I've seen these good and bad reviews and I would like to add on to everything that's been said. I…read moreworked at Four Seasons for a few years and I can tell you the younger girls that work there are the ones you will love. These girls work hard and treat your child like he/she is their own. Caitlin Clegg (toddler 1) Lauren Westerfer, Sara Myers, Caitlin Higgins (inf and ps) I've seen first hand the way the four of them get involved with the kids, and parents as well. These girls are actually friends with majority of the parents! They get emotionally as well as physically involved with the children. Caitlin C. makes her own projects for her kids and they are more than creative. She strives for the best she can possibly do with the toddlers and has never failed to make a parents day. She is very hard working and the kids adore her. Caitlin accomplishes things that no one else could do with our management. Even when stressed she does whatever she can for the kids and is always looking out for their best interest. Lauren has great, friendly relationships with almost all of the parents as well as their children. She is a big child at heart and she'll act like one when playing with them and they love it. I've seen her get very involved with them, and the kids absolutely love her as much as she loves them. She is a very hard worker and does everything she can possibly do to make sure what needs to be done, is. Sara also has many friendly relations with the parents as well as kids. She has a great attitude and loves the kids. Although she is at school now she keeps in touch with them. Sara is also a big kid, she plays with the kids and they love her. She is very caring and responsible. Sara and Lauren have been said to be a lot of parents favorite workers. Caitlin H is a hard worker and overall nice person. She does whatever she can to make everyone happy. Caitlin H was in the infant room for years and has now moved to the head teacher position in pre school. Although I have not seen her work up there I know she will be doing great. She is very attentive and caring with these children and wants them to have a great time at school. She does what is best for the children and goes a long way to make sure she does. Caitlin does everything in her power to make sure the kids will learn what they're supposed to and that they have fun doing it. Creating games, songs, etc. for the kids to make learning time fun! These girls were always the ones Id hope I was working with that day. I've heard parents say that these girls are great and really pay attention to the needs of their child. All of them babysit also, as if working all week wasn't enough they spend weekends caring for the children too. The girls are the most caring group I've met and your child will absolutely love them. If your child is with any of these three they are in the perfect hands!!!! Now, on to the others that I've seen be reviewed. Donna (director) is rude to say the least. She talks to all of the workers as if she is much better than them. Donna is lazy, needy, and very ignorant. She talks about everyone, whether it be a kid, parent, or worker. EVEN THE BOSS! The infant room workers are also lazy. They are constantly going out for smoke breaks and complaining about the babies. Sharmane and Darlene are the works in that room and they are very rude and ignorant as well.

There are multiple reasons why I would not recommend this child care facility. First, during the…read morestart of the pandemic we removed our children from this facility due to the fact that schools were virtual and we no longer needed the coverage. The owner was given ample notice so that a replacement could be found. We were required to pre pay two full months in advance and requested our money back (not a small amount for 2 kids approx $3,700). The owner stated she would not return the money even though no services were provided as we paid months in advance. This was frustrating and we went through the proper channels bringing her to small claims court. We won our case and were awarded the full amount by a judge. The owner has still refused to pay even though she is court ordered to do so. In fact there is a sheriffs sale being held at her property as a result. The owner and business itself are not hurting for money by any means as the owner drives an $80,000 suv. Also we were willing to work with her and be understanding of the pandemic by only requiring half of our money back, she refused leading to the court case. The owner is extremely dishonest and spiteful and utilizes unethical business practices. I would recommend finding another facility so that you will never have to experience a situation like this.

I have had my son attending Kids Point since he was around 10 months old and he just turned 2 now…read more They have been amazing with him. He loves going there and has learned so much. There are daily updates and photographs so I can see what he does during the day. They do arts and crafts, librarian visits, parties, serve actual hot food, and have even started potty training him. Small and personalized so the teachers know and care about all the kids. I would completely recommend them for anyone who needs childcare.

But, by the end of the first week, he was happily reaching for his favorite teacher at morning drop-off :) The small school size allows for children to receive individualized attention, and the instructors were able to welcome my shy boy and draw him out so that daycare was something he looked forward to! Every instructor I met seemed to really enjoy working there and caring for the kids, which soothed a lot of my parental guilt (haha) and left me feeling confident that he was in good hands. Highly recommend!

As new parents we were so nervous dropping our baby off but Susan and the staff made us so comfortable by calling and letting us know how he was doing the first week. The staff truly loves what they do and you can tell. They have been so cautious during COVID. Susan the owner has such a passion for taking care of all of the children in the school. Susan puts the children's health and safety first which is extremely important to my husband and I. We would not take our son anywhere else because we know that he is so well taken care of there and has advanced so much already. Thank you Susan for all of your hard work and building such a wonderful community at the Goddard School of KOP.

