I reviewed KinderCare McMurray 3 years ago when our son was 2 years old (that review is under this one), but I wanted to update the review now that our son is now 5 years old and will be attending Kindergarten in the fall.KinderCare McMurray has been amazing. The Preschool age teachers are very engaged, really care about the kids (not just their development), and do an amazing job working with parents to work through different situations and maintain a high level of engagement. Through the guidance of these amazing teachers, our son has learned so much not only about numbers/letters/arts and crafts/how the world works, but also social and emotional skills.The Center Director, Dana Davin is truly exceptional. She is incredibly responsive to requests, is very proactive, and is solution oriented and always more than willing and able to help us in a way that has driven amazing resultse for our son and us. She has helped with different situations around how our son is progressing in the classroom, and has even helped us with guidance and things she has seen work well for situations and behaviors that we have seen at home as well. She is an invaluable resource with so much credible, intuitive lessons and best practices she has seen work well with children over her extensive experience. She has helped us drive some positive and significant outcomes for us and our son.Overall, the center is run extremely well, the teachers have been amazingly engaged and caring, the Center Director (defintely the teachers as well) is/are so knowledgable on what they have seen work well with children and I feel extremely confident in recommending this center to anyone and expecting that they receive a similarly amazing experience to what we have experienced.____Where do I start! Our son has been at Kindercare for two years now (He is two years old) and all of the teachers that have taken care of our son have been loving, caring, and respectful. It has been really easy to trust them. Our son learns more than we could imagine, he comes home being able to say new words and sing new songs that we did not teach him.The administration team is wonderful. They are very responsive and help us so much with our questions, which has been especially crucial during covid-19. They help keep us up to date with our son's care. All in all we could not be happier with the Kindercare McMurray team. We have no hesitation in recommending them.

We absolutely love KinderCare in McMurray! Dana, the Director there is super friendly and always so helpful! We love all the teachers there, too. You can tell they really care for your child, like an extended family. We are so happy our child goes here, and we are excited to see all the fun activities and lessons learned ahead!

Leaving your child in the hands of someone who isn’t technically family, can be stressful and scary. When our daughter started kindercare, she was 5lbs and fresh out of the nicu as a 2 month old. I couldn’t ask for a better group of directors and teachers to care for my daughter during the day while my husband and I are working. We get updates and pictures throughout the day, which makes us feel like we are still apart of her day! They are super communicative, caring, supportive, and will go out of their way to make you feel involved.

From the moment our daughter started at KinderCare McMurray, we have been impressed by the service we’ve received. To begin, the teachers and staff always promptly respond to any questions or messages we may have regarding the timing of pickup, absences, curriculum, etc. Moreover, the facility itself is clean and tidy. In looking around each classroom, you’ll find age appropriate toys and books, each organized and in a place where the children can easily access and engage with them. The KinderCare app is user-friendly and well utilized by the teachers and staff. Impressively, we almost always receive multiple photos and videos everyday featuring our smiling daughter. Beyond the reassurance that she’s having a good time, this also allows us to see what she’s learning and reiterate those same concepts at home. Most importantly, each teacher our daughter has had at KinderCare has been exceptionally kind and caring. The teachers are warm and loving, yet also strive to provide an academically rich environment. Our daughter loves going to school in the morning knowing she’ll see her teachers, sing original songs, eat yummy nutritional food, and play alongside her toddler buddies. Class activities are fun and engaging, and our daughter’s vocabulary and ability to string together sentences have exponentially grown since starting at KinderCare. To reinforce our daughter’s learning, the teachers provide us helpful feedback as to our daughter’s progress and ways we can support the same at home. Knowing she’s in capable hands has brought us peace of mind when we part with her each weekday morning. The Director, Dana, and her team work hard to be the premier daycare for the McMurray and surrounding areas, and their dedication and attention to detail is evident in their exceptional center. My husband and I are grateful for the supportive environment we’ve found at KinderCare.

Can’t say enough good things about the staff and the facility. We’ve been extremely happy with the care and nurturing our daughter receives at Kindercare. As a parent it’s assuring to know she’s safe and happy while we are not around her!! Couldn’t imagine sending our daughter anywhere but here ?

We love the McMurray Kindercare! The staff always was welcoming and treated my child like he was their own. I love the activities that they did throughout the day and that I would get pictures consistently showing what he was doing! I would recommend this daycare to any family or friend and couldn't be happier with the decision to have them care for our son during the day.

We have been sending our child here, to the Mcmurray location since 18m. We have been very pleased with everything. From the cleanliness and professionalism, to the education and care of my child, everything has been top notch. I feel 100% comfortable leaving my child here and know she is being well cared for. Now more than ever, the center has been going above and beyond to make sure our children are staying healthy.

After having gone through a terrible experience with another daycare, McMurray Kindercare was like a breath of fresh air - teachers and administrators that truly care, a varied curriculum, and a safe environment for my child to grow - even more so, they were able to accommodate the immediate timing and duration of our placement needs.

This school is wonderful! There are great teachers who have worked there for many, many years. There is not a lot of turnover with the staff, which is usually pretty common at day cares. The directors run a great program filled with great activities. Each age group has a specific curriculum, and I feel like my children are getting a great educational foundation. They also work with you on any challenges. I started at KinderCare coming off a bad experience at the Goddard School and couldn’t believe the immediate difference we experienced at KinderCare. I highly recommend this location.

Definitely the best choice for our family. My son has been a student here for a year and has truly excelled! The summer programs are unmatched!!! The staff truly cares about the children, and their progression something other programs/curriculums weren’t as adamant about! My son loves his teachers, and the fun interactive weekly themes they come up with!! Cookie Friday!! is what I look forward too!!

We enrolled our daughter here at 7 months and she is now almost 2. Every teacher she has had has gone above and beyond for her and I feel so glad knowing she has a fantastic group of educators around her all day. They always keep me in the loop with activities and any changes they see and are so thoughtful and understanding of parents as well. My little one also participates in some of their extra programs (a music class) and LOVES it. I am so grateful for them!

Making a child care decision was not easy but upon our initial visit to Kindercare (McMurray) we knew it was the right decision for our family and we stand by that decision years later.The foundation of core educators, all extremely professional, passionate about learning and invested in our child’s learning as well as the safety, nutritional and curriculum standards of McMurray Kindercare are best in class.
