This preschool came highly recommended to us and it was extremely disappointing. My son was in the…read more4 year old class and one of the teachers really went out of her way to be rude to my son and myself. he learned nothing there entire year. he was sick most of the time. The teacher would never say hello at drop off and make snarky comments like thanks for showing up today. All this preschool cares about is getting paid and fund raising for their own improvements. This particular teacher would respond to every other parent but us. She treated my son like he was beneath her along with myself. At the graduation ceremony she went out of her way to disrespect my family by mispronouncing out last name. Then took it upon her self to talk down to me after. This school is a joke, there are so many other places that will love and respect your children.

Monroeville KinderCare

2.3

I have only had positive experiences with KinderCare at both the Monroeville location where my…read morechild is currently and the US Steel building location. They always strive to do their best and have rigid checks and balances processes in place. Any time that I have ever had an issue, it was addressed with professionalism. I started sending my child here after pulling him from a daycare that I found to be more hindering to my child's development as opposed to helping him. He began to thrive after the switch to KinderCare Monroeville. I knew that this would be where I sent my daughter when she was ready to start daycare too. When there is an incident, I always receive a detailed incident report. They let me know every day what my child has eaten, when she naps, how many times her diaper was changed, the activities that she participated in and much more. The staff offers activities throughout the year to keep the children engaged and interested. Activities for the children and parents include food truck rally, taco Tuesday, trunk or treat, etc. This daycare is a corporation and has a lot to lose if they do not follow the strict federal, state and local guidelines and procedures. They take time to educate themselves and have professional development each year. While no place is 100% perfect, I feel that this is 100% the right place for my child.

I am infuriated that this is the 4th time my grandson has been injured at kindercare in…read moreMonroeville Pa. With the 1st injury I tried to say ok kids are kids and things happen; but things just kept getting worse. I gave them a chance but should've known when they basically said they will not do anything about children getting hurt because they are kids. This is not acceptable is that he is continually getting scratched and scared up at a place where he is supposed to be learning not having to defend himself. The staff there are a disgrace and will hold a vendetta against your child if you complain to Kristen the director. They do absolutely nothing to prevent fighting or even hiring more trained teachers. Now my grandson has a gauge in his face from the daycare. I'm so glad I pulled him out today and will be contacting the state to file a formal complaint. Under no circumstances should anyone ever send their child there unless you want them hurt on a weekly basis. Oh and they also have trouble providing and producing incident reports which are required by law. Run!!!! find any other daycare other than KinderCare in Monroeville. Save yourself the money.

I was so excited to get into this daycare because it's right near our house but I'm pretty…read moredisappointed in it. First let me say every one was nice when we went there they did a good job at making us feel good about our baby being there. the employees wear shoes in baby room with no clovers and food stuck on the bottoms, when it came up in conversation she said the shoes don't go outside but they do walk around where the older kids are and their shoes are outside and there's food on the floor quite often. You could see food stuck on the bottom of her shoes. we got charged for 3 days because that's the minimum. We only needed 2 days so 360.00 for 2 days a week, they told us the reason why we have to pay for 3 days is because they hold her bed and keep it only for her but at 6:15am on a Tuesday which was her schedule day they knew she was coming at 6 my baby being very sleepy I got there wanting to put her in her crib and 3 dirty Boppy pillows from the other baby's and the floor mat where all in her crib this was the last day we were there, I pulled them out but couldn't tell the teacher because she's never there at 6 she comes in later I'm told so there is no baby room teacher at 6 AM even though they're scheduling babies to come in at six, the toddler teacher was very nice but having the toddlers in the baby room made me a little worried because toddlers tend to bite. We were told that they had no contact information for us but they had called my boyfriend the day before. It felt a little on organized I really don't wanna nitpick because I do feel like all the teachers were pretty nice they just don't follow the rules of the health department and the place is just not very clean And I guess their paperwork Dirty shoes in baby room, no shoe covers I was told that her shoes walk around only in the daycare but that doesn't make me feel better because they also walk around where all the older kids walk as well and the older kids have shoes on that are from outside so you're still picking up the germs from outside.., and walking on top of the food in the older kids area whenever they're eating the shoes had food stuck on the bottoms, Also my daughters crib they always use to put all the stuff in at the end of the day even on days when she's there I was told by another parent who sent me pictures that The floor mat at the end of the day gets put in there. so thanks for letting my baby's crib be the dirtiest crib she's sick after 2 days of going there I'm done 360 for 2 half days of daycare

Is it unreasonable to want your child and the "school" they attend to be a good fit? They seemed unorganized and were unprofessional. I would suggest that you look elsewhere is you are looking for more that a daycare. This Goddard did not seem very people focused or process driven in my opinion.

