KinderCare Corporate Office & Headquarters

I have worked for KinderCare in Arizona for almost 2 year and absolutely loved my job as lead teacher until we received a new Center director. Not one single staff member has anything positive to say about her and she treats the staff very poorly. She has no problem putting children into rooms that they don't belong in and has no personal skills with the parents. After reading some of the other reviews on here, I guess that is a KinderCare thing. I was not only a staff member, but a parent of a schoolager that was often put into a room with 3 year olds. She is 7 and has no business spending time in a room with 3 year olds. She was expected to sit and be quiet and play for over 2 hours during nap time. I brought this up to the center director and nothing changed. On a more general level, KinderCare is so cheap with their food. Giving kids crackers and water for snack. Crackers are given frequently and when I asked for more, I was often told that it was a snack, not a meal.

kindercare makes lots of money its because of the teachers who put their effect into. i think that they all should get a rate and not the director who gets their bonus everytime their center got higher enrollment.

The kindercare in brookhaven is horrible! They are always understaffed, they put children in classrooms that they shouldnt be in and dont follow the proper ratios. They directors say they will do things just to keep the parents happy, but they never do what they say they will do. The director acts like she cares about the children and the staff but she only cares about her pay check and she comes into work whenever she feels like it. The assisant director talks to the staff like their trash she has no respect at all. The teachers are amazing they always have smiles on their faces and you can tell that they really love the children that they work with. The teachers dont get paid what they deserve to get paid. Its the teachers that bring in the parents/children not the directors. And kindercare is suppose to "care" about the families so much then why is tuition so expensive? Kindercare is just a horrible place

I work at the Kindercare in Brookhaven Pa, and its a horrible place to work and a even worse place to bring your children. All they care about is making money, kindercare doesnt care about the families, the children or the staff members. Never in my life have I been talked to and disrespected like I am at kindercare. If your sick and have a fever and have to call out they threaten to call Human Resources on you. They don't care about the staff at all. They dont give raises because theres not enough money but the parents pay over $200 a week to have their children there. The directors talk so nicely to the parents and tell them all these lies about all the good things they do. And once the parents leave they run their mouths about the parents and treat the kids like horribely. The director doesn't even have the legal requirments to be the director. They tell the parents that they care about the circulium and its always done, but when it comes down to it if we need something for the classroom to do an activity they will never get the supplies that are needed. They tell the parents that special things will be done for the children but the staff are never given the time nor the supplies needed. Bottom line is kindercare is a very shady place there is a lot of horrible things that go on when the parents are gone. Be smart and do your research before you go to kindercare.

Stay away from this place this is not a place to put your child or work. Horrible place for families.

I accept now that the reason for my separation was down to me. After the win ex back spell casting readings it was like it has been seen in a dream vision about me. I realize now that I was not a good person with my girlfriend and i blame myself. I'm happy this has been highlighted now and it has put me on the right path to being a better person. Now that i have her back again,this is the time to try and get her to love me more and more again and to always treat her good even though the spell still works i will always show her my love,i am happy i win her back again,please wish the relationship therapist winexbackspell@gmail.com all your success victory for me,the spirit will be very glad for that.

I'm rating this company as an employee. I have worked with KinderCare for 7 year now, and the company has changed so much. I used to feel valued as a teacher but not anymore. We have not seen any pay raises in three years. Every day they increase the workload and tell us that we are supposed to have passion for our jobs. Well, I have a passion for teaching just not for working at KinderCare. Sad to say, but I am leaving at the end of this year to go on to better things. I hope that Kindercare wakes up and realizes that without their teachers, they are nothing. We need more than "words", we need actions. They spend big money to bring in District managers from Pizza Hut and Build a Bear which is a joke. These individuals have NEVER worked in a classroom, but they tell us how we are supposed to teach. Wake up Kindercare

I worked at a KinderCare for five years. I never got a raise because there was a "freeze" on them. I was denied one both afer recieving my BA and after becoming promoted to a teacher of a classroom. My ideas were constantly being shut down and the managers were constantly contradicting what they told us to do. Every day they would brag about how much money they were getting yet couldnt spare an extra penny for the staff that had been there for years. Regardless how much work was put into the classroom and into the curriculum there was never any positive feedback; always negetive. There is also no cleaning company. Parents: your childrens classrooms are filthy. Also, you are being lied to. Yes lied to. The staff is required on a daily basis to never ever tell the parent about behavioral problems or about how sick their children are. Often times a child would become ill and we would ask that the parent be notified;the managers would decline because they did not want to 'bother' the parents. My class never had the supplied it needed, and I was never offered any help when I needed it The worst part about this is that they will never ever be caught or repremanded. KinderCare is a scam. Even the so called classes they offer are a joke. They will charge you $150 for Music Class. I have sat in on this and guess what? It's the same thing as morning circle which is FREE. Before you think of entering your child into this company, and before you think of applying think again. You have been warned.

