Risk for your child at Crystal Rock location

They need to improve their policies about sick children. They allow contagious children in the same room with babies. They are supposed to have policies for it. I miss a week of work just for their careless management.

several things that seem to occur is paying for day's they are closed and reserving a spot for my child for Half pay tuition. All other monthly or service based companies IE your cell phone company if you call because of no service due to their issue, they discount the bill. there are 2 full weeks in the entire year Kindercare pockets money. Every year there is a price increase. Another thing is where is the money going, it's not to keep the people there with awesome pay or incentives - look at your reviews online. Being you bought out Rainbow and appears to be worse, me/mywife and a GROUP are seriously contemplating leaving.

Never use an apostrophe to form a plural. It is the only inviolable rule in the English Language.

If you're planning to leave a place, fine ; vote with your feet and your wallet when displeased. But do not speak for some nebulous "GROUP" because "they" are perfectly capable of issuing their own statements or performing their own actions without veiled threats of your ficticious lynch mob.

Woods Chapel KinderCare has a new manager, and she is really awesome. My girls love Miss Amanda, and I think she has made a lot of positive changes. I’m very pleased with our daycare experience!

Poor managment/ Lack of supervision

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

my 2 kids are constantly getting injured scrapes , bitten, bumps and bruises, soiled diapers. Bad attitude of teachers, But not all of them there were some that were nice.

Some are just too young to be in decision makings and constant supervision is just so poor by some of the young ones that I observed. So take your chances. I as a proud responsible dad was kicked off property, and ordered to not pick up my kids or drop them off, because management retaliated against me for calling the corporate office in Oregon or Seattle? and they decided to play the revenge and discriminatory unprofessional decision to boot me off property, for complaining of my kids injuries.

You got to be kidding. how sad is that ? They also think that I'm racial, for asking a simple question of why 99% of my toddlers 3 yr old class WAS COMPOSED 99% AFRO AMERICAN, and my little 3 yr old Caucasian is the only one so I have the right to ask ? A AFRO AMERICAN WOMAN CAN ALSO ASK IF her son is the only one and the rest is all white 99% why would that make me a racist?

But that's the mentality of the staff , and the director and the district manager, they all decided to retaliate against me in a brutal embarrassing way that just hurt me, and my kids, and my little daughter is asking me Daddy why did they kick you out you didn't hurt nobody, and they are telling me that I'm disrespectful to their staff, I beg your pardon-- They have it backwards they are disrespectful to me as A PARENT.

Stay away. There are much better daycares to choose from.

CPS calls to turn the focus from staff

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They called CPS 3x in less than 2 weeks for small bruises on our toddlers shins. Yes the same bruises.

What toddler does not get bruises on legs? I know right?! Drug our family through *** for 2 months after 3 doctors and 3 cps caseworkers investigated and said they were normal and saw no sign of abuse.

Here is the kicker...cps shared a photo with us that they took at the daycare on the first call. Red marks all over her legs and sides, obviously a sign of a recent struggle.

She had been there over 3 hours already when that was taken and when we took her to a dr 3 hours later at the advice of caseworker, and they were gone. We found out about those marks a month into the investigation, we were told it was shin bruises! We were livid. The staff obviously hurt her and then called cps on us to try to turn the whole thing on us.

In any case it was all ruled as no abuse or neglect. I even hired a lawyer. But we pulled her out of kindercare (mill creek, wa). Dont take your child there they are devious and can’t handle kids!

What really irritates me though is that nobody would point the finger at the daycare, not even cps, even when it was plainly obvious. I was told nobody does, nobody can win.

Whats wrong with this? We put our most precious little persons in their care!

Teacher hit my child in eye with a ball. After falsely accusing my child of harming another child.

