My daughter loves this school and so do my wife and I. My daughter has attended Little Learners…read moresince she was 1 and is now almost 3. In that time she has learned many things, but her language and social skills are what have really stood out to us. By age 2, she was saying her ABCs almost all the way through, counting as high as 20, and identifying shapes and colors like a pro. We're very thankful to have a school that is both affordable and flexible with her schedule, as it changes from week to week based on my work schedule. All around Little Learners is a top notch preschool. We know our daughter will be be prepared for Kindergarten.

A local institution…read more P.I.C. has conscientiously built up the quality of the service it provides families in the area, encouraging the development of professional child care staff and offering a working model to many other child care providers. Parent participation in the workings of the program is considered essential, which won't fit with the expectations of those who would just drop their kids off in the morning and pick them up at the end of the day. For those who are comfortable with this 'cooperative' approach, it helps the children absorb the lessons of work-play-learning integrity.

This review is for the playgroups they offer on Mondays and Fridays…read more Last year when it got cold, we were itching for a place to send our Au Pair with our daughter so that she can interact with other kids. Full blown day care was out of the question since we're already dropping dime for our Au Pair. A number of inside parks are on the pricier side, and further away. But the Parent Infant Center, also known as PIC, is close to us and very affordable. If you buy a 5 pack, it's $5 per visit. There are toys, lots of other kids, and they even provide snack time. They usually do some group songs and offer other activities. If you are up for helping, which is a super easy gig, you show up at 9am and help set up. Breaking down is even easier and typically happens while you would be there anyway. In exchange, they don't ask you to pay for that visit and give you three more free visits. Not too shabby. The crew is very nice and this is a great option for kids to interact without footing the bill for full blown daycare.

The…read moreteachers are caring, thoughtful, and complete experts at instilling a love of learning in young children. They write weekly emails with pictures and descriptions of children performing their Montessori "works" and are very responsive to questions or concerns. The kids always get to play outside, almost no matter the weather, and if it is nice they sometimes take field trips around the city or down to the Schuylkill river. There is also a small garden outside where the kids grow vegetables. My daughter has learned so much over the past three years. She never wants to leave at the end of the day.

This is not a school for black children. my daughter was made to feel awful here and tested even…read moremore horrible by the director Amy. she was treated differently and so was my family and I.. it's like they couldn't figure out how this in g black couple could afford to take trips and send they're child there. From the 1st day the other parents all Caucasian gave nothing but dirty looks and fueled racism.. I've never wanted my young child to experience such nasty behavior especially from adults and the director herself. Once my daughter expressed she didn't want to go anymore that was it. Besides the fact she learned NOTHING.

My husband and I moved to Philadelphia in the fall of 2017. Our baby had just turned 6 months and…read morebefore the move we were actively looking for a childcare center. We were disappointed that most centers were full and required us to be on a waiting list; however, we were pleasantly surprised that Bright Horizons had a spot available for our little one. We met with Laura, the director who insisted that we also bring in our 6 month old. Laura was very warm and disarming as she explained the curriculum and addressed my concerns from properly heating the breastmilk bottles and feeding schedule to when our daughter would be moved to the step up rooms. We are very much hands on parents when it comes to our little girl so we love to engage with the staff and ask how the day went and what the children learned. The instructors were very accommodating in terms of our expectations for our child. I am delighted that this is not just a daycare where I pay someone to change diapers and feed my child, but that there is a clear learning experience for all ages. We have had a couple of hiccups in relation to payment schedule/tuition fees. However, we were able to maintain clear communication with Laura and she was able to resolve those issues. The parents now have an app for Bright Horizons that include drop off notes and hourly updates on feedings, potty/diaper changes, nap times, and the lesson for the day. My last point in this review is that the classrooms are diverse. I haven't met many parents but the ones I see passing in the halls between dropping off or picking up my children are from many backgrounds. It is encouraging to know that this learning center fosters an environment of diversity at such a young age and we are happy to continue to support this education center.

We have truly loved our time at Philadelphia Cathedral Learning Center. I enrolled my daughter at…read more10 months in the part time infant room, knowing that she's a rather *vocal* and *discerning* (read loud and picky) baby. She was a terrible napper at home and feeding was a challenge for me but within a few weeks, her teachers had her taking long naps and eating all kinds of things! They've definitely given me some tips. lol. I could tell that the staff really cared for the kids. Many mornings even the Pre-K and Kinder teachers would greet her by name! And Laura, the site director, has just been fantastic in being available and well-aware of how my baby is developing. It wasn't uncommon that Laura would see me in he hallway and update me on how well my daughter had napped that day or wanted to tell me about a new skill she was trying. Because my daughter started walking at 9 months, Laura worked with her to transition her to a room of bigger babies before her first birthday. This was really key for her because this exposed her to more activities, outside time (which she totally loves) and foods that the younger babes don't participate in. Unfortunately, we had to leave because it was no longer convenient for my commute but we really enjoyed our experience there.

I toured Chesterbrook Academy in the early spring of this year with Lisa, the director. Once I saw…read morethe building and met the staff, the plan was to send both of my children there for summer camp. Then everything shut down due to COVID. I really liked that the school communicated with me often about plans for reopening. Summer camp did not go as originally planned but my kids never said that they were bored or didn't have a fun summer experience. After summer camp my 5 year old was able to stay for kindergarten. In the last month since kindergarten started his vocabulary has grown so much. I get daily, weekly, and monthly communications about what is going on. Because of COVID restrictions I can not physically enter the building but I feel very much connected to his school. My only regret is that I did not send him to Chesterbrook sooner!

He's also learning a ton, more than what I could ever teach him myself. The teachers are all super caring and his current teacher is very responsive and proactive with letting me know how he's doing. Their facility is quite nice, especially with recent renovations. They also have a spectacular rooftop play area. They have a ton of activities: soccer shots, gymnastics, yoga, music with Mr. Joe, librarian, and special guests with animals or a magician. There's a special activity every week, if not more often. They do SO much every day, I know my son is enriched and well supported by all the teachers at the daycare. We are so happy and proud to be part of the TGT family.
