This Kindercare location is great and super convenient ! My daughter started going here when she was 3 years old and i havent had any problems since ! All the teachers are so welcoming and caring. They make my daughter feel so loved and my daughter looks forward to coming to school everyday ! When my daughter first started she had a very hard time adjusting, but her teachers Ms.Tiffany & Ms.Nicole always help her get settled in ! I love how the center is always clean and tidy. Parent/teacher communication is great ! Im constantly getting frequent updates about my daughters day. I feel safe and comfortable dropping her off here everyday. Thank you !

We had a great experience with Eisenhower East KinderCare. Miss Anissa, Miss Sharawn, and our child’s teachers were clearly invested in the wellbeing of the children, and they assured parents that their kids were in good hands. When our child experienced an incident, Miss Anissa was quick to take the appropriate action; she called us immediately to explain the situation, brought our child into her office to keep him calm until our arrival, recommended an immediate course of action, and checked in on us over the weekend to make sure everything was okay. She further sat down with us upon returning our child to the center to reassure us of the steps taken to prevent the incident from recurring. We were fortunate for our child to be in such a good environment for his first daycare.

My sona has attended the Eisenhower East kindercare since he was 3 years of age, he is now 5 going on 6. I am very proud and confident to say that he is more then prepared for Kindergarten in the fall. This is due to the structured programming and curriculum that they have there. I recommend this center to anyone who is looking for quality child care. 2

My son is enrolled in the pre-k program here and I can't recommend the program enough. We are a military family and he was previously enrolled in universal pre-k at a DODEA school. The difference is stark. My son is retaining information he's learning throughout the day. We've seen improvement in writing, he's begun reading (very very limited, we're not einsteins), he tells me new math facts daily, and he's excited to go in! His teacher Tiffany is a blessing. Her class is structured and fun, and the constant feedback on the app makes it easier for me to engage my son about his day. The director, Anissa, and assistant director, Sharan, are unmatched and are the reason this Kindercare stands out. If you're nervous about putting your children in someone else's care this is the best option for you because the amount of transparency and communication alleviates any stress or worry.

My daughter started at this daycare in March 2024, and in the beginning, everything was wonderful. The center director at the time, Ms. Jamie, made us feel incredibly welcomed, which was especially important as this was our daughter’s first daycare experience.
After Ms. Jamie, another director, Ms. Victoria R., briefly took over but quit on her first day, stating that the families were “too much.” To be honest, we were relieved—she was very rude to parents. Thankfully, Ms. Anissa C. stepped in next and did an outstanding job keeping the center running well and supporting both families and staff.
Unfortunately, during a time when Ms. Anissa was not present and the Assistant Director, Ms. Sharawn L. (who you’ll notice is mentioned in many of the negative reviews here), was left in charge, our daughter experienced a medical emergency. Ms. Sharawn called me at 5:46 PM and said our daughter “wasn’t feeling well,” but emphasized it wasn’t an emergency. I told her I’d be there in 10 minutes. When I arrived, my wife came running out with our daughter, saying we needed to go to the ER immediately—our daughter was struggling to breathe.
We took her to PM Pediatrics, where they started treatment right away. Her oxygen level was at 89—dangerously low for a child, and something they said had likely been that way for hours. This was a clear emergency that was completely mishandled. I emailed Ms. Anissa that night, and she immediately called to check in and investigate.
Two weeks later, when Ms. Anissa and our daughter’s regular teachers were out, five children—including ours—were injured. No one could tell me what happened. My daughter had a knot on her head, and Ms. Sharawn claimed she didn’t know about it but would get me an incident report within two days. That was months ago. I still have not received a report or explanation.
Again, I had to reach out to Ms. Anissa, who took the issue seriously and held the team accountable. The matter made it to corporate, and that’s when things got worse. District Director Ms. Danni B. stepped in and completely failed to support concerned parents. She was dismissive, dishonest, and showed clear favoritism—stating she would not be letting go of Ms. Sharawn, the one staff member at the center of all these issues. Instead, she removed Ms. Anissa, the one person who had consistently handled things well.
Ms. Danni said she’d be conducting a surprise visit to investigate what happened, but somehow the entire staff knew she was coming. Even Ms. Sharawn, who rarely dresses up, suddenly changed her appearance for the day. My wife and I were furious at how poorly everything was being handled. We brought our concerns to Regional Director Ms. Anissa W., but she was just as unhelpful.
To make things worse, when I showed up at the center on the day I was told I’d meet with Ms. Danni, I was met with silence and side-eyes from the new center director, Ms. Ana B., and another director from D.C. I asked if she was Ms. Danni, and instead of introducing herself, she just said “no.” She stood there staring out the window until the other director finally asked if I needed to speak with Ms. Danni, only to tell me she “got sick and left early.” Later, I found out Ms. Ana told our daughter’s teachers, “I heard the mother is a mess.” Highly unprofessional.
The atmosphere turned cold and unwelcoming. Ms. Ana and Ms. Danni seemed more focused on playing “mean girls” than supporting children and families. It’s no wonder Ms. Jamie left—this kind of leadership is toxic.
I’m relieved that I’ve pulled my daughter out of the center, but I will truly miss her amazing teachers—Ms. Halle, Ms. Destiny, and Ms. Talayah. They were the bright spots in an otherwise disappointing and frustrating experience.
