Our 6-year-old great grandson, Elliott had an absolutely amazing experience at Chatterbox Day Camp,…read morein Verona, this summer! Every day he came home full of excitement, stories, and new things he'd learned -- from creative crafts to outdoor adventures. It was clear how much fun he was having and how safe and supported he felt. The staff were incredible -- patient, energetic, and truly engaged with the kids. We were so impressed by the thought and care put into every activity. Elliott made new friends, tried new things, and came home MORE CONFIDENT and happy each day. We're so grateful for this camp and can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you for creating such a positive and unforgettable summer for our child!

Chatterbox has been so amazing for my son! He was initially going to an in home daycare and I…read morewasn't sure how he would adjust to a larger setting. The owners and staff were very reassuring throughout his transition. I absolutely love that they give daily progress reports for things that he's done and eaten for the day which was different from his previous daycare. Even with him being 2 he's learning and progressing ahead of his age group. What I appreciated most about the staff and owners is their love and care for my son. When he came down with a respiratory infection they checked on him daily to ensure he was okay. I am elated to see other parents walking out happily with their children as well. Mrs. Vanessa and Chanelle (the owners) are HEAVEN SENT! I also get cute little pictures of him while he's there for those mommies that have separation anxiety

Nothing but love! We just moved to Pittsburgh this year and…read moreneeded to find a daycare for our 5-year old son. Due to our busy work schedule, most daycare centers' hours just won't work for us. We were almost desperate until we found Gloworm, what a jewel in the rough! It would stay open till 8PM during week days and open on weekends as well. You can purchase 50-hour full-time package or 30-hour part-time package, and they would charge you based by the hours your kid stays there. For any unused hours during week days, you can use them during weekends for errands or shoppings in nearby malls. All the teachers are loving and sincerely care about my son. They arranged all sorts of activities during the day so the kids can learn and grow. My son always said that he had so much fun at Gloworm and made friends with kids of all ages because they have group session with everybody participating! We also send our 9-year old son during summer and he enjoys Gloworm as well much to our surprise. He would draw, cook, play sports and games during his stay there, and he loves the teachers and facilities there as well. One thing I really like Gloworm is that they will send multiple photos and videos everyday through Tadpoles and emails so I can see my kids grow and have fun everyday while I am away. Lots of great memories captured! I would highly recommend any parents who want flexibility in their schedule and love environment for their kids. They will have great fun and experience there!

Took a tour of this facility and was blown away. It put me at peace so quickly that I will have no…read moretrouble dropping my child in their care. It accommodates my flexible shifts and is super clean. Best part is their learning center and different activities that include a lot of physical involvement for development of my child.

Cara was very understanding and sent us pictures and plenty of updates on her first day. This daycare does more than just watch your child, they do learning through play! The kids get to go outside to garden and play with water. They even have an indoor playground (which is insanely amazing) for when the weather is bad. They helped make a Father's Day card/ mug for my husband which was a wonderful surprise! They're flexible with either part-time or full-time and the prices are the best you can find in the area! I couldn't recommend a better place.

I recently went on a tour of the program and although I liked what I saw, I did not like the…read moreattitude of the director. In my opinion, she was not very warm or welcoming to me. She kind of had a serious tone and wasn't helpful with giving me payment options and asking if I could afford it or not. She was very blunt about telling me the registration fee. It's like she was wearing a fake smile. Due to the impression that she left on me, I will not be enrolling my child. It sucks because kindercare has a great reputation and I want the best for my child but I do not want to have another interaction like that again with the director.

