My family has always been a Kindercare family. My son started off at San Carlos Kindercare (which was the most amazing center) and then moved to Scripps ranch a year and a few months ago. The teachers at Scripps ranch are spectacular. The preschool teachers specifically are one of a kind, genuine teachers. I give the center a lot of credit for my sons development. Unfortunately with the good, there comes the bad. 1. There have been four directors in a year. My issue with this is that there was never communication with the parents. The first conversation and introduction I had with the newest center director was weeks into her role and our first conversation was about them bumping up our weekly cost 2. The price changed on us two times in the year we were at the center, with very little heads up. Its a pricey center already but every three months, you also pay a seasonal registration fee which again is never communicated. One time I paid $250, another I paid $187.20 and didn't even know about it until I saw it on my account 3. My son has a late birthday that runs mid Sept. Apparently the cut off is Sept 1 to transition from preschool to prek in the new year. I understood their policies. Until my son started getting bored of learning the same things. I asked three different teachers about moving him to prek and got three different answers. They didn't seem to be on the same wavelength or have my sons best interest in mind. 4. The school was getting ready to have people come in so they could gain accreditation in October. The director stopped when I picked my son up and asked me if it were at all possible for me to not bring him to school the next day because they were having the inspection and didn't want him running around the class.... I pay over $1000 for him to attend and work full time- no, I can't just take off work. This was our last straw.