They send photos and videos every day to share how my daughter is doing which really brightens my day as I work. The photos and videos are of her learning with sensory objects or art projects. My daughter has never cried upon drop off- the whole team at this school has a high energy that gets her excited to be at school! They have outside time weather permitting and in the summers they do safe water play. They handled the pandemic with much grace, keeping us informed and aware of plans and have been open for several weeks now with safety measures in place. I am so happy with our choice and highly recommend this school to others!!

When we first moved to Philadelphia, our daughter was five months old and had never been cared for…read moreby anyone but my wife and I and our extended family. I was very apprehensive about putting her in daycare and I knew nothing about what to even look for in a daycare. At Growing Tree, I felt at ease right from when I walked through the door for that first visit to check the place out. The staff is incredibly friendly and each and every one of them cares a great deal about their work and approaches every day that way. My daughter grew to love it very quickly while the staff was very accommodating of my overly concerned checking in on her during the first couple of weeks. The facility is spacious and has lots of natural light, great toys, and a large outdoor space (which also has lots of nice equipment). They are also fully supportive of cloth diapering, which was great for us. The staff was very responsive any time we raised any concerns (which was very rarely) and always wanted to work with us to make things better. The prices are also incredibly reasonable considering the quality of the services provided. Finally, the daycare also puts on lots of great events and excellent programming for the children of all age groups without any added cost. My daughter is now 2 years and 4 months old and I'm devastated that we have to leave Growing Tree because we are moving to Chicago for my job. Growing Tree was one of, if not the best thing for our family about living in Philadelphia and I have no doubt that had we stayed here she would have continued there right through their pre-K program. In the time we were at Growing Tree, my daughter went from being a baby who could barely roll over to a toddler who plays in the sand and talks about everything from kitties to stoplights and the teachers and staff at Growing Tree were there for every step of the journey nurturing her development and helping us so much along the way. It's difficult to put into words how much this means to me, but it's something I will never forget. When my daughter talks about the teachers and staff at daycare there is so much love that is evident in her voice and my heart breaks that she has to say goodbye. But, I take some solace in knowing that her time here has built a foundation for the rest of her life--not just because she learned how to drink out of a cup or sit in a circle, but because she also learned how to have a friend, how to treat people with respect and kindness, and what it means to be a part of a community. Especially now, the world can be a really horrifying place but every now and then you come across people who make you feel good about humanity and I felt that way every time I dropped my child off or picked her up at Growing Tree. The people there have changed my daughter's and our lives for the better and she is just one of hundreds of children who will get to benefit from being in such a nurturing environment thanks to their selfless efforts.

However, we were so dissatisfied with the infant care and another "state of the art" shiny facility that we couldn't bring ourselves to take him back. We took another look at Growing Tree and my mommy instincts felt at ease. My son is taking some time to adjust, but he is being nurtured and loved through the process. The staff here is PHENOMENAL. The people are more beautiful than any new building could be.

There was a time when Ms. Tyesha would ask me when I was having another baby and I said NEVER! Then came along Cassidy. And I remember while I was pregnant how excited she was to have Cassidy in her class. I remember the first time she held cass and how nervous she was. From 6 weeks old to one years old she has helped raise my baby. I can say she has fed my child even clothed (she gave Cassidy a gift card). Now I know Cassidy is no longer in her class but she will always be my baby teacher. Every morning Cassidy runs into Darlene's and the first person she goes to is Ms.Tyesha and she gets her hugs in. And best believe before she leave that center for the day she runs into her classroom and gets her goodbye hugs in as well. I love and appreciate how she loves on my daughter and how my daughter is comfortable enough to love on her as well. Now let me speak on Ms. Jay for a moment. I met her halfway through when she was in Ms. Tyesha class and I've seen how Cassidy is with her and how at ease she is around her. She can be sitting on the floor and cass will walk up and sit on her. I love the fact she knows cass love to eat and a big snacker and how she will sneak her an extra snack because cass will start crying when her food is gone. It really be the little things she does that I catch and I know my child is in good hands. Like if cass is wearing white she will change her outfit so she doesn't mess it up. I'm grateful that she was the one to stopped giving Cassidy her pacifier. And she helped with that transition because I didn't know how to do it. I'm grateful that she is entering the toddler stage with me and thankful for her help in raising Cassidy as well. I know this two paragraphs turned Into a mini essay fast. It's hard to write a sentence without wanting to say everything. I'm grateful for all the women at Darlene's even Ms. Bree because she was cass teacher at one point. And I love how she filmed cass first steps. I'm going to end it but I just want you to know that you employed some wonderful women. And I can say my child definitely has the best teachers! Sincerely, Cassidy mom

From the tour to the first day was nothing short of amazing. The whole staff was welcoming and kind. The place is clean and very well organized. They provide diapers and wipes in the infant room! I get daily reports and often chat with the teachers when I pick my daughter up. As a first time Mom with little family around I find myself asking the teachers lots of questions. They are always very helpful. Wish I had know there was a pediatricians office next store before I picked my daughters doctor or we would probably be going there too. I highly recommend Kindercare.

