The Principal is awful! Their safety awareness is non-existent! I have witnessed the gate propped open on several occasions which is INSANE considering their location and the current environment we live in today?! There is a few teachers that are AWESOME like Mrs. Reyes and Mr. Whitmeyer. I decided to write this hoping to save other parents from enrolling then reflecting over the years only to feel like as a parent I made the wrong choice?! There has to be better private schools in Bakersfield, Ca.? Best wishes

Save your money. My child attended Readyland, and I was not impressed. I went ahead and tried…read moreHeritage hoping for better - it's just an extension of the poor quality of care and service. If your child tells you something and you attempt to talk to staff or the principal, they just blow you off, and you become the enemy. I find it hard to trust these people with my child. I have had several problems and my child has had several complaints. I do not recommend this school at all.

Parents are invited to participate as often as they want and they let everyone get really involved. They do so many different activities and experiences for the kids.

As a now high school student I'm realizing how shitty this school is, they constantly treated us…read morelike we were stupid, even if we were in 6th grade. They treat the kindergarteners like gold even though they are loud. Which if you as a 6th grader even speak once you get detention. The teachers are ok, everything else's is bad.

We…read morelove the teachers at Readyland, and feel that they have truly loved each and every child that has passed through the doors of the school. I feel that my children have recieved a valuabe pre k education that they just couldn't have gotten anywhere else. I have recommended Readyland to all of my friends and family. The only reason I have not given this school 5 stars is that the business office manager has some shady practices. Her collection practices border on unethical as she frequently double bills and then claims that it was in error. However when it happens over and over and over again, I find it hard to believe it's just a mistake. She also holds overpayment refunds (a result of her refusal to apply discounts and double billing) for months on end. Releasing them only when informed legal action is about to be taken. My advice is to not let one rotten egg spoil everything. These things have happened to numerous families. Just be cautious with billing. The school itself is fabulous.
