The classrooms are designed to meet the needs of each age group, enrich each child educational needs all while having fun, and very very clean! Kiddie Academy Of Warminster school year program as well as there camp program is 100/10. My children are always experiencing the best of things as well as always participating in a FUN- UNIQUE activity. This center also has family events outside of business hours that are top tier and sometimes involves special guests which engages with the community and creates relationships with the staff and families! Being apart of this childcare center you will immediately learn that the staff at this location from management to the teachers to the lovely lady who prepares the meals always go above and beyond for both you and your child and that your children are in a safe, loving, growing environment. It is safe to say that my children will attend this childcare center until they are to old to do so and that I appreciate the work that each staff member does to ensure my child has a great day every time they are dropped off and placed in their care!

This daycare was not the right fit for my family. It did not meet my expectations and the cost does…read morenot justify the lack of care received. This was my childs first time in daycare and I made that well known, even sent a little "about me" email to help staff get to know her upon arrival. My daughter did not adjust well and even though management/ownership was quick to respond and try and accomodate the problems I was having they still fell short because the resolutions would only last a day or so. I felt like I was dealing with a sales person and a lot of the time the resolutions included "this is what I found in my research on the internet" or "we just went over this in a training course". It felt very unprofessional to me. I felt like I was complaining about care all the time ontop of now having a miserable child everyday. I tried to give it time and see if she was still just trying to adjust to being in daycare but after four weeks it never got better and my intuition told me it was time to go. I witnessed staff leaving my child unattended to fend for herself during drop off as she cried no one came over to console her. Daily reports were often incomplete and later found out also inaccurate. The school offers a webcam service so you can check on your child during the day and on days they noted she had napped my poor kid was actually just sitting on her cot for 3 hours waiting for her daddy to come get her - even packed up her own bed as she waited. They didn't pull her aside for a quiet activity as discussed when I toured the facility. I had to repeatedly ask for access to the cameras - it was about 3 weeks before I contacted the company myself and signed up while I waited for the owner to approve access, I felt that to be a little odd. Covid precautions are not in place here - it is a complete free for all. No one wears masks including the owner. She wanders from classroom to classroom around the kids. She told me she has a breathing problem I didnt believe her because even her staff would take them on and off throughout the day - I saw this on the cameras. Parents were allowed to come in and out of the building - no masks - no temperature checks - nothing. I understand getting the kids to keep them on is a battle in itself but the adults should know better. Even after having a positive covid case in the building none of this improved. And everyone's opinions are different regarding the masks but for my situation I expected this precaution to be taken, just want to note it in my review if this is important to you like it was to me. During nap I saw staff laying across the floor on their cell phones. They all arrived to work as if they just rolled out of bed in sweatpants. Sweatpants that hung down low enough that their underwear hung out as they sprawled across the floor during nap time. The owner insisted this was when they were updating the childrens daily reports on the app for the parents but my app was never updated - activities for the day weren't even listed toward the end of my daughters stay there. My daughter was there for 4 weeks and had 3 different teachers - none of which came with any kind of educational background. I know that hiring is hard for everyone right now but I figured I'd mention this incase it's important to you, cause it was to me. I had hoped for more structure during the day and activities but during the four weeks we were enrolled, my kid came home with one project the majority of the day the kids were left to entertain themselves. This is what I witnessed when I finally gained camera access. Being as though my daughter was new to this type of scenario I had hoped staff/teachers/somebody would help get her involved in other kids play groups but this did not happen they let her just be by herself. I would try and follow up with the before care staff and everyday it was the same response "she's getting there". Which made me feel like my kid wasn't even being paid attention to, this was the same staff that left her crying by the door for me. Behavorial problems were a big red flag for me. My kid is sweet, funny and energetic and during her time at Kiddie Academy she grew more and more miserable. It's heartbraking that they didn't care enough to even get to know her. The staff here is not nuturing. Once a fantastic eater she stopped eating throughout the day. She's completely potty trained and would just stop going. It broke my heart everyday but I now know it was the facility and not just her adjusting to a daycare setting. She is enrolled in a new school and is thriving. And back to her normal happy self. I hope this helps, I tried to be as honest as possible and this may be the right place for some kids but it definitely wasn't the right place for mine.

This is a little gem in our community. If you are considering pre-school's for your child. I…read moresuggest you check them out. They have a very small class size, so lots of interaction with the teachers. The classes have a high diversity of children. I know there are kids of many different heritages. They have lots of events scheduled month to month to make it more enjoyable for the children. They have early drop off and a "lunch bunch" program if you need to have your child stay longer. The staff are very pleasant and personable. They are very flexible with your child's scheduled days, if you need to change things up. So, if you want a high quality pre-school that your child will enjoy, check this place out. Our son has loved the two years he has attended and we are ready for his third and final year coming up.

