I would never recommend Stem Steps to another parent…read more What started as me calmly asking why an adult screamed at my son turned into one of the most upsetting and unprofessional experiences I have ever dealt with as a parent. When I first questioned why my son was yelled at, instead of showing concern or trying to explain the situation respectfully, the owner immediately responded with, "If you're going to falsely accuse me, his last day can be June 5." As a parent, that response alone was shocking. I was not attacking anyone -- I was asking why my child was screamed at. What made the situation even worse was that the explanations kept changing. After I questioned what happened, I was suddenly told my son had been continuously trying to open the gate and needed redirected all day. However, when I arrived and heard the screaming myself, it had nothing to do with a gate. My son was excited because he saw me arriving to pick him up and was yelling out excitedly. He was nowhere near the gate. When I challenged the story about the gate because it did not match what I personally witnessed, I was then told that it was actually another child who had been trying to open the gate. Yet despite admitting that part involved another child, the focus still continued to be shifted onto my son's behavior instead of addressing why an adult was screaming at a child in the first place. What is especially concerning is that I spoke with my son's support teacher, who told me he had a good day. I was never informed that he had severe behavior issues, needed constant redirection, or was causing ongoing problems. Those claims only started being emphasized after I questioned the way my son was spoken to. From my perspective, instead of accountability, honesty, or an apology, I felt like stories continued changing in order to justify inappropriate behavior toward my child. Even after inconsistencies became obvious, there was still no acknowledgment of how wrong the situation was handled. Instead, I felt blamed simply for asking questions and standing up for my son. Parents trust childcare providers to create a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for children. Unfortunately, my experience left me feeling dismissed, misled, and deeply uncomfortable with how concerns are handled by leadership at Stem Steps. Most importantly, my heart hurts for my son, because no child deserves to be screamed at for being excited to see their parent. This isn't the first time Gabby has screamed at a child in this way. Also, this isn't the first time a teacher has witnessed her screaming at a child , and has done absolutely nothing about it because she will fire them if they speak up. It goes against the contract they sign when hired, apparently.

KinderCare Wexford is the most poorly managed daycare I've ever seen. My spouse and I had our son…read moreenrolled in a KinderCare in Sterling, VA where he was happy. When we relocated to Pittsburgh last year, we figured the care would be similar when we transferred him into this KinderCare. We were so wrong! The worst thing is the director. She sends emails at least once (sometimes two or three times) a week asking parents to keep their children home. If she doesn't get enough "volunteers," she will close your child's classroom for a day - or two days - or even three days a week. The reason for these frequent closures surely cannot be that every teacher quits or calls off, but I believe she is a terrible manager, and good teachers leave or do not wish to work for her when she recruits. I fear she's created a reputation in the area, and good teachers aren't willing to take her job offers because she has created a hostile work environment. The children are the ones that end up suffering with all these frequent days off, and working parents (who are paying roughly $18,000.00 per year per child for the service) have to make snap last minute desperate decisions about what to do with their kids on a day that a room is closed. One time she sent at text message to parents at 8:10am. We had our son in the car seat, and we were on our way to the daycare with him when she closed his room with no notice. She appears terribly unfriendly, and we observed her wearing inappropriate political "Make Wexford Great Again" swag clothing to the parents' night. The center director's communication is awful, too. She frequently sends emails to parents with wrong dates and attachments, which causes confusion. Then she sends corrections that are still wrong. Usually she'll send a third message in all caps when she finally gets the dates, times, and spellings right. She even sent us one email that our son's room was closed, then proceeded to send a second email about a fundraiser within that very same hour. Who feels like giving anybody money when you're not getting the services the daycare promised? She also got us to sign up for Soccer Shots lessons on Wednesdays that cost about $130.00. That seems to be the day she closes our son's room most frequently. We paid for eight soccer lessons, and our son has only had one of them. When I asked for a refund on that, she ignored me. This place is dirty. They leave dirty buckets of mop water in the hallways on the rare occasion they actually use them. The kitchen isn't secured, and they have heating elements accessible where kids can wander in. The floors are filthy, and the kids play with toys that are falling apart. We decided on a new daycare center some time ago and only recently worked our way up the waiting list to where our son can start somewhere new next week. The last item is the curriculum. There is none. When other toddler classrooms are learning letters, numbers, and colors, the kids at this center are just being "babysat." At the other KinderCare center in Virginia where our son was enrolled, the teacher in the 12 mo - 18 mo room went over colors, numbers, and letters every morning. Now we get app updates that there is "free play" most of the day, some songs, and basic skills like changing shoes. If we were interested in this kind of babysitting, we'd be going to a non-academy setting that is far less expensive. Our son will be three, and he doesn't even recognize letters or numbers when we try to show him at home. My advice to anybody reading this is to stay away. KinderCare must replace this center's director, and new management must take over before anybody should be sending their children. I called their corporate offices to complain about the frequent closures, and the agent told me, "that's what we do." The agent suggested I call the regional director and gave me her number. I called twice and never received a call back. She only returned my message two weeks later, but we knew we were enrolling our son elsewhere by that point.

I think that place has long since been converted into a Whole Foods. There were lots of toys and activities to keep the one -four age group entertained but it was lacking a quiet space for kids to decompress. Sometimes kids (and parents) need a quiet space. The Center for Creative Play had numerous quiet space areas filled with pillows and soft music. I sincerely appreciated that. I will say that the woman at the front desk was extremely friendly and personable and the restrooms were clean. I read a startling statistic once that nearly 60 percent of diaper changing stations are riddled with bacteria and cocaine residue- I felt safe to assume that My Lil Play Place was part of the cocaine free minority. The Purel wipes took care of any lingering bacteria suspicions. I would definitely give this place another chance to win me over. My daughter had a really good time.
