I am elated to say that my daughter has attended KinderCare Ft Washington for a year now! We are absolutely pleased with our decision to enroll her at the KinderCare, Ft Washington location. After touring many centers, walking into KinderCare, Ft Washington instantly felt like home. The director and assistant director Ms. Tiffany and Mrs. Raynita are Amazing. Since we have become apart of the family, they have made us feel welcomed, respected, loved and value. I appreciate the two of them for their consistent professionalism, honesty, communication and genuine love for my daughter and all of the children at this center. Their personalities are admiring and warm. The school culture that they have created makes it feel as though you are leaving your child with loving/trusting family members for the day. They provide frequent methods of communication and go above their means to ensure that as parents you feel safe and reassured that your child remains in safe care. My daughter started at 1 1/2 years of age and I have observed a tremendous amount of development growth. As a School Psychologist, I am highly pleased with their accredited program and standard curriculum. I appreciate how you can view the curriculum imbedded within the daily schedule and displayed throughout the building; via various art work, pictures and language communicated. Absolutely all of the educators are pleasant, passionate and professional. They work diligently to engage with families, connect with students and make learning FUN! I mostly admire their interest in communicating with parents and always inquiring about new and innovative ways to enhance their skills. As a current 2 year old, my daughter has acquired all of her basic letter/number/color identification skills, communicates in a clear and concise manner, has greatly improved her social skills and is near potty training mastery. Overall, enrolling her into KinderCare Ft Washington was one of the greatest choices we have made. I frequently brag about our experiences at the center and I have provided many recommendations to family and friends who are interested in seeking child care. For anyone who is looking for a authentic safe, loving, professional and high quality learning center...KinderCare Ft Washington is the ANSWER! Thank you Ms. Tiffany, Mrs. Raynita and all of the educators for all that you do for our families. We love you!

My son started at kindercare FT. Washington when he was 3 months. At 6 months old, I received a call from one of the teachers saying that my son had a rash in his back. When I bring him back home I realized it wasn’t a rash, he had small bruises in his arms and back. I couldn’t believe it! I took him to the doctor and she confirmed. I felt so guilty but I was glad that I was right on time to put my baby safe!I believe there’s good people and bad people, unfortunately I will never knew who was. Please find a safe place with cameras because I learned the lesson. Always follow your instincts.

Just a update! Im still 100% great with this center and I wouldnt trade it for the world. The teachers and directors at this center are wonderful and continue to treat all the kids as their own. I have NO COMPLAINTS with the care of either of my child. My child has just moved to the 3 year old class and is still doing amazing. I will continue to refer family to this center as I have done so before and they love the center as well.Thank You KinderCare Staff

My experience has not been good: I would caution any parent who sends their child there. Look out for warning signs, child behavior changes and advocate for your child (or someone elses) if you see or hear something. My son is a toddler and he started there in the infant program. He was there for roughly 2 months. The infant program and its teachers were phenomenal however my experience changed when he transitioned as he was becoming more active and mobile. My son is a typical boy and is very busy & curious. Since his transition, my son has had scratches (multiple in the diaper area), bruises (2-arm and face) and now a chunk of his hair is missing in the back of his head. I contacted corporate headquarters after I came in to see my child buckled in a chair one day and on top of a bookshelf another day. When he was confined to a chair, the other kids were up walking around/playing but he was not allowed to do so. I was lied to regarding the circumstances of this incident and still to this day have not received an apology from any center staff. Center managements communication can be unreliable, biased, inconsistent and demeaning. The director has been very disrespectful to me when relaying my observations about my childs welfare- this comes after she urges parents to come to her if there are any problems. She does not care about the concerns that are brought to her. The only thing she wants is quiet parents who tell her shes doing a great job OR those she can manipulate into believing any center problems are your doing and/or solely rooted in your child. It is understandable that children in the ages that require daycare are still learning, growing and maturing (will make mistakes or missteps) however the adults are there to ensure their safety, to guide them positively and protect them. I see a lot of pushing safety concerns under the rug and lying about the root of school incidents. even the wording on some of the incident reports have been very shady and accusatory. Corporate level management is GREAT but the trickle down is not there. Not all teachers are bad (infant program staff was wonderful, loving and caring). Bottom line, the staff sticks together and wont tell the truth/be honest if it could effect their colleagues negatively. They know how to clean up their act in case theres an inspection or a site visit so you really would have to be there on the day-to-day to catch the foolishness thats going on. I am in the process of taking my child out. Parents, be vigilant!

