This is a good daycare. It is the first daycare my son feels excited to go. From there I can tell he is safe, and well treated. Thank youPosted on ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so happy with the experience we have had bringing our 18 month old to this center! Like many first time parents, the thought of trusting our child to strangers was daunting. We enrolled in this program while on the waitlist for another, but it didn’t take long for us to deicide to just stick with Kare-a-Lot instead :) Everyone at the facility is lovely; Gladys, “Gaga” loves and cares for our baby as her own. We never expected our very attached tot to get so comfortable so quickly. It makes the work-life struggle and parental guilt far more bearable. The photos and updates on the app throughout the day make it even better. No, this facility doesn’t have all the bells and whistles with modern well-lit “minimalist” rooms (to be honest, this is what drew us to the other facility initially). But if what you’re really looking for is trust, genuine care, and safety, we would highly recommend you put this facility on your list.Posted on Mara FergusonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our boys (6 months and 3 years old) started attending Kare-A-Lot, and we couldn’t be happier. From day one, the staff showed incredible care, attention, and genuine love—supporting them emotionally, physically, and developmentally. The teachers really know our boys—not just names, but personalities and preferences. We see positive changes daily: better language and motor skills, growing confidence, and true happiness in their smiles. The early preschool team (especially Ms. Kani) deserve a shout out—they go above and beyond. What I appreciate most is the open communication. Whether it’s through the Brightwheel app or personal chats at drop-off/pick-up, the staff is always connected and ready to answer questions. The director is hands-on, approachable, and always ready to help when needed. Overall, Kare‑A‑Lot feels like an extension of our family. If you’re looking for a daycare with experienced, caring staff, and a welcoming atmosphere, you truly can’t go wrong here. We can’t recommend Kare‑A‑Lot enough!Posted on Makayla SullivanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been bringing my little one to Kate-A-Lot since the fall, and we absolutely love it! She gets so excited when we walk through the doors. The location is great, and it’s very affordable. We’re so happy here and plan to stay for many more years.Posted on Connor RossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My child loves it here. The curriculum is effective, and the staff genuinely cares. Highly recommend.Posted on Kevin PalmerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We're so happy with Kare-A-Lot! Our twins thrive in the infant room, and the staff is incredibly caring. Plus, the location and affordability make it a fantastic choice for our family.Posted on Michael HsuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place especially if you work at OSU. Our kid is always happy to interact with her friends and caretakers at this daycare. Kids will always have things to do, healthy food to eat, and someone to look out for them while you're doing you during the day. Any arrangement or schedule changes are handled smoothly.Posted on Phil EvansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have found Kare Alot to be a great place to take care of our kids. Nothing but love for Kare Alot!Posted on Devan StonebrakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has been at Kare a lot since about 6 months old and has been there for over 2 years so far. I was very nervous about choosing the right daycare but I definitely feel like I made the best choice. We love it, the teachers are great and my son loves it so much he doesn't want to leave at the end of the day. They have a great curriculum and feel as if they actually care. You get updates and photos all throughout the day too. Knowing my son is well taken care of at his school makes a world of difference.
