I am mother of two children in this this school and I can not say anything but great things about them. The moment my children walked in, they have truly been so nice including the teachers and owner. My children have learned so much more than they learned in another who in such a short period of time. I pulled my children out of another school because of the directors behavior and when I tried to call their main # they would not even get back to me. I knew immediately that school was not for me and certainly not right for my children. There were two major things that were happening and the school failed to my standard, plus they would not acknowledge my children because they thought my children did not belong in their school but Celebree accepted my children with open arms. I know you might be fustrated and maybe something happend for you feel this way, but you should not call out making accusation of a school because you feel something did not go the way you wanted it. I know your child and and with my own eyes have seen your child misbehave so many times and, hitting children. Not only with the teachers but with the owner too even though she would sit their and talk the child calmly. This school allowed you to come back to give support to your child. I have witnessed with my own eyes that the very own outside support team that was there for your child was often found to be on their cell phone or sit away from your child in a corner. I did not see any engagement with them in the short period of times I would be their during drop off. This was witness most the time I was there.

When we first moved to Philadelphia, our daughter was five months old and had never been cared for…read moreby anyone but my wife and I and our extended family. I was very apprehensive about putting her in daycare and I knew nothing about what to even look for in a daycare. At Growing Tree, I felt at ease right from when I walked through the door for that first visit to check the place out. The staff is incredibly friendly and each and every one of them cares a great deal about their work and approaches every day that way. My daughter grew to love it very quickly while the staff was very accommodating of my overly concerned checking in on her during the first couple of weeks. The facility is spacious and has lots of natural light, great toys, and a large outdoor space (which also has lots of nice equipment). They are also fully supportive of cloth diapering, which was great for us. The staff was very responsive any time we raised any concerns (which was very rarely) and always wanted to work with us to make things better. The prices are also incredibly reasonable considering the quality of the services provided. Finally, the daycare also puts on lots of great events and excellent programming for the children of all age groups without any added cost. My daughter is now 2 years and 4 months old and I'm devastated that we have to leave Growing Tree because we are moving to Chicago for my job. Growing Tree was one of, if not the best thing for our family about living in Philadelphia and I have no doubt that had we stayed here she would have continued there right through their pre-K program. In the time we were at Growing Tree, my daughter went from being a baby who could barely roll over to a toddler who plays in the sand and talks about everything from kitties to stoplights and the teachers and staff at Growing Tree were there for every step of the journey nurturing her development and helping us so much along the way. It's difficult to put into words how much this means to me, but it's something I will never forget. When my daughter talks about the teachers and staff at daycare there is so much love that is evident in her voice and my heart breaks that she has to say goodbye. But, I take some solace in knowing that her time here has built a foundation for the rest of her life--not just because she learned how to drink out of a cup or sit in a circle, but because she also learned how to have a friend, how to treat people with respect and kindness, and what it means to be a part of a community. Especially now, the world can be a really horrifying place but every now and then you come across people who make you feel good about humanity and I felt that way every time I dropped my child off or picked her up at Growing Tree. The people there have changed my daughter's and our lives for the better and she is just one of hundreds of children who will get to benefit from being in such a nurturing environment thanks to their selfless efforts.

The fact…read morethat it isn't is why we all should stop reading yelp reviews and hug our oldest living relatives immediately. PARENTS BEWARE: Don't send your child to Miss Joan's Little School. Your child may be viciously bitten in the arm by a small boy with an eye patch and buck teeth. My son will be traumatized for LIFE due to this terrible act of violence, and the institution did nothing other than suspend the culprit for three days. NOT ENOUGH. This environment of propagated violence is completely clear from the moment you drop your son or daughter to this creative "learning" center. Children begin their day by singing ridiculous songs about sharing and mutual respect, and are fed terrible snacks conjured up from some liberal health nut's cookbook: something like California Raisins and saltines. My kid may have scurvy for all I know. No gluten or nuts are provided due to other student's allergies. IT IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. From there, it only gets worse. instead of learning useful skills like mathematics and balancing a personal checkbook, the kids play silly and aggressive games like duck duck goose and "Baby in the Air" whatever the hell that is. It sounds like abortion to me. The instructors, and I use that term loosely, spend at least a half an hour reading to the children instead of trusting in their own abilities to make out the meanings of books by helpful pictorial guides. Then, after lulling the kids into a state of hypnosis with soporific stories and undernourishment, the teachers tell the kids they can just pull out a sleeping bag and take a nap. These are kids, aren't they? They have LOADS of energy and don't need to be treated like hungover teenagers. Besides, I don't want my young boy coming home energized by preschool after I just spent a 9 hour day at work. I want him to feel like he learned something, exhausted by the new and fascinating world set before him, not amped up on games, puzzles, building blocks, and world literature. After my son's dental shanking, ER visit, and five stitches, the school had the NERVE to settle this between us and the little bastard's parents. and when pressed by his "attorney" father and "interior designer" mother, do you know what that wretched boy claimed? He claimed he bit my son after my boy kissed his girlfriend and pushed him off a swing. EWW. The fact that a four year old would even imagine having a girlfriend offends me. The school must be promoting sex or showing one of those subversive Disney movies like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid: both trashy films about interracial dating and bestiality. So you heard it here first. Ignore the overall five star rankings on Yelp and take it from me. Miss Joan's Little School is garbage and creative learning breeds violence and promiscuity. I'm sure the nearly 40 years of "preschool excellence" are about to run up, and I'll be the first to have seen it coming.

