There are a bunch of classes listed on their website. I have not signed my son up for a class, but we have been enjoying open tumble for 1-5 year olds. They offer open tumble a few times a month. It is an hour long and it is $6. There are trampolines, ball pit, matts, parachutes, tunnels, and other fun things for your kids to climb and jump and run all over. I love going here, it wears my son out!!!! And he takes an amazing nap in the afternoon!!! The first few open tumbles i went to were fairly empty, but today there was a nice group of people. I have a feeling as it gets colder, it will get more crowded.

These kids were playing rough and running over the younger kids. This was ridiculous. Of course the parents of these older, out of control, kids did not even care. They were socializing and did not want to be bothered with keeping their kids away from the younger ones. Apparently the people who work at East Penn do not care what age group these kids are as long as they collect the $7.00 for these kids to play. I will not subject my kids to this anymore.

It was so scary looking for a day care being a first time Mom, and they have made it so easy. Literally the sweetest people you will ever meet. The way they care for the children there is how it is supposed to be and I am so appreciate and thankful that I never have to worry when Skyler is in their care. They go above and beyond. Every time I drop Sky off, I don't want to leave lol! And he never wants to leave either so that just shows how much he loves it there. Plus, do you see this smile? So thank you to everyone at Huntingdon Childrens School. Cannot thank you enough

I normally don't leave reviews like this, and I honestly wish my family's experience with…read moreHuntingdon Children's School had ended differently. We supported this school tremendously, both financially and personally, which is part of why I feel it is important to share our experience. When we initially enrolled our daughter, we explained that we were in the process of obtaining ELRC. We were told to pay the registration fee and tuition upfront and that the money would be returned once ELRC was established. We paid more than $2,500. We did not receive a receipt or credit until April 14, and by May 5 the credit was already exhausted. Despite repeatedly having money exchanged and credited, we were never provided clear paper statements showing exactly how our funds were applied. We were also promised an infant center and paid a deposit based on that plan. I understand that township and zoning issues can happen. My issue is how things were handled afterward. Rather than simply refunding our money when the infant center did not open as planned, an arrangement was made involving one of HCS's teachers providing care outside of the center. We were presented with this as the school "helping" our family, but over time I became increasingly uncomfortable with the financial arrangement and the blurred lines between the school, its employee, and our family. Those blurred boundaries became a pattern. There was significant teacher turnover during our time there. I also regularly heard extremely personal information about other enrolled families during ordinary pickup conversations, including information regarding children with special needs, parents' relationships and marital issues, and allegations involving parents and staff. As a parent, that eventually made me question what information about my own family might be discussed when I was not present. The relationship also extended far beyond what I now consider appropriate between a childcare provider and a family. I received calls as early as 4 a.m. asking for help related to the school. My partner, who is an electrician, was asked to assist with fire-alarm work without compensation, despite concerns regarding whether he had the specific certifications required for that work. At the time, we helped because we genuinely cared about the school and believed we had a trusting relationship. My oldest daughter's summer "camp" experience was another major concern. We paid a deposit and ELRC funding was associated with what we understood would be a legitimate summer camp program. What my daughter actually experienced did not resemble the camp that had been represented to us. She spent time helping with younger children and performing tasks that I would consider closer to a teacher/helper role, despite being a child herself, without pay or the clearances an actual staff member would be expected to have. At other times, she was simply there while younger children slept. Then, approximately a week before her expected end date, I received an abrupt weekend message stating that they could no longer accommodate her. There was little explanation despite our family having paid for and arranged funding for the program. The final issue involved something as simple as Thursday drop-off. The director knew my mother was undergoing significant medical care. I asked whether, once a week, I could bring my children at approximately 10:15 a.m. because I needed to pick my mother up from the hospital first. I was initially told that although the keypad locks at 10:00, arrangements could be made with advance notice or documentation. I clearly explained that I was not asking because of my own appointment and therefore would not have a doctor's note. I was ultimately told I should drop my children off first and have my mother wait, despite my explaining why that did not make geographic or practical sense. At that point, I recognized that the personal relationship had changed and intentionally pulled back. I stopped engaging personally and kept my interactions professional. Shortly afterward, I was told that I made people "uncomfortable" and that my children's enrollment was being terminated. This was particularly confusing considering that I had continued having cordial interactions with staff and had recently purchased lunch for the staff when one of the teachers was leaving. What concerns me even more is how the termination was characterized afterward. The written termination notice sent directly to our family states that it resulted from alleged profanity in front of children. However, HCS separately informed our ELRC representative that our family had been terminated due to "unsafe parent behaviors." I strongly dispute that characterization. I have retained both communications. Afterward, I also discovered that I had been blocked from the school's Facebook and Instagram accounts. Regardless, families deserve to be able to share their experiences with a childcare provider.
