The staff that works here is horrible they yell at the kids all day sometimes they even push the children. I have brought this to the attention of the director and nothing is done about it she favors the teachers that do these things to the children. Your children truly aren't safe here,the staff and the director will lie to you about your child's day. There is times that a teacher will have up to 10 toddlers alone and the ratio is one to five it creates a unsafe environment for the children. Kw the director has no idea how to run the center. Any parent that truly care's about there children and there well being will not send there child to any tender care learning center. I am looking for a new job I do not to work for such a horrible company anymore.

I worked for this daycare after finishing a degree in elementary education. The owner knows nothing about child development and feels that holding babies and toddlers spoils them and they should not become attached to staff because it will make them hard to deal with. Propping bottles during feeding time was taught to us by the owner (which I did NOT do when she was not around) so we did not have to hold the babies. They were placed in bouncy seats with a bottle propped on a blanket. We were also told to dump out bottles when babies did not finish them so parents wouldn't get upset if they weren't eating. Toddlers were placed in high chairs in front of the tv when they were giving staff a hard time or when they were feeling ill. I could go on and on but if you read this and still consider sending your child there, then there is no hope for you.

Absolutely incredible place to live! Outstanding culture, sports teams, cost of living, roadways, businesses, people, etc. If you want to move to a growing big city with everything, Pittsburgh is the place. Don't come expecting NY, but expect the best of everything in smaller doses. Don't be fooled by the hype of Charlotte, Raleigh, etc. - it's all media driven because Charlotte pays huge money to deceptively advertise / influence companies like Forbes to promote them. Throw in US Air trying to promote Charlotte, and you have a complete farce - it's a scam. I moved here from Charlotte, and TRUST ME, it's far superior in all ways. Pittsburgh is the best kept secret in the US! The weather is slightly better in Charlotte, but you give up SO MUCH living there as opposed to somewhere like Pittsburgh, Philly, DC, etc. Nicely diverse populous, and very scenic. World class performing arts - ballet, symphony, shows, etc. The economy is diverse, and growing rapidly. In 2009 and beyond, Pittsburgh is the best place to be. I feel like an ad :) LOL

No one picks up the phone at Nannies and Grannies or responds to e-mail. They must have gone out of business

My son was attending the center at McKnight road for about 5 month. One day, we picked up, and noticed something wrong with his arm. We took it to the emergency room, eventhough we though we were overreacting. After waiting there for a long time, the doctor gave us his "veredict". My 7 months boy had an elbow fracture. We were surprised and annyoyed. The next day we went to the center, to ask what happened with his arm, because when we left him at the center he was fine. The director said that they did not notice any unusual other than my baby was "fuzzier than usually he is" and they thought "it was because he was missing mom and dad". Then the director went to ask to one of the teacher if something happend to my baby (any fall). And she mentioned that my son fell over his arm. You can imaging my face....I WAS SO MAD AT THEM....WHY THEY DID NOT CALL ME....OR WRITE SOMETHING ON HIS DAYLY SHEET.....
WELL, I FILED A CLAIM AT THE CHILDREN WELLFARE DEPT...AFTER AN INVESTIGATION I GOT A LETTER SAYING THAT NOTHING UNUSUAL HAPPENED TO MY BABY....
I AM WRITING THIS TO WARN PARENTS TO BE AWARE OF ANY SITUATION, IN CASE YOU USE THIS CENTER...

My son was there at the Robinson site for 7 horrible days. Very nice facility but staff is dirty & rude.The manager was mean and sloppy looking. Staff child ratio was way beyond regulations.They were cited for this. Kids watching tv to occupy the day. My cousin & neighbor both pulled their children out as well. When you drop your child off they tell you just to sit them in a room with no supervision. STAY AWAY from this daycare. They should not be working with children.

Please don't send your child there. It is overcrowded, children do not get one on one attention, and there are no qualified teachers. The owner Patty is clueless. Should not be in the childcare profession.

my child is attending school now, but when he was'nt he needed child care and boy was I glad to have Mary Kays Child Care. It was close and I looked around to compare everything including rates, and this child care had it all including a GOOD Rate.