Words can't express how much we LOVE this KinderCare! The seasoned teachers and long-standing…read moreleadership are clear to see from first interaction. While I was nervous to start my son last July (mid pandemic), KinderCare always made me feel comfortable with the procedures in place to keep the kids safe! Now my 2 sons attend and the teachers could not care for them any better. Shout out to the infant teachers who have really raised two happy happy happy boys in those difficult months- both developmentally and mentally for me! Rose, Tia and Poli are the best! My toddler is always smiling on drop off with Janelle and Tracy. I have a demanding career in healthcare (what a time!!), and I know everyday they are so well taken care of and loved! The kids are thriving and LOVE coming to school. They are also so tired at the end of the day from the physical and educational stimulation that they sleep 12 hours straight (always helps!). I guess the only negative would be that the location might not be convenient for the work from home'rs, but I would recommend all my friends to this childcare without any hesitation, esp if it is convenient! Plus; they have an enclosed playground right on the square! Kids LOVE!

After one year I can confidently say that I love Mt. Alvernia Day Care and the staff feels like…read morefamily to us. I believe they genuinely adore our little girl. We're thankful for everyone there who has helped her along in her development, as we've seen her grow into the strong and smart and kind toddler she is. As childcare costs keep rising it is rare to find a daycare center that is upfront with you about the cost. This is the only place I have found in Pittsburgh that will actually tell you their tuition rates on their website. They have a waitlist for infants but we got on it during my pregnancy and had no problems getting our daughter in! I have to note that they will be moving out of their current property sometime in the future, but they intend to find a new home in the area, so we're hopeful that we can continue to rely on them for childcare. We're excited that they will be able to design their new location to suit their needs!

It is amazing the projects and experiences they have to offer at Mount Alvernia! Also the teachers and staff are caring, understanding, and treat you like family.

The facility is beautiful and designed with safety in mind. Healthy food is served, with a daily report on what your child actually ate at the end of the day! We love everything about this school-but especially the people! Everyone that I have encountered has had a positive, calm, and nurturing demeanor. I would have to say that our children are the true fans though! They absolutely love going to school and love running in each morning to greet their teachers and friends! I would recommend this school to anyone looking for great care for their children!

We are new to Primrose this year and have had a wonderful experience. The operational-owners are…read moreinvolved in the business day-to-day to meet parents, and staff is always available, and very responsive, to assist. Given the limitations in the industry, we have felt very fortunate for our daughter to have been placed with some of the finest Pre-K teachers we have encountered. Communication is consistent, clear and helpful to maintaining our daily routine with our child. The facility is top notch, spotless, and extremely inviting and comforting. Parent-teacher conferences were offered early in the year and proved valuable in translating the progress our daughter has made. The staff was attentive, willing, and more than able to answer all of the questions we had prepared. I would recommend this location to anyone considering a trusted, private daycare/Pre-K solution in the area.

My son has been at Hartwood for about 3 years now. I absolutely LOVE this place!! This is the…read moresecond daycare he has ever been at and there was/is a substantial difference of the two daycares. The ladies are so friendly, welcoming and loving to the children. The learning program they have and follow is amazing. My son thrives here and loves his teachers and the friends he has made along the way. I know when I drop him off, he is in good hands. They communicate well with the parents and offer multiple fun activities that the kids can participate in "outside" of the daycare (i.e. Gym Bus, Happy Feet, etc.). When my husband and I moved this past year, a big part of our location was so that our son could still attend Hartwood. If you are looking for a daycare that helps your child learn, grow and feel apart of something, I promise you won't be disappointed!!

The director is such a kind hearted person and it is reflected in how she and her staff interact with the kid. They are a smaller center. For us that translated to a warm family feel. Out so. Thrived here, developed great social skills and a love of learning. They truly felt like family! As a parent that is the goal of these early years. We had just moved into the city when we sent our younger son to Milestones. At the time we sent our older son to a local private school for Pre-K (thinking we needed to "get him in early"). In hindsight, he didn't need academic structure and rigor at age 4, he needed to feel secure, cared for and loved....knowing what I know now, I would have had him sent him to Milestones for one year of PreK while his little brother was in the 18 mo old group. For us Milestones gave us piece of mind everyday we dropped our son off...it truly felt like an extension of home!
