I HIGHLY recommend this center!

My son and daughter started in Nov 2014 since I needed a daycare closer to home. I couldn’t be happier because my son loved Ms. Elena (infant teacher). She is the best, always on top of things and all of the kids love her. Even the older kids stop by to hug her before they leave, she is that amazing! He just moved to the toddler class but still gets to visit her. As for the other teachers, my daughter went through several teachers due to staffing issues, but she loves Ms. Alicia from the learning adventures program. She has learned so much from her and is sad when she is sick and unable to go to her class. She looks forward to her class and can’t wait to show me what she learned that day! I love that she is so excited to learn… that makes a great teacher spectacular!

My son has been attending this crnter since October 2014 and he absolutely loves it! All the teachers are very professional and dedicated to the kids. They have an outstanding curriculum for any childs age. The center is very clean and organized. They have helped in the potty training and my childs vocabulary has drastically improved. The director is one of the friendliest people I have ever met, and my son won’t leave without giving her a hug. They are flexible to work with my work schedule changes, they have healthy meals created by physicians that will also help your child try new foods. They have wonderful activities and projects all year round. we interviewed 8 other centers in the area before choosing this one and hands down this was the best choice. Check them out you and your child will love it too.

My son is in the 2s class and we love this place. Really good kids in his class they have good ratios (child-​teacher) and the place smells great. They accommodate my son with his special diet and cook special foods for him. Ms Christie is amazing and has an open door policy whenever an issue should arise. I recommend this childcare to anyone who is seeking a safe location for their child.

My daughter has been attending Via Verde KinderCare for three years (infant to Pre-​K class). I am glad that I have chosen this school for our daughter’s early childhood education. We enroll our daughter here because it appears this center is the cleanest and safest among others in the neighborhood. The meals and snacks served are nutritious, and the curriculum and activities are well-​designed. In addition, the outdoor playground is the best compared to other preschools in my area. My daughter loves her teachers as they are caring and patient. She also enjoys the «learning adventure» program and looks forward to her weekly cooking and dancing classes.

Best pre school in the area!!! Teachers and staff are top notch!!! Miss Elaine and Miss Christi are the absolute best!!! Thank you guys so much for giving my son the best possible preparation for his academic career!!!

They have a great and wonderful staff. After comparing other daycares with Kindercare, I can say without any doubt that they go far and beyond when taking care and teaching children. Everyday, they do a great job in documenting my child’s activities, what she eats, her behavior… they have been a blessing to our family since both my wife and I have full time careers. Thank you Kindercare.

My son has been attending Via Verde kindercare since November and he loves it! All of the teachers and staff have been great and very caring. They have worked around my sometimes unpredictable schedule and have accommodated our needs very well. My son has done great and has learned and adapted very well. As a Spanish speaking parent I am impressed by how much English he has learned through his daycare experience. I feel extremely comfortable leaving my 2 year old son here, knowing that he is cared for and loved. I interviewed most of the San Dimas area daycares and felt most comfortable here, and I remain confident that I made the best decision.

My first experience with this KinderCare was amazing. My oldest (3yr) started when he was 6months old. I was so nervous and didn’t know what to expect. Ms. Tracy the morning infant teacher made me feel at ease. Then I met the afternoon teacher Ms. Elena. Both of these teachers made it so I never had to worry about my child. I never forgot how well my child was cared for. When I had my second little boy, it was no thought as to where he would go for childcare. Ms Tracey and Ms. Elena are still working there and did an amazing job with my little baby. He started at 6weeks old and now at three months he is a happy lil guy. I would recommend this KinderCare to any mom. I love the staff and that my boys are loved.

I had a terrible experience when I went to this Kindercare. To start off with, the woman who took my check from me the first day (later on said that I never gave her a check) said that she looked through my file earlier and I had all the paperwork completed. Thing is: I know that I didn’t finish everything or give her my doctor’s information, but she insisted — which set off the first warning flag, but she was saying that she was «super busy» and a little disorganized (to set the scene: there were piles of paper everywhere and just junk laying around — I am not sure how she knew where anything else). The woman who was showing me where to put my son’s stuff on the first day was going over the rules — she said that they have guidelines, but they do not follow them strictly unless there is someone high up coming to inspect or visit the site (for example, she said that they are not allowed to have kids sleeping on the floor, but there was a little girl sleeping in the middle of the floor — she said she was going to just let her sleep there… which I totally understand — but it’s weird that they don’t follow their own rules…). At the time, I thought… well — okay, I understand where they are coming from, they want to make sure all the kids are comfortable. THEN two days later, my husband went to drop my son off and one of the woman couldn’t come open the door for him because she was YELLING at a baby that was in my son’s class for crying. If that wasn’t enough, my son came down with a horrible virus and now that I think back every kid had a runny nose. While I understand kids get sick, it was irresponsible of the center not to let me know that there was someone with a virus that made my son had a fever of over 100 degrees for a week… it was horrible. Especially since it was the first time my son was ever that sick! So obviously — I took him out. Then about 1 month later I got a call from someone named Jessica saying that I still owed them money. I told her that I paid and I wasn’t sure why I would owe more. She said that the person I handed the check to never receive it. I let her know that I am surprised that she would even be able to remember or find it because she was so disorganized. I asked her if she knew about my experience and she got defensive and said that she was not there during that time so she has not idea… so I wanted to explain my frustrations to her. As I was telling her that, she started to talk over and laugh at my experiences. I told her how inappropriate her laughing was and she said she was sorry that I felt that she was laughing at me. I asked to speak with her manager and then her tuned changed. She said she will try to do something about the balance so I don’t have to pay. I told her I don’t care about the money, I want to talk to her manager and asked when he was going to be in. She said he is in and out all day. I asked that she tell him to call me so we can discuss how funny she thought my experience was. At this point, I am waiting for the call — but wanted to make sure everyone knew how unprofessional this center was. I am now currently at Kiddie Academy in Diamond and LOVE it. Be careful when you choose to take a look at this place.

My son is 16 months old and has been attending KinderCare in Via Verde for about 2 months. For me, it was a very hard decision to leave my son with strangers, especially since he had only been watched by myself, my husband and his grandparents. After looking at all the KinderCare’s in the area, what sold me on this facility was the grounds and the friendliness of the staff. We needed somewhere my son could attend twice a week and we really wanted him to interact with other children his age, since he is an only child. The neighborhood is very nice, the building is very well kept and the office staff was kind as well. The first few weeks my son began attending were very hard not only on him, but me as well. The director took photos, videos and was so kind to me every time I called to make sure my lil guy was doing «okay». The staff really helped with this transition. Now he openly goes to the teachers when I drop him off in the morning and seems to even enjoy himself. I have also noticed huge developmental changes in his behavior and independence at home. He has developed so much by just going here this short time. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for somewhere to take there child. If you are doubting my review, I would head down there during the day and see the facility and meet the staff.
