"I love the K-Center. My son was having trouble and they were calm with him and helped him along the process. This year they are having more back to school nights so we can have a better understanding of what our children are doing on a daliy basis. I have constant communication with my sons teacher. Either via email or calling and having my call returned or his yellow folder that he has everyday. They also have alot of events that are family oriented . I LOVE THE K-CENTER this is my second time dealing with the K-center and I am very Happy with them!"

"My son started the kindergarten center and I'm about to take him out asap!!! I cant personally interact with his teachers b/c of the "drop off" and pick up" Practices. I have to communicate with the teachers via a yellow folder that my son brings home everyday! On top of that he only learns for 3hrs in the day b/c its a half day kindergarten! My sons daycare facility taught him better and all day so kindergarten for him has been a break. I expected a more structured enviroment and lesson plan. Oh but lastly the school happily accomodates the fact that both my husband and I are full time employees by having a daycare that runs me over $300 to watch my child from 740-1230(before his kindergarten begins) Its an obvious $ making operation all the while depriving my child of a REAL education."

"My daughter just finished up her Kindergarten year in June. I speak for both of us when I say that we will truly miss the UDKC. Like other reviewers have said, Kindergarten in one building is ideal! My daughter had Mrs. McGonigle and she is nothing short of wonderful! They will be tough shoes to fill for her upcoming teachers. I would love to keep her in Kindergarten forever - especially after the experience she had here."

"I entered my son into this school heavily based on the feedback I received from this site. If I had known that I should have requested a specific teacher, I'm sure I would have not been dissappointed. I was extremely dissappointed in my son's teacher. This young teacher spent most of his time disciplining the class. I think his inexperience had a lot to do with why he spent much time chastising rather than teaching. It's unfortunate, but this teacher needs lessons on practicing patience with children. He should be mentored by the more experience teachers that are mentioned in the feedback. I couldn't wait til this school year was over!"

"My daughter goes to the kindergarten center and she absolutely loves it. Most of all she really likes her teacher. I think having just kindergarten in one building was an excellent idea and makes it so much easier for the children to adapt. I wish she could stay there but they do grow up. Now she have a positive attitude about school. Thank You Kindergarten Center!"