As a parent of a newborn baby girl nothing was more important to me then finding great childcare. Not only are these ladies awesome but they make me feel extremely comfortable with leaving my daughter in their care. Ms.Michelle (infant teacher) is a jewel!! Shes very loving and caring with my daughter, we look forward to seeing her smiling face in the morning.Ms.Tiffany (director) and Ms.Raynita (assistant director) What a team!!! They are both always available for any of my concerns and questions that I might have. Ms.T is also great to talk to and get a good laugh. They definitely make you feel like part of the family.

My oldest is almost 3 years old and began attending KC Fort Washington when she was 5 months old. My second is 5 months old and joined the KC family a month ago. I am very, very happy with the care my children receive at KC otherwise I wouldve explored other options a long while ago. Ms. Michelle is the lead teacher in the infant room and I trust her as if she was my mom! She helped me immensely through the developmental stages of my first and now she is handling my second. Ms. Raynita and Ms. Tiffany also help in the infant room and provide the same great care to my little one. Always informative and keeping me posted on anything going on during the day. As a working mom, I am not present for drop off so with picture day today, I was able to ask the ladies to help me out and touch up my daughters hair. I very much appreciate the family environment at KC. Ms. Patrice cared for my daughter at different times when she was younger but has had her since shes been in the twos class. Ms. Patrice was key to potty training my daughter. My daughter always talks about Ms. Trice when she comes home and I always observe her genuine interactions with the little ones. It is wonderful knowing your kids are in good hands when you cannot be with them during the day. I truly appreciate all the teachers at Kindercare Fort Washington!

My experiences here has not been the greatest. The director is very rude at times. Ive been to many many centers but kindercare fort Washington is terrible. They barely even have enough teachers and they place children everywhere. They dont offer proper educational materials for children to succeed and when they do its months later. The way the center is ran is very unorganized. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND WORKING HERE.

Poor service. No one helps an is money hungry after prices are confirmed and changed again. No good! Next.

I am happy with KinderCare Fort Washington. My husband and I researched/visited several daycare/nursery schools before KinderCare. Once we visited KinderCare we immediately knew this was the place for our daughter. This learning center/school is accredited and offers a vast curriculum. The staff is engaged, professional, respectful, and caring. The Director Ms. Tiffany and Assistant Director Ms. Raynita and teaching staff are always available to answer any questions and are very responsive. The school is clean, beautifully decorated according to the season or holiday, and the children are served meals and snacks. The school opens at 6am and offers additional enrichment programs like music and phonics. KinderCare Fort Washington is a great place for children to learn, grow, and make friends along the way. KinderCare is a nurturing, creative, and stimulating environment. Our daughter started in the 2s class with Ms. Patrice “Ms. Trice” as her teacher, who my daughter loved. Ms. Patrice helped her potty train and set a great foundation. Ms. Patrice also spoke to us when we picked her up and informed us if my daughter had any days that needed improvement or if she needed correction. As hands on parents, my husband and I were delighted that the 2s class provided a daily log of my daughter’s activities, what she ate, how long she napped, and any additional information. As first time parents, this made us feel a part of her journey, even though we were not with her throughout the day. The daily log was also useful in helping us reinforce what she learned. My daughter is now in the 3s class with Ms. Sennie and Ms. Smith as her teachers. My daughter loves Ms. Sennie and Ms. Smith and on Mondays she gets excited to go school to tell Ms. Sennie and Ms. Smith what activities she had over the weekend. Sometimes, my daughter is the first to arrive, and Ms. Sennie is always warm, inviting, and patient, and she engages my daughter immediately when she enters the classroom. The same goes when I pick up my daughter, Ms. Smith is always understanding, engaging, and pleasant. She keeps me informed of my daughter’s day and school events. My daughter’s phonics teacher, Ms. Sandy is energetic and always takes time to inform me of my daughter’s progress and provides handouts for her to practice at home. At 3 years old, my daughter has an immense vocabulary, she speaks clearly, and is able to express herself. She is building a great education as she is exposed to a variety of subjects. KinderCare also provides daily artifacts of my daughter’s work and pictures of her that are proudly displayed on the fridge. We are grateful to Ms. Sennie, Ms. Smith, Ms. Patrice, and Ms. Sandy for the hard work, dedication, compassion, and special care and attention to my daughter’s overall development. We are also grateful to Ms. Tiffany and Ms. Raynita for their organization, who also inform us of our daughters progress and any issues, and who take special care and call us when our daughter is not feeling well. All the teachers named here and all the staff are greatly appreciated and my daughter is blessed to be a part of this school.

They take great care of the kids and are very supportive of learning.

I love this place. its where I started out
