I take my 2 y. o. granddaughter nearly every week. There are so many wonderful things to explore…read moreand learn from. They have a walking path through the woods with a natural playground and sandbox, a bird house building to watch and interactive displays, a mini zoo inside a house with small animals and activities including a treehouse. They also have weekly activities and seasonal events for elementary school kids. My granddaughter calls Briar Bush "The Animal House" and loves to put a donation in the collection box before we leave.

I wish I could rate this more than 5 stars! A nature center/museum and I don't have to do the…read moredrive downtown/pay for parking...and admission is free for Abington residents/friends of Briar Bush? Amazing. (Admission otherwise is only $3 for adults and $2 for kids 2-17). There's animals/insects inside such as owls, huge cockroaches, giant turtle, snakes. And a cute reading corner full of nature books. There's also a discovery den AKA play area indoors for $1. There's animals/insects outdoors such as turkey vultures, turtles, a butterfly house and a bird observatory (cute on the inside with toys for the kiddos - be sure to read the story about the couple who opened the center). And a natural playscape outdoors. There's also a bunch of fairy houses throughout the property that girl scouts donated. And lots of trails through the forest. They also have Magic Mornings for ages 2-4 Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays - but register ahead as they only have a certain amount of spots each day (it's seasonal - they have in fall and spring but not summer - see website). It's an hour class for $10 and includes a snack, craft, nature walk etc. They usually pull out an animal each class. It's great to get some time in nature with other kids. In summer, they have a full week of Magic Mornings in their Itty Bitty Briar Camp. Ms. Heidi teaches it and she is just great. They have a different theme every day such as sun, water, clouds etc and there's an activity each day (visit pond and catch tadpoles, water play, craft pertaining to theme). They have preschool pioneers for ages 4-5 and summer camp for older kids for a week in late June. *Just beware in June that parking is limited due to school field trips and you may not fit in either of the lots; you may have to park out front of the house to the left (which is fine - she just doesn't want buses idling there) They also have field trips to gardens and to the shore, classes for seniors, family nature nights, hot smores nights... Only negative (besides parking, which they can't really control), is the "snacks" for kids at Magic Mornings aren't the healthiest. One was cinnamon sugar graham crackers with whipped cream- regular would have been fine. 2 days were cheddar gold fish. Another day was blue jello with whipped cream. And some red licorice - the kind that whips. Fruit Loops were used for colors. So, if you don't like your child eating sugar, let them know you have a dietary restriction or bring your own snack (snack time is ~10 min and probably not needed but the kids always love snack time!). Some options that would be healthier and just as easy would be pretzel sticks, fruit, crackers, popcorn, veggies, string cheese...but I guess those all cost more besides pretzels/crackers/popcorn.

Horrible, terrible, and outrageous. It is a bureaucracy that…read morethinks of themselves as elevated to a level that experience-only cannot buy. In other words, just because they've been around forever and have a ridiculous contract with the district does not mean that they are remotely close to a quality care institution for children. I was horrified that I even let my child be alone there for the short amount of time we were 'registered' - a mere few days...and $800 later - only to be refunded a couple hundred. There is NO curriculum, they don't actually DO anything with the students but herd them into classrooms or a gym. I heard a thousand complaints from them about the 'new' facilities and how much they DON'T know, and every question I had about curriculum or process was met with the same - it's a new facility. I still have the SAME expectation and pay the same price - there should be NO excuses. How hard is it to take a tour, come up with a plan, and put on a good face for the parents and students! No checking ID's. No introductions or tours. Nothing. And can somebody please get their employees new ID badges? The torn up, taped up things they have dangling around their necks are a true reflection of the kind of service they provide. Worn out, sloppy, and sad. We are now scrambling at the last minute to figure things out. Don't go down that road. Or, see for yourself. Ask for a tour. Stop in and see the kids in the morning just sitting there or playing wildly in the gym. Homework you say? I don't even think they will know the child'd name by the end of a few months let alone helping them with their homework. Snacks? a few pretzels. Outside time? ONLY if they have certain footwear - otherwise - it's back inside to sit in a classroom like a dog.

My son is a returning Goddard kid. He spent the summer there this year after he transitioned to a…read morepublic school PreK program last year. Prior to that he was at Goddard from 5 months until 3 years old. We have always loved Goddard and this summer was no different. The admin staff, the teachers and the owner Pallovi are all so welcoming, professional, kind and caring with not only the children but the parents as well. Any concerns you have, Pallovi takes it serious and addresses it right away. The teachers go above and beyond for the kids and my son had an amazing summer there this year. We love our Goddard family and would absolutely recommend them for your little ones... 10/10.

My son has recently flourished in the toddler one room with Ms. Nicole and I have noticed massive improvements in his speech and vocabulary. The teachers care about their kids a ton. The school also gets regular updates to the building. There are nice events put on by the staff too.

Makes me cringe to think what you probably said about my 2 children. Never did I say anything about the quality of care and teachings of the staff . They are in fact the reason why you are in the running for Best of Bucks. Some advice is instead of calling former customers liars who could have potentially given you and your chain positive future reviews, you should try giving feedback that is professional . You now have shown future customers how you handle situations. Point proven, in reference to my last review as to why we left instead of seeking a solution.

They are teachers so they can send their child there for free or at discounted rate. My child was there less than a year and had 4 different teachers. They do not know how to handle difficult situations with children. My child has come home with bruises on multiple occasions and they blame the incidents on my child saying it was because he was running, or not listening or something he did for the reason for the bruise or mark. Not the fact that the teachers don't pay attention to the children! They have no patience with children and do not know how to handle if a child acts out. They treat all children different and if your child has a bad day they don't know how to handle it they call you to come pick them up in the middle of the work day. The center directors are having a hard time running this school and finding qualified respectable teachers. I would absolutely recommend going somewhere else. They also lie about the behavior of your child. They called me and made me leave work one day for a "behavior issue" but couldn't find this said incident on the camera but did find a incident of my child being hit over the head with a toy crying and not one teacher came over to see if he was ok or to reprimand the child who hit him. They pick and choose their favorite children. Its horrible. Not to mention the 2 time tuition hike in less then 10 months. It's really sad the way my child was treated at this center. Oh there "help" with potty training is a joke, my child regressed since he started here. The center directors are your fake happy people, cant be trusted, lie and just out for the money not the well-being of your child. Also, my child has went to the school knowing how to count, spell his name, abc's etc and has not learned one bit of new knowledge in 10 months! Which again is because the staff is uneducated and not qualified for the job.
