Reviews of Mechanicsburg KinderCare (Kindergarten)

Ashley Mengle

We've been very happy with this center, after having our infant and toddler here for 4 months so far. The center is on the smaller side, so all of the teachers know each child, even if they're not in their class. Teachers actually seem happy here, which isn't like a childcare center our children were previously at. I think it really has to do with the director, which at this kindercare, Jen is great. She took over when we first started. She responds to emails very quickly, they aren't afriad to call and ask questions and is always so pleasant. The outdoor area is really nice, and the rooms are kept very tiddy and clean. They feed them their meals, and they are NOT just chicken fingers, etc. They are healthy and diverse... Chicken enchiladas, cucumbers and cheese for snack, etc. Only thing they could work on is adding a communication app to update on how each child's day is going. We get a paper at the end of the day stating it, but would be nice to know in real time. However, KinderCare Corp sent out an email and said they were working on implementing something for this year.

I will never ever take my child there again. Poor example of how to run a childcare center. The director didn’t even know my child wasn’t there at the school. Corporate had to address management for the embarrassment they caused They are very snooty my child was just a number. You couldn’t pay me to bring my son there. I would give 0 stars as the other reviews mentioned.

I commend this facility for taking 3 year olds that aren’t potty trained, that was a huge help. But our son was there for like 2 weeks. They called both parents on a Friday because he was crying and trying to leave the room for suggests on what to do to calm him down. Then the following Monday they demanded we pick him up because he wouldn’t stop trying to leave the room. I wouldn’t recommend it here because my son obviously didn’t receive any comforting care. He told me they would yell at him. This just wasn’t the way to handle a scared child in a new setting. We pulled him after that Monday. Also this was not his first daycare, so we aren’t sure what at this daycare made him feel so uneasy.

I love this daycare. I was at another local daycare and every time I walked into the preschool class, the kids were just watching a big screen with cartoons on it, like peppa pig! I went to get my other kid (same daycare) from the playground and no one knew where she was, she was hiding under the slide and crying. I also had my 4 year old at a private preschool where she was being bullied and when I brought it to their attention they told my kid that maybe she'll have a better day tomorrow... Kindercare is the complete opposite.. they know where my kids are and let me know as soon as I walk into their classrooms.. I hear the teachers acknowledge any conflicts between the kids as soon as they happen...my daughter once told me that she was sad (over a death in the family) and her teacher hugged her and stayed with her until she was okay... these are the big things to me.. the little things: they provide meals/snacks and the director worked with me to lower my weekly fees.
