I have been thoroughly pleased with the care and guidance he has received. He starts kindergarten in the fall, & I had the choice of enrolling hin an after school program that was much more affordable than theirs, but I have made those types of decisions based on money in the past, and quite frankly I've learned my lesson. You get what you pay for. The staff at kids on 12th is knowledgeable and helpful, and the energy in the place is great! I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for part/full time care for their children while they work.

This review is for their swim lessons. Breanna has been our instructor for about a year now. My…read morechildren were very fearful of the water and Breanna has been great with them, she has just the right amount of gentleness but also pushes them to get over their fear. Steer Clear of JUDY she is a very nasty and gruff woman, and from what I have observed of her, should not be working with young children. I will preface this by saying I am not a person that overreacts and if my children are not behaving in a respectful manner they are corrected immediately. Judy seems a little unhinged, she screamed, not even yelled or raised her voice but screamed at my 4 year old son because he reached inside of her lollipop bag (the kids get to choose a lollipop when their lesson is over) before I had a chance to dry him off. She snatched the bag away from his hands and then watched him and my daughter with disdain on her face to make sure they didn't drip water in the bag of lollipops. This is one of those incidents that you kind of have to be present for to understand. Her behavior seemed unhinged. I feel awkward leaving this review because, like I said, I am not a very sensitive person and if my child is doing something wrong I would expect the appropriate measures be taken to correct their behavior. This was so far beyond that, this woman is nasty and mean. She should not be working so closely with young children, she does not have the temperament for it.

After being diagnosed…read morewith dyslexia the summer after kindergarten, he was reading a year behind by the end of first grade in public school. Fortunately, at Woodlynde, he was able to catch up with his classmates. If your child is facing similar challenges and there's a way to make it work, go visit Woodlynde and see the difference for yourself.

Woodlynde claims to value equality and holistic education for all students. Our experience at the…read morehs level did not reflect those principles. They are rigid and inflexible. Rather than adapting to the unique need of a child, students are expected to fit within a predetermined box that fits the needs of administrators (&some teachers) more than the child. Since our child did not fit that box, there were incidents where our high schooler was treated unfairly. There was 0 consistency. More concerning, there was lack of support for students social/emotional well being. This culture starts with the Head of School. His leadership style comes across as egotisical and unwilling to consider other perspecitives.

Please don't let the other review deter you from checking this school out. My son is a student her…read moreand he loves it. The teachers genuinely care and it shows. Staff is friendly and courteous. My son learns something new every day. Every week I get a lesson plan so I know exactly what he's learning. My son knows his letters, shapes, colors, how to spell his first and last name, sounds and he's only THREE! The school holds activities every month after hours to get families engaged. This week there are having movie night, next week they are taking a trip to a hay farm. Parent and teacher relationships are encouraged. Accidents are reported to me immediately. My son fell from his chair at school and his teacher called me to let me know what happened even though he didn't have any bumps/bruises. I really appreciated that. I could go on for days, but just know that this is a good school.

Don't let that deter from the receiving the best child care you possibly can. The staff care about the students and ALWAYS ensure their safety. Being a former student, I HIGHLY recommend this school.

Oh I think I heard it was a scholarship or tuition based school. What it takes to qualify I don't know. You gotta do some research! My advice to scholars: straight A's, state standard testing and extracurricular activities and hobbies and travel when young are the way to go! All the best luck to the kids who do go here!

5.0 star rating 3/16/2014…read more First to Review I have been to a dozen different day cares in Delaware County and by far all of the Step by Step Learning Centers are far superior than the others I have inspected. They offer: college educated teachers, they have four stars with the Keystone Stars Program, they use creative curriculum at its highest level incorporating field trips and guest speakers in various occupations who come and speak to the children. This isn't your typical Child Care Center. This is an Academy that develops brilliant children. My children never want to leave and I am always impressed with what they have learned each day. Whether your child is 6 weeks old or 13 years old there is plenty of activities to keep their minds occupied. Don't waste your time going to other Day Cares, Step by Step is the place for intelligent minds and caring teachers and their rates are very reasonable

A few of the professor's i've had in my MBA program just read off a powerpoint, but the ones that cared went the extra mile. I've learned a ridiculous amount in just a semester. The work load is insane if you max out credits but totally worth it. Pick their concentrations related to data. Other majors seem to be less inspired from what i've seen in core classes. The highlight for me is that their 2 year MBA can be completed in one year if you go HAM. Swayed me over nearby schools for sure.

Your child may be viciously bitten in the arm by a small boy with an eye patch and buck teeth. My son will be traumatized for LIFE due to this terrible act of violence, and the institution did nothing other than suspend the culprit for three days. NOT ENOUGH. This environment of propagated violence is completely clear from the moment you drop your son or daughter to this creative "learning" center. Children begin their day by singing ridiculous songs about sharing and mutual respect, and are fed terrible snacks conjured up from some liberal health nut's cookbook: something like California Raisins and saltines. My kid may have scurvy for all I know. No gluten or nuts are provided due to other student's allergies. IT IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. From there, it only gets worse. instead of learning useful skills like mathematics and balancing a personal checkbook, the kids play silly and aggressive games like duck duck goose and "Baby in the Air" whatever the hell that is. It sounds like abortion to me. The instructors, and I use that term loosely, spend at least a half an hour reading to the children instead of trusting in their own abilities to make out the meanings of books by helpful pictorial guides. Then, after lulling the kids into a state of hypnosis with soporific stories and undernourishment, the teachers tell the kids they can just pull out a sleeping bag and take a nap. These are kids, aren't they? They have LOADS of energy and don't need to be treated like hungover teenagers. Besides, I don't want my young boy coming home energized by preschool after I just spent a 9 hour day at work. I want him to feel like he learned something, exhausted by the new and fascinating world set before him, not amped up on games, puzzles, building blocks, and world literature. After my son's dental shanking, ER visit, and five stitches, the school had the NERVE to settle this between us and the little bastard's parents. and when pressed by his "attorney" father and "interior designer" mother, do you know what that wretched boy claimed? He claimed he bit my son after my boy kissed his girlfriend and pushed him off a swing. EWW. The fact that a four year old would even imagine having a girlfriend offends me. The school must be promoting sex or showing one of those subversive Disney movies like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid: both trashy films about interracial dating and bestiality. So you heard it here first. Ignore the overall five star rankings on Yelp and take it from me. Miss Joan's Little School is garbage and creative learning breeds violence and promiscuity. I'm sure the nearly 40 years of "preschool excellence" are about to run up, and I'll be the first to have seen it coming.
