We had our infant in Kinderberry from March 2021 to July 2021, unfortunately we moved out of town so we had to switch daycares otherwise we would have never left. This place is the best, the staff are all very friendly and caring and the teachers care a lot about the kids and make sure they have a great time every day. They have an app you download and they fill it with pictures of the kids doing activities and eating/sleeping updates. They have the kids do art and send it home for the parents sometimes. They do outdoor time when weather permits, swim day, etc. Kinderberry has an advantage over other daycares because they have their own formula, food, diapers, wipes, etc so you don't need to drop that off each day for them, it's included in your tuition. It is pretty spendy, but you definitely get what you pay for so it's worth it. Highly recommend!
Seven years ago we toured 6 daycare facilities. As we were walking in to KBH Plymouth, knowing it was the most expensive, one of us said “This better knock our socks off.” We were impressed with the rooms, the curriculum, the big gym area inside, the outdoor play area, the pediatric AED (we both work in healthcare) and overall the behavior of all of the children. The environment was amazing and impressive. As we walked out the door we were silent and then one of us said “Well, my socks are clear across the parking lot.”
We have two daughters that have experienced KBH Plymouth. One was there for the 5 years before Kindergarten and our other daughter is almost 4 years old. We love the curriculum. Both girls have had Spanish and sign language education since they were 3 months old. They learned how to wash their hands and brush their teeth well before their second birthday. Nurse Heidi teaches them about germs, anatomy (using a real skeleton) and our older daughter has taught us the finer points of the solar system. Manners, learning to do things on their own and creativity are also educational focuses. Our 3 1/2 year old was so proud yesterday to show us her paper gingerbread man and explain to us all of the different steps she took to make him. She then pointed out to her 6 year old sister how well she wrote her name on the back.
We feel extremely blessed to have found Kinderberry Hill Plymouth and have always known that our girls are in good hands while we are at work. As Essential Workers this has been critical in 2020 when we’ve had to be at work and needed child care that provided not only love and support, but the opportunity to learn.
My kids have gone hear for years (3.5yo and 1.8yo). Kinderberry Plymouth is the best! Jodi (Director) runs a tight ship. I can't think of a better option for our childeren to be safe, educated, and stimulated! It's not even close... Send your kids her if you can.
Our family couldn’t be happier with Kinderberry Hill. The teachers, staff, facility and programs are fabulous. Everyday when we pull up, our kids are excited to see their school with the “purple roof.” It’s their second home, and the care and learning that takes place in their classroom(s) is second to none.
There’s no question that leaving your kids in the hands of others is tough for parents, but we feel confident that they are in the best of hands at KBH. The director, Jodi, has been with the company for 20 years and welcomes and cares for each family on a personal level, as does Katie the Operations Coordinator. The use of the Daily Connect app/website is another comforting aspect. Teachers keep a real-time log of each child’s activities, meals, photos, etc. As a working parent, those updates are what got me through my first few weeks back at work!
Another convenient benefit of Kinderberry is having an on-site nurse. Heidi, the LPN at Plymouth, is so sweet and compassionate to the kiddos who are under the weather. It’s very comforting to know she is there every day.
Over the past 3.5 years, our kids have made progress emotionally, behaviorally and academically. On a weekly basis, they engage in Spanish, sign language, music, FitKids, Curious Minds (science), and have class outside during Spring/Summer as part of the Certified Nature Explore program (all included in tuition, as well as diapers, wipes and formula). Our son, who started as an infant, is now an independent preschooler who can write his name, speak Spanish, and looks forward to school everyday. Our daughter, who just moved from infants to toddlers, has followed in footsteps classroom-wise and those teachers now feel like family. We love KBH!
After a couple in-home daycare providers didn't work out, my wife and I decided to look at a few centers for our 6 month old daughter. From the minute we walked in and met Jodi we knew that this was the place for us! The entire Kinderberry team was so welcoming and immediately made us feel comfortable (and as new parents we were very cautious about any potential child care provider). We were given a thorough tour, introduced to all the people (nurse, in-room teachers, floats, and more) that would be caring for our daughter, and walked through all the great developmental programs utilized in the classrooms. It was so impressive and we decided this was the right place, but we still needed to see how well we and our daughter adapted.
Well, fast forward 13 months and our daughter is still attending Kinderberry Hill and it has been the best decision we have ever made. Daily we see the advancements in our daughters social and educational skills. She can speak many words in both English and Spanish, she has a basic foundation in sign language, she knows how to do many personal health care tasks (brush teeth, wash hands, etc), and so much more. Not only is she getting everything that she needs, but so do we as parents. Daily updates about regular activities (eating, diaper changes, etc), behavior, progress and advancement, and even photos from time to time.
I could go on and on about all of the wonderful aspects of Kinderberry Hill, but I think the most important thing is that we are so incredibly comfortable with our daughter going there and the amazing level of care she receives. All the teachers are so nice and you can tell truly care about your child. If you are looking for a place like I've described, look no further. I'm confident that you and your family will be just as happy as ours!
