Kindercare centers

[Anonymous]

A new kindercare is coming to Glover Park. What is the general reputation for kindercare centers?? Do they retain their staff? How’s their curriculum?

Thanks!

Ask how much they pay the workers...
Minimum wage? Any benefits?

We've been to three Kindercares (thanks, military) two of which where in DC. It really depends on the Center. We've had three great experiences with our son. We attended a newer one in DC, they used the app (which I prefer to paper sheets) and did a really good job communicating with parents. We loved the teachers there and there wasn't a retention problem (although it was a newer center so everyone was newly hired in the last year). It was also the most expensive one by far because it was in downtown DC. We attend a federal one now which is still nice and has pretty low teacher turnover. We've been lucky with the center directors and teachers in all three - they were very responsive and helpful. I'd take a tour and see how things are - it is so dependent on who is leading the center/the work environment in that sense. Good luck!
