“I was so apprehensive about putting my daughter in daycare initiallywhen she turned four months. Krista & the other staff here were all so welcoming, Nothing short of amazing when it came to her. I can tell they truly love & care for my baby. UnfortunatelyMy daughter stayed here until she was 11 months old, I had to move her due to the Daycare not opening up at 6:30 am. Upon moving her to another daycare and her staying for only about Five months I realize that there is NO place like Kindercare. She would sit and be isolated at her previous daycare And believe me she is not a quiet child. I immediately contacted the director to see if they had a room in the toddler room & after a short wait they made some room for my girl. And although I had to switch shifts in order for her to come back. This daycare & ALL of the workers make it so worth it. The staff is amazing, Patient, Nurturing, & also very understanding to my daughter‘s very unique diet. You’ve Hired amazing people to care for our children. Thank you”

“The Goddard School of Pittsburgh is such a welcoming environment. From the time you walk in the door you automatically feel like family. Sending my son to the Goddard School was such a great decision! He is learning so much and is so excited to tell me what he learned at school each day.”

“I started sending my first born to Small Worlds back in Feb of 2022 at 15 months old and continued to use them up until the summer of 2025 (we are Starting school in late August or else we would continue). To say I am grateful to the staff would be an understatement. As an anxious new mom, I was so scared having to leave my little guy for the first time. That said, I soon found out that everyone at this school would take the time to make my child feel safe and comfortable. My baby has learned so much, become a social butterfly, and had somewhere safe to stay so his parents could continue to financially support our family by going to work. Childcare is NOT an easy job and the people doing this important work are not compensated by our society as much as they should be, frankly. Despite this, the people working at this school really put in their all to make sure the kids are taken care of, enriched, engaged, happy and safe. Thank you Small Worlds Early Learning and Development Centers for being a part of the pivotal years in my baby’s life!”

“KA is more than a business that just takes care of our children, they have a big family atmosphere. It’s so nice to know our children are going somewhere safe and clean, where they will be loved and they won’t be pumped full of the nonsense that is being pushed on so many young children nowadays. Our children’s curiosity for learning is fostered and we are routinely impressed at how much they are learning. We are so grateful for Eric, Jenn and all the amazing teachers and staff.

“The teachers and staff are wonderful. The best review I can give is that my son loves to be there. He looks forward to seeing his friends and learning on a daily basis. He’s always excited to tell us about his day.”

“My daughter attended this preschool for 2 years and loved it. The teachers were great and truly cared about the kids and helped foster their early education. Although my daughter is a late birthday for kindergarten she was definitely ready to start after her time here.”

“We started sending our older daughter here when she was 12 weeks old, she is now almost 2 and she has truly thrived at this center. The staff is caring and nurturing, and consistent - the center is small but it allowed us to get to know each of her teachers very well and for our daughter to have consistency in the adults in her room each day. We've had the chance to get to know all of the staff members and can tell our daughter feels comfortable with all of them. We started our younger daughter here at the beginning of the year and are having the same experience. I definitely recommend checking out this center in your hunt for daycare!”

“This preschool offers the most exceptional care you could hope for your child. The environment is nurturing, and the teachers go above and beyond to support each child’s growth and development. My child not only received excellent education but also made beautiful, lasting friendships. The memories created here are truly special. Miss Liz and Miss Cara, in particular, have been remarkable in their approach—warm, patient, and deeply caring. They’ve made such a positive impact on my child’s experience, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the love and dedication they show every day.”

