I worked at KinderCare for around six or seven months during my senior year at Virginia Tech. Within my first month, I quickly came to realize the faculty, facility, and the kids were special. I was very sad to have to leave after graduation and would recommend Blacksburg South KinderCare to anyone!! My bosses Tammy and Sam were extremely diligent and hard working. I feel very appreciative to have had such a great experience working while being a full time student.

Please do not send your child here. I have both witnessed and heard of absolutely terrible things going on at this school. When my daughter first started we really liked it but as of this year it has been an absolute mess. -I walked in on a teacher grabbing and yelling at a boy in the 2 year old class. She didn't see me when I walked in and she made him cry terribly. It was heartbreaking. I told the director. "Investigation" was done. Nothing came of it so I pulled my son out of the class despite waiting months for a spot to become available for him. -One of the videos I got sent for Halloween 2021 shows a teacher yelling and grabbing a child in the background. Parents of current students please check your kindercare app, it's probably still on there. -I was pulling into the parking lot one day when I saw a boy around 5 years old running in front of the building unsupervised. He had jumped out of the window and no one noticed. Reported it to front desk who quickly ran out to get him. The director later asked me what happened and laughed it off saying the child wanted to leave early for his vacation to Fiji. -A former teacher told me that there was a child who was on the spectrum. She expressed concern to the director about his well-being and consistent crying as he wasn't adjusting well to the class. She was told to just leave him alone. -One afternoon my husband was picking up my daughter and greeted her new teacher when she told him "this is crazy... I'm not trained for this" referring to her job. Last I checked she is still at the school teaching a younger age group. I pulled out my son from this kindercare because he can't speak yet and I feared he wouldn't be able to tell me if something bad was happening. My daughter stayed because she had friends in class and she would report everything that went on. We moved this year and I wanted to spare her an unnecessary change. That is the only reason why I left her there. Also, I would like to add that I'm not blaming all the teachers. My daughter did have a few wonderful teachers many of whom left, unfortunately. I'm sure there are still good teachers there but management is terrible. It really is an absolute mess. I HIGHLY encourage putting your child in another school but if they have to stay at this kindercare PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE drop in at random times to check in on your child. Ask them about what they see everyday and what goes on.

We couldnt be happier with Kindercare South. The Director Tammy and all of her staff are very professional, curtious, and really do want the best for the kids. We started at the North location and switched when this one opened. Its been almost two years and our daughter has grown so much with them. We love the structured curicculum, time outside, healthy food options and the fact that they provide diapers and wipes is a huge plus. The app is nice too, I enjoy getting updates and pictures throughout the day and its a great way to communicate with teachers and parents. We delt with a pretty severe food allergie her first year there, and the staff was great at navigating that with us. They have handled the pandemic better than I could have hoped.

The best daycare we have ever used. My daughter has absolutely loved it and the staff is beyond amazing. I refer all my friends there and highly recommend them. My daughter also learns so much while she is there.

As a first time mom, questioning decisions comes naturally, but I have never questioned my decision to send my child to KinderCare. The app with near-real time updates is incredible. The teachers are top-notch and truly make you feel that your kid is part of a big happy family while they are there. I have no doubt that my child is having the best time and always comes home happy. He is learning and growing so much because of his time there.

I can't say enough about how professional and friendly the staff and teachers are at this daycare center. My daughter always enjoys her time in the classroom. She's happy to go to the daycare every morning and there are times when I pick her up, she would ask for couple of more minutes to play before we leave. I especially appreciate the daily communication from her teacher, Mrs. Grace, to inform us what the kids have been doing at the center and if there are any issues, we get the notes immediately. The prompt communication is essential for any business to be successful. For KinderCare in general, I truly believe this company is kids/family-centered. I still remember when the pandemic hit last March, I requested to have my daughter stay home and pay for holiday credit. And later the center was closed due to the concern of the pandemic. During that process, KinderCare decided not to charge any tuition, as a way to help the already troubled families. As far as I heard, many other daycares in the nearby areas still charged their families full tuitions even their centers were closed. It means a lot of cost to KinderCare but they did it anyway. Since then, I am truly a supporter of this company and this daycare center. Keep up with your good work!

I have been so comfortable and at ease knowing that the staff here is caring for my baby. After years of infertility struggles I would say I'm a bit of an anxious helicopter mom and everyone at Kindercare is so kind and understanding. They update the app in real time. They provide feedback quickly. They resolve issues should they arise and have the children in the forefront of their decisions. ? I couldn't be happier! Thank you, Kindercare Bburg!

This is hands down the best daycare. As a first time mom, it was very overwhelming to try to pick the place my little boy was going to stay every day and I have to say I am so thankful for my choice! Very thankful for KinderCare!

The absolute best! It's not just that my son loved going to "school" at KinderCare, he benefited tremendously. My son has a slight speech delay and the two things that have helped him along the most in his journey are speech therapy and Kinder Care. His time there was so beneficial. Everyone there is great. I just couldn't be happier with Tammy and her entire team. You can trust them. They're good folks that truly care.

As new parents Kindercare was a blessing for our family. My son started last year when he was just 7 months old. For us it was a very difficult decision to make because of how young he was and because we were in the middle of a pandemic, but since the moment we talked to them they were the best. Katrina received us for a tour outside the building and explained us all the details with her sweet and charismatic attitude. Since day one our boy loved this place. His first teacher was Miss Bhargavi and she is a sweetheart. Anytime that our son sees her he jumps to her arms and to be honest he loves ALL his teachers. They have the best attitude and they always have a smile for our boy and for us. their app is very helpful and the teachers always answer right away and have supported us when we have had questions or concerns and they patiently have worked with us when we need to adjust foods or naps. I only have good things to say about this location, about all the teachers and Tammy. We are moving out of town and leaving this location has been the hardest thing for us. our daycare standard is pretty high ?. We will definitely miss them enormously.

Kindercare is a great blessing for me because they take care of my daughter very well, and they are very trustworthy. I thank God for having my daughter in that kindergarten care.

My son has been going to this KinderCare since he was 9 weeks old and he loves it. He is always happy to arrive in the morning and he is generally in good spirits when I retrieve him in the afternoon (I mean, he is a toddler so he has his moods). The staff are always friendly and helpful when we have questions. They have navigated functioning during the COVID-19 pandemic fantastically by always being masked up, managing a tricky check-in/out situation where parents do not proceed beyond the front desk, and keeping things clean. I can't recommend this center enough!
