Sammy: They have been nothing but amazing!! I am a new parent looking to send my baby boy in January. Any time i call they answer and are always helpful with answering questions i may have no matter how weird or out there they may be. Im so excited to send my son come January i know he will be so well taking care off and i love the idea i will be able to get updates on his day all day long while at work. All the staff seems so friendly and careing like the genuinely care about all the well being of the kids. I am so over joyed to have found a place i believe will be out forever center.

Jessica Taylor: My daughter has been attending this daycare for over a year. Shen began at 10 weeks old. We love everything about this center. My daughter is thriving in her development and loves going to school everyday. I am in education and know and appreciate a solid curriculum. More importantly the staff there are caring and compassionate and genuinely care about my daughter. The communication of the center is great! My husband is currently overseas and is able to keep up with her day, they upload pictures and activities daily.Communication with the center is great, I can call, email or message and someone gets back to me. A few months ago my daughter had to be hospitalized and the director made sure to email me over the weekend to check on her. The people that work their care about kids and I am so happy that my daughter has a place that loves her and that she loves going to.

Monty Gatson: Critical:CommunicationI have been trying to communicate with this daycare for over 2 weeks. No one answers the phone, the mailbox is full and no returned emails. Is this how it is if your child is there???

Virginia Schneider: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value

Emily Arrowsmith: We started sending our son to Warren Kindercare when he was 3 months old. I cannot say enough great things about the awesome experience we have had - the teachers and management staff are always helpful and responsive, and they have maintained a professional, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere even during the throes of a global pandemic.Every day we get pictures and updates of our son truly enjoying himself which always brightens our day and gives us confidence that he is being well taken care of. Even though the Center is a "traditional" type of daycare, the care is still personalized and they know my child's individual needs and what is "normal" or "abnormal" for him. The staff are always doing fun activities with the babies and kids that are full of learning opportunities that I could never think up myself. Also, the operating hours of 6:30am-6:30pm are very flexible for working parents!Highly recommended!

MK: Positive:Quality

Suzanne Theisen: I simply cannot say enough great things about all of the staff here. They truly are invested in the growth and development of all the kiddos. They are so kind and understanding. The teachers, director and assistant director really do go above and beyond to accommodate and work through any trouble areas a little one may have. I would highly recommend this center and its staff to anyone looking for excellent quality daycare.

Mandy Pantuso: We moved our daughter to Warren KinderCare from another popular child care facility in Warren in summer of 2019. From the moment after we toured, we knew we were “home”. The facility is so clean, classrooms are made with children in mind, directors are hands-on, teachers are passionate and take professional development courses to better their skills, and the staff will work with your family no matter the circumstance. Our daughter is welcomed every day with a smile and she loves every minute she is at school. Her day is packed with so many learning activities and I know she will be more than ready for kindergarten in the fall. We love that she is served healthy meals and is trying new foods that might be out of her normal comfort zone. We also love that her teachers regularly update us throughout the day with pictures and videos of her learning activities, information about what she has eaten and how long she has napped. We have felt very confident in the centers’ response to Covid and procedures are followed and enforced to ensure child and staff safety. I highly recommend this center to any families that are looking in the area.

Kirsten Rossow: My 3.5 month old son started at kindercare recently and we have been loving it! The teachers have been kind and patient with me as I asked a million questions and daily send notes. They send pictures of my son having a great day almost daily which helps me feel confident in his care.As a first time mom, finding the right place for my child when I returned to work was really scary. The director and assistant director really helped me feel comfortable and confident that my son is getting everything he needs while I work.The staff wears masks all day, we do temperature checks at the door and a member of the staff greets you at the door to take your child to their classroom. They are doing everything in their power to keep the kids and their staff safe and healthy.

Harrison Vogel: Awesome teachers, awesome director. My kids love it here and we have been very happy with our experiences.

Emily Smalley: In February 2020, I toured Kindercare, looking for a place to send my newborn son. I immediately knew this was our new daycare center after walking into the door. It was a fairly new building and they had thought of everything. Well designed classrooms, a gym for days the kids can't play outside and playgrounds for the different age groups. Included in the tuition was diapers & wipes, clean sheets daily and food once the babies start to eat. All I had to bring in was bottles, pureed baby food and changes of clothes.With COVID happening, we didn't start at the daycare until July and the team there has done an outstanding job caring for the kids and keeping everyone safe. Only one parent is allowed at a time in the lobby to drop off/pick up and temperature checks are done at drop off. My son is almost a year and enjoys his time there (we enjoy seeing his pictures, videos and other updates in the Kindercare app).

Ron O’Neil: Kindercare has changed our childrens lives. They enjoy going to school now! I dont know how we survived without them. Their curriculum based learning is amazing and your kids will be engaged and love being their.

Jiankun Fan: If I could I will give zero star for this review. My son stayed in this daycare couple months last year. For the last three weeks, he got hurt every week even twice a week. Every time he got bruise on his head. Tried to talk to the director and assistant director. It made worse. They always tell me, they cannot guarantee anything. The assistant director blamed my son played roughly. My son could not talk yet. They blamed my son yelled the teachers. It is so ridiculous. If you plan to send your kid to this daycare, ask them to guarantee your kid's safety. If your kid already in this daycare, I do suggest you to be careful to sign any paper work.

