Little Feet Childcare has received highly polarized reviews. While some parents report positive learning experiences and kind staff, multiple recent reviews describe serious allegations of physical abuse by staff members, inadequate supervision, poor facility conditions, and management defending accused staff over child safety. Police investigations and child abuse charges have been reported.

Parents praise the local teachers, director Yanci, and Spanish immersion curriculum at KSS Albany, reporting children become fluent in Spanish in a nurturing environment. However, all recent reviews are highly critical of corporate administration following a private equity acquisition, citing a sudden 50%+ tuition increase announced 3 days before re-enrollment with no local benefits, new installment fees, high teacher turnover, and alleged attempts to restrict parent speech through contract language.

Parent reviews are sharply divided. Positive reviews praise safe campuses, patient educators, and strong support systems. Negative reviews heavily criticize district administration, citing poor facilities, low teacher compensation, lack of transparency, and concerns about mismanagement of resources.

Parkside Preschool is a play-based center in Newark offering flexible scheduling and cultural programming. However, the facility is under investigation by county licensing and police following the death of a child in October due to improperly installed and unsafe playground equipment. The director allegedly misrepresented safety inspections and knowingly allowed unsupervised use of equipment despite awareness that padding was needed.

Parents report serious safety concerns at this facility, with multiple accounts of children sustaining significant injuries including broken teeth, broken jaw, and facial lacerations while in care. Parents express lack of confidence in supervision and question the adequacy of staff oversight.
