New Image Restoration was hired for a fee of $1,000 plus tax to remediate a mold issue measuring 2'…read morex 1' x 2' x 1' located within the wooden structure above the bathroom ceiling (sheetrock). The contractor(s) from New Image Restoration removed and disposed of approx. 2' x 4' x 2' x 4' of the ceiling (sheetrock) that exhibited signs of mold, treated the exposed wood with a mold and mildew killer, identified the source of a leak, and recommended that I hire a plumber. I found the quality of the work to be satisfactory however, the identification of the leak was inaccurate, as no pipes were found to be leaking. The contractors were courteous and presented identification upon request before entering my home. Nevertheless, I consider the cost of the work particularly expensive for seniors given that it represents only (1) component of a (3) part job. Additionally, I was asked to sign a blank contract that stipulated a 50% charge, the cost was not explicitly detailed in the agreement. I had to inquire further to clarify this matter. Despite the fact that New Image Restoration was aware of my insurance company's $500 deductible, I was required to pay (2) both payments of $500 plus. Moreover, I began to receive multiple invoices totaling over $1,500 for services such as drywall repair, patchwork, priming, and painting, which were not performed by New Image Restoration or Super Steamer Carpet. It was also concerning to discover that New Image Restoration billed me through a subcontractor, Super Steamer Carpet, without prior notification regarding the involvement of subcontractors. Ultimately, I found it necessary to hire multiple contractors to complete the work on the ceiling mold issue. This experience has underscored the importance of inquiring about the entire scope of a project, including a comprehensive written description and a complete estimation of costs, accounting for any deductions.

Thrift & Thrive is the new, larger thrift store run by the nonprofit Domestic Abuse Project of…read moreDelaware County. They previously ran Nana's Attic in Broomall (now closed). I stopped by a few days ago to check out their new store. It's significantly bigger than Nana's Attic, which means it feels far less cramped. Yay! Still very good prices, the "yellow tag" items are consignment and generally higher priced than the store's donated stock. It about killed my soul to see an awesome vintage salt & pepper mixed in with newer dishes in a consignment lot. Aaah! Staff are great, the store is clean and bright. I'll definitely be back. Note: angled parking in front of the building is NOT free, Pontiac is a public street, and those are pay at kiosk metered spots.

I do not recommend going here. Thrift and Thrive has lost my business after 10+ years…read more As previously stated, I have been a customer for over ten years. I have been a customer at this store since it was called Nana's Attic. Today I was there, looking for furniture. The selection was a bit overpriced for the quality. Suddenly, I needed to use the restroom. The woman working informed me that they did not have a public restroom and that I could go to the Dollar Tree next door. The Dollar Tree did not have a usable restroom. I returned to thrift and thrive because, quite frankly, I was literally about to pee myself. I begged to use the employee bathroom. The employees lied to my face and said that there was no bathroom in the entire store. Yeah right, if that's true, then that's a worker's rights violation, and they would not be in business. I explained that I was having an emergency and they did not care. It really stinks to be a loyal patron of a store, then to be treated so poorly in return. Particularly during a vulnerable moment. There are plenty of better thrift stores in the area with better prices AND customer bathrooms. It's a shame that a store that has such a great mission doesn't provide a great shopping experience.

**Beware of Changing Lanes Daycare!! **…read more My experience with this daycare was beyond terrible!!! Especially when it came to how they treated my daughter, who has special needs. From day one, Chantell, the manager, assured me that they would work with my child through her behavioral challenges and support her as we were getting her into early intervention. However, their actions showed the complete opposite. One of the most shocking incidents was when staff threw clothes in my daughter's face and demanded that she dress herself when she was on the potty. They also snatched the tablet out of her hands multiple times when she was using it, treating her harshly instead of offering the support she needed. Two employees even called me to confirm my worst fears... That my daughter was not being treated fairly by the staff. (This was all confirmed through a phone call from previous employees who quit two days before because of how they treated children badly and they were not being treated fairly... They also told me that they were waiting for a reason to kick my daughter out..) When it came to money, they were extremely shady. One morning, they told me my daughter couldn't attend at 7:30am unless I paid the tuition that was due that day. They also claimed I owed extra money from that previous week (which we did not) Also I did not have receipts (Which is my fault) since I mostly paid in cash or Cash App, I should have known from there it was shady and everytime I asked for a receipt they would almost everytime make a excuse that some was not there or able to write me one or they would put it in my daughters bag). After giving them all my money, they miraculously "found" a letter underneath there keyboard with the portion from my daughter's father's tuition and went back through their logs to say I owed even more! After all this chaos, when I met with the director walking out after handing them all my money, she forcefully squeezed my hand during a handshake in a very unprofessional manner. It's clear to me that this daycare does not like working with children who have special needs. They kicked my daughter out as soon as the early intervention specialists started coming in. I've since heard horror stories from other parents about how they treat kids with similar challenges. They don't work with parents as a team to help the children; they just want to get rid of them. They didn't even provide basic care for my daughter. She came home every day in someone else's clothes, even though she rarely has accidents at home. She always had a bookbag full of pee clothes... The final straw was the day they kicked her out. My daughter scratched another child (which we deeply regret), but instead of handling it professionally, they packed up all her things and had them waiting outside. Chantell didn't even have the decency to call or email me. She simply met me at the door at 4:30pm saying, "Oh, by the way, this is you're daughter's last day of school," If you're considering Changing Lanes Daycare, think twice. They will promise you support, but when it comes to following through, they will fail your child in every possible way. They don't care about children with special needs and will go to great lengths to avoid providing the care and compassion they claim to offer.