Pamela Cornette: From scheduling a tour to meeting Krystal and Gigi in person, you are put at ease. New amenities is truly a huge perk! Kindercare has successfully found staff that truly cares about your child, their behavior, their successes, their problem solving, and reaching goals. My only regret is not having my child in Kindercare sooner. I love the constant updates and app interaction from knowing what my child is eating to what she’s learning about! My daughter has excelled and grown in only a short few months of being at Kindercare and I cannot thank the staff and her teachers.

Sarah Thiel: Both of my kids were enrolled in Small Wonders and we absolutely loved it!

melissa g: Checked out a bunch of other daycares and Small Wonders was the best option. Staff are all super friendly and helpful. They are also in constant communication using the Brightwheel app. It is very helful to get updates on every feeding, nap, waking, and special diaper change. This helps to know he is being well taken care of and to plan pumping times. We love the pictures they send of our infant son-he always has a big smile on his face! They work on tummy time with him and there's always Disney music playing =) I also like that they have events for the kids and parents to be involved like trunk or treat. I highly recommend checking them out and taking a tour!

Jesse Dula: Awful. One of the staff ripped a bib off of my son leaving a large scratch. I observed the staff all congregated together gossiping on numerous occasions while toddlers were crying.My little guy cried every time I dropped him off. It was absolutely heartbreaking. There was literally no development for toddlers at all. We've moved on to Tutor Time, and it's a complete 180.

Laura Tanghe: My son has a documented emotional disturbance that was brought on by his last daycare facility. I brought him to Small Wonders who said that they would work with him and his social worker to get him straightened out. My son attended one day (which he was not behaving) and I was called to pick him up early. I spoke with the center three times throughout the day and even spent my lunch hour at the center trying to calm my child. I was told that he could not return the next day, but that is social worker was coming the following Tuesday and he could return then. I just received a phone call at 3 pm on the Friday before Christmas saying that they could not welcome my child back at all. They are not willing to work with him, his social worker, and that they do not owe me anything.I now have 3 hours to find my son a new daycare before a holiday weekend. Very unprofessional. I would not recommend anyone take their child there.

Scott Magnuson: I highly recommend this daycare. My daughter has been attending for two years and loves it. She has learned so much and I can tell that the staff are truly invested in her development and wellbeing.

NFB BNY: Although this childcare center is convenient for work, I would not recommend. My son was not treated well in the preschool room. He told me when he had a runny nose, one of the 'care' givers pinched his nose so hard he cried! He had a phobia with letting me wipe his nose for a year after that! I put him in a childcare center close to our house. A much better fit.

Lauren: Horrible place to work. Run by people who didn't abide by their own rules. They made me feel so uncomfortable working there it was unbelievable. No matter what you did, if you weren't part of the people who have worked there for well over a year they didn't listen to you. I would never go back even if this was the last place to work on earth.

Jeremey Nofzinger: We are very pleased with Small Wonders. My 9 month old daughter loves it there. The staff is very friendly and competent. Things seem to be run very orderly and by the book.

Brandie Makie: My son goes to pre-school here. Our experience so far has been grest.

KyLee Bloss: The staff has been amazing with my son. They are close to our home and have always been very professional and kind. The pricing is fair, and the communication between staff and parents is so appreciated! I’ve received texts whenever there are issues or concerns, I get written reminders about supplies running low, and handmade art sent home. The child to adult ratio is safe, and the staff is knowledgeable about child care and safety. We send our son once a week mostly for socialization and interaction with other kids, and he’s learned and grown so much over the last year he’s been going. I never have to worry about where my boy is, I know he’s in capable, caring hands. The front office staff is also always so friendly and happy to see us. I would recommend this place to any of my friends or family anytime!

Rochelle Kaveloski: The worst daycare.So glad my granson is out.Its amazing the change in my grandson in the month that he left. Some of the girls that work there are lazy. I walked in one day and a bunch of kids were all piled on top of each other hitting and kicking each other. The girl in the room was too busy looking at her phone. I asked her whos watching these kids that was way to much rough housing for 3 year olds and her excuse was she just got there. I could go on and on. Please dont send your child here.

Jessica Boyd: Love the facility. My Son is very happy here.

Jessica Crawford: We are into our 3rd year here for our son. He has been going since he was 5 months old. We love it! The staff is amazing and you can tell they truly care about the kids and your family. We are always welcomed when we arrive. Our son is happy to be there and sometimes doesn't even want to leave. What they learn is amazing! He has grown so much in his letter, number, and color knowledge. Staff is great to help work around your scheudle and if anything unplanned comes up. I cannot recommend this center enough!

