My husband and I (and our daughter) are so grateful for this school. The administrators, staff, and…read moreteachers are all excellent. Not only are the teachers highly trained, qualified, career educators; every staff and administrative member here seems highly qualified and committed to creating a positive, educational environment. The curriculum and resources are wonderful, and the space (particularly the renovated rooms) beautiful. They offer flexible schedules with many different options for working parents or those that just want their child to benefit from the Montessori mornings. We really appreciate the fact that they foster, teach, practice, and celebrate diversity. One of our favorite events was the school's International Dinner. The outdoor space is great, and they have art, tumble tots, and music programs weekly, special events for the kids throughout the year (such as animal visits, ballet shows, music performances), in addition to the Montessori program and the after-care options (which features a lot of creative play, cooking, and play spaces that are updated with new themes monthly). I strongly believe that any childcare setting should make you feel happy whenever you walk in- and that is the case for us. I love walking in to Bala House. To be honest, I was actually very worried and unsure about starting my daughter in a Montessori school. I had never had this experience and from the outside the teaching model seemed a little cold and isolating. Also, my daughter has a ton of energy and I was worried she'd be too wild to sit nicely on a little mat "doing her work." And I was worried about the class size- 24 kids seemed like a lot. But, I was surprised to find that despite being on the young end, she sits and focuses on her projects. She seems to enjoy the opportunity to choose activities for herself, and she gets tons of interactions with other kids, in a mixed-age setting (she loves the older kids!) She's made a ton of friends and is learning so much- socially, emotionally, and academically. And- many days she begs me for more time at pick-up, which I take as the most important stamp of approval ;) I also have to note what a great experience this has been for us as parents, to have this community. When we moved here from out of state last summer, not only did my daughter quickly, happily, and easily transition into the summer camp program (a great way to transition in, by the way- although they also have "phasing in" days for new students to help with this process) - but we also had an instant network. It was easy to make friends through the school's many events and parent's association. It is a community I'm enormously grateful for. Finally, I have to give a shout out to Miss Adiya. We love you! :-)

The groups I have seen led by a tall thin man in a hat and a small middle age woman have often nearly brought me to tears. The man is verbally abusive to the children and his coworker. I see this group frequently enough to know it's not just a bad day it's how these kids experience their days... Holding on to a rope and listening to the bickering and frustrated ranting of an adult who seems deeply unhappy and incredibly irritated every day. Working with two and three-year-olds is hard I am sure, but this professional, the man specifically, seems to be temperamentally unfit for the task.

Linda and Bill, along with other staff members, take the time to get to know the kids individually, supporting their personalities, interests, and developmental needs. My son is always so excited to go each day to see his friends and tell his teachers all his stories...he loves to chit chat! His friends and teachers at Totally Tots are usually the topic of conversation each night at our dinner table! Whether you are dropping off or picking up you will see either Linda and/or Bill. They are both approachable, supportive, and responsive to any questions or concerns. It gives me such peace of mind to know he is in a safe, nurturing place where he is truly cared for and loved. They notice and remember the little things which makes us feel so special! Since starting here (at 4 months old) my 3 year old son has been very happy! His speech and vocabulary have grown immensely and I can tell his social and emotional needs are cared for daily. I highly recommend Totally Tots! Not to mention it is very affordable!!

Edited a week ago Let me start by saying it took me a long…read moretime to write this review. I will continue to edit my review till more people see it. I was informed by a previous teacher ( floater) who was fired for contacting DHS that, I should removed my child from this center because a child was injured by a teacher who is still the Lead classroom teacher in the toddler room. However no parents were informed of the state coming out in October 2024. I found out April 2025 from a teacher who was fried. The Director gave ZERO Transparency and she didn't tell any parents. The whole situation is chaotic, frustrating, and traumatic! I myself made a called to DHS to further investigate because if I can't get a straight answer from the centers own Director other than "This could tarnish my reputation" that let's me know what else is being swept under the rug, and not reported in your care. DO BETTER!!! It takes a huge level of trust to put your child in the care of people. As a former ECE teacher myself, I observed very questionable situations, such as the same little girl standing idle in a corner on multiple occasions when I dropped my daughter off. On another occasion, all the lights were off throughout the center at 5:15 p.m. while I, along with two other parents, stood outside calling their phone until an assistant teacher finally came to the door to let us in. Additionally, staffing ratios upstairs do not seem appropriate for the number of toddlers they have. It often feels understaffed, which is concerning for this age group, as they require a great deal of supervision and engagement. On top of that, they allow the toddlers to watch TV upstairs. At this age, children should be learning through play and interacting with each other not sitting in front of a screen. I would encourage other parents to seek childcare elsewhere, and ask them to question them about the incident that happened at the center, and why no letters info was provided about the investigation.

