The classrooms are designed to meet the needs of each age group, enrich each child educational needs all while having fun, and very very clean! Kiddie Academy Of Warminster school year program as well as there camp program is 100/10. My children are always experiencing the best of things as well as always participating in a FUN- UNIQUE activity. This center also has family events outside of business hours that are top tier and sometimes involves special guests which engages with the community and creates relationships with the staff and families! Being apart of this childcare center you will immediately learn that the staff at this location from management to the teachers to the lovely lady who prepares the meals always go above and beyond for both you and your child and that your children are in a safe, loving, growing environment. It is safe to say that my children will attend this childcare center until they are to old to do so and that I appreciate the work that each staff member does to ensure my child has a great day every time they are dropped off and placed in their care!

This daycare was not the right fit for my family. It did not meet my expectations and the cost does…read morenot justify the lack of care received. This was my childs first time in daycare and I made that well known, even sent a little "about me" email to help staff get to know her upon arrival. My daughter did not adjust well and even though management/ownership was quick to respond and try and accomodate the problems I was having they still fell short because the resolutions would only last a day or so. I felt like I was dealing with a sales person and a lot of the time the resolutions included "this is what I found in my research on the internet" or "we just went over this in a training course". It felt very unprofessional to me. I felt like I was complaining about care all the time ontop of now having a miserable child everyday. I tried to give it time and see if she was still just trying to adjust to being in daycare but after four weeks it never got better and my intuition told me it was time to go. I witnessed staff leaving my child unattended to fend for herself during drop off as she cried no one came over to console her. Daily reports were often incomplete and later found out also inaccurate. The school offers a webcam service so you can check on your child during the day and on days they noted she had napped my poor kid was actually just sitting on her cot for 3 hours waiting for her daddy to come get her - even packed up her own bed as she waited. They didn't pull her aside for a quiet activity as discussed when I toured the facility. I had to repeatedly ask for access to the cameras - it was about 3 weeks before I contacted the company myself and signed up while I waited for the owner to approve access, I felt that to be a little odd. Covid precautions are not in place here - it is a complete free for all. No one wears masks including the owner. She wanders from classroom to classroom around the kids. She told me she has a breathing problem I didnt believe her because even her staff would take them on and off throughout the day - I saw this on the cameras. Parents were allowed to come in and out of the building - no masks - no temperature checks - nothing. I understand getting the kids to keep them on is a battle in itself but the adults should know better. Even after having a positive covid case in the building none of this improved. And everyone's opinions are different regarding the masks but for my situation I expected this precaution to be taken, just want to note it in my review if this is important to you like it was to me. During nap I saw staff laying across the floor on their cell phones. They all arrived to work as if they just rolled out of bed in sweatpants. Sweatpants that hung down low enough that their underwear hung out as they sprawled across the floor during nap time. The owner insisted this was when they were updating the childrens daily reports on the app for the parents but my app was never updated - activities for the day weren't even listed toward the end of my daughters stay there. My daughter was there for 4 weeks and had 3 different teachers - none of which came with any kind of educational background. I know that hiring is hard for everyone right now but I figured I'd mention this incase it's important to you, cause it was to me. I had hoped for more structure during the day and activities but during the four weeks we were enrolled, my kid came home with one project the majority of the day the kids were left to entertain themselves. This is what I witnessed when I finally gained camera access. Being as though my daughter was new to this type of scenario I had hoped staff/teachers/somebody would help get her involved in other kids play groups but this did not happen they let her just be by herself. I would try and follow up with the before care staff and everyday it was the same response "she's getting there". Which made me feel like my kid wasn't even being paid attention to, this was the same staff that left her crying by the door for me. Behavorial problems were a big red flag for me. My kid is sweet, funny and energetic and during her time at Kiddie Academy she grew more and more miserable. It's heartbraking that they didn't care enough to even get to know her. The staff here is not nuturing. Once a fantastic eater she stopped eating throughout the day. She's completely potty trained and would just stop going. It broke my heart everyday but I now know it was the facility and not just her adjusting to a daycare setting. She is enrolled in a new school and is thriving. And back to her normal happy self. I hope this helps, I tried to be as honest as possible and this may be the right place for some kids but it definitely wasn't the right place for mine.