As a parent and educator, I am beyond pleased and ecstatic to share with everyone my experiences…read moreover the last 8 years with Changing Lanes Learning Center in Norwood and Aldan, Pa. The owner, director and teacher, Dr. Naomi Pereira-Lane has been there every step of the way. Not only is she an advocate for her students and families, but her staff. Her staff are supported by her and follow through with the mission of the school. She supports families with resources, tips to help struggling parents, self-care for the families and staff so we are all successful within our educational and personal goals. Changing Lanes Learning Center provided an enriched learning environment for my three girls (12, 6 and 4 years of age). To know what a quality education setting is and having one available to foster my children growth and educational development has been a blessing. I have recommended this school to many people personally and professionally. I have referred students and families I have serviced in the regular and early intervention circuit. If you need a quality educational school for your child(ren) it is not a struggle anymore to know this hidden gem can be found in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

This review is based on two months in the infant room. I found Rising Stride while I was pregnant…read moreand there wasn't a waitlist like other places, I'd also talked on the phone with a parent who'd written a positive review. I wanted to love this place because their location is accessible and I liked that they have cameras. However, the camera access caused more stress for us because we saw how long they would leave our child in containers (swings, exersaucers) or on nursing pillows. I often tried to advocate for my child or ask the staff to do more activities during the day, but would end up feeling like I'd have to make up for it at home on weekends so we wouldn't be behind. We were in feeding therapy because of bottle feeding difficulties and trying to create positive associations with bottle feeding, but we saw on camera that they were forcing the bottle and setting our progress back. So we stopped sending them altogether and I'd go nurse in the back room twice during the work day. From all the time I spent there I became less confident that this was a place for my child to develop and thrive. They were inconsistent in enforcing their health protocols or delayed in notifying families (if at all). We decided to leave when the director told me I needed to come nurse more frequently than 2-3 hours like I was doing or get a doctor's note saying it's okay (it was totally developmentally appropriate by the way). I truly believe the teachers at Rising Stride loved on my child and did the best they could, but I don't think they are equipped for children that need individualized attention or have developmental delays. The staff were often overwhelmed and the environment felt very chaotic, even my child felt sensory overload and was distracted during feeds. I can say that since leaving we found a better facility that meets our needs and my child is actually comfortable enough to take a bottle with longer stretches in-between. I'm glad I trusted my mommy instincts, because the environment and fit really matters.

I had my 5 month old in the infant room for 3 weeks before I pulled them out. I am grateful we had…read moreaccess to the cameras 24/7 so I could see my infant spending HOURS at a time in the swing, which also included them allowing my child to sleep in the swing which is not allowed. I could see them violently rocking the crib to make my child fall asleep and also piling blankets in the crib while in there. I saw them put mini boppy pillows around infant's necks to hold up their bottles instead of taking the time to feed the poor babies themselves (it is state law that an employee must feed a child until they are 6 months old). The teachers did no activities with the children, no tummy time, no reading books, nothing. The teachers were not nice and warm, they did not respond to infants when they were upset and they spent most of the day on their phones. I also witnessed them taking an ear thermometer from child to child (without washing it) to try to find a child with a fever. Once they found a child with a fever, they all jumped for joy and called the family to come pick up the child. I would not recommend this daycare to anyone; there is a reason it was the only place in the area without a waitlist. I do want to point out this was in 2024, but with the recent happenings at the daycare in Oaks, I would regret not sharing my experience if it happens to save a family from potential danger. I would also suggest looking up the daycare review/complaints on https://www.compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch/#/childcareprovidersearch because this center has some pretty nasty confirmed complaints/cases.
