Whittier KinderCare

I took my daughter here because I thought it was going to be a great experience for my daughter but I was totally wrong. When it was her first day I saw children hitting and kicking each other and I talked to the teacher who was «watching» the children, and she told me that it was ok because that’s how they express themselves. In my opinion that is not ok and they should not allow hitting at all. My daughter was so sweet, she never ever use to hit or take toys away. Now she acts like she’s being bullied and she takes toys away and acts the same way as the other children do and she thinks it’s ok to hit. Whenever I took her she would latch on to me and use to cry so much and would act scared. She only lasted 3 weeks until I took her out. I am currently enrolling her into another care facility. I do not recommend this place.

I have brought my son to this particular kindercare and I must say the school looks very run down. The teachers are not very nice or comforting to the kids when the parents are not around. I have stood in a room next to where all the kids were and I must say I did not enjoy listening to the way they talk to the kids. Second of all, this particular center does not show me that they are challenging the kids on the educational part. I have taken my son to a different kinder care location and have done SO MUCH MORE than this facility does or probably ever will. AND seems to me that they are more worried about payment than they are about the care of the children here even though we have written contracts with them. I definitely DO NOT recommend this facility to any parent at all!

I’m looking for a preschool for my 2 year old and visited KinderCare. The 1^st thing that hit me was the odd smell than emanated the children’s area and how run-​down everything looked (a coat of paint could go a long way there). The next thing was the staff’s appearance: poor grooming/​presentation, tired-​looking and appeared to be unable to ‘keep up’ with the kids. I didn’t see anything that made KinderCare different or more ‘challenging’ than other preschools.

I would say it is an average preschool. You can feel safe keeping your child there. But I don’t see it as a place that will challenge your child’s education.
