from Guilderland Child Care Center
"Kidz Korner been a second home to my children for a few years. The staff are always professional and welcoming. It gives me such great comfort that not only do my kids talk about their friends and teachers at home but are also excited to be dropped off at daycare in the mornings. The center is always well kempt, and it seems that the administration takes pride in this being a great daycare and learning center. The knowledge my children have gained each day is really unimaginable. I highly recommend Kidz Korner Guilderland to anyone looking for clean and reliable childcare."

"My son has been attending Kidz Korner since I returned to work when he was three months of age. He is now approaching three years old and really enjoys his time there with his teachers and friends. My husband and I really appreciate the consistency, attention to detail, and warm environment provided by Ms. Janice and the staff at Kidz Korner Guilderland. I would also like to express gratitude for the way the center has done everything possible to keep our children safe during this COVID-19 pandemic."

"Trusting someone with your children is among the more difficult decisions a parent can make. From the day our children started we’ve felt that were not only cared for, but also loved. They are bright, well adjusted, and social kids. Much of that credit goes to their teachers. Especially during a pandemic, we have felt that our children had a safe, clean, healthy place to have normalcy when the world is anything but. We are grateful for the years our children get to spend here."
~ Nora G.
"We are reminded every Saturday and Sunday how happy our daughter is to go to Kidz Korner. Without fail, she asks us ‘Is today a daycare day?’ When we respond no, she is immediately disappointed. They have nurtured out three year old, and now also our nine month old, by offering a place to play, learn, and interact with other kids. Kidz Korner is certainly a part of our village. We love them."
~ Jenna H.
"As a parent who has had a bad daycare experience before finding Kidz Korner, I can definitely say I’d choose them over any other daycare in the area a thousand times. You just get a feeling of comfort when dropping your child off and knowing they’ll be well cared for. The teachers are amazing and do a great job of teaching, nurturing, and welcoming children into the environment to make them feel comfortable. During the unforeseen times of the pandemic, they’ve gone above and beyond my expectations as a parent and I have no doubts that my child is safe."
~ Brieana T.
"Kidz Korner has been a fabulous place for our children. Our daughter joined the center in 2016 as an infant and had a hard time adjusting at first; but the teachers and the rest of the staff were wonderful. They took the time every day after drop-off to console her and make her feel welcomed. They have been a huge support system for us as she has gone through all developmental milestones, from learning to crawl/walk, potty training, talking, to where she is now actively learning curriculum that will help her thrive in Kindergarten. The center also has a great way of keeping the children engaged and stimulated in fun ways. Both of my kids love going to daycare every morning and spending time with their friends and teachers. The administration of the center has also been great. They are always open to feedback and able to quickly address any concerns we may have. They have done a great job remaining open during the pandemic and supporting parents in a very difficult environment."

"... We wholeheartedly recommend Kidz Korner to any parent. Our oldest (now 4) started at Latham and we moved to the Guilderland location right before the arrival of our second child (now 2). Both our children were enrolled at 12 weeks. As incredibly difficult as it was to leave our children, it was made easier by the staff. I never doubted my kids were in the best possible care. The staff (at each location) saw me cry, offered hugs and were open to check-in calls throughout the day. As the years have passed, the staff and teachers have become friends and family. Every interaction is met with kindness and care. As infants they were smothered in attention and as toddlers, they were taught basics in a fun, educational and structured manner. The lesson plans developed by the teachers have exceeded our expectations. As we approach our oldest heading to kindergarten, I’m incredibly confident that he will excel (and hopefully I’ll cry less) because of the social and educational interactions provided in the Pre-K program. Kidz Korner has continued to operate as an essential business throughout the COVID-19 pandemic with the safety of the children and staff as their first priority without ever compromising the care, education or fun of their program. My family is so fortunate to have had Kidz Korner a daily part of our lives!"
~ Carrie
"... Since our daughter started attending the Pre-K program at Kidz Korner, she is happier and genuinely enjoys going to school every day! She has made new friends and is thriving! The Pre-K teachers are committed to ensuring the kids are ready for Kindergarten and it is evident with their lesson plans and overall demeanor. My husband and I are so happy and thankful that we make the decision to enroll our daughter into the Kidz Korner Pre-K Program."

