Kindercare
"Vijay" wrote in message ...
Does anyone have any experiences with Kindercare centers in Schaumburg Illinois? My wife and I are currently expecting our first born and are looking for day care options in this area. Any feedback would be useful and appreciated. Although Kindercares may vary tremendously and my kid was much older, I had a very bad experience with our local Kindercare. I needed only three weeks of part-time childcare one summer. My kid was enrolled in a mornings-only gifted student summer program, and I guess they expect that gifted kids don't have parents who are employed. I could get her dropped off at the local Kindercare though, after the program was over, and it was one of the few places that would take her just for a few weeks and just in the afternoons. The supervision for the elementary school aged kids was awful. My child was bullied by older children and was miserable. The adult in charge barely spoke English and basically did nothing to prevent it. We finally made an arrangement where she instead volunteered in the baby room in the afternoons rather than be with the kids her age, since they were doing a mini-Lord of the Flies with the elementary school kids. Based on this experience, I would look very closely at the level of supervision and care my infant would be receiving at Kindercare. A much better situation, I think, would be at a home day care. My younger daughter was in one of these for about a year or so as a baby and did very well. Under the state licencing, there was a toddler, and then three or four older kids in the woman's home. She had a nursery and age-appropriate play room for the kids. She was great with the kids, and my daughter thrived. Warm Regards, Claire Petersky |