My daughter and I knew we would love COA when we first toured it with Ms Sandra the director. My…read moredaughter started her learning path with COA September of this year. She's a preK student. She has two great teachers by the name of Ms Amanda and Ms Angie, my daughter admires these two women so much. Learning: her teachers have broaden her knowledge on so many things from counting, problem solving, expressing herself, learning the letters in the alphabet and not just by singing them. She's learning how to tell the difference between lower case and upper case letters. Learning about her body parts and how they function. To even diving into fine motor skills and gross motor skills. Going over the roles people play in our community was another. There's much more but that's all I can think of. Events: the events they have are great and brings a huge smile to the little one's faces which just warms our heart. Child updates: I enjoy receiving daily updates and pictures of what my child is doing in preK as well! Another main reason I chose COA Security system: what COA has in place is great and is another main reason why I chose COA. Everyone that we personally have encounters with at COA has been nothing but friendly, kind, sincere, caring, compassionate, and respectful. To name a few of course her teachers Ms Amanda, Ms Angie, then there's Ms Sandra, Ms Daina, Mr Mark, the Chef and the front desk lady (sorry if I spelled anyones name wrong). There's so many others too I just unfortunately don't know everyone's names. I love how COA promotes a supportive learning environment, academics, social, emotional, physical fitness, and health development. I believe their motto is "Mind and Body Matters." Which you can see throughout their curriculum. My daughter loves going to school. I know she feels valued, respected, and safe. The kids are great too, she's made so many friends. Never not once heard anything bad about what other kids do to each other or to her. Once my youngest turns 3 I will definitely apply for her to attend preK here at COA too. Thanks COA team for making Olivia's preK journey so far extraordinary. Ps - so sorry for the rant!

The first year we were there it was fine. Ms. Charlene was the best teacher we could ever ask for…read more There were some red flags that we realized but nothing too serious until when Ms. Charlene would call off and there was a sub, all hell broke loose. I watched as she would drag the kids because she was trying to clean. But the second a parent walked in she could somehow pick them up gently? By the time my baby went to toddler B, which had no Ms. Charlene I will add, it got worse. There was a video them reading to the kids and there was a split couple of seconds where a little boy started hitting my daughter. Instead of doing anything the teacher recording chose to cut out my daughter who was getting hit and tackled while the other teacher continued reading like nothing happened. They had more slides that showed my daughter still being hit and they just ignored it. There were a couple instances where my daughter would come home with bumps, like she got hit or somrthing, on her face and when I would ask what happened all of the teachers would say they don't know what happened and they weren't in class at the time. No accountability at ALL!!! Finally for a good year I've been paying almost $300 per day after coverage by CCIS, I voiced my concerns since i was even getting charged when my daughter was absent due to getting sick. After I got approved and it was her last month in Children of America. They called me and my husband saying that they can lower the co pay to $50 and if it was too much we can even lower it to $30. Where was that when I was spending almost a grand per week? Now that I'm leaving you want to help me out? If it wasn't for Ms Charlene trust me, my daughter would be out a long time ago. The teachers for the toddler class has put me on edge, are rude to me, my husband, and my kids who pick up my daughter. They don't watch my kid at all even with me paying a $300 for co pay a day!!! I should've pay more close attention to the red flags a long time ago.

Total scam. I don't have experience with the quality of care here, but this location basically took…read moreour money for a waitlist spot ($150) and we never heard from them again. I literally called them myself every few months on several occasions only to be told that we were "several down" on the waiting list each time. We paid the waitlist fee in August of 2021, and in late 2022, I got an email notification (out of nowhere) that we had been removed from the waitlist. By that time, luckily, we had already enrolled at The Goddard School, but thank God we weren't depending on the Malvern school, and thank God we had somewhere else to put our daughter. I had such a bad experience with them during the initial waitlist process that I'm sure we're better off not enrolling my daughter there anyway, since communication obviously isn't a priority for them. They currently have a sign up that says "Enroll now for Fall", which is laughable. More like "Enroll now and you might hear from us in 2 years, or maybe not at all, but we'll gladly take your money anyway." Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. The Malvern School location in Malvern had a child abuse lawsuit filed against them, so I don't trust the entire Malvern franchise or any of their locations now, period.