March 2019. I got a call from the teacher stating my child kicked another child in the face. When I asked what happened he decided to let my 5year old tell me. The story my child told had nothing to do with the accusations. I then spok back with the teacher I asked him what happened he said “didn’t your son tell u.” And told me that he did not see it. I asked him how he write it up he did not witness it and he told me bye have a nice day and hung up in my face. I called back to speak to director she listened. And said that if the teacher didn’t witness it that I won’t have to sign a report. When I went to pick my child up I noticed he was crying and had bruised eye. I asked him what happened he told me the teacher done it. The way he demonstrated and the bruising let me know it was a hard impact. He claims they were playing dodge ball. He was not cooperative. I called the cops. The cops asked him why didn’t he file a report knowing that he hit my child but filed report on my child for something he didn’t witness. The teacher response was they only file report when there is bruising bleeding etc. The corporate pretended to investigate. They told me after a week that the teacher will be returning to work in same class. There’s no words to describe how I feel. They have not considered the safety of my son. The assault on my 5year old son by a teacher that was not reported. The safety of other children. They used another teacher for a witness that sis not see the incident. And not one *** time have they apologized for my baby becoming a victim. I HATE KINDERCARE. they are going to pay. I have had problems with them for a while now. For many of things and No one showed concern for the interest of my child. The only reason why my child attended that long is because of him adjusting new environment. But since he got assaulted by a teacher. I don’t feel safe with not just the teacher but the staff in general who backed him up so I have been seeking a new center and IWILL BE PRESSING CHARGES TO THE MAX ON THAT *** Everyone who play a role in that weak investigation WILL GO DOWN. I SEE WHY THEY DIDN’T HAVE CAMERAS KINDERCARE IS THE DEVILS PLAYGROUND. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD THERR IF YOU LOVE THEM!!!!!!!! I WILL NOT POST VIDEO OR PICTURES BECAUSE THE CASE IS FRESH. BUT MY SOM DEMONSTRATED THE SQME STORY OVER 20 TIMES. !!!!! IM DISGUSTED

It was a NIGHTMARE!!! The time we live in...

Take whatever actions you deem necessary, but I suspect there is much more to this story than you are telling us. From your description of events, it appears we are dealing with an overly-protective mother whose child can do no wrong.

I just revisited this site and I would like to let u know that you are wrong I definitely do not want to entertain your negativity because I experienced this first hand. It was horrible for me.

Of course Everyone who has children is overprotective of their child. Apparently u have none because u seem to have a difficult time empathizing. My child was a victim in this. No need though.

But just know that the guy who done this,and got away with it harmed another child and got fired.!!! Thank u for assuming.. and also I know my child and I pass fair judgement on every situation and this my dear involved pure innocence.

Stay woke !! Thank me later.

Starving & Dehydrated Children

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Children are being served nearly nothing to eat. Its heartbreaking. My son told me he only ate oranges for lunch. I sat in for one lunch and saw the food that seemed to be prepared HOURS before lunch. It was slim to none, cold and over cooked. He is being unenrolled. They drink water maybe twice a day. He was coming home starving and dehydrated. With the amount of tuition we have paid weekly,our children deserve decent meals. And seconds if they are still hungry.

Every family should double check the billing for their child’s care. I have been overcharged.

I am due a refund I am still waiting to receive. I was billed twice from a Kindercare location/center my son had not been at for almost a year!

I’m in a sticky situation... my daughter is an employee... yet she is getting taking advantage of! She loves her job, she’s going to school, has lots of friends she works with but is being used! I try to explain to her it’s not ok but she doesn’t want anyone in trouble. Her time card is always changed to shorter hours so she literally working for nothing. She gets a text message the night before her shift to come in... no sweetly schedule and then the horror stories she tells me about the director... not present, communicates through text, has children going there for FREE or practically free... I want her to quit and be recognized for her work, get paid for her time... it seems like a lot of this is going on after reading the threads

Don't work here

I have worked at Kindercare for a few years now, I am on my 4th director. The first 3 were great, being a director is tough I am sure, and some people just aren't cut out for it. The director and AD we have now are horrible. The CD is better than the AD, the AD talks to us extremely unprofessionally, talks gossip about the workers and kids, is rude and belittles everyone. They don't care about the employees or the children, they only care about OT and themselves. I enjoyed work until the last few months when we got our new directors. I hate coming to work everyday.