"... My daughter has been a student at Kidz Korner for just under a year. I was so nervous about starting care, but the staff put me at ease. They patiently addressed each and every concern and went out of their way to provide detailed updates on her daily progress. I have watched her grow and thrive in this school environment due to the hands-on care of this loving staff. She looks forward to going to school, which, I think is the highest endorsement a daycare could have. We owe a lot to Janice and the staff and wouldn’t change a thing!"
~ Ashley – Guilderland, NY
"... My kids have been going to Kidz Korner since 2012. I have had many great experiences throughout the years. One that sticks our is when my son started at Kidz Korner. I was so sad to go back to work and leave him. He was also not the easiest baby. However, when I met the teachers my anxiety left. Every day both of them gave me detail for detail about his day. I knew they loved my son and it made my days at work easier for me!"
~ Carla – Guilderland, NY
"... The teachers in Infant C went out of their way to help Kate feel include during a birthday treat she couldn’t eat. They brought her fig newtons so she could join in the fun!"
~ Jenna – Guilderland, NY
"... Every last one of Mari’s teachers and staff have been nothing but generous and great to us. They all treat her like she is their own. I am so comfortable leaving her there. Having a new 1st baby, it’s scary to leave there for work and entrust strangers to keep her safe/happy/healthy. However, these are not strangers, they are family to us! Thank you for loving her so much!"
~ Kelsey – Guilderland, NY
"... I enrolled my daughter in Kidz Korner when she was 21 months old. We had no doubt about child care since my son went to the same place when he was 2 years old. The place is pleasant and inviting. Before my daughter started at Kidz Korner Ms. Janice was really nice to have her try the classroom. I felt that it was really very helpful for the transition of my daughter from home day care to Kidz Korner. The teachers in her class are awesome and provide me and my wife updates on her day to day activities."
~ Krishna – Guilderland, NY
"... Kidz Korner has far exceeded our hopes in a child care experience for our foster kiddos. The teachers have shown so much love and patience even when tough behaviors have been daily. Our kids feel safe and so loved here. On top of that, they have grown academically. I would recommend this preschool to anyone!"

from Guilderland After School Child Care Center
"We have been with Kidz Korner for over 15 years. They have been wonderful to all four of our kids. The kids have gotten to have fun while learning new things. The teachers have become like family to us. More recently, during the pandemic, it has been great to know that the kids can still go to the After School program. They have done everything to keep our kids safe and healthy, all while allowing them to still be kids. Thank you!"
~ Stephanie G.
"Our two daughters, ages 6 and 9, have attended the Kidz Korner after school program since they were in kindergarten. The program provides a safe, engaging, and fun environment. This is especially true for our youngest daughter who has special needs. The staff make sure her social emotional needs are met on a daily basis. We also appreciate the open communication with the staff and director. They are always available via email or phone call. We would recommend this program to any family that is looking for a caring and reliable after school program."
~ Lisa V.
"We have been sending our girls to Kidz Korner since they were in preschool, and we have had only positive experiences. The staff has always been kind and caring toward our girls and welcoming to us. We have been so lucky over the years to have childcare that remains open when many other places close (ie. during school vacations, and snow days). This past year has shown us more the ever how lucky we are to have a childcare facility that makes childcare a priority. During the beginning months of the COVID-19 pandemic while most other childcare facilities closed Kidz Korner remained open. Being a family of two essential workers we do not have the option to work from home. If it were not for KK one of us would have needed to take a leave of absence from work, but instead, we have been extremely fortunate to remain working. Kidz Korner allowed our family to keep some normalcy and allowed our girls to have safe interaction with other kids during these challenging times!"
~ Bridget Z.
"... Our son attends the Kidz Korner After School Program in Guilderland. He ABSOLUTELY loves KK! They provide great activities and a great atmosphere for the kids. Activities like paper mache, bracelet making, tie-dye shirts, iron beads, basketball, field trips and more! Our little guy has special needs and the staff at KK has been fabulous about supporting him and even developing a behavior plan just for him! The teachers are enthusiastic and he loves all of them. We don’t know what we would do without Kidz Korner! "
~ Kim
"... My two children have been going to Kidz Korner for a total of 10 years and my son is still currently still attending. I have been very pleased with the program at Kidz Korner and would definitely recommend it for several reasons. Their facilities are always kept very clean and safe. I have always felt that the staff’s highest priority is maintaining the wellbeing of my children when there. They offer a wide variety of activities that includes sports, crafts and a homework center."
~ Rachel
"... My two girls have been going to Kidz Korner since 2015. The teachers at both the daycare and the after school program are fantastic. They enjoy watching your children grow and help anyway they can to make sure your child achieves his/her milestones. Communication between the facility and the parent is phenomenal. I personally am informed about my child when an incident occurs through all means of contact. The after school program is awesome! They also offer a summer camp program that my kids love. Lots of field trips and adventures."
~ Ashely
"... My son attending Kidz Korner Guilderland for daycare since he was 2 ½ years old. When he went to kindergarten, we had put my son in the YMCA Aftercare but he didn’t like it that much so we enrolled him at the After School program after a month. He was so happy and joyful and he also got to play and spend time with his friends that he grew up with at the Kidz Korner Daycare. The staff in the After School are also really friendly and teach educational activities for my son. He’s been blessed with some awesome teachers. Miss Emily, the center Director is friendly, caring and energetic. It is always a true joy and my wife and I believe we made the right decision by putting our son and daughter in this childcare."
~ Krishna
"... Kidz Korner is a positive environment; from decoration to the caregivers. The teachers are friendly and caring!"
~ Bo
"... My son is 10 years old and has been with Kidz Korner since he was a baby. We tried another local After Care center and were not satisfied overall. Kidz Korner goes out of their way to help during emergency times when we had no coverage for our son. The program they offer is structured and has helped my sons core values. Thank you Kidz Korner for all of your help!"
~ Anton
"... Our family has been with Kidz Korner for many years. We have a 6 and 8 year old who have been there since they were 3 months old. Our older kids who are now 17 & 18 went there when they were younger, too! Kidz Korner has been like a family to us! They took great care of them when they were infants, they loved them as they love their own kids. Now that they are older, the staff not only have fun playing with our kids, they are there to teach them! The kids are learning everything from the alphabet and reading as well as sharing and good behaviors. The Kids Korner staff has always been helpful and worked with us as parents to help bring our kids up right!"
~ Stephanie
"... My child enjoys his time at Kidz Korner. He has made many friends through the program. He attended the daycare program for years, and now attends the summer camp program and after school program. Summer camp has been a great fit for us because they offer full time hours. They plan weekly field trips in the summer which my child thoroughly enjoys. He gets to experience local attractions and activities. He also enjoys going to the program each day after school. I entrust the program to see to it that he gets off the bus each day at the program. I know that he is safe and occupied for a couple of hours after school. The program also covers half days and non-holiday school closures which is helpful for our busy schedules."
~ Heather
"... Adeline has been enrolled at Kidz Korner since she was 6 weeks old. Originally we selected this facility over the other nearby childcare center because of the physical appears. It was very clean and each pair of classrooms was isolated from the rest which seemed like a good design to prevent unnecessary germ spread. The building was also equipped with an automatic fire detection and suppression systems. After had experienced several weeks in the infant room, we came to appreciate how much love and affectionate care our daughter was receiving. Adeline is now in kindergarten but we expect that as she grows so too will her opportunities in the program. We have no doubt that the years at Kidz Korner more than prepared her to enter elementary school and will likely be a contributing factor to her success until she ages out of the need for childcare."

