School Reviews

I absolutely adore Kensington kindercare! I work in childcare so I bounced around quite a few centers in harford county until I found one I really loved and it was Kensington Kindercare. Then I got pregnant with my daughter and was absolutely thrilled for her to go there. I recently was lucky enough to have the opportunity to stay home with her but we were SO sad to leave. The staff is amazing and most have worked there for 10+ years, some 20 and some even 30. The curriculum is great, and it is by far the most fun center I`ve ever been a part of (for staff and kids alike). Seriously don`t have enough great things to say about it!
Endorse Kensington KinderCare. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
