I am so incredibly happy with this daycare! We had to scramble for childcare when I got a job offer…read moreto move from Virginia to Pennsylvania - and having had experience with a few different childcare centers in Virginia, we had a pretty good idea of what we were looking for - warm and caring teachers, a balance of structured educational activities and free play, diligent safety and hygiene procedures, and food included! (I was surprised that food included isn't that common to find.) Not only did Right Steps hit all of these points and more, the director, Bhavana, was a joy to work with as I was trying to navigate setting up childcare from a distance. Our kids (2 & 4) had a tough time adjusting to both moving and new childcare - but the staff at Right Steps did everything they could to help them adjust, and both of my kids are thriving there. I'm really impressed that every room has all teachers, as opposed to a teacher and assistants, and all the teachers I've encountered have been wonderful.They're learning so much, happily talk about their friends and teachers, and my daughter has even eaten some salad! In addition, I find the cost to be extremely reasonable given everything that's offered. You can trust that your kids will be well cared for if you choose Right Steps!

Having watched my grandchildren develop independent learning skills such as setting goals, how to start and enjoy working on a project for the pride of completion, I came to realize that "motivation" is learned. Having seen how very different students with different abilities can together thrive to their individual potential while feeling good about themselves, I came to appreciate Childtown's excellent and experienced teachers. This type of education is not for every child, but it is for those who are destined for something other than warming a chair in front of a screen.

I honestly cannot believe what our experience has been like with Newtown Friends School. It was…read morerecommended to us by an acquaintance whose children attend there and love it. Small classes, progressive values such as inclusivity and diversity, values that so much seemed to reflect our own. It just so happens that our fourth grader was the victim of a crime over the summer before attending this new school. His behavior was affected by this event and, initially, NFS staff, using their language of partnership and collaboration, provided support that had an immediate positive impact. As they expressed a willingness to collaborate with us so did they decide NOT to actually collaborate. The simple recommendation was to keep the support in place and unchanged for a number of months. For whatever their reason, they chose not to do so. This immediately set our child up for failure as they made changes to the support that was working perfectly. Despite our efforts to collaborate, they simply changed it with no regard to what would work for our son. As a result, he was basically set up for failure. Our bright and motivated 9-year-old boy was never in so much trouble as he was at NFS. He was clearly under their critical microscope and their lack of understanding, empathy and unwillingness to work with him was both shocking and obvious. We decided that this school was definitely not a match for him or for our family. The values that they tout are good on paper but our experience is that none of them were genuine and there was no caring about our child, family or experience. "Teaching the whole child", and all of their "partnership", was chewed up and spit out along with us. But they made a point of keeping our.overpayment. Please know that NFS collects tuition fully in advance of the school year being complete. So if you invest in this place for your child's education and well-being, be prepared to lose your money if your child is deemed not good enough by those on high in administration. A sad reflection of Quaker values equating to a complete and total lack of empathy, enormous hypocrisy and obvious greed.
