Although the school itself and teachers are nice I unfortunately don't recommend this school if…read moreyour child had Autism, SPD (sensory processing disorder) or anything along those lines! At least the 2 year old room which my son was in! I admit my son was a biter, but it could all have been prevented if the 2 year old teachers would have listened to myself and my sons therapist! We put a request and a safety plan that the therapist wrote up to them to help my son when he would become worked up! Instead of preventing it they wouldn't do anything. And the day they found out my son had SPD and possibly autism was the day he was kicked out! So all in all i wouldn't recommend this school to my worst enemy if their child has any type of disorder!

For anyone that reads the above bad review and takes it into consideration when choosing day care…read moreproviders, just know, that review is crap and please disregard. The inconvenient truth is, most people don't write reviews when they are happy with their service. Something small business owners have to deal with, hence why they ask people they are comfortable with (i.e., friends and family) to review online to help their business grow. What actually speaks volumes is that out of the 2 of 4 reviews on their Google Page, and the ONE review on yelp is a bad review (BOTH from the same guy). Which means, out of allllllll the years they spent servicing the community with exceptional day care for children ages Newborn to 12 years old, that guy is the only one who has had such an "awful" experience. - Sincerely, A very thankful and happy mother of two children who have had the best care and experience with Small Impressions for the past 4 years.

Horrible experience, no stars! My daughter attended this daycare long term for 2 years. She was…read moretreated very poorly by staff members repeatedly. Employees spend most of the day smoking cigarettes behind the building while the older children are expected to entertain the younger kids. Then they return to work and handle children and food without washing their hands.......... We have been repeatedly over charged in the last two years. Charged the incorrect amounts and charged for days are child was not even scheduled or present at the daycare. Chelsea specifically was very rude and horrible. Her attitude and behavior to the children in her care is unacceptable. I highly recommend you take your business to another daycare if at ALL POSSIBLE! Use this place a very LAST RESORT for your children. The only positive Google review are from staff employees.

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.

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 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!