Our family has been very cautious with the ongoing pandemic due to health issues. We have followed…read morethe recommendations of the CDC and mandates set forth by the governor and his office because we are not medical professionals. When I spoke with the owner, Jodi, of the school, after the mask mandate was declared by the governor, I wanted to confirm that they would be in compliance with this order so that I could feel safe knowing that some medical precautions were being taken to keep my child (and our family) from contracting COVID. Jodi explicitly stated that some of the two year olds "are disgusted by" wearing masks and that wearing masks "upsets them" so the staff would "not force them to wear" masks. This was obviously concerning, especially since earlier in the summer, Jodi had told my wife that the school would not be enforcing mask wearing unless the governor mandated it, and now that it was mandated, Jodi would be going against the medical advice of those advising the governor and made it clear that even though the governor's mandate was now in place, the school would still not enforce it. I called and spoke with Jodi to request a refund of our deposit, due to the continuing concerns that we had, after Jodi made it clear that mask wearing would, in essence, be optional for those in the two year old room, despite the mandate. Jodi claimed that I was "twisting [her] words," that "the governor is crazy" if he thinks two year olds will keep masks on all day and repeatedly said that she knows from her personal experiences while raising three kids that two year olds will not keep masks on. As a father of toddlers who have navigated this pandemic with masks on, I feel very at odds with Jodi's assessment of children's capability to follow directions from adults and wear a mask. In the end, Jodi refused to return our deposit and explained that it would remain on file for six months in the event that we decided to send our child there in the future. Truthfully, after our experience with Jodi, we have very little interest in sending our children there, pandemic or not. Had we been given assurances and felt the least bit comfortable with Jodi's handling of this matter or her willingness to comply with state mandates, then we would certainly be interested in enrolling our children in the future. Under normal circumstances, I understand why the deposit would be non refundable within the 30 days notice; after Jodi made it clear that the school would not mandate masks unless the governor ordered it, we were resigned to the fact that we would likely forfeit our deposit and not send our child if it was not mandated. We were relieved when it was ordered but a bit distraught when Jodi expressed an unwillingness to comply with or encourage mask wearing in the two year old room. If Jodi had assured us that the school would be complying with the mask mandate and helping children to adjust to mask wearing instead of letting them go unmasked, then our child would be in the school at this very moment. Instead, we've found a better program that is serious about protecting the health of children.

This brand new (as of May 2019) Goddard is definitely somewhere worth sending your children to,…read moreespecially compared to others in the area. My son transferred to Goddard from Kindercare, where he was learning virtually nothing (the 4-5yo teacher there didn't even read books daily), and he loved the new environment at Goddard and got a much better education. He had a marked change in attitude and happiness as well and started to bring home art projects regularly. Pros: * Classrooms are HUGE and clean, as everything is new * Owners are willing to invest in resources and toys in the classroom * The playground is large and sparkling clean. There's also an indoor gym for inclement weather. They exercise 2x a day which is good. * They use Tadpoles, so you get notes on the day and a photo each day. * Over the summer, there are water play days. * Strong focus on academics as well as art, with daily projects to bring home * They're open most days and take very few days off. * Teachers have strong discipline. * Snacks are provided in the afternoon. * There is open and honest communication. Whenever a bump or bruise occurs, they tell us about it, unlike at Kindercare where sometimes we got the we don't know what happened excuse * Kids don't want to go home at night, which is the best indicator they're doing a great job. Neutral Notes * They do enforce logistical rules at this daycare (aka. labeling everything, taking water bottles home nightly to wash), which some fellow parents have felt are burdensome, but we like it because it prevents spread of disease which happened a lot at our old Kindercare. * They offer pizza catered in for lunch once a week at $4, and since a lot of kids elect in, we do it too for ours, but some parents might not like that societal pressure component. Areas for Improvement (they're still a 5* school, but no one is perfect): * One teacher we had was resistant to filling out info in Tadpoles and need to be complained to in order to give any info. * Teacher turnover is moderate, which is to be expected at childcare centers, but hopefully will stabilize over time. * They gave us the impression milk would be offered to students daily, but it turns out to be sporadic from what our son has told us.

The infant room program is excellent; the teachers are attentive and caring. Recently I received a call from Miss Megan (one of the owners) after I had picked up my daughter for the day. Megan called to let me know that the classroom teacher realized they had forgotten to send home two unused bottles of breastmilk. Normally, they would keep them for use the following day- but it happened to be a Friday. Immediately my heart sank, because Goddard observes strict time limits on storage of breastmilk/formula, and I knew that the bottles of liquid gold would not be able to be saved for Monday. I could have driven back to the school to pick them up, but instead Megan offered to drop them off to my house on her way home that night. Talk about service! The teacher didn't have to alert someone to the oversight. Megan didn't have to go out of her way on a Friday night to drop off my baby's bottles. But they did it anyway!

I literally called them myself every few months on several occasions only to be told that we were "several down" on the waiting list each time. We paid the waitlist fee in August of 2021, and in late 2022, I got an email notification (out of nowhere) that we had been removed from the waitlist. By that time, luckily, we had already enrolled at The Goddard School, but thank God we weren't depending on the Malvern school, and thank God we had somewhere else to put our daughter. I had such a bad experience with them during the initial waitlist process that I'm sure we're better off not enrolling my daughter there anyway, since communication obviously isn't a priority for them. They currently have a sign up that says "Enroll now for Fall", which is laughable. More like "Enroll now and you might hear from us in 2 years, or maybe not at all, but we'll gladly take your money anyway." Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. The Malvern School location in Malvern had a child abuse lawsuit filed against them, so I don't trust the entire Malvern franchise or any of their locations now, period.
