Great place workers are so nice and kids were happy
I don't normally take the time to write reviews, but I felt this one would help a lot of parents. It took us years to find a high quality childcare center near us. We couldn't be happier with Zen Kids Care in Auburn, WA. It's a safe, clean and caring environment, where I don't have to worry about drop-off. My 4yo daughter runs in every morning and is so excited to tell us about her classroom friends and what she learnt during the day when she gets home. Zen Kids focus not only on the academic learning but also on nurturing the whole child. Developing the kids' social and emotional side has been one of their strengths. Omg what a relief! My daughter doesn't start crying or screaming anymore when she is upset about something, but has learnt to use her words to describe her emotion and tell me what she needs. And this is so critical and hard to teach kids. The teachers are incredibly kind and caring, and the center Director is one of the best! Very approachable, very positive and welcoming.
Zen Kids Care get it and do it right! After trying multiple places around Auburn, this one truly feels right! I feel so lucky I found them and I highly recommend considering them in your search for a peace of mind!
As a dad, finding the right daycare took a lot of research and visits to different places. Our daughter started at Zen Kids Care in Auburn when she was 2 years old, and the teachers made the transition much easier than we expected. They were patient, caring, and helped her feel comfortable from the start.
Since enrolling, we’ve noticed positive changes in her confidence, communication, and social skills. One thing we especially appreciate is how excited she is to tell us about her day when we pick her up. The staff is friendly, the classrooms are clean and organized, and it’s clear that the children are well cared for. We also appreciate the regular updates and communication from the teachers.
We’re very happy with our experience and would recommend Zen Kids Care to other families looking for childcare in Auburn
I feel very comfortable sending my child here and he loves it. All of the women here are warm and caring. Updates on the app and pictures make such a difference while I’m working. Thank you all for wonderful care.
