“For the last 3 1/2 years, MKK has been my daughter's home away from home. Every single day she wakes up wanting to go to school. Every single day she learns something new she needs to tell me about. She plays hard, she explores her feelings, she has never had a single problem.
Unfortunately she is moving on to kindergarten this year, and I can only hope she never has the fire of learning put out that MKK has nurtured.
Every single interaction I have had with the staff has been positive, I can not say enough good things.”
“I’m really happy about this kinder care location, Shannon and the rest of the staff on both sides are absolutely great no doubt, definitely met and crushed expectations for me.”
“Worked with Starletta the manager and Anna in person and had a great time working through some visitations per temporary parenting plan. You can apply for a sliding scale pricing based on income and they were very flexible and empathetic and helped me through that transition with kindness.”
“The communication is amazing here and all of the updates throughout the day make it more comfortable to leave your child in their care. All the food updates, diaper checks and pictures ease your mind knowing they’re good and happy!”
“My son attended here as his first daycare at 2 years. He had a hard time being separated from me but the staff was supportive, patient and caring. He moved to the 2.5+ class and took some time getting used to it but he did fine with the help of the staff. Ms. Melanie and Ms. Miranda were great with my son and always made sure he was safe. The center was accommodating and very kind about my schedule and understanding of our particular needs. It was so nice to find a place that offered part time.”
“We came here after having a really bad experience with a different daycare and were so thrilled with our time here. Our son is in the toddler room and his teacher, Ms. Tanea, is so sweet and our son clearly enjoys his time with her. So many less tears with drop off and pick up than our prior place!
The directors, Wyleen and Stacy are wonderful and the entire staff greets you and your child by name every single day when you walk in the door. The difference was obvious, just by how my son responded in being there, and it felt like a school where he was actually learning life skills, rather than just a supervised play space.
I would absolutely recommend them to anyone with daycare needs. They are a fantastic team!!”
“My son has been attending this school since he was 1 year and 11 months old, and now he is already 5 years old. He loves this school so much and has grown up here with so many happy memories. As he prepares to start kindergarten, he keeps saying he doesn’t want to leave his teachers because he loves them dearly.
The teachers here are incredibly caring, patient, and dedicated. They always make the children feel safe, loved, and supported. I’m truly grateful for everything they have done for my son and our family. Thank you for creating such a warm and wonderful environment for the children.”
“I have two little ones come to bright champs. One is 1 1/2 and other 4 and they are striving campares to there last daycare. I strongly recommend this school 5 stars for me”
“We had our kids at another KinderCare before this, and the difference is honestly night and day. At the previous location, it never felt like our kids’ education—or even their well-being—really mattered. Hearing negative things being said about my son by leadership was upsetting and ultimately a big reason we knew we needed a change. So we did...
This center has been everything we were hoping for and more. The staff here are kind, patient, and genuinely care about the kids. You can feel it the moment you walk in. They’re not just watching the kids—they’re teaching them, engaging them, and helping them grow in a way that actually prepares them for Kindergarten.
My kids come home happy. They’re excited. They tell me about what they learned and the fun things they did that day, and that alone says everything.
Right now, my twins are in two different classes, and their teachers, Mrs. Bonnie and Miss Grace, have been incredible. They truly care, and it shows in how they interact with the kids every single day.
The leadership makes a big difference too. Jenny and Bre have created such a welcoming environment—my kids literally run in to hug them every morning.
Switching to this center was one of the best decisions we’ve made. I finally feel confident that my kids are in the right place and are prepared for the next step in education, Kindergarten! Thank you Meridian Kindercare team! You have no idea how appreciated you all are!”
“My 21 year old son went here when he was 3 years old until about 9, as well as my teenage son. My younger kids go there now. The director and owner are amazing I’ve known them for over 18 years. Everyone there is like a family. There are special parties for the kids, they get ice cream parties and pizza parties, huge Easter egg hunts, have the animal petting zoo come visit. They are affiliated with the peirce county library and have a librarian come every Friday to do a special circle time. I wouldn’t have my kids anywhere else!!”
“My son has been in this daycare from 1 to his current age which is 2 1/2 . In this short period of time my son has learned how to count to 10, work on his colors, has a high social development skill, and has also learned how to share and has compassion for others. And is in the process of potty training.
The teachers are absolutely amazing and the kids adore them. They have an amazing communication with not only the kids but also the parents. I love this daycare and hearing all the fun things that happen everyday when I pick my son up. Im so greatful for all the work these lady's do and appreciate every single one of them !”
“This review is long overdue! We enrolled our son at just 7 months old, and from day one we knew we had found something truly special. Now at 26 months, he is thriving and we couldn't be more grateful!
