My child has been going there every since he was 2 ànd he is so advance with his Learning and loves going there. I love the teachers there and how they are attentive to the children needs and go the extra mile enhancing the kids brain with their learningActivities. I wouldnt have my child at any other daycare/learning center.

I should have read the reviews PRIOR to enrolling my daughter.Most importantly: This school has a lice issue!I read it in 2 reviews below!Day 4 of my daughter being enrolled, she had lice!If you’re looking for a babysitter, then this is the place for you.If you’re looking for there to even be the slightest amount of education for your child, this is NOT the place.I enrolled my 3 year old daughter. During the entire 3 weeks, I don’t think she did one thing educational.Everyday I went in, I saw a new “staff member”.I can’t call them teachers.Literally will take your child OUTSIDE to play 3 times a day. Morning, noon, & evening outside time.I visited the center at different times throughout the last 3 weeks, and each time, her age group was outside.I went to pick up my kids this week, and I could hear my 9 year old screaming, “spit the rocks out! Spit the rocks out!”My daughter had a mouth full of the little pebble rocks from the playground. Not one staff member paying even the slightest bit of attention.Also, they will not allow your potty training toddler to wear panties/underwear because they don’t want to clean up in the event of an accident. They’ll just stick your kid in a pull up all day.This morning, a staff member said, “She doesn’t ask us to use the bathroom, so we’re going to put a pull up on her.”She’s THREE! Take her to the potty regularly. It works for us at home and we have very minimal accidents.Honestly, This place was great for my schooler child for early mornings and after school.However, they staff is not properly trained to TEACH toddlers.

My kids have gone here for almost three months. They have a wonderful front staff, great teachers and its very clean here. They also provide a calender for parents to take home so they will know the theme of the day and what their child will be doing. They put the children first and I love that. ❤

My kids have been going to Pecan Ranch for almost two years now and I couldn’t be more happy with the daycare. From the field trips to the family oriented activities Pecan Ranch is a place that I am glad to say my kids attend! We love it!

Love, Love, Loved my daughters teacher. First impression of this daycare was kind of off-putting solely because the receptionists were rude from day one till the day I took my child out. But apart from that this was a wonderful place. My child enjoyed it & learned a lot. I would definitely recommend this daycare. =)

This Is the best daycare Ive ever experienced. The teachers there take care of the kids treat them like if they were there own. They are professional at what they do and always there to answer any questions or concerns we have. There isnt very many child cares like Pecan Ranch they are awesome!

This place was the worst!!! I went in for a working interview and it was the most disgusting, terrifying experience I have ever had with children in my life. After they sang with the toddlers (the room I was in) one teacher took one child to finger paint, the other teacher took another child to change her diaper, and they left me with 14 children!!!!!! 14!!!!!!! TODDLERS!!!!!!!! About 8 of the children had running noses, playing with the toys, putting them in their mouths and then passing them to the next child. They didnt even disinfect them when they were done. They just had me pack them up at the end of playtime and put them back in the shelf. When I came in, their noses were running and the teachers didnt even care. I was running around, wiping their noses, and then a child bit another child so hard skin broke! The teachers had nerve to CONTEMPLATE whether or not to tell the childs father whose cheek was scarred. Another child was running extremely fast, tripped, fell into the wooden shelf and didnt get up. I was so scared, and I asked the teacher if we call the girls parents because she couldve gotten a concussion. She looked at the girl and said, shes fine, not even a scratch. Whats worse is that now, I have a viral infection. ME! If you value the life of your child, please...thats all I can say.

My son went to this school. It was wonderful until he was moved into Ms. Terrys class. He was always in trouble and as soon as I walked in his class ALL the students would tell me how bad he is. After my son got sent home due to his behavior. The truth came out. Terry would have an older kid beat up my son and others. When she thought they where being bad. She would tell my son he was bad and even put a girls TUTU on him to make the class laugh at him! She told all the kids to tell him mommy he is bad. I call Lisa the owner/director but she refused to call me back. In fact I was treated as I did something wrong and Terry was the victim! Terry no longer works there ( surprise ). I also have messages from another teachers who worked there letting me know the truth about everything. I believe a lady by the name of Candace is working the front and she stated she cant talk because she did not want to lose her job. I have proof of everything and dont mind posting it. I have a lot of guilt I carry with me for letting my son go to this daycare. PLEASE DONT take your children here.

My babygirl had been in about 3 different daycares prior to coming to Pecan Ranch. One of the 3 daycares she was there for awhile and did NOT learn one thing! No colors! No numbers! Nothing! The other 2 the same. I put her here due to my daugther worked here and she always had amazing things to say. Also i did my own homework on this daycare and learnt that they are a TSR5 . In her 1st week she knew colors! She has been there for 2 months now and WE love it.

If I could give this place zero stars I would.This is the worst daycare I ever worked for. Horrible training and horrible staff. Some of the teachers treat the kids pretty bad. They pick on them, single them out! (Only if these parents knew) Candace is a joke btw. Future applicants please apply for other daycare (well known daycare facilities)before you apply to this one

Lisa and her team are top notch. I wish my twins were closer to Pecan Ranch so that they could attend. I have heard nothing but great things about the staff and ownership. Id recommend this school to anyone.