Ashley Kaveloski: My son attended this daycare for 1 year and 3 months. It was the cheapest daycare around so I went for it. About 2 months of attending this daycare I brought my son in on a Monday and apprently one of their staff has been stalking my Facebook for whatever reason and claim my son had a condition because of something that happened on the weekend and that I couldn’t bring my son in until he had a doctors note. That was strike one. Strike two was the constant papers that I had to sign because my son was getting hit by some other kid and ending up with bruises. Most of the time my son came home with unexplained bruises and bites with no reports. They also don’t follow state mandated ratios. The third strike was me getting told I needed to leave work because they couldn’t handle my child “ running around and not listening “ that he was “ kicking teachers” what I didn’t know is that he was visiting the next higher up classroom all week when I’m paying higher for another class? My child doesn’t have behavior issues, you staff is poorly trained and just doesn’t want to put in the extra work that they should be. I refused to pick him up. Maybe your approach towards my child is the problem. Staff is rude and whenever I explained a concern it got turned back on me. So within one day my child will be attending a different daycare. After reading the reviews and then state reports on LARA for complaints filed with state they are on a provisional license which means they are on probation basically. I wish I would have known sooner. Stay clear of this daycare it’s terrible.

Chrischen Mitchell: After you meet your little one for the first time, you want nothing but the best for them. It is hard to trust people other than family to watch your baby, as it should be. Trust me in saying that this is the absolute WORST daycare you could ever bring the love(s) of your life to. I took my daughter here after thinking that since it is part of the school system that it would be the best place for my child (the price didn't hurt, either). I was SO wrong. Let's start with the first instance. My daughter was maybe 4-5, maybe 6 months old and she was teething which gave her diarrhea. After the first one of the day they called me and told me about it. No big deal, I thought. It was just diarrhea, babies get that. After the SECOND one they told me I had to pick her up. The daycare did tell me though that if I got a doctors note that she could come back the next day. So, knowing this information I took my daughter to an urgent care (because this daycare likes to call you mid afternoon when you cannot get in your normal doctor) and just as I thought, it was teething. I then took the note to the daycare center the next day and thought everything would be fine. A few hours into my day they called me and said my daughter had diarrhea and she had to go home. I stated that I brought a doctors note and they said they would not accept it since it came from an urgent care. Annoyed, I took her home and got her in her normal doctor and received a doctors note stating the same thing urgent care said. THEY STILL SENT HER HOME THE NEXT DAY. Two doctors notes!!! This daycare doesn't stop from calling due to diarrhea, either. If your child has a slight fever due to teething, they will be sent home. If your child is a little bit crabby and just wants to sleep...they will be sent home. They even make you fill out a paper to put freaking butt-paste on your child's butt (this is NOT due to licensing- my new daycare does not make me). Also, if you bring Tylenol, you NEED a DOCTORS note stating what to give your child (you being their parent and telling them what to give your child does not matter). The next instance was in Toddler 1. My child went in that room (and was only there 6 months before I finally had enough- I will get to my breaking point a little later) and was bit FIVE times. Five!!!!! Not little bite marks - YOU COULD SEE TEETH MARKS AND IT WAS BRUISED!! I get that toddlers don't know any better, but I was talking to a teacher mom (oh, I forgot to mention- if you are a teacher, they WILL favor you), and her daughter was there a year++ and was bit ONCE! How in the world can my daughter be bit 5 times in a 6 month time span, but her daughter once in a year++?? It was absolutely absurd to me. My breaking point was probably what sent me over the edge. I received a voicemail stating that my daughter got hurt. The god awful worker sent me a picture via text of my daughters forehead. My daughters forehead had a GIANT goose-egg that was bruising. How did this happen? To this day I have NO idea, as I have so many conflicting stories. The voicemail stated that they got my daughter and her "friend" off the buggy ride and the workers were helping the other toddlers get off it and then turned around and saw that my daughter was crying. What the daycare wrote on the report and what they told me in person was that they SAW a "friend" push my daughter into a brick wall. How could they have witnessed this happen if the workers were busy helping other kids get out of the buggy ride? Also, I question a toddler pushing my kid that hard into a brick wall..they aren't that strong yet.Notes:-My daughter may have been sick twice in the 16 months she attended this god awful daycare (I kept her home those times), but to them she was sick ALL the time.-They close EVERY TIME the warren schools are closed (they are a daycare...aren't they supposed to be reliable??)BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE of this daycare. Spend a little extra money on the daycare's nearby. My daughter is so much happier at her new daycare (not one call or problem since switching!!)

Laura Hill: Horrible experience here. If your child has any minor behavior issues, they will suspend them the next day instead of working with them (don't send them home the day of, which would make logical sense). Morning staff will not help with getting your child to stay there, instead will watch as you struggle to get out the door with a screaming child on your legs. My 3 year old child has NEVER been a biter (and has been in daycare since she was a baby) but somehow was biting in defense here when nobody would intervene when there were issues with other children. Another daycare took her on now and we are experiencing none of these issues.

Stephen Young: Agreed, the place is unsanitary, my Daughter is constantly sick and billing is so unorganized I can't take it.

Saba Elias: I had such a bad experience with them, the teachers were nice but they have terrible people at the office. They are not flexible at all. My son is not going there anymore, I am so happy with his new daycare.
