If you are interested in effective charter schools or the need for a different approach to education, I recommend watching the recently released documentary Waiting for Superman. KIPP is one of the schools mentioned in the documentary and is a champion in providing top notch education and child development. You won't find a more dedicated and skilled staff than the faculty of a KIPP school.

We had the pleasure of working with Speech Therapist Anzhela, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Anzhela was always reliable, patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in my son's progress. She built such a wonderful connection with him and helped him make incredible strides in his communication over those years. As a parent, it meant so much to have a therapist who celebrated every milestone with us and always made each session engaging and encouraging. We are incredibly grateful for everything Anzhela did for our family and for the progress my son made because of her dedication. I highly recommend Kutest Kids to any family looking for caring, knowledgeable, and skilled therapists. We had an amazing experience and will always be thankful for our time there -Natalie

Unprofessional would be an understatement to describe this agency. The staff is inadequate,…read moreespecially the director. As you see they have Scott's Lane as their address, although it's not there anymore. That is a slight example to showcase the numerous errors they have made. They continue to reassign workers which can disrupt children with certain needs. Needless to say, I would never recommend this agency. Hopefully they will implement some changes to properly accommodate their clients.

I attended the School District of Philadelphia's open Career Fair on May 20, 2025 through Indeed,…read morebecause Mayor Cherelle Parker spoke of The District's need to hire teachers at my commencement ceremony at Rosemont College last month. I showed up on time and dressed professionally and with my resume. Half of the schools were not present during the start of the event and/or reps showed up late. I walked around to speak to most of the reps that were present. I noticed that more time was spent with Caucasian applicants and I felt that the mostly Black reps/principals were not as interested in speaking with me, despite my having a Master's degree and being a Black woman representative of what the mostly minority student population would benefit from seeing in the classroom. I gave my resume to about three reps but did not hear back from any of them, probably because most were seeking Math/Special Education teachers with certificates and I am not certified and have an English/Reading background, which I was honest about in person. I also wrote this down when I applied on Indeed, and it would have been nice for The School District in its response to my Indeed application and invitation to the event to be transparent about the specific subjects they were hiring for, so that I would not have wasted my time and money traveling from NJ to Philly. When I received an email from Amber Minor-Tisdale, SR. Project Manager for Talent Recruitment & Selection in the Office of Talent, asking for my feedback on the event, I filled out the survey and responded to her email directly about my experience. She responded initially with apologies and asked what other job I applied for (I also applied for the position of Special Projects Assistant I (50026178) directly on The District's website before the event, since I have years of data entry/office experience). I responded to her email about the other position on May 29, 2025 and when I did not hear another response, followed up with a request for an update on June 6, 2025, to which I have not received another response from Ms. Minor-Tisdale nor anyone from The School District of Philadelphia. The least they could do is to follow up with candidates who take the time to show up to their calls for applicants, especially because the need for good teachers is great. The District cannot afford to be indifferent or disrespectful to the very people they depend on to educate our future. I certainly would not advise any candidate to waste his/her time and resources going to any event hosted by The School District of Philadelphia unless he/she personally knows someone within the system and can get through by way of nepotism. -E.J.

The teachers are wonderful and the leaders of the school are also great. I love that they value and teach kindness and inclusion. They have been great about communicating during COVID and I feel comfortable with their protocols. Their curriculum is engaging and I love hearing the songs my daughters have learned each week.

Many of the teachers have been there for decades (a family member went to BCSYC 20 years ago and had three of the same teachers our kids have today).

The Spanish and music lessons have been a big hit, and our older child loved the swimming lessons last summer. It's an excellent program.
