Disclaimer: My child was with them for a year and a half from infant to toddler. This review is based off comparison to my child who is now 4 months in his new school. PROS: + Best teachers from infant-toddler: Ms. Alma, Ms. Caitlin & Ms. Susan. Our absolute #1 is Ms. Alma. + Convenience of time. 6:30 am till 6:00 pm. CONS: - POOR TEACHER TO STUDENT RATIOS. In the toddler classes, it is (1:12-16) 1 teacher to 12-16 students at a time. Teachers were often overwhelmed & stressed. My child was often placed in different classes throughout the day to accommodate staffing & had multiple different or teachers rotating throughout the day. Not conducive for stability. Now we are at a school that's 1:4 ratio. - EXPENSIVE TUITION. Tuition based is not worth the price for the poor student to teacher ratio. We were paying almost $500 a week with them. - AT RISK FOR GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT DELAY (GDD). Due to poor staffing ratios, my child often was placed in the infant room for extended periods of time till I address it. - NO AUTISM INCLUSION. Most of the teachers weren't inclusive to autism. Center director basically told us that he needed 1:1 ABA while at the center. I can tell you now that he is in a class where it's 12 students & 1:4 ratio, he is absolutely thriving without 1:1. - SICK ALL THE TIME. My child literally had hand foot mouth disease and/or a cough/cold every 2-3 months. It was frequent to the point my child was in urgent care often. At the new school, my child has only gotten sick once & not gotten HFMD. - FREQUENT INJURY OCCURRENCE. My child has gotten bitten or bruised frequently. There is one incident that my child had a bruise on forehead that lasted for days. As a nursing professional myself, the bruise was atypical & unacceptable. They had no explanation, did not notify us parents and or even witnessed the incident. Investigator by community care licensing stated they did not violate anything. OVERALL: We absolutely loved the teachers we mentioned. However, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL. Our telltale sign was that our child was nonverbal, had global development delay & would have meltdowns going into the toddler classroom. Within 1 month of our child in the new school, our child is thriving, speaking, and is now meeting developmental milestones. Absolutely loves going to the new school. Please look at community care licensing complaints they've had. We wished we knew this before he was even enrolled in there. We strongly believe the teachers deserves better ratios, better implementation on cleaning & infection control practices...just everything.

This KinderCare has been amazing to all my children. I have been with them since 2018 I believe, and their team is great. Mrs. Blanca, who is the director, is always helpful with any questions I have or concerns. My new baby who started when she was a little before 2 years old, loves and enjoys coming here. Mrs. Lupe is her teacher now and is amazing along with the others who help direct her class and educate our children. Mrs. Lupe speaking Spanish to my little one is also amazing because it expands her speech and helps her become more fluent in both languages. Also, when she was in the infant's class all the teachers were amazing and loving! I don't trust any other daycare with my children, and I have never had to try or experience other because this has been it for my little family. Thank you all for what you do for my littles! May God bless you all and your families. :) -Kasandra W

Lacking communication and not a great place for preschoolers. Perhaps the other grades are better. As far as teachers Mrs Tricia seems great however Mrs Bernadette does not seem to care to be there. Looks uninterested even when speaking to her.

We're writing this review with hearts full of gratitude for the incredible team at KinderCare. They've truly become our boys' second family, providing a loving, nurturing, and educational environment that has been instrumental in their development. From the moment we stepped into the center, we were met with warmth and kindness. The teachers have gone above and beyond to understand our boys' unique personalities and needs. They've fostered a love of learning, encouraged their creativity, and helped them build strong social skills. We're especially grateful for the center director and assistant director for their leadership, dedication, and unwavering support. They've created a positive and inclusive atmosphere where every child feels valued and respected. Thank you, KinderCare, for being more than just a daycare. You've given our boys a place where they can thrive, learn, and make lifelong memories. We're truly blessed to have you as part of our family.

KinderCare Murrieta has been wonderful since the first day I walked in for a tour. I immediately felt a welcoming and inclusive environment. The director and her staff have always been very compassionate, understanding, accommodating, loving and caring with our son. We especially appreciate all the small things that the staff members do for our son. Those acts of kindness may seem small but they make a big difference and show that attention is being given to details. Our son has been attending KinderCare since he was two and is now in prekindergarten. He loves his teachers and classmates and looks forward to going to school every day. One of the main reasons we chose KinderCare is because of their accreditation and academic curriculum. Our son is acquiring all the knowledge, skills and abilities for his age and will be well prepared to transition into kindergarten successfully. We love the KinderCare application because it is updated throughout the day with our son's academic progress, activities, meals and pictures of what he is doing. It is also an additional tool to be able to communicate with his teacher or the director. KinderCare has taken all the necessary steps and recommendations to reduce the risk of COVID-19. We were allowed to take our son out of school at the onset of the pandemic without being charged for tuition, were kept informed about the status of the virus's impacts on the school during his absence and he was able to return once we felt comfortable and saw KinderCare successfully implement the safety measures to avoid contagion. Our son has been back in school since June and we have not gotten sick due to their safety and sanitary measures. We look forward to enrolling our one-year-old daughter in the near future. Thank you KinderCare Murrieta staff for everything you do for our son, family and community.