from Latham Child Care Center
"Words cannot express how lucky we are to have found Kidz Korner in Latham. Kidz Korner has been incredible to my son from the moment we enrolled. The staff have gone above and beyond to ensure for a smooth transition every step of the way. The director and staff communicate with me in detail each and every day. They are very in tune with my son’s needs and will do anything to ensure that he’s happy and safe. There is nowhere I would feel more comfortable sending my child in the midst of a pandemic. KKL is exceptionally clean, warm, and inviting. My son has learned and grown so much. He is stimulated and engaged all day and has formed so many wonderful relationships with his teachers and peers. He is extremely well taken care of and thrilled about going to school every day."
~ Jamie P
"We have been extremely happy with our experience at Kidz Korner in Latham. My sons are currently 4 and 1 and they both love going to school every day. As a parent, it’s a great feeling when your child lights up when they see their teacher each morning. I feel that the teachers really care about my children and they learn a lot on a daily basis. My younger son also has food allergies and both the teachers and management have done a great job working with us. I am very appreciative of the staff and management; I cannot say enough great things about them."
~ Samantha T
"We’ve been at Kidz Korner for about six months and our son just absolutely loves the staff and his friends. We weren’t sure what to expect going from an in-home daycare to a larger center, but we couldn’t be more pleased. Everyone on the staff is friendly and engaging. Our son has learned so much in such a short time, which is a testament to Latham Kidz Korner! The environment is inviting and clean. We would highly recommend Latham Kidz Korner."
~ Patricia O
"... I just wanted to send a sincere thank you to you and the wonderful woman who gave us the tour yesterday, Alyssa. We've been to a lot of daycares, and yours is the one we feel most comfortable at. You both had us at the front door, when you wanted to see and engage with Olivia. You may be surprised that many of the other places did not find that as important as I do. We want a loving, caring, fun, safe space for her, if she can't be home with us, and it seems that you and your team have that."
~ Tracy