Our daughter has attended The Goddard School in Murrysville for several months now and we have been…read moreextremely pleased. The teachers have always been very warm and attentive to both our daughter, and all of the other students. We receive pictures and videos throughout the day to update us on how she is doing, and a daily report soon after we pick her up. The only complaint I have ever had is that they do tend to respond to calls or e-mails relatively late, but that's because they're attending to children all day. On top of that, the staff is available to talk anytime you pick up or drop off your child, so response times really aren't a problem, at least for me. The building is also very secure, which is great. Nobody from outside can get in without a fingerprint scan or the parents contacting the school in advance, and the administrators are good about making sure the door stays secured. I really can't say enough about the teachers though. Our daughter is in the three-year-old classroom, and the teachers are always incredibly welcoming when she comes in. If she's having a slow morning and feels shy, the teacher sits with her until she feels comfortable. And when the school does events with parents, which I'm sure can be stressful on the staff, they never let that show; they're always as warm and attentive to the kids as ever. After moving to the area over the summer, we spent several weeks touring different facilities before coming to this one. It's a little bit out of the way for us, but we have no regrets whatsoever. I would highly recommend them.

I vote here, so I do not want this review to reflect anything beyond my voting experiences and the…read moreorganization of said experiences. In all fairness, I have been voting at this location for the past decade and up to the Primary Elections of 2016 rarely had to wait longer than a few minutes. However since the resurgence of people voting in the past three elections, I have waited in excess of two hours to spend 30 seconds casting my ballot. Let me start with the bad. It's all bad. First you stand in a ridiculously long line that begins all the way down a hill. This line wraps down and around the building. As you wait you are accosted by many strangers and strange politicians wanting to hand you literature while parading around in a "make America white again" hat and giving you "tips" on how and who to vote for. Sorry people drive me nuts. Yea buddy I have been waiting in the cold now for over an hour and it hadn't occurred to me as to what I am doing and who I am going to vote for. This isn't a restaurant, I am not looking for recommendations at this point especially from you so unless you are handing out a deeply needed cup of hot coffee MOVE ON... Once you actually make it through the ridiculous line you are met with the two oldest people in the county that hand write your name into a ledger book. After several attempts of saying and spelling my name, marked with confusion such as Terry? Did you say Mary? Kerri, with a K? No, I said a C. Is that two R's? Yes... Awe finally, now go to the next line... Now the next line you get to locate the person representing the book that contains a range of voters. You know the A-F, G-L, M-R, and so one. Of course my line has a lady who can't be located. I patiently wait because what's another 5 minutes when you have just stood outside in the cold, dark PA weather for the last almost 2 hours. Finally I move up. Report my name, locate it before the volunteer, then sign and take my number to now the last waiting post, my final destination. I wait for another volunteer to take my little number then take me to one of the vacant machines, mind you there were hundreds of people in line, 6 total machines, yet only about 3 being used. I cast my vote and 20 seconds later I am bolting out of there. Long story short, get out and vote, just not in my over registered under staffed precinct. I think all these "coming out of the wood work voters" should step up and volunteer. I bet a lot of them have tons of free time on their hands while posting hate messages on-line in their basements. 3 Stars cause the church is probably a great church and this review shouldn't reflect them negatively.

Under the sink in the bathroom and vent check valve was missing. The contractor plumber never installed it when the house was built 2 years ago. He said he could fix it right now and gave a very reasonable price. I said go ahead and within 30 minutes he had fixed a problem I had been dealing with for the last two years.

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!