The consistency of care as he's grown has been remarkable. He's moved through several classrooms as he hit new milestones, and every transition has been seamless, each teacher warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in him. He comes home learning new words and skills regularly, and we've watched him hit development milestones with confidence.
The center is secure, clean, and well-supervised, and his teachers communicate proactively about his day and progress.
The director, Ms. Terria, is the heart of it all, welcoming, knowledgeable, easy to reach, and clearly devoted to the students, staff, and families.
We couldn't recommend this place more highly to any family looking for a daycare/preschool center they can truly trust.”
“I’ve had a good experience so far my son loves them he does have attachment issues and they work with me to help him when he gets dropped off . The staff is great never had problems”
“My son started going to daycare here when he was 10 months old after changing him daycares three different times before I FINALLY found kreative kidz in Lakewood. My son is now almost 3 and will attend this daycare until he goes to school. Ms.Mary is absolutely amazing, so sweet, very communicative and always makes sure I am notified if anything happens. The staff at kreative kidz are so amazing, every single one of them always welcome my son with a smile and he always leaves with a smile and is happy as ever! I absolutely love kreative kidz they all remind me of a big family , wouldn’t take my son anywhere else after finding them! Huge shoutout to Ms.Blanca & Ms.Raquel as well, they make me feel at peace dropping my son off everyday knowing he will be well taken care of.”
“My child has recently finished their first year at this preschool and Mrs. Sam has been great. The other parents at scp have been easy to get along with. There is always an awesome craft or art piece that they come home with.
It's been great seeing how fast all of the kids are developing their minds and social skills. Scp has also helped provide a gentle environment in which I can see how my child is doing and stay with them if it's needed.
My child is excited to go back to this school and seeing the friends they have made in the fall and I am looking forward to seeing all the fun they will have at school next year!”
“My son has been attending this center for roughly two years with my oldest son attending a couple years before that before going into kindergarten.
With both of my boys, we have had nothing but amazing experiences with this center. The staff and teachers are kind and truly care about the well-being of the children. Between both of my sons, they have been in almost every classroom in the center and we’ve had the same experience - kindness, respect, and fun education provided by every teacher.
In the mornings when we walk in the center, we are greeted with the biggest ‘good morning’ followed by my son’s name, from anyone in the office. The director and assistant director are always available to help provide assistance, feedback, or just a listening ear if I ever have a question or concern regarding my son’s education or development.
As a parent my biggest goal is ensuring my kids are loved, safe, happy, and healthy, with a good foundation for their future. This center has been all of that and some. My son learned how to spell his name at just two years old! That is solely because of the dedicated teachers that are here.
I have personally recommended this center to many family and friends and will continue to recommend to anyone I can. The teachers and staff have become a part of our family and we are forever grateful!”

“Great school pool!! Was wonderful when it was open for the community: classes, lessons, family swim, birthday parties. Hopefully it will be open to the community again sometime soon.”
“I love this center and all the staff! I had 3 kids under 5 there at one time!
I always felt communicated with and my kids are always happy!
It’s hard to find people to trust your babies and I know they were in good hands always!
I brought them here because the last center we used, had illness after illness.
They clean regularly and every Friday they deep clean.
It helps a lot!”
“Came in for a tour earlier this month for my four year old son and was amazed by the team and leadership! This was in the middle of lunch but the director was very fun and informative on the center which was a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately the commute is too far but I loved the entire atmosphere!”
“My kids went here for a few months in 2016. They absolutely loved it here. We were always pleased with staff and the up keep of the property.Wish we could have kept our kids here unfortunately we moved too far away.”
“Gingerbread Daycare has been the best choice for me and my daughter! My daughter enjoys telling me about her day with her friends and teachers! I’m very thankful for the staff, I can trust that I leave my daughter in good hands when I drop her off.”

“Cascade Christian Early Learning Center has been nothing short of a blessing. The staff is caring, observant, and friendly. The teachers are present, and invested. The curriculum is sound. The cost is very affordable in this age of inflation. The location is convenient. There is a sense of community; it is a community! To give some perspective, our first child has also been to Kinder care , and Bright horizons. When we switched from Bright Horizons , which is Excellent ($$$), we were unsure if the quality of education and care would be the same. I am pleased to announce, Cascade has exceeded our expectations. So much so that we're bringing out second child to learn and grow here. We are fortunate and enriched because of Cascade. Really pleased, and I know several of the other parents who take their kids here are pleased as well.”
“Both my kids have attended this day care, the relationships I have grown with the teachers are great. And Ms. Jennifer ms. Dorthy & Ms. Pam rock! 10/10 I do recommend ?”
“My son has been going to this facility since he was 8 months old he is almost 5yrs old, the staff is wonderful and they have taken very good care of my child all of these years!!”
