This place recently relocated to 101 Plush Mills rd in Wallingford PA in an old school building…read more While the staff and activities deserve four or five stars, the new location only deserves one, if any stars at all. The Wallingford location is old and run down. When you walk into the building you are met by an intense and pungent smell of mold, so anyone with allergies to mold should stay away. Next, the place looks like it has not been cleaned the past ten years. It is outright disgusting. Floors are covered in a thick layer of dirt and dust. Disgusting when the kids were encouraged to have bare feet. There is a play area with toys with an old shag rug and toys covered in dirt, dust and old hair. These include even toys for infants who mouth everything. So in a place like this with several events every day and a ton of kids touching and mouthing the toys, they should really be washed every day. Not every year! To the owners: Seriously - clean this place up so it can be fit for kids! And get rid of the mold, so you won't end up with a visiting allergy kid having a severe asthma attack!

We're huge fans and we're only on day three!

I thought their selection of items was very good, and the staff was very helpful. The place takes walk-ins, but asks for reservations for groups of 5 or more, probably because most of the tables hold 4 people. It's located in a strip mall, so there was plenty of parking. They also have other projects, such as mosaics, but the pottery is what we were there for. We had a good time.

This daycare has been a huge disappointment. It's clear that the wellbeing of the children and…read morefamily is not a priority here. The staff show little to no engagement with the kids, they spend most of the day chatting among themselves while the children are left unattended, bored or ignored. Some of the teachers are outright mean and impatient, showing no warmth or care. But thanks to Ms. Tracey, Jamira and Ms. Rebecca. To make matters worse, the new director seems completely overwhelmed and disorganized, offering no leadership or meaningful improvements. Communication is poor and there is absolutely nothing nurturing or professional about the environment anymore. If you value your child's development, safety, or happiness this is not the place.

They use the ProCare app, which makes it easy to pay your bill, get updates, sign forms, and chat with the staff. The director is thoughtful and caring and has made a clear commitment to excellence including going for the next Keystone STARS "star". The teachers are caring, kind, and provide great structure. They move through weekly themes in the classrooms and have art projects, stories, and songs that align with the theme. They play a lot but it's not just free play all day every day. The use age-appropriate activities and curriculum. Our two-year-old can now count to ten in English and Spanish, and her language acquisition has been nonstop. It's clear the classrooms are under control and the kids are well supervised and cared for. As a parent you can just tell if your kid's diaper is being changed often, they're napping well, and they're being cared for. Our daughter loves her teachers and classmates and talks about them all the time. The facility is clean, organized, and secure. They even refresh with holiday decorations and have celebrations for the kids, teachers, and families. They do periodic "Parent Nights" where for way less than a babysitter your child can stay late at the Center. The kids go outside to the fenced-in outdoor play area whenever weather allows and have a glass-enclosed play space when it's too cold or wet out. There's plenty of parking so pickup and drop-off is easy. We have had a great experience and highly recommend ELCA!

Sometimes it's hard to step around it! That says just as much about some of the clientele as it does about the staff. Maybe the YMCA can't afford cleaners? It can be a really filthy place, as other reviewers have mentioned. Even the tennis courts usually have lots of fuzz and debris on them. On the positive side, the coaches/trainers are super nice, and the staff at the desk are polite, even if they are not too proactive or interactive.

This is a review of summer camp. I sent my child to one of their specialty camps last summer and…read moreshe and the other campers were treated poorly. They were denied snack time and had their slime that they made taken away and given to other kids. The reason for this was a pocket-sized light was found in the pool after their group got out. The camp instructor tried to get the kids to "confess" as to who took the thing and basically punished them when no one spoke up. As if the kids would know who did it. When the camp director finally got back to me when I emailed her, she admitted that one of the kids could have accidentally put in their pocket and that the "punishment" wasn't appropriate. I wouldn't send my child to this camp again.

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 Community Arts Center is tucked away down a local street, and I was concerned that I was lost--thankfully not the case. I had a great visit. The building feels like a living, breathing tribute to art. There are multiple floors for hosting classes and events. There is a kiln for firing pottery on site. Even the grounds are beautiful, with lots of art and sculptures resting around the walkways outside. The Tea Bowl Exhibition was very well done. I bought a ticket for a Japanese tea demonstration, which was really interesting and enjoyable. I thought I'd be at the Arts Center for an hour, but I stayed much longer to check everything out. If I lived closer, I'd definitely look into taking classes here. For now, I look forward to my next visit for an event or exhibition.

I wanted to try something new out of the ordinary and found the right class in this place, ZENTANGLE. Marie (instructor) guides each student into different levels of awareness, meditating thru lines, figures and shades becoming a complete drawing. She begins with breathing exercises and leads you as soothing music is played in the background. The class is a couple of hours and trust you'll leave there relaxed and proud of yourself. You don't need to know how to draw or have any particular talent to getaway in your own piece of art. I give it 5stars because of Marie's unique techniques, close parking, picturesque campus, clean bathrooms, and ZENTANGLE's ballroom classroom in the 2nd floor is quite elegant, each corner says a story. Must experience.

The staff is absolutely wonderful--caring, attentive, and truly treat my child like their own. They go above and beyond the standard curriculum, offering so many enriching activities and hosting multiple events throughout the year that actively engage parents and showcase the children's creativity. The outdoor play area is fantastic, with a large grassy space that gives the kids plenty of room to run and explore, plus fenced-in play areas with fun, developmentally appropriate play equipment and toys. Every morning when we arrive (right at opening due to work schedules), the staff is already there with smiles on their faces--and so is my son! He's excited to go each day, which speaks volumes. The facility also makes safety a top priority. Access is secure, with entry controlled by keycode and monitored by a ring camera--staff greet parents at the door and let them in individually. When someone other than me picks up my son, staff verifies they are on the approved list and checks ID without fail. I really appreciate that level of diligence, care, and security. Another big plus is the use of the Brightwheel app. It makes daily updates seamless--check-in/out is easy, and I receive updates and photos throughout the day that give me peace of mind and help me feel connected to what my son is doing. My son is absolutely thriving here! Enrolling him in Li'l Tykes has been one of the best decisions I've made. Since he started daycare, I wanted him to be in a place that feels like he's with family. We found it at Li'l Tykes! He'll be here until he's ready to go to kindergarten! I cannot recommend Li'l Tykes enough for anyone looking for quality and reliable childcare.
