After moving from my hometown to Pittsburgh with my preschooler, it was really important for us to…read morefind a school that was warm and welcoming while also providing a challenge for a late fall birthday baby who's been through a year of preschool already. After lots and lots of research and so many phone calls, we chose Shady Lane School. The staff at Shady Lane are all incredibly friendly and welcoming. Drop off and pick up usually take us longer than I expect because my son wants to go around and visit different teachers and say hi to everyone. Everyone learned his name quickly and greets him warmly even when he's being grumpy. Whenever I have to talk to the administrative team, my son is thrilled to play at the large train table by the front desk. His teachers are so dedicated, and I think that is such a big part of why this school is special. Our family is big and complicated, but my son's teachers have gone out their way to learn names and faces. They offer positive encouragement and praise as well as boundaries and redirection. My son used to argue with me about going to school at his last learning center/childcare provider, but now he's always eager to get up and go. I am so thankful that we found Shady Lane, and I will certainly keep them in mind if/when we have another child.

The facility is new, clean, organized, the director (Jill) and all staff are well trained, friendly, loving, and caring. I wish I could take my daughter back there for pre-school. I recommend anyone to send their children there.

We absolutely love this daycare and the amazing teachers who have cared for our children! From the…read morevery beginning, Ms. Amber was wonderful with our son in the infant room--so patient, loving, and attentive. As he grew, Ms. Michelle was fantastic with him in the toddler room, helping him learn and thrive in such a fun environment. My one son currently in and my other son has had Ms. Holi, and she has been absolutely incredible--especially with handling our son's allergies. Her attentiveness and care gave us so much peace of mind. Ms. Kim and Mr. Brett have also been such positive influences for both our daughter and sons. They always came home excited to tell us about their day, and most importantly, they looked forward to going back to school the next morning. We couldn't ask for a better group of teachers. The care, kindness, and energy they bring every day make such a difference for our kids and our family. We are so grateful!

Going back to work after being a stay-at-home mom was tough; it was even tougher to find a daycare…read morethat would be a good fit for our child. Kindercare Seven Fields made that transition much easier for me. Our son has now been going for 4 years and he absolutely loves it. The teachers are nurturing and he has always received as much individual attention as he needs. I have never felt there was any lack of communication whatsoever; I always feel that our needs and wishes are respected. Our son considers Kindercare an extension of home.

I honestly don't know how this place has such good reviews on Google. If you go to Yelp, you will…read moresee the accurate reviews off this place. I enrolled my 2 year old daughter a few wks ago and I am already searching for new care. This place is a nightmare! 1st off, the daycare providers are highly unattentive to the kids. Every time I ask how my daughters day was I get the same response "I'm not sure I wasn't in her group" but I know for a fact that's not the case. I've also sat by after I've dropped her off and before pick up to see what their up to and the staff is never being attentive to the kids. Except for the youngest girl that works there. She seems to be the only one who cares about the kids at all. My daughter also came home with severely scrapped up knees with no information from the staff. They probably didn't even know it happened. I have also noticed that my daughter went from being excited about school to very reluctant to go, which is a for sure sign that this is not a good place for her. I have also walked in to hear the staff fully yelling at the children, UNACCEPTABLE! They also have some extremely questionable staff hired! The owner seems to be cheaping out and not paying for quality staff, which would improve her business overall. Quality staff is a must for this type of business. It just makes me wonder and a little sad that other parents are totally fine with the very low quality of care their children are receiving. BTW, we just moved here from another state, and our daycare prior to this was beyond exceptional, so I would know a good daycare from a bad one, and this one is not a good daycare. I hope they read this review and consider how essential their business is and that they need to provide quality care for these children!

I love that the daycare teaches and implements everyday task/skills into their daily learning. They are very big on children reaching the age appropriate milestones and then some. It is a very intimate setting for children to feel comfortable and supported. I cannot thank the owner, Erica enough for running such an amazing business and caring for the children. I have met every teacher in the center and I can trust they will always provide the best care not only for my kids but to others as well. The establishment is very clean, the communication about any closures and delays are always communicated timely. You can tell the owner values running a smooth and professional establishment. This daycare center is truly amazing and I wouldn't recommend any other place.

They also give insightful feedback about child behavior that is good or bad. The staff is very supportive of the children by showing up to different special events in the child's life. They also provide healthy snacks and teach them on safe playing habits. They also take the children to the local library for reading time and to the park. The staff are knowledgeable of child development and work with them to stay on track with their learning development. It's like having an extended family of support.

Can't say enough positive things about AAK. My child has been at the center from 4 mo old on, and…read moreevery classroom has been really great. There was a bit more turnover when we started (I believe in part bc in order to gain a 3rd keystone star, the bar was raised as far as teacher training- I'm a-ok with that) but the teachers there now are the one's who have been around for years. Very accommodating, as far as parent needs/ styles (ie, pick up times, cloth diapers, breast milk) are concerned. We drive all the way from the city (for nearly 3 years!) and it's still worth it!

I'm not going to take the time to enumerate everything that is wrong, but I was told that the pictured piece fell off in the kiln. If that were true, there wouldn't be glaze on the surfaces that need to be re-joined. This cannot even be fixed. So in addition to doing careless work with the glaze, they were untruthful about what happened. This was a frankly a terrible experience.

Said we wanted to pickup our pieces whether they were finished or not and would finish the pieces elsewhere. The day we were coming, they called to say it was ready. One piece was glazed only halfway and in the wrong color. The other was over glazed enough so the relief is gone and they dripped another glaze on it and you can see the finger mark where they attempted to wipe it off. When we called about a refund, we were quite frustrated and were told that we needed a discussion with the instructor to figure out if they had done anything wrong. Could not be more disappointed. Will never return. Would recommend trying somewhere else if someone is considering going here.
