Pines Play School Learning Center

Please PLEASE do not send your kids here! Parent to parent, Pines Play School is absolutely disgusting. The owner, Brande, has custody of her 8 year old granddaughter who is at the facility all day everyday, in and out of all the classrooms. My 4 year old son told me one day her granddaughter was doing extremely inappropriate things to him that an 8 year old little girl should know nothing about. I addressed it with the owner Brande, and her assistant Jocelyn, and that's the day everything started really going south and they started treating my kids differently. They dissmissed the concern and assured me the 8 year old granddaughter would no longer be in my sons class. However, they continued to let her in his class and Brande and Jocelyn started retaliating on my family to the point I literally didn't feel safe sending my kids there. The accusations they started making towards my 4 year old, and even my husband, were absolutely absurd. I decided I had to put my foot down and inform licensing. Low and behold Brande never reported the incident about her granddaughter to licensing which she is legally suppose to do! Hmmmmm suspicious much? Brande refused to let my children return after the day that licensing showed up to investigate what was going on with her granddaughter. We were involuntarily unenrolled because I notified licensing. So don't let her fake smile fool you. There is something going on at this place. They can't keep staff. There is zero structure for the children. The whole time we were there, we might have received 3 art and craft projects. Maybe. Almost everyday my kids came home covered in dirt and starving. Multiple times I picked up my kids out of the preschool room, and they had infants crawling around on the disgusting floor everyone had been walking on all day with their dirty shoes 🤢 For naps, they had the kids use community blankets instead of bringing their own. Disgusting. We have been to 2 other daycares and have NEVER experienced anything like this. Other daycares felt like family, the staff made me feel like my kids were so loved and cared for. This place is the complete opposite. I'll save you some time. Wiggles-n-Giggles in Bastrop is the place to send your kids! Mrs. Vivien and Rosemary are absolutely wonderful. Don't waste your time with this trash
