Learning Train Academy (LTA) on 19th and Bainbridge is one of the best parts of our life in Center…read moreCity. Our daughter is nearly three now and has been here since she was a newborn, and we cannot say enough good things about Tasha and her remarkable team. They feel like an extension of our family, and they have created a warm, caring environment that never compromises on quality or professionalism. She has been through all three rooms, from the infant space with cribs, to the toddler room, to the classroom-style space downstairs for the three and four-year-olds. Each transition has been thoughtful and supportive. The growth we have seen in her, respectful, adaptable, social, and confident, is due in large part to the people here who treat every child with genuine care. One of the things that sets LTA apart is the consistency of the staff. We often hear about daycare centers struggling with turnover, and this place is the complete opposite. The team here stays; they are dedicated, and that stability creates a sense of comfort and familiarity for the children. It makes an already wonderful environment even better. The team deserves individual recognition. Miss Jackie, Miss Yaneira, Miss Jontae, Miss Honey, Miss Samaya, Miss Ikram, Miss Karen, Miss Nafeesa, and Miss Sabrina are all wonderful. They are kind, steady, patient, and trustworthy. They strike the right balance between flexibility and clear boundaries, making daily life so much easier for working parents. The facility is clean, well-organized, and welcoming. It has everything a child needs without feeling overdone. The building is secure with key entry, and the app they use makes check-in, check-out, payments, and communication simple. They share monthly learning plans and respond quickly if we reach out. The value for the level of care is excellent, especially given the location. There is also a real sense of community, something we did not find anywhere else. The children are sweet and happy, and the atmosphere reflects the warmth of the neighborhood. The parents are wonderful too, and seeing the same families every morning and afternoon adds to that sense of connection. We love how everyone contributes to the friendly, supportive environment. On nice days, they take the kids to nearby parks, and they celebrate holidays and local events, including big Philadelphia moments like the Eagles' Super Bowl run. It feels down-to-earth in the best way, very much in the spirit of the city. We looked at other options but chose LTA for its convenience, its atmosphere, its reasonable pricing, and the community values it fosters. We have trusted the staff with babysitting and pet sitting, which says everything about how much we rely on them. Our newborn twins will be joining soon, and we cannot imagine sending them anywhere else. We feel fortunate to have a place like this in our lives. Thank you to Tasha and the entire team for everything you do for our family.

If you are like me, your kids mean the world to you! I decided to go back to work in 2012. My…read moreyoungest was 11 months and he just had surgery. I got the call to start work shortly after! One of the biggest decisions of my life came to the forefront! I had to enroll my children in daycare so that I could take the job that I wanted. I did so and Natasha who is the owner of the daycare made my transition back to work so easy! She was very hands on with Suhayb(my youngest who had surgery). She took care of him with so much love and gentleness! She sent me pictures and answered all of my million calls. I am forever grateful to have had that support while going back to work!! All three of my children grew up in this daycare! They started before grade-school. Their initial educational values, educational concepts, good behavior, and love for learning came from The Learning Train. Aside from this being one of the most professional Daycare that I had the pleasure of putting my children in, my children became their their family. You can drop your children off knowing that they are safe, well loved, being taught and literally being raised with the best values and education. If you are looking for a center that nurtures your child, gives the best education, is filled with beneficial activities, listens to your concerns as a parent, reassures you that your child will always be safe and is dedicated to providing quality childcare, then you've found the right place to enroll your children!!!

Prior to enrolling my children I did look at other day cares in the area. Most of them were not very clean, their rooms looked sort of dingy, and I just didn't feel comfortable after speaking to the managers. I would recommend parents look at other day cares, but then visit this day care. I'm very happy I have my kids here and if that was not true then I wouldn't bother writing this.

This was her first child care experience which lead to scratches on the face, bruises on the wrist from grabbing my child. The first red flag was the teacher bringing her out like she was yanking her the second was my child screaming and saying oww now the scratches and bruises and no one is able to explain??? Idk why the state isn't investigating this facility. Diaper rashes, directors not caring about the children, teachers treating them like garbage.. ITS A PRISON with a pass code lock on the door literally!!! PLEASE DONT PUT YOUR CHILD THROUGH IT.

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.

One of them is currently one of the best students at Girard College in the first grade and he is 7 years old. His reading level is way more than a first grader and it is due to the solid foundation he got form Discovery place Preschool. The other child is at Bell Avenue but still being picked up by the DAY Care and she is also doing great. My experience with them since 2014 to date has been very supportive. There were some challenges at the beginning with some staff because of cultural differences but it improved with parent and staff meetings. I am so thankful for their support to my kids. May God bless all the staff, cook, cleaners who had been part of helping my children. Mariatu Jah.