Bus almost came in contact with my vehicle today. Thankfully I backed up quickly to get out of here coming threw with zero care . Lady w glasses driving the bus threw her hands up in the air and it looked like she was holding a tablet/computer maybe large note 3 with grey case.. I guess that would explain the poor judgement while driving children. No stars for the driving portion of this rating. However the school looks nice from the outside. One would hope to find a responsible driver on the other hand.

My daughter has attended Pecan Ranch for over 3 years and I will say it is a great school, however, in the past two years it seems like they have had a lice issue. My daughter is an only child and is never around any other children. I have checked with the nurse multiple times at her elementary school and the kids are clean. Pecan has had a outbreak with the schoolers before and handled the issue. I feel like management really needs to stress to all parents to not bring your child to the daycare if they have lice. Maybe even conduct weekly lice searches until the issue is resolved. Also, it would be nice to see Lisa Rozell the owner a little more. I know she has others to run it but having a presence at your daycare other than from 10-2pm is not very good. In the beginning she was there quite a bit and I loved that she was more involved. I pick my daughter up at 6pm and would like to see her once in awhile.Lastly, the teacher turn around is not very good, especially, in the school aged room. They have hired teachers with no experience. Ive walked in on teachers screaming at the children. The issue was resolved but screening of applicants should be taken a little more serious.

Our daughter has attended Pecan Ranch for a year now and we have decided it is time to pull her out. In the past year, our 2 year old daughter has been in 12 different teachers hands. The staff in the toddler room left what seemed within 1-2 weeks of starting there. Other staff would gossip and complain about the other owner. I am not convinced the owner knows how to manage a business or just doesnt treat her employees right. Either way, what is most important to me is that my daughter is happy and has stability/security while in school all day and she doesnt. She is not happy and stressed out and no child should have to be that way. The school has potential but not until the staff is happy and managed better.

Mrs. Salters We have spoken several times regarding your concern from 2015. Our records show your childs last day of enrollment with us was May 8, 2015 (3yrs ago). Pecan Ranch Early Learning Center goes above and beyond state required training. Our teachers are required to earn their CDA and ECE certification (Child Development Accreditation/Early Childhood Education). We hold ourselves a high standard and provide a caring and thriving environment for all of our children.

PRLC hiring procedures is to put the potential employee in a classroom environment approximately for 30 minutes to an hour. This serves several purposes, the most important is the working interview capable of caring for a group of children with PRLC standards. A standard classroom is staffed with two teachers at all times. This particular class is staffed above state standards with three teachers due to the age and the quality care we want to provide. The below applicant was not asked back for a second interview.

I have 2 children at PRLC. My oldest started going after being at a home daycare for 3 years and is now 4 years old. She developed tremendously after only being there for 1 month. My 1 year old has been there since she was 6 months old and it is like her home away from home. I absolutely love the care that is shown for the children at all times. I truely love Lisa and her staff because they really SHOW the care and love that they have for the children.

We are very sorry to learn that one of our families had a bad experience while attending PRLC. It is our mission to create a homelike environment where families feel comfortable and their children our given the opportunity to flourish. Here at PRLC we have an open door policy; this policy is in place so families can comfortably sit down with a member of our management team or the owners to discuss special needs or concerns relating to their childs care. PRLC is a family owned and operated learning center. The PRLC ownership has over 50 years of experience in business and early childhood education. At PRLC we take great pride in our employees and their well-being. We offer our employees competitive salaries, bonuses, award an Employee of the Month and offer an Insurance Plan. The employees receive continuing education hours through annual training seminars where they are exposed to the most current care and teaching techniques. We encourage staff members that aspire to enroll into a local college where they can obtain their CDA or Associates Degree. At PRLC childcare is our passion and we look forward to the opportunity to serve the families within our local communities.

I have to say, I searched for a while for a daycare for my 2 younger children, and when I walked into Pecan Ranch I knew that was where they had to be. They kids had a rough start becuase they had been at home with Grandma, my youngest son had one of the most caring teachers ever(Ms. Bailey) and now he is with Ms Cynthia and he absolutely loves her. The staff is great and I feel good know that they really care about my children. PRLC is not just a daycare but a learning center and I have seen tremendous growth with my son since he have been there. The before and afterschool program is great, we have so many crafts I am not sure where I will be able to put all of them. If you are looking for a safe place for your children PRLC is your place.

I have 4 kids at PRLC and it was the best decision that we made for our kids. It such a good feeling to walk in to the clean daycare and be welcomed by the friendly office staff at PRLC. I have 4 kids there with different personalities and needs and all of their teachers do an outstanding job meeting their needs. All of the teachers genuinely care about the kids and they love their jobs. I have one child that gets picked up by PRLC after school day care bus and he absolutely loves riding the bus and doing the fun activities that they have planned in the evening. PRLC is the best daycare and I would recommend it to anyone!!!

Our daughter Samantha is very happy at Pecan Ranch School. She is currently in the Pre-Pre-K class at 3 years & 9 months. She has been with Lisa Rozell, the owner and Director, for over 3 years and she made the transition to the daycare easily. Lisa and Daniel Rozell truly care about every child and ever family that comes through the doors of Pecan Ranch. The teachers encourage independence and self discovery, and they also like to have fun!I would recommend this daycare to anyone that is looking for a home away from home for their little one(s).