Where do I begin with this diabolical place? First off Parents beware! This place says it's a four…read morekeystone star daycare however operates like a 1 star. I'll start from the beginning. My child suffers from acid reflux which about 1 in 4 of all babies have. I told this daycare about her condition and they reassured me she'd be well taken care of at their facility. So before even enrolling my child here I spoke to her doctor and she gave me a note to give them on how to properly feed my baby and keeping her upright after feedings. On her first day I had a long and extensive talk with the infant teacher, and again she reassured me my child was going to be in great hands there and they would do the pace feeding and holding her upright for 30 minutes after feedings. So fast forward a month why was I called at work by the receptionist and told Friday was my child last day and "would I like to speak to the director?" Uhhh yeah shouldn't the director have at the very least called me in the first place and not put it on the poor receptionist to do her dirty work? The director begins to tell me that my child will not be able to keep attending their daycare because they cannot give her the attention she needs and proceeded to tell me again how Friday will be her last day, mind you it's Tuesday. Are you kidding me?? So I ask if she will be at the school at 5pm because I need to have a face to face meeting with her. I was told she will be there until 3 pm. I said fine I'll be there by 3 pm. So I get up to the school to find the director sneaking out at 2:15 pm. Im telling y'all this place is a joke. So to her annoyance we go upstairs to her office to discuss my child, keep in mind she has been going here for over a month and I have never seen this lady Angela Huc before. The meeting was pointless this lady Angela had no regard for my concerns or the inconvenience of finding another daycare on such short notice. In the meeting I expressed how they open at 6:30 am however the infant teacher won't be there until close to 7 am. They forgot my child's daily report most days. I would pick my child up to find her with clothes that was not hers. I was told by the infant teacher that my child pooped too much and was only allowed 3 poopy diapers a day! My child also developed and diaper rash while in their care and when I went to pick her up I found her skin broken and raw, somebody there obviously was wiping her way too hard! Again this is not a four star center. After the meeting I went to the infant room to see one of the teachers not feeding my child upright like I Instructed them to do, but everyone is wondering why her acid reflux is flaring. However at this point I just wanted to try and finish out the week so I didn't make a fuss. Ms. Angela Huc must have didn't like my criticism of her one star daycare because when I went to the front desk to check out my baby for the day, I was told that actually today would be her last day and they had all of her stuff packed and ready for me to pick up. I was actually kind of impressed because they never had her daily report so readily available like this. So I say all of this to say unless your child has zero health concerns they are not welcomed here. Enroll at your own risk.

Our family is SO happy we went with Primrose!! Go take a tour, meet the teachers and staff, see for…read moreyourself. We can't say enough great things about Primrose, we are thrilled with our experience and how our son has blossomed since starting there. Our experience is with the infant rooms. We visited Primrose early in pregnancy and were blown away. After touring a couple other daycares afterward (including a well-known one in Philly with a big name and long waiting list), we canceled the rest of our appointments because we knew nothing else would measure up. The first thing we noticed was the security of Primrose's space, which is very tight, despite being in the middle of the city. While others may have a gate or someone near the door, we immediately noticed the two sets of doors entering the building, security cameras outside and inside, the staffed front desk inside the door (who somehow know all of the children AND parents/caregivers by name!), the sign-in book for guests, and the keypad for child sign-in and out. The tour was great (MUCH more thorough than other places we looked)--Ms. Terry took us through the whole building from the infant room up to the older kids' rooms, showed us the play rooms, common areas, kitchen, etc. and explained the details for each room, curricula, schedules, procedures, safety, you name it. She answered all of our questions and then some. The teachers in all of the classrooms seemed engaged, enthusiastic, and patient. We were impressed, so we put our name on the list to start our son there when he was four months. After spending that four months at home with us on parental leave, we were sad to detach from him and hand him over to strangers. But Primrose made that first day so much less stressful and emotional than we expected. First off, we had an orientation before we started to ask last-minute questions and become acquainted with procedures, etc. They didn't forget we were coming and greeted us and our son by name as we walked through the door, were supportive and welcoming, and gave us a little mini-orientation that morning. We signed up for the Tadpoles app to receive pictures of our guy throughout the day and daily summary reports. Another reviewer complained about this app, but we haven't had a single issue with it, and it has completely changed our feelings about leaving him for the day--it's awesome! We love getting little snapshots of his activities, and the daily reports are great both for keeping us up to date and for planning. We can't rave enough about the teachers and staff here. They are thoughtful, careful, sensitive, attentive, caring, creative, kind, thorough, enthusiastic, fun...we could go on and on. We feel loved and cared about, and like part of their family. We have not witnessed any of the turnover issues other reviewers mentioned. Allison runs a very professional, clean, well-run operation at Primrose--any questions, issues, concerns we've had over the past several months have been attended to immediately and with compassion and professionalism. They have set the bar extremely high for child care for our family. We are moving out of town after almost a year here, and Primrose will be one of the things we miss the most!
