    ***GO ANYWHERE BUT HERE***…read more Disturbed to know that this place treats people unfairly because of their economic status. Not to mention the staff are a bunch of phone-addicts constantly texting or on social media sharing memes/posts all while laughing out loud and the children play with no care. Not cool that the lifeguards can't take their jobs serious enough also but hey that's what you get from a place like this. Even spoke to an employee who confirmed that they don't treat everyone fair because of their economic stature, and the unfair treatment of the ones that do care about the children. No one reprimands the lazy and the ones with work etiquete have to pick up the slack, they weren't going to be around much longer because of this. Glad my kids don't go here, and if they did I would pull them out and get the news all over this place. It's 2021 people, you aren't entitled to anything, and you aren't better than anyone because of you economic stature or the color of your skin. This isn't the last you've heard of this. Sending in the cavalry.

    The swim instructors could be different every week which bothers me because of the amount you pay…read morefor swim class. Not many are good, very few are. The bathroom needs upgrading, the classes could be better and more consistent. Overall, the programs they offer and the amount of variety they have would and has me coming back every week. They could improve on so many things to make this a great place for kids to older adults come.

    Delta School on Byberry Road in Northeast Philadelphia is an amazing place…read more It is a fully accredited school for children with special needs due to autism, neurologic or emotional issues that make mainstreaming them in public schools highly problematic. It has been around since 1958 on a lovely small campus. Children from surrounding Philadelphia, its suburbs, and New Jersey can send their students here for a quality education geared to their individual requirements. The administration, teachers, and staff are specialized and totally committed to their mission. I was fortunate to discover Delta School and its CEO, Stanley Stein, as part of the Newtown Creek Coalition's work to protect and preserve the natural watercourse that runs through our community. Delta owns property right along the Creek (smart investment), and our non-profit approached theirs about doing projects together to create an access to the Creek in a natural, inviting setting that could be utilized by walkers, hikers, bikers, and students. Open Space funding is available to make this happen, but it takes time and understanding of what is possible in exchange for what is given up. As the lead for this effort, I sought out Delta School and arranged a meeting to give them our vision, and their part in it if they wished to share. We are in preliminary discussions, but having the opportunity to visit the school, talk with the visionaries running it, and watch some of the students on campus, was heartwarming and laden with respectful appreciation of what was going on there. The world is a much better place for Delta School. May they continue to help children change their lives and prepare them for the road ahead.

    I attended this school during 3rd grade for one full year in the 60s. That one, single year…read moretraumatized me for the rest of my life. I was placed in the front of the school in a room with approximately 10-12 other children with ADD. We did well in subject matters but had trouble staying focused and seated. What I do remember very well were the beatings we all suffered from the teachers. One was named Lauer, possibly Alfred. Back in the 60s, they used old-fashioned yardsticks to keep us in order. They would beat us until we cried. We had nobody to appeal to, as we were just a bunch of 7 year old munchkins. How bad could we have been? Lauer would first verbally torture the children. Then, if we reacted in an adverse manner, he would take his yardstick, which was never far from him, and beat the living crap of the child in his sights. Although we were not part of the larger school with many autistic children, we did have lunch with them in the lunchroom. I remember quite vividly those poor souls being beaten and abused by the staff. They never tried to hide or cover up the abuse. Delta School and others have been successful for the past 5-10 years at deleting my eyewitness account of what went on in this hellhole. Every time I post what happened there, they complain and my review is deleted. Next time, I will file suit and testify in Philadelphia court. This is a truthful account and they want it quashed. If you love your children, DO NOT send them to this school.