You would think a newer school would be at an advantage but when you have teachers that are unresponsive, uninspiring and checked out there is not much you can do. This was all very apparent for us even at the kindergarten level with our child's teacher (JC). Specials teachers are hit or miss. My child would have nice details to share about their time in STEM, art, PE and library, but then couldn't really share anything of value from music despite my child's love for music outside of school. Office staff are friendly and organized so at least the school has that going for them.

I was placed in the front of the school in a room with approximately 10-12 other children with ADD. We did well in subject matters but had trouble staying focused and seated. What I do remember very well were the beatings we all suffered from the teachers. One was named Lauer, possibly Alfred. Back in the 60s, they used old-fashioned yardsticks to keep us in order. They would beat us until we cried. We had nobody to appeal to, as we were just a bunch of 7 year old munchkins. How bad could we have been? Lauer would first verbally torture the children. Then, if we reacted in an adverse manner, he would take his yardstick, which was never far from him, and beat the living crap of the child in his sights. Although we were not part of the larger school with many autistic children, we did have lunch with them in the lunchroom. I remember quite vividly those poor souls being beaten and abused by the staff. They never tried to hide or cover up the abuse. Delta School and others have been successful for the past 5-10 years at deleting my eyewitness account of what went on in this hellhole. Every time I post what happened there, they complain and my review is deleted. Next time, I will file suit and testify in Philadelphia court. This is a truthful account and they want it quashed. If you love your children, DO NOT send them to this school.

For six years our children have attended Jolly Tots Little School. When seeking a childcare…read morefacility we had a strong desire to find a place that focused on the development of social skills such as kindness, sharing, and personal boundaries. We desired outdoor play and the core values that shape a child's personality as the root of a school's structure. We knew that national facilities have high employment and enrollment turnover as well as canned academic curriculums that force certain skills before children are ready. Many of us who enroll our children at Jolly Tots are educators, and we see the importance of a balanced approach of social and academic development and the need for these to be age appropriate. Jolly Tots is just that!! Our children view Jolly Tots' teachers and schoolmates as family. When it's weather appropriate, the teachers highly value outdoor activities. They encourage kids being KIDS!!! They also set time aside each morning for class through fun and creative lessons. Because Jolly Tots does not deliver a rigid curriculum like the national centers, teachers are able to be flexible and implement new ideas at any time. They differentiate to meet the needs of their students because they can. My daughter, who has always been an eager learner, could read before kindergarten. Our four year old son, who does not share the same interests, prefers to keep "school" at school and we follow his lead. Sure enough out-of-the-blue this past spring he decided to show us he could write his name!!! This is something we never worked on at home with him and he was so proud to show us this achievement. If you want your child to receive age-appropriate academic lessons, develop social skills through play (especially outdoor when possible), and feel as though they are visiting family during their time there, then Jolly Tots is for you. Our children have thrived because of the teachers at Jolly Tots Little School and have made a life-long impact on who they are socially and academically. We feel incredibly fortunate!

I recently pulled my daughter out of this school. She was there for almost four months and it was…read morenot a good fit. If you are looking for something structured that really focuses on education, creativity and personal attention this is not it. The price is extremely low which was nice but the quality of service definitely suffered due to this. I did voice opinion and felt like I was listened to w hen I did so. At this point it was too late for my daughter to continue in the environment but I hope they do change things based on my feedback. My daughter was in the little school. the big school looks much calmer and looks more like a decent place for a child. Most teacher at the little school did not impress me or seem like they enjoyed their job. ( I saw most becuase a few were good with my daughter) But as far as school goes, "just OK or sufficient" is not anywhere good enough

This is also a con because it makes "cliques" more apparent. Pros: Parent-teacher relationships are strong. Attached to the church so there is no walking outside during inclement weather. Nuns still teach and run the school, this is less common in some other Catholic schools. Convenient for local children. Has after school program. CORA is available to tutor children who are having trouble, this happens during school hours. Cons: Costly, there are even charges if your child stays for lunch (which last I remember is held in the classrooms since there is no proper cafeteria.) Lack of after school activities, and those that do exist are expensive. Extracurricular classes are poor, in particular gym, which is held in the chilly basement of the church. Small class sizes mean advanced students are held back. To keep them busy they are asked to help less advanced students. Most of the student body lives in the area and graduates to Archbishop Ryan. Religion is held in high regard, and is very prevalent in the classroom. By attending this school, CCD is not mandatory as you study for and receive the sacraments through their church.
