They entered some random tuition in the system and she said she was busy in the classroom and would fix it. It's nearly February and she stated she would look into the preferred program!? The school has since disenrolled my son - yet advised me to check on the day I suggested to see if they have availability? They also failed to tell me you have to provide lunch for your child. And they don't heat lunches. They told me the day before I was to bring my son there. The teachers seemed really sweet. The turnaround I feel is bad. The administration is DISORGANIZED. How do you send an email Friday afternoon before a holiday asking if your child will be attending the following Monday- because some teachers wanted time off????? Please run from this place. As fast as you can. The administrators are crooks and they seemed to have an "attitude". I didn't want my child mistreated because I would not fall for a scam. They knew I was desperate...but not that desperate. Please look elsewhere.

We have loved all of the teachers and staff and have been very impressed with all that our children have learned. We feel extremely confident that our oldest will be more than prepared for kindergarten next year. We also appreciate all of the updates that we receive throughout the day (and year) and feel like each of our children is valued and encouraged as an individual.

We attended the school for 5 months…read more PROS: I love that this school is located in the middle of all things center city. The location makes it really easy to get things done. I loved their nutrition program! It's one of the few in the city that provide nutritious meals. Foods my child wouldn't eat at home, he'd try since his friends at school would eat them too. They do not allow outside food in, which is a huge plus for families that have dietary restrictions. CONS: We weren't always given notice of staffing changes. There was a lot of movement while we were there. Our primary teacher left in December. Her replacement left in February. The other teachers/aides seem less experienced. Communication is the primary reason we left. They conducted an observation study on my 4 year old without notice. They alleged there were behavior concerns, but did not inform me of any issues prior to them conducting the observation. I'd pick him up and they would say he had a good day. So you can imagine my surprise when they handed me a folder of notes (they called it data) that detailed the behavior of my child over a 15 day period, across 4 or 5 categories, in 30 or 60 minute intervals. Primrose did not inform me this was happening, what the goal would be, who was involved in taking notes, or how long the period would last. Primrose advised that I consented to such observations at enrollment. After I reviewed their notes, I spoke with the teacher who said she wanted to tell me about it, but Primrose Center City said she could not. So instead she misled me for weeks. Leadership admitted her inexperience, but still tasked her to conduct an observation of this magnitude. Makes sense, right? (sarcasm). Her tenure at Primrose less than 3 weeks before the observation began. The leadership team at Primrose Center City is the only group of experts I've spoken with since this was brought to my attention, that believe they acted in my child's best interest. I do not. I've talked to child psychologists, attorneys, child advocates, behavioral therapists, sex therapists, day care center directors, nurses, social workers, and veterans with 25+ years in education - they do not. Other parents do not. After I escalated the issue to their franchising company, the local team offered a handful of options that could've easily been deployed when they claim the behaviors began. They defended their process. Shifted blame to inexperienced teachers. Did not apologize. Did not ask me what it'd take to keep us there. Read the notes. It's the stuff of nightmares. If true, what parent would want to be kept in the dark about these behaviors for weeks on end? What about the other kids in the class, why would Primrose subject them to such disruption? What responsible educators would not want to work with families early-on? I'm devastated to withdraw my child under these circumstances. Update: Shared these observation notes with our pediatrician. She said they were "unqualified" and "dangerous". So yeah, ummmm, be wary!

There are multiple reasons why I would not recommend this child care facility. First, during the…read morestart of the pandemic we removed our children from this facility due to the fact that schools were virtual and we no longer needed the coverage. The owner was given ample notice so that a replacement could be found. We were required to pre pay two full months in advance and requested our money back (not a small amount for 2 kids approx $3,700). The owner stated she would not return the money even though no services were provided as we paid months in advance. This was frustrating and we went through the proper channels bringing her to small claims court. We won our case and were awarded the full amount by a judge. The owner has still refused to pay even though she is court ordered to do so. In fact there is a sheriffs sale being held at her property as a result. The owner and business itself are not hurting for money by any means as the owner drives an $80,000 suv. Also we were willing to work with her and be understanding of the pandemic by only requiring half of our money back, she refused leading to the court case. The owner is extremely dishonest and spiteful and utilizes unethical business practices. I would recommend finding another facility so that you will never have to experience a situation like this.

The fact…read morethat it isn't is why we all should stop reading yelp reviews and hug our oldest living relatives immediately. PARENTS BEWARE: Don't send your child to Miss Joan's Little School. Your child may be viciously bitten in the arm by a small boy with an eye patch and buck teeth. My son will be traumatized for LIFE due to this terrible act of violence, and the institution did nothing other than suspend the culprit for three days. NOT ENOUGH. This environment of propagated violence is completely clear from the moment you drop your son or daughter to this creative "learning" center. Children begin their day by singing ridiculous songs about sharing and mutual respect, and are fed terrible snacks conjured up from some liberal health nut's cookbook: something like California Raisins and saltines. My kid may have scurvy for all I know. No gluten or nuts are provided due to other student's allergies. IT IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. From there, it only gets worse. instead of learning useful skills like mathematics and balancing a personal checkbook, the kids play silly and aggressive games like duck duck goose and "Baby in the Air" whatever the hell that is. It sounds like abortion to me. The instructors, and I use that term loosely, spend at least a half an hour reading to the children instead of trusting in their own abilities to make out the meanings of books by helpful pictorial guides. Then, after lulling the kids into a state of hypnosis with soporific stories and undernourishment, the teachers tell the kids they can just pull out a sleeping bag and take a nap. These are kids, aren't they? They have LOADS of energy and don't need to be treated like hungover teenagers. Besides, I don't want my young boy coming home energized by preschool after I just spent a 9 hour day at work. I want him to feel like he learned something, exhausted by the new and fascinating world set before him, not amped up on games, puzzles, building blocks, and world literature. After my son's dental shanking, ER visit, and five stitches, the school had the NERVE to settle this between us and the little bastard's parents. and when pressed by his "attorney" father and "interior designer" mother, do you know what that wretched boy claimed? He claimed he bit my son after my boy kissed his girlfriend and pushed him off a swing. EWW. The fact that a four year old would even imagine having a girlfriend offends me. The school must be promoting sex or showing one of those subversive Disney movies like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid: both trashy films about interracial dating and bestiality. So you heard it here first. Ignore the overall five star rankings on Yelp and take it from me. Miss Joan's Little School is garbage and creative learning breeds violence and promiscuity. I'm sure the nearly 40 years of "preschool excellence" are about to run up, and I'll be the first to have seen it coming.

5.0 star rating 3/16/2014…read more First to Review I have been to a dozen different day cares in Delaware County and by far all of the Step by Step Learning Centers are far superior than the others I have inspected. They offer: college educated teachers, they have four stars with the Keystone Stars Program, they use creative curriculum at its highest level incorporating field trips and guest speakers in various occupations who come and speak to the children. This isn't your typical Child Care Center. This is an Academy that develops brilliant children. My children never want to leave and I am always impressed with what they have learned each day. Whether your child is 6 weeks old or 13 years old there is plenty of activities to keep their minds occupied. Don't waste your time going to other Day Cares, Step by Step is the place for intelligent minds and caring teachers and their rates are very reasonable
