DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! Former staff speaking here!…read moreThe playground there is a black top nightmare. It reminds me of a prison school yard. The kids can take out the toys, but there aren't many options for the small black top yard. The lack of kitchen is another thing. All the food is microwaved and there are no fresh meals except peanut butter sandwiches sometimes. The staff are rude to the children and talk bad about them constantly in front of other children. Some of them play favorites and it shows. Some of the staff are also lazy. Miss Martha would leave an autistic child strapped into a high chair for hours on end just so she didn't have to keep him out of trouble. She would leave him in a soiled diaper all day long, not changing it unless absolutely needed. Then would also send him back to the toddler room so she didn't have to watch him. The toddler room teacher let this boy roam free and just kept an extra close eye on him, which he needed. Another one of the teachers would complete her school work while she was supposed to be monitoring the children. They constantly over ratio the students and the lack of toys and books is disgusting. The toys are kept out of reach of the children and they are not allowed to play with them unless the teacher says. They only have a slim selection of toys as the owner does not want to keep buying them after the kids break them, a typical expense of running a daycare. The books are nonexistent for the same reason. If a child's play breaks anything, she doesn't replace it and leaves no resources for the kids to engage with, constantly getting them in trouble with the teachers for misbehaving due to boredom. And don't even get me started on the lack of care. I witnessed illegal issues and brough it up to the owner only to be ignored after providing the documentation requested. The owner's sister is a joke. She only cooks and never helps with the kids properly. When she does, she's short and rude. Her daughter is also a huge bully to the other students and she tantrums when they don't what she wants to do. The teachers were instructed not to make copies of resources to teach the children. We were told to only print when needed but were expected to keep the children educated and entertained with no resources, educational videos, or worksheets/activities. Some of the staff were very friendly and loved the children like their own, Azra, Pashtoon, and Badriya in particular, but the rest of the staff were short, rude, and cared for only the money. Do not send your child here if you care for them!

Her home was very clean and orderly with the children happy and well behaved. I was very impressed!! I am a stay at home mother not really because we can afford it but because I have felt by the day care options where I live due to quality interaction and price we cannot afford for me not to stay home...If Janet was available in Nashville I would feel completely at ease leaving my precious girl with her. Janet has a caring, easy, direct way about her that you will much appreciate!! I encourage you to use her services anytime! She offers caring interaction and activities with your child! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to find her while visiting this city! What a blessing!!

Lice went around daycare. You were only notified through a app when there was a lice outbreak. No letters sent home or notes on any doors. When I left the employee accused my daughter of bringing it to the center. The director that worked in the same building told me that a kid had it the week before she got it. My fiance worked on the road so we did end up paying when he returned and this was okay with the owner. If this was no okay then something should have been said. Many people walked out without paying the owner what they owed. We paid the owner everything that we owed before we left. My daughter ended up getting a simple bruise from playing at the center. Yes it happens they are kids! It was not a big deal until I had three different teachers tell me 3 different stories. The day I left the daycare they did not give back all the bottles that were mine they simply told me the owner would call me. Ok. No problem. I never got a call. So I reached out the next day and was told they only had one bottle. I then told her I was not leaving a good review for them because of all the issues that happened. I had a employee talk to me about my finances that were between us and the owner. I am not sure why her employee knew this or felt the need to bring this up to me when she reached out to me. It was not her say to discuss my finances with the daycare. I feel the owner should have reached out to me and NOT one of her employees. I have attached the word by word of the text that was sent by the employee that cares for the children at the daycare. At the end of the day this is NOT how things should be handled with a daycare!! Cynthia you've been MONTHS behind on payment and still brought not one but BOTH of your children. Becky SHOULD NOT have allowed you to even walk through the door but she did. Build a bridge, get over it and get your child more bottles and a new outfit. If you couldn't afford buying more things for your child and couldn't afford care then you shouldn't of had more kids‍ Good luck with your next daycare because they won't allow you to get away with HALF of the stuff Becky did

The director was very generous to the staff, and follows strict guidelines set by the state of PA. The center is located in a safe neighborhood with locked, fenced in yard and security cameras installed. Home cooked meals are prepared daily for the children. The owner has been operating for 33 years and is a certified nurse. Weekly news letters and daily communication to parents are through the class dojo. However, it is up to the parents to read them. I still the center from time to time to do evaluations and the program is amazing. I always leave there in awe of what the kids are learning. I am also friends with them on Facebook. I make unannounced visits and there is never a classroom out of ratio. The children have many centers that are loaded with play materials enough for more than one child to play at a time. There are play areas set up that offer many learning experiences including STEAM and a computer area. I think this is one of the BEST daycare and preschool centers in Northeastern PA. I would highly recommended it.

As a parent, entrusting someone else with your child is one of the hardest things to do--but from…read morethe moment we walked into ABC KiddieKampus, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. Our 4-year-old had struggled with separation anxiety and was behind on speech milestones when we first enrolled. We were nervous, hopeful, and honestly a bit overwhelmed. But the team at ABC didn't just meet our expectations--they exceeded them in every possible way. The teachers here are incredible. Patient, intuitive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Within weeks, we saw huge changes: our son was communicating more, excited to go to daycare, and coming home telling us about his "friends" and "Miss A." They took the time to understand his unique needs and strengths and truly partnered with us every step of the way. We especially appreciate the little things that add up to something big: the detailed daily reports, the frequent pictures of his learning and playing, and the way the staff greets him (and us) by name every single morning. They celebrate his milestones like they're their own--and as a parent, that means the world. Today, he's more confident, socially engaged, and hitting his developmental milestones with joy. And honestly, we couldn't have done it without ABC Kiddie Kampus. If you're looking for a daycare that feels like an extension of your family, this is it. Forever grateful, -- A Happy Parent