The Kindercare on Trellis Lane in Abingdon, MD doesn't even deserve the one star rating, but since that is the lowest rating you can give on this site, so be it. The director and assistant director are both complete B******! I know I am stooping to a low level in saying that, but that sums it up best. The halos are bright and shiny over their head when you are in front of them, but the horns show up when you leave. They speak something awful about the children in their school as well as their families, AND the way they openly speak about their staff to OTHER staff members is absolutely crazy. How do I know all of this? Because I OFTEN hear their comments as I walk through the lobby on a daily basis. It has actually gotten so bad that I am currently looking for alternate care for my child. We have only been at this school for a short time, but it has already been TOO LONG. I leave my child there with a heavy heart each day HOPING that they are not one of the kids on the list of children they don't care for, or that myself or my husband aren't on one of those lists as well. If I happen to be on that list, does my child get treated differently because they don't like me? Would make you wonder too huh? It's a horrible thought that haunts me throughout the day. I also do not want my child to be in an environment that is sooooooo negative. It isn't healthy. If I, as a customer, am hearing all of the horrible things that they say about other children, families and staff while in the lobby, I can't even imagine what is actually said in a classroom in front of the children. One morning while I was in the lobby waiting to use the restroom before my drive to work, I saw the director point out the window to a parent who had just left the building (whom she had just had a very nice cheerful conversation with)and heard her tell one of her teachers (HER TEACHERS) 'that woman is the biggest B**** I have ever met'. REALLY?!!! You have got to be kidding me! Aside from this little blurb here, I have already put in a phone call to the corporate office about this school and the 'happenings' and I have written a letter to the president of the corporation as well. After reading reviews on this site and others sites too, I am right up there with others who tell you to STAY AWAY from Kindercare. It seems to be a bad choice. These same situations seem to happen in lots of different Kindercare schools in MANY areas, so what does that tell you about the corporation as a whole? One thing it tells me is that they could care less about anything but the money they have coming in. As long as the money keeps coming, who cares what happens or how others are treated along the way! Way to go Knowledge Learning Corporation!!!!!! IDIOTS!

not even 1 star.I worked in kindercare and it sucks. They only love to cut hours. They should respect their teachers who actually spends time with children. If you say anything which you feel is not right, They accuse you to neglect a child or other blames and makes ur life hell. We teachers need help. Don't know where to go.

I have worked for KinderCare for a few months now and as much as I would love to give them the benefit of the doubt, I can't. Not only do they treat their employees horrible, but they treat the families worse because of how misleading they are. They might greet the families with open arms and tell them about how wonderful their child is or tell them a funny story that happened that day, but it is completely different once the parents leave. They are more concerned about the image they are portraying to the families rather than the quality of the education the children are actually receiving. I have to hand it to the corporation though because they know exactly what they are doing and it is pretty smart. They know they have to force the staff to put on a fake front so that the parents keep paying their children to go there. Without the parents money, KinderCare is nothing and they know this. I used to work for a non-profit organization and the children received a better education because they always had the state on them to catch any mistake they might make. KinderCare is a global corporation that has no one watching them and all the money in the world to cover up any illegal or injustice thing they want. Parents, please do your research before feeding into this horrible excuse for a childcare setting. Find out what is really going on, don't just review the KinderCare website.

This teacher Srijana in Kindercare on Lee Highway in Fairfax VA is a horrible person. She told another teacher who told me in confidence that my child is a pain in the xxx. This is not how teachers should talk about children in general. Disappointed

would not rate kindercare a star. I work at one and it is awful. The director is rude and always changing rules on you then Denys it all and go by the book. When you catch her in a lie is when she Denys everything. The director favors teachers, allowing them to do what they want when they want. She also allows them to talk to me like I am trash infront of her. The director says no gossip allowed but she does it and starts it.Many times I have over heard her speaking about me and how much she dislikes me. I ask for help but get no help from the director, and when somthing happends she says why didnt you come get me, when 5min ago she said she was busy and chould not help me. My director offend yells at me infront of teachers and familys and makes me feel and look like I can't do my job. By her talking to me like this I feel I lose respected form familys, students and co-works. She picked on co-worker, so bad that she had a brake down and quite and I am also almost to that point. There is so much more I can say but ill leave it this, it like being in highschool all over agian and I am not part of the click.

