June 2022 by Honesty I.
Worked at this center for about 2 years, very underpaid, started at 11/hour and fought for the 13/hour that I wound up leaving with. Very sad that people working for this company who do so much for so little pay. On top of it all, it was very hard to take off even with more than a two weeks notice, and very inconvenient and inconsistent with breaks, there were multiple times I was told 5 minutes before my break that it was changed to a later time or that I wouldn't even be receiving one that day. They would also change the schedule on everyone for the next week with out notice, and even though they sent out two weeks of schedules, they would change the second weeks schedule every week, so basically you wouldn't know what your hours were til the Friday before the next week for the upcoming week. Also to mention with all of this being said, even if I were scheduled to leave before close, I NEVER got out on time, and the one acting asistant director told me to let her know when I had things scheduled after my leaving time (knowing that I never got out on time) so she could try to get me out close enough to the time I had something scheduled. Even then there were MULTIPLE times my schedule said 8 to 5 and I had something scheduled at 6 and missed it due to them not allowing me to leave at scheduled time. Which made making appointments very hard since I never got to leave on time and also due to the schedule changed EVERY week. I'm not even going to start sharing how incredibly rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional most of the staff were, if I did, this review would take you a long time to read. I could go on and on but to keep it short and honest, I'll just end with this food for thought...just driving around locally places like McDonald's and Dunkin are offering benefits and 15/hour for a starter position. Luckily I found an assistant teaching job locally that started me at 17 an hour and benefits, and helps with schooling every year. My new place of employment also has consistent break times and rarely changes the schedule on me, and when they do change it on the rare occasion, they notify me in advance and let's me take off when needed. So basically if you want to be treated unfairly and get underpaid, work at kindercare in newtown. Thanks!

We can't say enough positive things about our family's experience with KinderCare. Not only is the staff kind, communicative, and on the ball, our daughter absolutely loves being there and learns so much each day. We're only there part-time, but they treat us with the same quality of care and provide the same level of support. They are even willing to work with our daughter's speech therapist one-on-one to integrate her learning. I love the constant updates, photos, and reports through the app, too. Our daughter is happy, safe, and enriched at KinderCare and that means the world to us as parents. We love KC!

I have had a wonderful experience since enrolling my son in February. The staff made the transition very easy after having my son home for 9 months. They are so responsive and truly care for my sons needs. I feel so comfortable sending him in everyday and know that he’s well taken care of!

I can’t sing enough praise for KinderCare Newtown! The teachers are warm, supportive, flexible and extremely responsive. My kids love spending days here, and leave each evening brimming with stories to share. Really appreciate how the teachers go the extra mile to make everyone feel like part of the family. Highly recommend!!

Great experience. My son has been going to kindercare full time for 3 years. I think their teachers are great, the administrative staff is responsive, and they are great with communicating with parents during the day with pictures and reports. I have been happy with their programming and with my son's development. I am very happy to recommend them.

The staff really care about our babies. As a first time mom it was hard to leave my son after being home with him for the first 6 months. The staff are very patient and caring with my son. It is reassuring to know he is in good hands while I’m not with him. They are clean and organized. Everyone from the director and assistant director to the full staff are all so nice and accommodating.

Kindercare has been wonderful for my granddaughter. The teachers are caring and thorough. She is getting a great educational experience, and the teachers communicate with us with daily reports. Aubree looks forward to going to school and playing with her friends. The center has been very cooperative in helping us with some issues we have had outside of the center.
