Kiddin Around Playcare

I’ve been bringing my son here for 2 years now, just for couple of hours when I need to run some errands and don’t feel like dragging him along. Easy, affordable and convenient! Great alternative when you don’t have time to arrange a babysitter

The facility was very clean & kid friendly. The staff was super nice as well. My child really had a great time there. Really enjoyed the theatre & basketball court!

We took a tour and it seemed nice. Our daughter immediately started playing with the toys and waived to all the staff as we were leaving. So we thought she would love the place. WRONG. Things seemed okay when my husband dropped her off on her first day. I called to check up on her (it was her first day in a day care) and all I was told was «she’s fine». Okay, thanks, but want to tell me if she’s eaten, interacted with other children, happy, etc? But I let it slide and moved along with the day. I got there at about 4:45pm to pick her up, they didn’t even allow me to go back to the nursery to see how she was interacting with other children. I opened the door and they said «who are you here for?» «Oh that’ll be $ 94 and some change» when the woman brought my daughter out, she looked so distraught as if her eyes were saying «thank god you’re here mommy!!» When I said «Hi Baby!!» I was expecting her excitingly over-​the-​top happy self to smile or laugh or do SOMETHING to acknowledge my presence, but this wasn’t the case. When we got in the car I looked at the sheet they put in her dialer bag, which was earlier filled out by my husband listing sleeping, snacking, and bottling instructions when he dropped her off. He clearly stated a particular time she took her nap AND that she fought her sleep, and she was better put to sleep by rocking /​cuddling. They TRIED putting her to sleep (so they wrote down) about TWO hours AFTER the time my husband wrote down. By that point she is exhausted, but she will NOT go to sleep. Believe me, she’s my child, I know everything. When we got home I changed her diaper, God awful rash. I thought to myself, okay it was a long day. She had been there from 10am — 5pm. So I gave the place the benefit of the doubt. The weekend passed and Monday came around so we took her today, for an estimated hour. As soon as my husband dropped her off she screamed bloody murder. Mind you, she’s never had any issue with us leaving her with anyone before-​she always waves «bye bye» to us. They wouldn’t let my husband at least go back and calm her down. Its as if they were trying to hide something. When my husband finally decided to take her and go in late to work he was letting the people up front know how he feels. They didn’t seem bothered and they just said «okay, bye». Its thoroughly CLEAR they do not care about your children at this facility!!! Do not go here!!!

We have used this place a few times and love the ad hoc nature of it. No reservations are needed. You can drop off your kid and they charge by the hour, prorated to the minute. The staff seems friendly and there is plenty of activity for your kid to due. The hours are good and this is perfect if you want to go out to dinner or need a few hours of child care.
You need to pay an annual membership fee and then at $ 7 an hour for a 2 year old, you can’t beat it. Depending on the time of drop off, you can also pay extra for them to be fed. Open until 10pm on weekdays and midnight on weekends, this place is clean and convenient.

I have three kids. They all love it here. We don’t go on a regular basis because even though it is fairly priced when compared to other drop in care, I have three kids so it can add up. We mostly use this place a back-​up care center. This is saying a lot since I am an overprotective parent. I actually know the center is always safe and clean for my children.

Need a babysitter that’s always available? This place is great! The kids love it. Convenient and reasonably priced. I highly recommend.

Very clean, great staff, affordable, and the kids beg to go all the time! Every Friday night they have a dance party with pizza and the kids love it so we plan date night on Fridays. The kids think it’s a special privilege for them!

I’m so glad that I found Kiddin Around! The staff is always ready when you walk in the door, always friendly and seemingly caring, and the activity stations look fun and well thought out. There are video game stations and dvd watching stations for the olderkids, tubes and slides for the little ones, and an active ball tossing room for the high energy kiddos. My daughter is 4, and had difficulty interacting in spaces with too much stimulation. When we attempted to try Kiddin Around for a few hours, we expected a phonecall about her being very sad and introverted. It was just the opposite! My husband and I arrived to pick her up, and she didn’t want to leave! She begs to go to Kiddin Around every week! Great place, great price, great staff, safe, and clean; what more can a parent ask for?