I have worked for Kindercare for many years and have gone through the many changes and abuse your company places upon their teachers. I am in search of new employment and it couldn't come too soon. I have gone through 3 directors and the last one is a B----. She is very disrespectful to all the teachers and does not care about the parents. She lies to the teachers and shows her unprofessionalism by talking about other teachers to other teachers. In the years I have worked for you, I have only increased my pay by a few cents. I believe I am worth more than this. The DM is very evil and also shows disrespect to the teachers and anyone who comes in her path. Bottom line, obviously I am not there for the pay (what a joke), I am there for the children, shouldn't you be?

One of the most sad and very sad about kinder care is that they dont apteciate any teacher now imagine working over 3 years or more and u never get a rate so parents did u think corporate and big boss made that diff nooooooo teacher do the DIFFERENTE every single day

I am very disappointed in Kinder Care in the Newport news area. Where is the honesty to the staff, parents, and children? Where does the money go? I'm sure not in supplies, no cleaning crew, low to no in-house field trips or events. Are you concerned parents are paying for enrichment classes that are not being done? As a parent, I will take my child out and warn others of the scam. For the few teachers that care, I pray for you.

Kindercare schools in Fresno are a huge mess The general manager camila Fernandez is ruining These schools by her lack of any knowledge of child care. This lady came from jamba juice...WOW! I pulled my child out After seeing the school cut there employees hours The children are not recieving the care they need or Deserve. At one time the school was ran great well staffed And over the last year it has become ridiculous . I will Never take my son back to any kindercare school! Get with it corporate and send somebody down To talk to the people responsible for making your Profits, the employees they can tell you how bad it Has gotten since you hired the new Fresno general manager Camila Fernandez . What a mess!!!!

I worked at kindercare for about 3 weeks it was terrible, i was mistreated badly there, i did notget the proper training, didnt give me a tour of the facility, they throw the coperation book at me and i was told to read it. it was a very big thick book. I was treated like a criminal the moment I steped into the door I was spyed on, i worked with an spanish girl who had no papers and did not read or write english I got blamed for it.I was called in the office because she couldnt write or fill out paper work, which i tought was really on fare. i was treated like a dog. I was talked about by the teachers, I was told i needed to shave my arms so as to look normal by a manager in front of the kids. Every move i made i was watched and told on by the cook and other teachers, if i forgot to wash a child hands and or face or any small thing like that, or if something was forgotten on a daily form I was blamed, they didn't even tell me what my job description was. The class was mixed with toddlers and preschool kids which was a no,no from the beginning by the managment.Its a big case of descrimanation I was the only Black person there and I DIFFERNTLY GOT A RAW DEAL, IAM STILL WAITING FOR MY FINAL PAY CHECK.tHIS IS JUST A FEW THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME THERE IS MUCH, MUCH MORE. I am strongly thinking about placing a law suite against theme.For mistreatment, pain and suffering, and other damages.

I would not rate kindercare a star. I use to work at one and it was awful. The director is rude and always changing rules on you then Denys it all and go by the book. When you catch her in a lie is when she Denys everything. The director favors one teacher and let's them sit in the office instead of being in her classroom.( infants) other workers do her job for her. The director wants us to make her happy. Sorry she never signed my paychecks!! The infant teacher has back towards her infants and worries about her bulkiest boards do not even play the Kids. The director also tells same teacher private stuff about other workers and families. The director says no gossip allowed but she does it. Another teacher at pd day talked to our directors boss about a child that we were having problems with but no help from the director. Our director the next day pulled the teacher aside and said you made me look like I can't do my job and ask permission to talk to my boss! We do not need permission to talk to directors boss. She picked on worker for a week after that. The director gossip about teachers and families.director commented once how they do not like their job and tired of it then quit. The list can go on but that's part of it!! Teachers and families left because of how they are. The director wants to talk about being professional well then be professional!!
