I have two children who have entered and worked there way through Moravian Academy -- both from…read morekindergarten with the Spanish immersion program. My first daughter had a relatively positive experience when she was in elementary school and is doing well in the high school currently. However, my youngest has had a very negative experience with one teacher in particular: Mr. Yerrington. She had him last year and he was horribly abrasive, rude, and discouraging toward her exploration of her education. She has struggled with self esteem issues with both her ability to speak spanish and engagement in the classroom since. We tried to talk to Moravian about it, but they brushed it off, as they do most things. Be aware of this when selecting MA as your childs future school.

From a parent of a student who attends MA: MA provides a first-rate education. The strength of this…read moreschool is the teachers and three strong administrators, the backbone of MA: the head of the Lower School[preK-5], head of Middle School[ grades 6-8] and The head of the Upper School [grades 9-12]. This school sets a foundation that allows its students to transition easily into highly selective colleges and universities. A higher percentage of students get accepted into highly selective schools versus any counterpart high school in the area. This is also due to MA's college counselor who does a tremendous job matching a student's profile with the right college. Study habits are honed in MA's middle schoool and further tuned in Upper School. MA has very strong math and science teachers. Language and other non-math/science instructors were also very good. I do not recall any unflattering comments about any educator in the school regarding subject matter. All kids complain about something, but never got any negative feedback on educator competence. Also, theatre and performing arts are featured with showcase events that reveal talents of students, a tribute to MA staff, students, and those who organize these events. Other aspects: -Some MA parents can get a bit tiresome. Imagine the NY Times Weekend Style section, or the social pages showing adults mugging for photos at some self-serving fundraiser. Now conjur up in your mind a very low-end junior varsity version of that--think of a Saturday Night Live skit. -MA has turned out its share of athletes that go on to play in D1 programs in college, mostly field hockey players over the past 10 years. However, MA sports could be supported a little better financially, and with encouraged attendance. MA's athletic director--who did a great job--retired. Hopefully the new AD will get more support from the school and sports won't be de-emphasized. All in all, I could not have asked for a better educational outcome for my daughter.

Fast forward a year and he is confident, looks forward to his weekly lesson, swims solo and literally won't get out of the pool (Mr Josh has to carry him out!). We take private lessons with Josh Ferraro. As a team, we create goals for our son and really focus on making it fun. Josh is so engaging and it is clear he loves what he does, even when he is working with a more challenging child. The peace of mind I have now with my son being safe in the water is freeing. Highly recommend!!!

We have had our child in before and after school care at ALC- Fogelsville for kindergarten through…read more1st grade, and we are satisfied that the staff care about the kids and keep them safe and keep the place clean and communicate immediately when there is a health concern (such as all childcare centers have to deal with, such as a virus going around, etc). Our child is comfortable being left there and sometimes tells us that we picked him up too early and that we need to come back later, which means that he's happy there. I have used 2 daycares, both thoroughly researched alongside all the other local options, including checking violations on the state website. I have never seen a single daycare without multiple violations, but I check that they are being responsible about them and that none of them are a deal breaker. I highly recommend ALC-Fogelsville. The one thing that I would advise is if you need to communicate about an individual question, you may need to ask in person and then keep track of it yourself in order to get it handled. Please also keep aware that what you communicate to teaching staff may not get to office staff and vice versa, which is a very normal things that come up at child care centers.

If you are reading this, you are most likely searching for childcare. My wife and I did the same…read morething. So how do you determine who to trust? You need to go with your gut, and must visit the facilities and speak with those in charge. But here is my bottom line. Once you walk out of the building, those people are now in charge of your child's life. Period. Perfection is impossible. But in my eyes, my experience, and my 20 month old sons reaction every day we pick him up, Active Learning Centers is as close as one can get. They are like family. They always have time to speak with me or my wife. Funny thing is, I think our son eats better for them than us! I would often say, he ate what snack??? We can never get him to eat. He is so fussy! Infants and toddlers cannot be forced to eat or drink. Hey I'm an old man and you still can't get me to eat tomatoes! The things our son is learning is amazing. He loves to give everyone there a hug and I have never, felt more secure leaving my son with others. FYI- I am not new to this. I have three children in their 20's. I would do anything to protect this new little man. From the infant room to now being in toddler 1, my wife and I are thrilled that our son feels at home at Active Learning Center.

PLEASE READ: I…read morethink we can all agree: trusting someone with your kid(s) is a big deal. My wife and I, in particular, dislike the notion of being away from our child; however, if you have an occupation and can't afford for one parent to stay home, or stagger your schedule even, this is a necessary evil. Here's the good news! If you enroll your child at Lightbridge Academy, the word EVIL will never come to mind! Each worker at the Bethlehem Lightbridge Academy, comes to work every day and treats the kids as if the kids were their own. The energy and the positive vibes walking in that place is unparallel. As a parent, I know every precaution is taken and a village of loving adults will be watching over my little girl. I cherish the good people on this Earth, and Lightbridge has managed to only employee these particular people. Everyone there has an amazing love for children and can back up their love with the experience. I am the biggest fan of these godsent workers and wouldn't dare take time out of my busy schedule to tell a lie. I wouldn't feel right if I didn't recognize this wonderful group of caretakers. I am insanely appreciative of them and owe them something special; after all, they take care of my most prized possession. A special shout out to Aliscia, Pat, Heidi, Jessie, Meghan & Tricia. I am blanking on the names of so many people, so please forgive me. Thank you all & 1,000 Blessings! Cordially, Corey, Darice & Demi!
