Pinellas Park KinderCare

"I arrived at the school to drop off my child and was informed that they could not accept him due to licensing and regulatory issues. This recurring situation has caused significant disruptions to my work schedule. I am increasingly concerned that my child may be facing discrimination after a report was made. I have received multiple calls requesting early pickups, citing incidents of ‘biting,’. While a few months ago an incident happened and my other child was assaulted, resulting in a permanent scar on their forehead, it was not addressed or followed up appropriately. My trust in the center has been eroded, especially after yesterdays incident where my child’s diaper was overfilled, leading to leakage. As a result, I am currently collaborating with a team to ensure I receive a refund for the financial investment made in this facility, as it appears to lack organization, cleanliness, and proactive manage. * The director said my child could not come back after this review was posted. My Sons teacher posted a review after mines / confirming that this decision was very personal. Not to mention the weird stare down I had with the director upon my arrival this day."

"so far, the staff has been amazing. I love the new director and my 6 month old son's teachers in the infant room are so great with him. I have no worries when I leave him there all day. And, I noticed how much he is learning by going and socializing. I was worried to start him in child care but it has been nothing but a blessing. When my son smiles and laughs when I drop him off, I know it is a good place."

"Absolute worse facility ever! The director Stephanie was the most unprofessional woman I knew. Who "expells" a 3 year old from daycare ?? When I first allowed my children to come to this facility, I advised the entire staff - my boys are charmers. You have to stand you ground with them. If you do not, they will run all over you. Granted my boys were 3 and 1, however a mother knows her children. Despite what I stated, no one listened. She gave me a week's notice to find another daycare facility - mind you I'm working in a dental office, my fiance has a fulltime job with the same company - & I STILL had to pay?! No thanks. I refused to pay the last payment as I used it for another childcare. I emailed the corporate office since they asked for a survey and never heard from anyone. Thank God I found a much better childcare facility thats inexpensive ! Cut my childcare costs in half. Most unprofessional management ever."

"My child attended the Pinellas Park KinderCare for 1 year, during which the director was replaced. Although the new/current director seemed pleasant and friendly to me, she actually was sleeping with/living with my son's father and had told all the employees at that location to keep it a secret from me. This, of course, had a negative affect on my relationship with my son's teachers and the staff there, and I felt uneasy trusting anyone there. I went to the district manager with my complaint and was told that type of behavior is NOT against their policy and nothing was done about it. I find the director there to be unethical and unprofessional. I would not recommend that facility to anyone. I found the entire experience to be disturbing."
