Kinderoo Preschool, Altamonte Springs | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I honestly don’t know where to begin. I am a mom of 5 and have never been ok with putting my kids in a daycare setting, i was, and am, a protective mom and always wanted in-home daycare. I was in a position where i needed care for my 2 year old while I worked. My 2 yr old is on the autistic spectrum and has a microdeletion on chromosome, which has posed challenges for him. I went to several daycares in the area and well-known ones. All turned him away. He is not a difficult child, but he had texture issues and wouldn’t eat many foods, nonverbal, and other health issues that even with a Dr’s note, these daycares wouldn’t accept him. I came across kinderoo. I went in and toured the facility and expressed my concerns to the director, melissa. She was able to convince me he would be ok and they would be willing to work with him. Given his issues, she started him off with 1 yr Olds to see how he would do. He had early steps therapy come to the daycare to do their sessions, and that was never an issue. There was a transition period with him for about the first month and a half, and every morning, they would take him with care and would calm him down. They even had patience with him on his rough days. They have been fantastic with redirecting him. He grew and excelled so much in just the first couple of months being there they moved him up to his age group, the 2 yr Olds. His 1s teacher, ms. Kristen and 2’s teacher Ms Debi have been phenomenal with him as well as all the other staff members. They treat him like one of their own, and as a mom, I couldn’t ask for a better daycare to bring my child too. My son loves it here, loves the teachers and staff members, and loves his friends he’s made here, even the fish in the fish tank as you walk in. I have had personal issues going on, and with communication with Ms. Melissa, she understood and was very accommodating during that time. The daycare is kept very clean and organized. I’ve never had an issue with my son coming home dirty, and trust me, he sure can make a mess, ?????, but even on these days, they have been patient with him. It is on a side street so there isn’t much traffic and I love that. They have a large play area and toys, of which I know my son loves. I literally have no complaints, and I couldn’t be more grateful for finding this daycare and the care they give my son. If you’re looking for a daycare that will treat your child as one of their own and has an extreme amount of patience, this is definitely the daycare for you.

My son was 10 months old and went there for about 6 months. At first it seemed ok, but my son needed some extra help with eating and using his utensils. I asked the teacher why he kept coming home with a dirty shirt and she said oh, he does not hold his silverware correctly and I have other children to tend to. I brought this to the owner, Angela’s attention and she stated, oh he should not be coming home with a dirty shirt. Red flag, In my eyes my sons development is way more important than a dirty shirt. The last week my son was there, he fell and hit his head..they let my mother pick him up and did not explain anything that happened. My mom walked back in and had to wait for 20 mins while they went around a created an incident report, once completed..it stated he fell and bumped his head. That is very vague and I was not given any details from a teacher. None the less I am happy that he no longer attends school there. I wrote the owner a letter expressing my concerns and received no response, I would not recommend this daycare. Hopefully my review is useful when parents are choosing a daycare for their children.

DO NOT send your child to this facility. The only teacher there who actually shows a genuine love and care for the children is ms.Carmen. The front office is a MESS. The director has no idea what she’s doing. There have been multiple times where she tacked on unknown fees and charges- has missed payments on the printouts- to make it seem as though there was missing payments. She is unprofessional and doesn’t carry herself well AT ALL. If you deal specifically with her you wouldn’t even feel comfortable leaving your child in the building at all. She is trash, and so is this facility. Very rude and unfriendly staff once you do a few pop ups without them knowing. ESPECIALLY the director. Don’t waste your money on this unruly place
