Pittsburg KinderCare

My child has been coming here for 3 years since she was a toddler and the team here has been great. All the teachers know all the students, they are constantly friendly and my daughter has learned a lot. She is already writing her name and she has begun writing sight words! She is even learning just a little spanish. This center is a great place for children!

My daughter loves it here. So far the cleanest, well lighted and updated school in Pittsburg.

PLEASE do not take your child to this center. My 3 year old grandson was taken there. After 2 or 3 weeks, he still was not happy to go to school. He would freak out as soon as his mom turned on Leland, saying «I don’t like it big school». His speech was not very good at that point so we couldn’t get him to answer whether there was any abuse, but my daughter saw a teacher pull on a child’s arm, and yell at him.
This prompted us to become concerned so we called Licensing and found disturbing news. I recommend you check Licensing before allowing your child to go to this school. Both his mom and I had a feeling that «something just wasn’t right there». The facility reminded me of a psych hospital with long, lonely halls. No laughter, messy kitchen, not enough staff and the staff that was there seemed pre-​occupied. He only brought 1 art project home in almost a month. When we discussed with them, they said it’s normal for preschoolers to take up to a month (?) to transition and poo-poo’d my daughter’s concerns. My daughter immediately removed him and took him to Railroad Junction. OMG what a blessing. This place is the best. We first walked in and observed laughing and «bustle» of children having fun. The first day, grandson didn’t cry and after that, he couldn’t wait to get to school. Within a month, his speaking improved to the point where he can converse quite nicely. He has brought about 50 art peices home, had a parade, knows the names of all his classmates and is learning in a multicultural environment. This week he learned about Africa and lunch today will have African salad as a dish. Miss Lilly is a natural with kids. I LOVE RR Junction. THIS is what SHOULD happen in a preschool. If you are planning on using Kindercare, beware, and please call Licensing first and make an informed decision. Personally, I think they should have their licenced yanked.
