Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Teacher interaction and classroom lessen plans are excellent. The new administration is doing a great job. The room size and decorum are good but can improve.
Parent #2
Ownership has increased fees tremendously over the past year. The center has a ridiculous 9 hour max and a hefty fee if you go over that time. I think they know that a person who works a full time job can't possibly drop off and pick up their kids within that time so they can make more money. This new ownership also has experienced a large turnover with staff. There have been some days recently when I didn't know the staff when I dropped off my kids. There is no introduction when new staff arrives and no notice when staff quit - which has been happening alot lately. Needless to say I am not happy with this place and am getting my children on waiting lists elsewhere.
Parent #3
Before I would have rated this school with a 5 star, however, it not too long ago was bought by a new company (used to be subsidized by Jeanes Hospital). I think that now they are experiencing some minor pangs from this change, however, I am fully confident in the care my children are receiving. I would not send them to any of the other schools I toured in the area. This is where I felt the most at home. Both of my children have been coming to this center since they were young infants.
