Powell Butte KinderCare

My wife, baby and I had a very bad experience at this place and we didn't even go in. We are looking for daycare for our one year old baby. We had an appointment at 10am at this place to see the facilities and talk to the staff. We arrived 10 minutes early and were outside the place for almost half an hour. Nobody answered the door or answered the phone. This is very frustrating because we had to ask for time off at work to get to know the place and they didn't even open the door for us. This is a bad sign and is not acceptable. To be honest I'm glad this happened because now we know that this is not the right place for our son.

I used to work here as a pre-school teacher, and I just want to let parents know that if you have a child with any special needs, behavioral, educational, medical, etc, this is not the best place for them to go. The staff, to no fault of there own, are not trained or equipped with the proper resources or training to help support your child, and management is usually too busy to support their needs and come up with any consistent plans.

My son has been going to this daycare since he was 6 months old. I too, thought that this was an exceptional daycare until 2 weeks ago (3/14/23). My two year old toddler was able to breach a gate and make it to the sidewalk, inches away from the parking lot where he could have been snatched or hit by a car. Not even two weeks now and my two year old walks out of the building two days in a row! He walked out of an unsecured door. And their course of action is to EXPEL my TODDLER for his "behavior". If you care about your family's well-being, stay far away from this place. They only care about their licensing. Not once did they offer an apology that something serious could have happened to my son. CPS and corporate Kindercare is launching investigations for child endangerment.

Hello Nancy, I just want to send you and your wonderful staff the biggest THANK YOU! our daughter has only been there for 4 days, and it is already a night and day difference from our previous daycare. Prior to coming to Kindercare there had been a number of red at her old school. She stopped talking about the other kids, and she would say things like teacher is mean or X kid was bad today. Then, she started to regress in her potty training. She started to act ashamed about accidents and embarrassed when we would try to get her to go. That is not the case here! Each of the 4 days she had been with you, she has come home happy, she says she loves her teachers, and she is talking about her friends at her new school. Today, after our morning potty, she told me she wants to wear big girl underwear, and doesnt want to go potty in pull-ups anymore! We have had a successful potty break and a tiny accident, but we made sure that she knew it was okay. Thank you so so much! It means the world to us to know that our daughter is happy, and well taken care of! Your staff is amazing! Thank you!

If I could give more stars, I would. Its never an easy decision to enroll children in day care and then choosing the right one is even harder! I definitely feel like Powell KinderCare was the right choice. The staff all feel like family and my kids absolutely love their teachers! My son is two and has come out of his shy little shell so much and I'm blown away every day by the things he is learning. My daughter will be one in July and she lights up with excitement when I drop her off and has reached so many milestones since she started here in October. We are so happy that we found a place with people we trust who care about our kids!
