Ashford Farm has been my happy place for over 30 years. From my mid-20s to my early 60s, I've…read moreenjoyed every lesson hour at this family-run barn, first with Caroline and now with her daughter Megan Canavan. Caroline's husband, Bill, and daughter, Jane, help with barn operations, feeding and caring for the horses and menagerie of dogs on-site while expertly matching horses with riders of all ages and levels. The barn is beautiful but not fussy. The horses are friendly, well-mannered, and well-loved, and the lessons are safe and fun. My lesson groups have changed as I've aged, but I'm constantly challenged and enthralled with my weekly riding lesson at Ashford Farm.

I haven't used other riding schools so I can't really compare ( why I gave it a 4 as opposed to a 5), but i can say that I have had only very positive experiences.

With scenic walking trails, an outdoor classroom, day camps and a small indoor animal habitat, Briar Bush is a great spot for small children, couples on a date, or anyone looking for a brief respite from the urgency of the modern world. With free admission for locals and a small fee for out-of-towners, the preserve is accessible to all patrons provided that they are able to walk down some wooded trails that circle through the admittedly short walking routes. The centerpiece of the trails is a picturesque, secluded pond with benches for sitting and an interactive sign with information on the local fauna and flora. The indoor animal habitat has a small gift shop, pamphlets on upcoming events and information on other parks in the area, and several interesting animals such as a blind possum named Odin, a bearded lizard named Karl, and several other unique turtles and reptiles. All of Briar Bush can be walked through in an hour or so, but the low admission, interactive nature events and scenic walking trails will have you wanting to return again soon.

The first year we were there it was fine. Ms. Charlene was the best teacher we could ever ask for…read more There were some red flags that we realized but nothing too serious until when Ms. Charlene would call off and there was a sub, all hell broke loose. I watched as she would drag the kids because she was trying to clean. But the second a parent walked in she could somehow pick them up gently? By the time my baby went to toddler B, which had no Ms. Charlene I will add, it got worse. There was a video them reading to the kids and there was a split couple of seconds where a little boy started hitting my daughter. Instead of doing anything the teacher recording chose to cut out my daughter who was getting hit and tackled while the other teacher continued reading like nothing happened. They had more slides that showed my daughter still being hit and they just ignored it. There were a couple instances where my daughter would come home with bumps, like she got hit or somrthing, on her face and when I would ask what happened all of the teachers would say they don't know what happened and they weren't in class at the time. No accountability at ALL!!! Finally for a good year I've been paying almost $300 per day after coverage by CCIS, I voiced my concerns since i was even getting charged when my daughter was absent due to getting sick. After I got approved and it was her last month in Children of America. They called me and my husband saying that they can lower the co pay to $50 and if it was too much we can even lower it to $30. Where was that when I was spending almost a grand per week? Now that I'm leaving you want to help me out? If it wasn't for Ms Charlene trust me, my daughter would be out a long time ago. The teachers for the toddler class has put me on edge, are rude to me, my husband, and my kids who pick up my daughter. They don't watch my kid at all even with me paying a $300 for co pay a day!!! I should've pay more close attention to the red flags a long time ago.

My daughter and I knew we would love COA when we first toured it with Ms Sandra the director. My…read moredaughter started her learning path with COA September of this year. She's a preK student. She has two great teachers by the name of Ms Amanda and Ms Angie, my daughter admires these two women so much. Learning: her teachers have broaden her knowledge on so many things from counting, problem solving, expressing herself, learning the letters in the alphabet and not just by singing them. She's learning how to tell the difference between lower case and upper case letters. Learning about her body parts and how they function. To even diving into fine motor skills and gross motor skills. Going over the roles people play in our community was another. There's much more but that's all I can think of. Events: the events they have are great and brings a huge smile to the little one's faces which just warms our heart. Child updates: I enjoy receiving daily updates and pictures of what my child is doing in preK as well! Another main reason I chose COA Security system: what COA has in place is great and is another main reason why I chose COA. Everyone that we personally have encounters with at COA has been nothing but friendly, kind, sincere, caring, compassionate, and respectful. To name a few of course her teachers Ms Amanda, Ms Angie, then there's Ms Sandra, Ms Daina, Mr Mark, the Chef and the front desk lady (sorry if I spelled anyones name wrong). There's so many others too I just unfortunately don't know everyone's names. I love how COA promotes a supportive learning environment, academics, social, emotional, physical fitness, and health development. I believe their motto is "Mind and Body Matters." Which you can see throughout their curriculum. My daughter loves going to school. I know she feels valued, respected, and safe. The kids are great too, she's made so many friends. Never not once heard anything bad about what other kids do to each other or to her. Once my youngest turns 3 I will definitely apply for her to attend preK here at COA too. Thanks COA team for making Olivia's preK journey so far extraordinary. Ps - so sorry for the rant!

Fantastic place for kids, young adults. This camp may not look like much when you drive around, and…read morefrankly their "huts" are not air conditioned or anything in the Summer, but all the kids have fun. We have had our daughter here 3 years in a row and we have to pry her away from her counselors at the end of the Summer. For all you get, it boils down to about $8/hour for all they do. They watch your child, initiate unique sports like archery and other unconventional sports, foster a great team atmosphere, make arts and crafts, feed them, play with them, escort them, challenge them, and call cell/home if there are any issues, etc. etc. I cannot say enough about this Day Camp. You can drop your children off around 8:15am and pick them up all the way until about 6pm - or just call and pick them up earlier. They deserve 20 stars.

It's a pretty big space with a lot of variety - displays, plenty of Legos to build with, a classroom, and a mini movie theater that we didn't get to check out, but think they might like it too. Definitely pricey, but the kids enjoyed themselves, which is great. Would try it again with them. The model of Philadelphia was pretty fun to look at, and it was a nice opportunity to tell the kids about different sights in the city.

This place is amazing for toddlers and parents. There's a good size indoor playground, LEGO everywhere, several slides, a movie theater, and even a LEGO themed ride. When we went, it wasn't crowded at all, which made the whole experience even better. I've always wondered how my 2 year old would do in a movie theater, and this was the perfect place to try it out. Though to be fair, a 12 minute movie is probably a lot easier than a 2-hour one haha. But still, such a great way to test it out without any pressure. He LOVESSS it! There's also a cafeteria inside. The food was okay, nothing special, but it's convenient. Most of the staff were very friendly. The only odd moment was when I asked a staff member to take a photo of Lego Santa, my son, and me. He said he doesn't want to touch phones. I was a little taken aback since there's hand sanitizer everywhere, and thought staff would try to help out a much as they can. Overall, we had a really great experience and were so happy we decided to come. Perfect spot for toddlers, especially on a day when you want something fun, easy, and indoors!

They have basketball tennis and pickle ball court. Don't forgot about the little playground. What makes it even more convenient is the food and beverage.

So far 5 stars and no complaints
