Communication is incredible (app with daily pictures and more) plus they never let down their guard (and still haven't) during the pandemic. So many of us (parents) have been stuck in a horrible position to either work or send our child to daycare during this time and I chose to send my child there, which I have never regretted. The KinderCare staff is doing an incredible job. My three year old is constantly asking me how do I say "x" in Spanish because her teacher is teaching them Spanish in their classroom!! She isn't even in pre-k yet! I feel compelled to share just how incredible this center in particular has been for our family. Good luck with your search - I recommend checking Kindercare's Charter Lane center out!

I was incredibly disappointed in our experience at the Kindercare on Charter Lane in Lancaster PA,…read moreto a point that it makes me sick to think that I sent my child there as long as I did. It started off really great. We loved his first teacher and director, and he felt secure and happy going there. Then he changed classrooms. The center was understaffed, so he was in a class with children younger than his developmental age. I would express my concerns and was brushed off. Then he started coming home with scratches. His happy demeanor changed drastically and he was much more anxious and resistant every time I took him. I would leave feeling in my gut that something was wrong. I would call about the scratches and they would again brush me off. Finally, I made the decision to pull him after a conversation with his teacher where I felt incredibly dismissed, even though I was expressing concerns regarding his regression and his safety. I even emailed the director with my concerns and why we were pulling him. She sent me back a rather snarky email which was very delayed because she needed to wait until she could respond "nicely." This was in 2021, and I recently was talking with my son who talks sometimes about his "old school" and how much more he likes his "new school." I asked him why he didn't like his "old school," and he said he didn't like the teachers because they yelled a lot. While I can't substantiate any sort of abuse, what I observed in their interactions with my child was nothing short of unprofessional, disengaged, and impatient. Its been some time and hopefully things have gotten better, but as a mother who is heartbroken over the way my son was treated, I urge anyone looking for a child care center to vet this one closely.

The parking lot is huge and there is no problem. The courts are well maintained. The space between courts is manageable. There is a stadium court with bleachers. We didn't play there. The facility has Porta potty, or you have to go inside the facility at the main entrance to use the restrooms.the locker rooms and restrooms are very nicely maintained. The staff is very friendly, and then I used one of the places to use my laptop and got the wifi password as well. There is a pro shop that carries a lot of tennis essentials and racquets, a stringing machine too. They do carry occasional racquets on sale.

As a Hempfield resident for 15 years I've had many interactions with the Rec Center. While I've…read morenever been a member, I've attended free classes when they were available, went on a bus trip they offered, had my daughter in the after school childcare program they run, as well as a dance class. More recently I've paid a per person daily fee to use the pool, although it does also allow you to use the entire facility. One thing I will say is it is aways crowded, no matter what time or where you are in the building. Classes fill up quick. Swimming classes are booked several months in advance, and the lot is always full. One thing that is disappointing, hence the 4 stars instead of 5 is the before/after school program. While when my daugher was in school it was available to any parent that needed it. Now, they have limited spots and no opening. My grandson has been on a wait list now since August and it's now Feb. That sucks for working parents! And it could very well be a sign of the times post covid, with employee shortages. The indoor pool is wonderful. I have yet, even after all these years been to the one outside in season but I'm sure it's equally as impressive. The indoor pool is large, and while you do need to check the schedule for free swim times, they do have it roped off for laps. I believe it goes to 13' and has a diving board. There's tables/chairs around the pool to put your stuff and a changing area in that area. There is also locker rooms down the hallway. The ladies has a dry sauna, showers, and a machine that rings out your suits. I especially like that pool toys, floats, and swim aids are allowed, as I take my three young grandchildren, none of which can swim. You do need to bring your own towels, etc. I do think the pricing is high for membership as well as a $10/per person daily rate if like me you just stop in to use the pool. The $10/pp was firm, even for my one grandson who is an infant. Still a great place to patronize. Check their website because they are very community minded and some of their special events do not require membership although they might have a small fee.
