**Beware of Changing Lanes Daycare!! **…read more My experience with this daycare was beyond terrible!!! Especially when it came to how they treated my daughter, who has special needs. From day one, Chantell, the manager, assured me that they would work with my child through her behavioral challenges and support her as we were getting her into early intervention. However, their actions showed the complete opposite. One of the most shocking incidents was when staff threw clothes in my daughter's face and demanded that she dress herself when she was on the potty. They also snatched the tablet out of her hands multiple times when she was using it, treating her harshly instead of offering the support she needed. Two employees even called me to confirm my worst fears... That my daughter was not being treated fairly by the staff. (This was all confirmed through a phone call from previous employees who quit two days before because of how they treated children badly and they were not being treated fairly... They also told me that they were waiting for a reason to kick my daughter out..) When it came to money, they were extremely shady. One morning, they told me my daughter couldn't attend at 7:30am unless I paid the tuition that was due that day. They also claimed I owed extra money from that previous week (which we did not) Also I did not have receipts (Which is my fault) since I mostly paid in cash or Cash App, I should have known from there it was shady and everytime I asked for a receipt they would almost everytime make a excuse that some was not there or able to write me one or they would put it in my daughters bag). After giving them all my money, they miraculously "found" a letter underneath there keyboard with the portion from my daughter's father's tuition and went back through their logs to say I owed even more! After all this chaos, when I met with the director walking out after handing them all my money, she forcefully squeezed my hand during a handshake in a very unprofessional manner. It's clear to me that this daycare does not like working with children who have special needs. They kicked my daughter out as soon as the early intervention specialists started coming in. I've since heard horror stories from other parents about how they treat kids with similar challenges. They don't work with parents as a team to help the children; they just want to get rid of them. They didn't even provide basic care for my daughter. She came home every day in someone else's clothes, even though she rarely has accidents at home. She always had a bookbag full of pee clothes... The final straw was the day they kicked her out. My daughter scratched another child (which we deeply regret), but instead of handling it professionally, they packed up all her things and had them waiting outside. Chantell didn't even have the decency to call or email me. She simply met me at the door at 4:30pm saying, "Oh, by the way, this is you're daughter's last day of school," If you're considering Changing Lanes Daycare, think twice. They will promise you support, but when it comes to following through, they will fail your child in every possible way. They don't care about children with special needs and will go to great lengths to avoid providing the care and compassion they claim to offer.

As a parent and educator, I am beyond pleased and ecstatic to share with everyone my experiences…read moreover the last 8 years with Changing Lanes Learning Center in Norwood and Aldan, Pa. The owner, director and teacher, Dr. Naomi Pereira-Lane has been there every step of the way. Not only is she an advocate for her students and families, but her staff. Her staff are supported by her and follow through with the mission of the school. She supports families with resources, tips to help struggling parents, self-care for the families and staff so we are all successful within our educational and personal goals. Changing Lanes Learning Center provided an enriched learning environment for my three girls (12, 6 and 4 years of age). To know what a quality education setting is and having one available to foster my children growth and educational development has been a blessing. I have recommended this school to many people personally and professionally. I have referred students and families I have serviced in the regular and early intervention circuit. If you need a quality educational school for your child(ren) it is not a struggle anymore to know this hidden gem can be found in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

If you have a hyper child who has outbursts of emotions and tests boundaries-- the director of this location will do whatever she can to label your child and call you after any incident to have child picked up for early dismissal. As parents we started believing that our child might have emotional delay and started getting help from the school district to early intervene. If you ask about their methods of dealing with unwanted behavior, you won't be able to talk to the teacher-- because only director can communicate with parents about any classroom issues. There is no consistency or any age appropriate methods to help guide your child. It's really scary that this place has such a "good reputation". Since we enrolled my daughter at another facility-- literally zero behavioral issues or complaints by the teachers or the daycare director, she's learning about her emotions, she's being guided instead of being labeled. She doesn't require additional learning support because her teacher is an educator who teaches her to manage her behavior and emotions. I know this place was not a right fit for my family-- and that's ok. However, a childcare facility SHOULDN'T ever be allowed to operate this way. As a parent, I have major trust issues after my experience with Hockessin KinderCare because I really hoped they had my child's best interest in mind. Instead, they are operating as a business and not an educational institution.

I was very trepidatious about sending him to school out of our home, and am very new to the area, so finding the right place for him was a nerve-wracking process. The Goddard staff are patient, kind, and seem to genuinely care about him and his well being. His classmates are precocious, thoughtful, kind little people and Goddard is helping them thrive. Really terrific school with wonderful administrators (Lisa, Essence, and Payal, the owner) who are extremely hands on and involved with all aspects of the running of the school, and it shows.

It also always is amazing to us that they know and greet not only the kids, but each parent by name when you come for drop off or pick up. Leaving your kids to go to work each day can be hard, but attending this school made it so much easier and we never have to worry about their safety or well-being while they are here. Cannot say enough good things about this school.

My family attended this Bright Horizons for about a year, and we were extremely satisfied with the…read morelevel of care and attention our kids received. The staff, teachers, and fellow parents were all lovely and created a warm, nurturing environment. We had been disappointed by our experience at another Bright Horizons in the DC area. That location had an excessive churn of staff, shady characters sometimes hanging out outside, and lax reporting of incidents like minor injuries. But I didn't realize how bad it was until we came here. This Concord Plaza facility feels secure--it's tucked away in a quiet part of an office park, and adults must put a code in to enter the building. The teachers are a mix of seasoned pros and newer ones, making it feel like there is a solid pipeline to train and retain talent. There is a big green space at the front where parents and kids often hang out to play and socialize after school, giving it a community vibe. Some logistics: if you're interested in taking a tour or getting on the wait list (a few months, was not unreasonable), contact the main number for the regional office. You may also be able to get info about the Bright Horizons at Nemours (I think longer wait list if you're not staff). This location serves snacks and milk but requires you to pack lunch; honestly for the cost saving, I didn't mind packing lunch. My kids were very prepared for the next steps of their learning journeys after attending this Bright Horizons. I'm especially grateful for the care and communication from the teachers here.

However, our child was unhappy at this location almost instantly. We noticed a complete change in her eating, sleeping, demeanor and overall attitude from the get go. At this time, my wife and I decided to give a closer look to what was happening. Our kid was dropped off in a room with a hodge podge of kids of other ages which seemed to be unnecessary and increased our child's overall anxiety to start the day. From there we observed on several occasions just an overall lack of care from the staff. One instance in particular, we observed a care giver chatting with other employees while our child sat on her lap crying without any soothing from her at all. This was very unsettling to say the least. I think this is a very popular daycare but from our 1 month experience I can't for the life of me understand why. 2 stars. There's better places out there in my opinion.