Warning to all: don't hire ever hire Cascade Pool Service in Glenside, PA. Several of the employees…read more are quite nice , but the owner, who identified himself only as Paul, is either the rudest and most unprofessional business owner ever or he's remarkably adept at weaseling out of financial responsibility for his company's incompetence by finding a reason to blame the customer. Long story short: we hired Glenside to close our pool last autumn, and the workers made a mistake that wound up breaking our pool pump motor. We reported it to Cascade Pools and sent pictures, as requested, at the time of the closing, but only confirmed that the mistake had broken the motor when our longtime pool guy opened the pool. It was urgent to get the pump running, so when we called Glenside and they were closed, our longtime pool person had to set up a temporary emergency fix to get it running in time for an event. Cascade Pools owner, Paul, called the next day, and oddly, quickly became defensive and incensed that someone else had helped us set up a quick fix to temporarily get it working, talking over me to hammer home that he wasn't paying for someone else's work (which I hadn't asked for) --and then, in a huff, hung up on me and refused to talk further. It's quite amazing: HIS company broke MY motor, but in the course of this brief and extremely unpleasant exchange, he shrilly demanded I explain myself, self-righteously accused me of an 'attitude' he embodied perfectly, refused to give me enough space to talk or actually listen, and then childishly hung up on me. My heart goes out to his employees; Iit must be a nightmare to work for him. In any case, Cascade Pools doesn't deserve anyone's business.

On Labor Day weekend I took my 11 year old son who has autism, with me to the Glenside Pool…read morebecause he loves to be in the water. We got there early in hopes of having an enjoyable day. Sadly, that day took a negative and very disrespectful turn for the worse due to an encounter with a older gentleman who made unnecessary derogatory comments to my autistic child, which were heard by pool goers. On this day, there was hardly anyone in the pool at the time of the incident and my son was in a small area of the pool. I was sitting on the edge of the pool watching my son when this man swam near him and started talking (I couldn't hear what he was saying) then he said loudly "Does this kid speak English?" I said "Sir my son has autism" and then he complained that he was trying to swim and he wasn't moving out of his way. So I asked my son to move towards me. The point is that this man could have easily swam around my son and or dealt with this in a more appropriate and sensitive manner. He totally embarrassed me with this unnecessary confrontation which was loud enough for others around us to hear. It tarnished my experience at the pool. This same man surprisingly did the exact same thing last year and even complained to the lifeguards that he was trying to swim and my son was in his way! I had told him then that my son had autism and he made no move to apologize for his insensitive comments and or behavior. As a resident of Cheltenham Township I do not feel that I or my disabled child, who has limited communication skills, should be subjected to unreasonable and insensitive experiences like this. If you have a special needs child, be vigilant. I complained to the Township.

Highly recommended summer day camp for kids Grade 1 through 8 during the month of July only. My son…read morehad a total blast at this camp and learned a lot with his fellow campers. College students in the education department lead this program, with close guidance from their professors. There are plenty of outdoor activities as well as indoor lessons.

We then emailed and called Angela Russell and she never responded. This was THE WORST EXPERIENCE ever and I honestly would send my kids to the YMCA instead. There was no place for my kids to go when they were overheated or dehydrated. Absolutely horrible!

I just thought of it at this moment when I hung up the phone with a friend that is sending her son to camp. It's one of the best choices my family ever made. I think I was social anyway but I truely believe this camp helped me develop extensive skills and aided in an open mind. It was mandatory that you engage in 3 activities everyday, you could not just sit around. You had camp counselors that you called aunt and uncle "such in such" which developed a personal and trusting relationship. I swam, fished, boated, archery, baseball....everything! There were dances and camp fires, your parents would send you "care packages" which they let you decide if you wanted to share or not but I know yoi what I'm getting at. You had to make your bed and clean up after yourself, they helped with laundry. If yiu got sick you would go to "jyro" (sp?) and you would receive around the clock care.... which is actually the reason I love Apricot juice!! When the nurse hands a kid a glass of thick, pulpy off-orange in color, you're like what the hell is that! I watch my sugar intake as an adult but when I get some I slurp it down. We ate in the mess hall all together and it was like a meeting with all camp attendees. We would then dispose our waste and they would weigh it after so we could see how much we wasted. I mean we're talkin 1980's we were already being mindful of waste. It's been over 2 decades so I have no idea how this place is run but if it is anything like what I described I would highly recommend you goet a vacation and send your kids to camp.
