Me and my sister went here when Mrs June ran it and named the care center after her daughter years ago. It was great and we loved it...very loving and caring family. Great memories forever

This place is horrible, my son was was bullied here by the other kids, the kids would take his toys and hit him as well as throw his toys on the roof or over the fence. When I asked the teachers what was going on I was told my son is too nice. They said he just let's the kids take his toys. I didn't know he had to be mean?? When my son came home with bite marks on his chest and arm that broke the skin, I was told he was not the only kid that has been bitten and that the little boy Daniel has serious issues at home. I want to know where was the teachers when this kid had his teeth biting down so hard on my sons flesh that he had actual teeth mark scabs in two areas. Which I have pictures of to this day. My son would cry when I would drop him off I thought at first it was because he was only 3 and having separation anxiety....it was when he held on to me so tight and told me please don't leave me here mommy I pulled him immediately. My son was so traumatized from going to this daycare he missed half of pre k. All he would do was talk about how the kids would take his toys and punch him and throw his toys over the wall oh and push him down as well. At the time he could not completely explain to me every thing but when he learned how he told me every thing he is now almost 5. I didn't understand how he could completely lose a spiderman mask.

This is a great place for your child, they learn so much. Love the Christmas holidays when they.put on a play with all the kids. Their prices are reasonable. They treat the kids with a lot of love. My son and my grandsons went there and they couldn't wait to go everyday. I love Miss Pam and Miss June.

My son has been with Ronda Rae for over 6 years now. Mrs. Pam and Mrs.June have always treated him with respect and love and should any issues come up with other children they have always facilitated positive resolutions. They have gone out of their way to help accommodate my school and work schedules. My son particularly loves summer cuz he loves the daily swimming!! They have and continue to be a great support to both my son and I. You won't find better care at a reasonable price with people whom you can entrust your child to.

My son attended from Pre-K till he graduated the 6th grade. I love this place...my little brother attended this facility as well and my mother loved it. I'm currently in the process of having my 2 year old attend. Mrs. June and Ms Pam are great with the children and Mrs Alice (who I used to work with when I was pregnant with my son) was great with the little ones. Update: My daughter currently attends Ronda Rae and she loves it! She's excited to daily when we pull up and doesn't ever want to leave when I pick her up early. June, Pam and the staff are great and I know my daughter is in safe hands when she's there. She comes home happy and singing all the new songs she has learned.

My son currently attends Ronda Rae for preschool. My wife and I were given a curriculum on what was intended to be taught to my son prior to him entering Kindergarten. They have held to there promise on this end. Our son does not report any issues at the school, and believe me he does like to talk about what is going on at school. He regularly lets us know when he himself is in trouble and when other kids have been in trouble, lol. My wife works near the school and I get off work at random times. We both drop in to the school unannounced and have not seen any issues at the school with supervision. Ms. Alice, who sadly is no longer there, had a great relationship with my son. My son would light up when he sees her and vice versa. Maybe some of the other reviewers need to reflect on their own children instead of blaming Ronda Rae and their staff.

