South Pasadena Middle School

My experience at this center was extremely concerning. My two-year-old was not properly supervised and fell from the monkey bars, which should never happen at that age without close monitoring. Safety should always be the top priority.I was also disappointed to learn that food is not heated for children, and parents are told not to expect staff to “go out of their way.” Basic care and consideration should not feel like an inconvenience.Additionally, the director’s approach to discipline felt inappropriate and unprofessional, including what appeared to be raised-voice “scream contests” rather than calm conflict resolution.As a parent participating through a government-funded program, I felt there was a noticeable difference in how I was treated. Every family, regardless of funding source, deserves respect, professionalism, and proper care for their children.
