- Samantha Hadnagy
We LOVE kids first! I was hesitant about daycare but from the moment we took a tour, everyone made us feel so welcome. We’re so grateful to Kid’s first and all of their incredible employees. They take such good care of my daughter and have made the transition to daycare so smooth.
- Ivy Pett
These folks are amazing! My kids love this place. They are learning so much, and are the happiest, since starting! The staff are amazing and so easy to work with, and help wherever they can! If you are looking for a daycare this is the one!
- Courtney Peach
This daycare is amazing my child started daycare at 4. They have worked with her with not only learning but social emotional skills. They are very good with staying consistent with what you have in place at home. They always have time to listen to my questions or concerns about what is going on and send daily updates. The teachers are all very warm and welcoming. Your Littles are definitely in good hands here💖
- Shaden Thesen
Kid’s First is amazing. My kids have attended for a few years now. The staff is amazing and very open with communication. My kids love the summer field trips and other activities done for holidays. They have made amazing friends, and the staff helped set up play dates outside of the center when requested.
- Shelana Kidney
My daughter has been going here for over a year now. She seriously loves it! They helped her transition from a small in-home childcare center to a full-size one with such care. I always see the teachers on the kids’ eye levels when I walk in. It’s great to see the smiles on everyone’s faces!
- Chyann Davis
My children have been going here for years! We moved and went to a different daycare for a few months. Not liking it at all, we came back to Kid’s First, who welcomed them back with open arms. My kids are so happy and have made lots of friends.
- Michelle Mckinney
I love this child care center! My daughter has attended since she was 2 years old (she’s 7 now) and has loved going every day. The teachers really love what they do, and it shows every single day! I have never felt uneasy about leaving my child here, and that’s saying a lot as a mother.
- Katie Madsen
My child has been here for over a year; she came in at just a little over one year old. She loves it there! She learns a lot, and the employees there have been helpful and keep the rules to keep the kids safe and healthy. I feel like having her at Kid’s First, she is safe and well taken care of.