After reading the bad reviews on Yelp about this Preschool, I felt the need to post a good review. It sounds to me that the people that gave them bad reviews are a little bitter. Maria is angry because she was let go and AC and AJ are angry because their kids weren't taught to respect their elders. To start, my husband was one of the first kids to go to this preschool. He attended from the time he was age 7-11 and his younger brother also attended from age 5-12. This was the main reason we sought them out when we were looking for preschool for our youngest and after school care for our oldest. I personally had looked around for daycare for a while and couldn't find one suitable enough. Either they were too expensive or I just didn't get a good feeling from the people that worked there. My husband found out that the same owners were still running the preschool so we decided to check them out. The owners June and Pam were ecstatic to see my husband again after all this time! I felt that good, safe feeling from them and their prices were better than any other day care I had found yet. As with any daycare, my 2-year old (at the time) had a difficult adjustment period where she cried until I left. But, now at almost 4 years old, she absolutely loves her preschool and all her teachers! Miss Alice is a great teacher and is amazed at how smart our daughter is for her age. She is even driven to finding more scholastic activities for the younger ones with older siblings as they are learning at a quicker pace. I don't agree with Maria C at all where she states that Miss Alice is mean. I am very impressed with the progress my child is making at preschool and feel that she will be much more advanced than other kids in Kindergarten. My 7-year old also attends after school at Ronda Rae. She absolutely loves it there. The daycare does pick up and drop off kids at Hansen however, we are not part of this school district so I pick up my daughter from school and drop her off during my lunch. She has never stated that Pam or June has been mean to her. She has said that several of the kids do get in trouble if they are not behaving. She even told me that one of her friends was not going to go there anymore because he was kicked out. I see that Pam and June do discipline the older kids which I like. If you are looking for quality daycare at an affordable price, please don't let those bad reviews deter you from at least checking them out. These ladies have been in business for years and are obviously doing something right. During the summer, they do fun, extra activities with the kids. There are also two pools on site for the kids to go swimming in. A smaller, shallow pool for the little ones and a regular pool for the bigger kids. It is a great experience for both my girls and memories have been made that they will never forget.

Ronda Rae Preschool and Extended Day holds very fond memories for me both as a young child and as an adult. June and Pam Noordman are a mother and daughter team that own and run an exemplary program. As a child, I attended the extended day program and went to Hansen Elementary while my younger brother attended the preschool program. It has always been a family business and they treat the families and children they serve as an extension of their own. We spent many great years at Ronda Rae! As a young adult, I returned to Ronda Rae asking for my first job as a teachers assistant. What a blast! I loved working with such a collaborative team that shared a passion and real love for the children they worked with. During that time, I gained so much experience and a life long love of Early Childhood Education. I am now a Child Development College Professor in Central California and recall and share many of my stories/experiences at Ronda Rae during my lecture or class discussions with my college students. If you are looking for a preschool or/and a /before and afterschool program that fosters creativity, encourages outdoor play/activities, awesome field trips, and creates life long lasting memories then this is the school for you! My only regret is moving up North so that my twin 6 year old boys could not attend and share in the same experience that my brother and I had as children. I can't believe I found you on Yelp- so great to see you on here. Congratulations on 30+ years of success and making memories year after year. You guys rock!!

All I have to say is if you think they are sweet as pie.. they really aren't. It's fake cause behind closed doors the co-owner who takes care of the older kids from 5-12 yo bitches & complains to the kids! They advertise they take up to elementary kids, lies! The co-owner complains about there's too many older kids & they belong in the boys & girls club. After stressing my concerns which I thought would be constructive criticism was a total opposite. When I asked for the no. of their licensing representative. Sheesh, Old lady owners couldn't handle the truth and the true colors came out. She got super defensive and to my face with her body language trying to defend herself but I believe my daughter over her guilt cause I could see right through her! I was not afraid or was about to be bullied by some almost 70 yr old. Really, you took the water bottle out of my daughter's hand on a hot day and hide it in the fridge (of course, you didn't tell them)!! In fact, you lie to me and tell me all the older kids wanna do is follow the boys! Really, what boys? They all have their iPad or other electronic devices to keep them preoccupied. You just wanted them to go swimming so, you don't have to watch them. Tell them to take their shoes off in the sandbox of which are full of FIRE ANTS, come on, give me a break!! Let them clean their shoes outside of the sandbox! Both are cold hearted women that I have come across with and treated my 4th grade child with awful attitude! Then, you tell me that my daughter complains she's allergic to the sun. I told them from the very beginning, my daughter cannot be in prolonged sun or heat for hours because she'll break up into hives & itch. She'll have sun pimples for days. Maybe it's time for them to leave their family daycare but they can't cause they like the $$$$. After that confrontation, both women turned bitter and I took my kids outta there in 3 days cause I have lost trust & respect for the owners. Karma is gonna bite them in the behind sooner or later of how they treated my kids and myself!
