I was so nervous about sending my son to daycare but all the wonderful teachers and staff here are so amazing & caring. Took away all my worries. My son loves going into school and I love seeing the smile on his face!

The teachers all seem very caring and are communicative about what my child is doing each day, lesson plans, and any changes that happen. My daughter loves going here. She has made friends and clearly trusts the teachers. Everyone Ive talked to has been welcoming and had a great attitude.

We love Desert Ridge KinderCare! The directors and reachers really have the kids’ best interests at heart and they’ve run the center so responsibly during Covid. When we were visiting places to decide where to send our daughter we were so impressed with Michele and Lorrin and how genuine and caring they are. We’ve had a wonderful experience! I love the app and getting photos and videos and updates from my daughter’s teacher throughout the day, and her grandmothers both love that they were also able to download the app and see photos of her when she’s there 3 days a week. We never have to worry one bit about whether or not our daughter is well cared for—she always has such a wonderful time there!

We currently have two kiddos at KinderCare (3.5 year old and a 1 year old) and I cant say enough good things about this center. They fill the days with so many activities; art, reading, outdoor play, and more and I know my kids are well engaged throughout the day. The teachers do a great job of updating the app with pictures and notes all day long. They have successfully adapted to new policies for covid19 and the center feels very clean and safe. I highly recommend Desert Ridge KinderCare!

Desert Ridge KinderCare has been terrific! We enrolled our daughter in July 2020, right during the pandemic, and were worried sick about sending her to daycare with the increased exposure risk. But we have been so happy with their work to keep our daughter and our family safe and healthy! Covid aside, Ms. Jill and Ms. Emma in the infant room have done a terrific job in not only taking care of our baby girl, but teaching her! As new parents, we have been beyond happy to see that they utilize a learning plan that involves age appropriate introduction of new toys and activities as well as time of the year specific things like playing with pumpkin seeds over Halloween. She also gets to play with paint and food, ride in a buggy with her buddies, and play with leaves outside in the sun. She is socializing and learning from her other infant friends and learning how to not be the complete center of attention like she is at home. Theyve been instrumental in helping provide tips and suggestions to us new parents about diaper rash, drool rash, nap time, swaddling, when to up her diaper size, and when to introduce foods and drinks. Nothing pushy, just really nice to learn as we go! Its been a safe space to take our daughter and we are delighted each day to follow her care on the app, look at the pictures they upload with explanations of what shes doing/learning that day, and the end of day report detailing all of her diapers, naps, and food/drink so we can see exactly what happened and figure out when she will need to nap/eat/drink next. Finally, they have been prompt and responsive to all questions we have asked, which we primarily do through the app with all things Covid right now. Responses have been thorough and immediate and requests have consistently been fulfilled. We cannot say enough good things and would happily recommend this center, Jill, Emma, and Michelle to entrust with the care of other peoples precious children.

We absolutely love Desert Ridge KinderCare. Our son is in Pre-K here and has been here since he was 16 months. We feel lucky that weve had him somewhere for so long that has poured into and nurtured our little guy.*Side note- new management has brought new life to this center. We loved it before but there is a fun breath of fresh air around here.Thanks for loving our little guy, DR KinderCare!

My granddaughter has gone to Kindercare for two years. The teachers and directors are kind, nurturing and fun. The programs have been beneficial in her preschool education. I’m thankful we found such a wonderful daycare!

My son has been enrolled here for almost 3 years and my daughter attends when school is not in session. The teachers are extremely caring, professional, and always willing listen to any concerns/questions. The director, Michele, is fabulous! Shes always available to chat about programs, plans, or just a check-in on how my littles are progressing. I couldnt be happier with the care my kids receive here!

We have been bringing our son and daughter since they were each 14 months old ( now 4 and 2). The staff there has always been extraordinarily professional and most importantly responsive. Our son and daughter are so excited to go and excited to tell us what they learned each day. My only hope is that their primary school teachers will be just as good as the educators here.

New management and teachers are poorly trained. There is a lot of drama going on between them and it definitely affects how they care for children. Unfortunately instead of help you will receive blame. They need to hire better motivated and educated people and let go others. We are happy that we’ve found another daycare!

My kids have been at Desert Ridge Kindercare for the last 12 months and I cannot compliment this center enough. The teachers have been excellent, caring, responsive and encouraging with our Pre-Schooler and Pre-K child.I have never worried about their safety or care while they have been there. During the COVID pandemic our choices as parents have been difficult, but the Management have made every effort to accomodate and reassure parents.My kids have learnt so much while they have been here both academically and socially. If you are considering childcare in this area - this should be your choice!

I love this daycare!! They are truly dedicated to give children the BEST CARE! They have daily schedules they give you with a break down of meals they’ll be having, as well as special days such as farm day, mix match, hat day stuff that gets the kids excited!!! They have unique activities every week ! Teachers are highly professional& caring!! They always make sure my son feels happy! He used to cry upon arriving for mom and dad and I would see the love they showed him, and I knew he was super happy for the reason that whenever I went to pick him he didn’t want to leave!! lol he was really happy going every day and now he doesn’t cry at all ! he loves his teachers, takes naps during nap time, and plays well with others!I’m beyond happy I found Kindercare! We live in the city of Goodyear and i do not mind the 45 min drive because i know my son is in great hands!!Thank you Kinder-care for everything you guys do!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this day care and all the staff!! Son started 3 months ago and I feel so safe leaving my infant with them :) he started there at 10 week old. My Raquel is the best!! I knocked off a star because there scholarship program ended( not there fault I guess ) and there prices are pretty ridiculous... $300 a week for infant care is way to much and Im supper sad I have to leave this day care :( But if you can afford it they all rock here

This Kinder care stands out in child care.Teachers are highly professional & trained.Director on the premise is an outstanding professional.I didnt realize this unless id to change cities for my 2.5 year old & get to know other child care centers.Just cant say how much I miss Kindercare Desert Ridge.For Kids:There are unique activities every week, interesting learning experiences, i just remember reptile day/Dino Day & fire truck days... There were many more.My kid (now 3) is doing the activities in his new out of city day care, the one he used to do n year back in kinder care desert ridge.Kudos to good management & amazing care!

I have a different daycare organization in my neighborhood that I could walk to. I work from home and drive at least 35 minutes round trip twice a day to take my son to and from Kindercare Desert Ridge. He has been there since he was 11 weeks old and is now 2.5. From the moment I walked in the door, I knew it was the right place for my child. The staff truly care about the well-being of the children and my child has learned so much in his very short time there. There is no where else I would take him.
