Kidango Emerald Vista Center

This school is great. The kids love it and the teachers love the kids! They’re always doing activities that are definitely helping our children learn. We actually relocated back in July, but prior to my little one attended Kidango Emerald vista. Once we returned to the East Bay, I knew I had to get him re-​enrolled because he loved it so much! Thank you to Kidango for making my child’s first preschool experience a great one!

I don’t know what the issue was with previous review but my daughter has been at Kidango since July. She started in the half day room and later moved to the full day class. The teachers are great! My daughter absolutely adores them all and hates when I show up earlier to pick her up! Its really great to know my kid enjoys being there so much. My only complaint is more with the system itself and not any one person in paticular. They charge ridiculous fee for late pickup but its understandable. The process is drawn out and can be a pain for subsidy with all the paperwork and requirements but they make up for all the red tape with teachers who always greet you by name and the kids love to see and play with.

Parents PLZ read! BEWARE!!! If I could give this school zero stars I would! I had my son attend this horrible school. At first everything seems ok. The class seems clean. The teachers seemed ok. When my son first attended it was ok. An that was because I didn’t stay to watch what was really going on! Every other week as soon as all the kids got used to a teacher they would bring someone new in! Then my son would cry an not want to go. The new teachers they hired have absolutely NO idea what they are doing! To top it off they are very rude to the parents an the kids! They don’t teach anything!!! They are lazy! Sit around while the kids are running around. On several occasions my son had either scratches or bruises on his body. One time it was over a 100 degrees an they just let the kids outside for over 45 min! One other time my son was so sick he could Barly walk. An nobody called me! They DNT care about the kids or their needs! Most of the parents I spoke to had complaints! I even spoke to the supervisor several times an they did absolutely nothing about it! On my sons last day. I talked to the teacher. I was very upset at how they were handling things. She took me outside to «talk»! Instead of hearing me out an listening to my concerns as a mother she kept making excuses for how horribly they were doing things! While we were talking my son was crying inside! Screaming! An not one teacher went over to him to comfort him. They simply didn’t give a damn!!! That’s when I got angry! I took my son an walked out! The teachers came out an said they are going to call the police! Yes ppl they threaten to call the police! They are crazy an this is a horrible horrible school!!! I called the vp of the company an now thankfully they are under investigation!!! I can’t believe I allowed my son to stay in that school! I feel horrible as a mom. An feel bad for the kids that are still in that school! They are Prob being abused by the teachers! I DNT think the teachers even have an education! How can they teach our kids if they can hardly speak any English. My son didn’t learn anything during the whole time he was at that school. Watever he learned was because I taught him. Parents beware!!! DO NOT HAVE YOUR KIDS ATTEND THIS SCHOOL!!! I can’t believe there aren’t more bad reviews on here. The school seems ok from the outside BT as soon as UR kids attend everything changes! DNT judge a book by its cover! If you want UR kids to be something an learn an be ready for kindergarten DNT I repeat DNT have them attend this school!!! Worst school in the Bay Area!!! No child should have to be treated the way they treat the kids at this jail! Not even going to say school!
