Kidango Rix Center

I had a little niece in this school she had a bad experience, she is 3years of age and has told her mother and family that her teacher wipe her butt because she had taken off her shoes. I am not very sure of this school.
because of no witness or cameras manager feel that it did not happen. they did change the kid to another classroom, they seem to not want to deal with this disturbing matter .
Teacher must have had a bad day and taken frustration on the child that day.

I had a very BAD experience. No Camera’s/No evidence!!!
If you would have asked me do I recommend this school earlier this week I WOULD have said YESS!!! On Wednesday Jan. 13^th 2016. My daughter said that a Teacher beat her butt for taking off her shoes. My daughter described the situation, it was quite disturbing. My daughter couldn’t understand why a teacher would harm her in this manner. I was very disturbed by the situation. My daughter is 3 years of age going on 4 in May.
The next morning (Jan. 14^th 2016) I brought my daughter to the school and went to the front office. The managers of that teacher was not there. There was another young lady that help me took my number and forward my number to the managers. I let the lady know that I have a interview in Pleasanton and I have to go and I currently do not have care. The lady told me that the teacher in question was not there & if I was comfortable leaving her I could. Also, they would not let the teacher into the classroom until we get this issue resolve. I said Thank You and went to my interview.
When I arrived back at the school Teacher Jennifer informed me that she moved my daughter to classroom 13 and that she waited until she was done with her activity before moving her. I was very happy about that and I let both Teacher Jennifer and Teacher Maboob know that I don’t feel safe leaving my daughter in the classroom with the Teacher in question. They assured me that they taking this situation very seriously and that they were going to investigate that situation take it their manager. I went to work. My mother picked my daughter up that night and had a little chat with Teacher Jennifer. I received a call from Teacher Maboob while at work unfortunately, I was unable to answer. She left a voice message. I didn’t Get off until 9:00pm so I decided to discuss everything in the morning.
Today (Jan. 15^th 2016) I went to school in the morning to drop off my daughter. I took her to her new classroom. My Daughter loved it. When I arrived in the new classroom the Teachers greeted me and made sure they introduced themselves to me. I really liked that and I felt comfortable leaving her there. I went to the front office. Teacher Maboob and Jennifer let me know that they have written statements from all of the teachers in classroom 11, 12 and the Teacher in question. They also said the Teacher in question said that she has never put her hands on a child and doesn’t even beat her own children. Now Teacher Maboob and Jennifer are trying to convince me that the situation didn’t happen. I reassured them that this situation happened and my daughter knows what pain is and if it was done in a angry way. So I asked For a copy of the statements that were written from all of the teachers by the end of the school day. They said we will see what we can do about that. I Went home. I called Teacher Jennifer and asked if I could schedule a meeting with the Teacher in question and both her and Maboob. She said thats should be fine she would have to have a Teacher watch the classroom and see if Maboob is available she is currently off campus. I said okay. I took a nap and received a call from Jennifer and Maboob’s Manger .
I answered the phone. I didn’t catch the lady’s name but she act as if the whole situation was waste of her time. She basically said that they have a statement from the Teacher whom is denying the incident. There were no Camera’s or evidence or witnesses. Basically it’s a child’s word against their’s (Kidango). I said, Really so you mean to tell me that if a child say’s something happened… since there was no camera’s, the Teacher denies it and no witness it is as if it didn’t happen? The manager said yes, There is no way that we can prove that that happened. I said well, I would like to schedule a meeting with the Teacher and her manager’s. she said, I am sorry the Teacher’s have rights and that I she have to go to human resources to even see if this is a good reason for a meeting. I am very upset at this point I knew what I had to do at this point. I said Thank You to the woman and got dressed.
I went to the school to talk to the Teacher in question my self. I went in to the classroom she happen to not be there and it was nap time for the kids. I asked the other Teachers in class when the Teacher in question would be back. The young lady (one of my daughter former teachers) Informed me that the teacher would be back in ten minutes I said okay my daughter is in the other class so I will go get her and I will talk to her then. The young lady said okay. I picked up my daughter from her classroom. I come out, I see Teacher in question on the other side of the gate. I see other Teacher’s running towards her moving her into another class. They didn’t know that I can see what they were doing. I just wanted to talk to her. I was mad at this point. The Teachers were very unprofessional. I am currently pulling my daughter from this school.

This school is pretty good. They helped with potty training and always keep on top of behavior. My son cannot leave at night until he says goodbye to teacher Jennifer, he adores her! I feel like my son (3years old) adjusted well after 2 weeks. during the holiday break he kept asking «mommy when do I go back to school?» Lol teacher Anna and Leonita are awesome!!!

Our son attended the Rix Center after the Ohlone College Center closed. Sure it was not an easy transition to make but I really liked the teachers at the Rix Center and the location was very convenient. I felt like they took my concerns about the fences very seriously and they made some improvements that I asked for. Sure his mom happens to work for Kidango but trust me I’m only extra critical because of that fact. I liked that they were gardening with the children, they also were very concerned about making certain that the kids were safe and got their sleep during the day. Plus there were lots of things for kids to do during the day. Since then over this past school year we’ve had to use another after school provider that are located at our son’s school and they aren’t as good as Kidango.

Our son attends the school 2 days a week and it’s been awesome. The teachers are really great, and the format seems very sound. Jennifer, in charge of the head start program, is amazing. We are as protective as it gets and we feel safe and confident taking him here. He is always happy to go — not a single tear.

Teachers are good and friendly but I wish the schedule/​curriculum would be more academic specifically for kids who are about to enter Kindergarten.
