West Dodge KinderCare

We have been going to West Dodge KinderCare for almost a year, since our son was 6 months old. The center director Paige is very responsive and always happy to help whenever there is a concern. I feel as though my questions and concerns are answered in a timely manner & teachers are very receptive to feedback. There is an app that we are able to be notified about class activities, food/drink & nap schedules that teachers post in, they are also great about posting photo updates of my child. I value the thoughtfulness and care that is provided to my child, all teachers are eager to give an update and tell stories of how my son is doing. I can tell they care for him like family. I would highly recommend West Dodge KinderCare to anyone who lives in this area!

My son has been attending West Dodge Kindercare for close to 3 years now and we have had a great experience! The director and assistant directors are great and we love the teachers also. I love that even the teachers who haven’t had my son in class still know him and take the time to say hi to him if we see them around the center. They have a fun outdoor playground area and they also have the movement room (an indoor room set up with mats and balls and foam blocks and such) so the kids can get some energy out when the weather isn’t great. My kid has always seemed happy here since day one and is excited to tell me about his day and his friends. We are thankful for West Dodge Kindercare!

I thought with all the positive reviews that this would be a great place to take care of my child. It is not. They yell at children and make the children fear them. My child started showing signs of verbal abuse after just a few days here. They kept telling me it was normal for children to scream at drop off. That's not true. When a child feels safe and has a secure attachment to their caregivers they will not scream so hard they stop breathing. I personally witnessed my 18 month old being yelled at. I immediately took him out of there and never went back. 3 out of the 4 times I dropped him off, they were not adhering to the child to teacher ratio. The center was also so dirty. Toys and shelves lined with filth, disgusting floors. My son is in a better facility now that he loves and that has a cleaning crew that deep cleans every night. Cleaning should not be on the teachers, it doesn't work. I did speak with the director and assistant director and they all acted shocked at my concerns and tried to gaslight me. I don’t know what would be more concerning: directors knowing what was going on there, or directors who don’t know what is happening at their center.

We absolutely love West Dodge KinderCare! From the moment we walk in each morning, every teacher greets my son and daughter by name, even those who have never been their direct teacher. It’s such a welcoming and personal touch that makes drop-off so special. One of my favorite things is how frequently parents receive updates and pictures throughout the day. Knowing how my kids are doing and what they’re up to really puts my mind at ease. The communication from the staff is fantastic—any time I’ve had a question for the teachers, managers, or Director, it’s been answered promptly and thoroughly. The events they put on, like trick-or-treating and the summer carnivals, create a wonderful sense of community. It’s a great opportunity to bond with both the teachers and other families. And the love my children receive is heartwarming—my daughter runs to her teacher every morning with a big hug, and my baby boy is always cuddled and doted on. What I also love is that they follow a curriculum. My kids are actually learning while playing, not just running wild all day. It’s great preparation for school, and I can see how much they’re growing! The center is always clean, and I appreciate the extra touches in the lobby, like coffee for the parents and seasonal décor. I would recommend West Dodge KinderCare to anyone! My kids will stay here until they start school because we couldn’t be happier.

We love West Dodge Kindercare! The director Paige and assistant directors Sarah and Melissa are amazing. They give frequent updates about the center and any changes that are happening. We really appreciate the communication from them. The teachers are great! You can really tell that they love working with all the kiddos. They have a relationship with each of them! They use an app to keep you up to date on the day including pictures. We are very happy with the care they provide!