“I reviewed KinderCare McMurray 3 years ago when our son was 2 years old (that review is under this one), but I wanted to update the review now that our son is now 5 years old and will be attending Kindergarten in the fall.KinderCare McMurray has been amazing. The Preschool age teachers are very engaged, really care about the kids (not just their development), and do an amazing job working with parents to work through different situations and maintain a high level of engagement. Through the guidance of these amazing teachers, our son has learned so much not only about numbers/letters/arts and crafts/how the world works, but also social and emotional skills.The Center Director, Dana Davin is truly exceptional. She is incredibly responsive to requests, is very proactive, and is solution oriented and always more than willing and able to help us in a way that has driven amazing resultse for our son and us. She has helped with different situations around how our son is progressing in the classroom, and has even helped us with guidance and things she has seen work well for situations and behaviors that we have seen at home as well. She is an invaluable resource with so much credible, intuitive lessons and best practices she has seen work well with children over her extensive experience. She has helped us drive some positive and significant outcomes for us and our son.Overall, the center is run extremely well, the teachers have been amazingly engaged and caring, the Center Director (defintely the teachers as well) is/are so knowledgable on what they have seen work well with children and I feel extremely confident in recommending this center to anyone and expecting that they receive a similarly amazing experience to what we have experienced.____Where do I start! Our son has been at Kindercare for two years now (He is two years old) and all of the teachers that have taken care of our son have been loving, caring, and respectful. It has been really easy to trust them. Our son learns more than we could imagine, he comes home being able to say new words and sing new songs that we did not teach him.The administration team is wonderful. They are very responsive and help us so much with our questions, which has been especially crucial during covid-19. They help keep us up to date with our son's care. All in all we could not be happier with the Kindercare McMurray team. We have no hesitation in recommending them.”

“I do not have enough amazing things to say about this center. My daughter is almost 3 and this is her first time not with me all day long. She LOVES it here, never fusses about waking up early and goes to school with a smile. The teachers are great, the school is very clean. The communication is great. Pictures and what they did daily is sent right to my phone every single day so I can see what she’s up to! The curriculum is awesome and age appropriate. The directors Lisa and Lisha are great, her teacher Ms.Annalise is amazing and every single other teacher there always greets my daughter by name with a smile. I do not have enough amazing things to say!!!”

“Our son started in the infant room about a month ago. I can't rave enough about how smooth of a transition it has been thanks to the warm, welcoming staff and his lead teacher, Ms. Paula! Previously, he was home with me for ten months. Now, he lights up as we walk through the doors each morning and he locks his eyes on Ms. Paula! I can't explain how much that means to a working mom. From the amazing directors to every teacher - it is evident that every at Munchkin University is there to nuture the children and their families.”

“We’ve had two children through this school over the last 6 years. The teachers and staff are so kind and you can tell they really care about the children. Would recommend to anyone looking for childcare in the area.”

“Our son attended Little Rubies for almost 3 years and I couldn't speak more highly of the care they provide. They have kept his mind engaged, communicate with us regularly, and made transitions easy for him. They have a very clean facility and a variety of activities throughout the day for the kids to participate in. Nothing but good things to say about Little Rubies!”

“This is the most professional childcare facility that I've seen in years. You won't be disappointed. You'll feel at ease and you'll know your child is in a good hands.”

“The teachers are WONDERFUL! They make being a working mom easier. My kids are loved and they love the teachers. Good communication and easy to talk to. I can go to work knowing my kids are safe, loved and learning.”

“We definitely feel like we made the right choice sending our infant to Bethel Park KinderCare, especially in contrast to some other daycares we visited. The teachers and directors all genuinely seem happy to see us and our baby in the morning whenever we drop off, and they are extremely communicative! Our baby seems really happy and content every time we drop off and pick up, and the updates that we receive via the app are great. I feel like the teachers all treat our baby like they’d treat their own baby, which makes us feel confident in our choice!”

“My daughter spent three months in there .It was such unforgettable experience we all had . Great teachers and center’s principal was very friendly and welcoming.”

“For a month now, my two children have been going to this wonderful kindergarten, for them this is the first place after home, this is our first experience. I’ll be honest, after the negativity I read here, I was very worried about trusting my children, and in vain! My both children, who are 1 year old and 3 years old, cannot wait until the morning to go back to kindergarten. They say the names of their teachers all day at home, and when they meet, they run to hug them as if they were their own. This is the main indicator for me that they are treated there very warmly and kindly. Thanks to the director Christine, teachers Meghan, Heather, Christina, Vanessa for their relationship with our children and their care and attention, the most important thing is quality care.”

“Friendly, accommodating staff and great communication. I appreciate the variety in snacks and themed programming. My daughter looks forward to attending each day.”
