      Hello, My daughter recently left KinderCare last day she attended 4/26. We had informed the school several weeks prior that she would not be attending the summer program, but didn't have a hard date for last day. I emailed the school once we did have the date to inform them she would no longer be attending and my account was fully paid up. Now I am being billed for an additional week of tuition plus a summer program fee that I explicitly informed the school she would not be attending plus a late fee for a bill I should not have received in the first place. I have called and sent emails for weeks with no response. I was just informed today that they will not reconsider the charges because I didn't give sufficient notice, however I did inform them several weeks in advance that my daughter would not be staying on for the summer. We have paid all of our very significant tuition fees to KinderCare for several years for days our children didn't attend for vacation dates, for days/ weeks even during COVID when the school was closed. This is just bad business.

      Day one of my child here was appalling! My spouse failed to inform me of the code to get into the building that was unattended by any adult, yet was able to gain access inside from one of the children within after setting the alarm off by entering too many codes and ringing the bell constantly. As I entered the building smelled like nothing but baby f**** I had to venture through this building to find the outside playground and everyone there. Not one adult spoke to me and allowed me to just take my child without hesitation. NOT ONE WORD SPOKEN! This alone for me was scary to experience thinking of the easy compromise/ access to my child and no worries from the workers there not ever seeing or meeting me just taking this child just because she called out to me as I called for her. As for day 2 my child came home praising how she found a tree with red raspberries that taste amazing but are sour and how she ate a lot of them but not the green ones! So. Obviously not being watched and allowed to ingest things from plants and trees are ok with no account to possible allergies. Parents beware!
