When we visited Lightbridge this past winter we really loved the environment and the staff, and we…read morewere thrilled that Jaclyn was able to get us spots for our twins for the following year. I was 13 weeks with twins at the time. We were so relieved to have gotten the daycare checked off! Flash forward, my twins are here, in the NICU, and I have to start preparations for them despite the fact that they can't be home yet. I had previously tried emailing Lightbridge to confirm and received no response. I finally had time to call and they let me know that they do not, in fact, have room for our twins. We are starting the daycare search over, which will likely be absolutely impossible at this point, considering there are two of them. We're left without child care, with twins in the NICU, incredibly stressed out. Do yourself a favor and get in writing that they will have a spot for your child so you don't end up like us.

Transitioning from the Whippany, NJ location to the Jenkinstown, PA location was made seamless by the Directions and Owners (even with COVID).

Thanks Lightbridge!!!

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.

Picking childcare was not a task I took lightly. I did a lot of research and toured several…read morecenters. I wanted to find a daycare that would take care of my daughter in a loving environment. Children Of America in New Britain had great reviews and was recommended to me by a few people. It was further from our house, but I figured it was worth the visit. I got to meet the Director Carly and tour the place, and I immediately knew that was the daycare for us. Carly was so sweet to my daughter from day 1. She was knowledgeable, helpful, hands on and patient with my millions of questions. She even helped change my daughter (before we started there) and I could tell that she genuinely loved children. Fast forward to a few months later, and we are still so happy and lucky we found COA. The curriculum is very impressive. It engages the kids but also allows them to have fun. They get well balanced meals (that my daughter LOVES) and always have fun activities planned. I get to be a part of the day as the teachers send photos throughout the week of them eating, learning or playing. My daughter looks forward to daycare every morning and she loves all of her teachers, Ms Dawn, Ms Jill, Ms Ange and Ms Heather. Ms Carly is fantastic to work with, always helpful and very engaged with all of the kiddos. We love this place and highly recommend it!

The teacher of the week would forget to give my daughter the full lunch I packed, or routinely misspelled her name on her worksheets, or forgot to take her to the bathroom while she was potty training. One teacher was arrested, and I saw and reported a teacher being verbally and physically abusive toward the children. The response from the admin was blasé. They insisted they would keep an eye on that class, and then reported that they didn't see any signs of abuse. They also lied to me on the phone while I was watching the events unfold live on camera. When I would bring up an issue with the admin team themselves, they would blame the teachers and then tell the teachers I was mad at them, forcing them to apologize. Absolutely toxic. The playground has one play structure with one slide. During the summer, they took away the gymnasium room from the younger kids, so they were stuck in their classroom all day. Why am I paying over 100$ a day for this?

We take pride in how we care for the children, and the kindness of the families makes our job even more rewarding. Children of America has not only helped me grow professionally, but I'm also excited about my future and career advancement with this company. I look forward to many more years of growth here!

If I could give 0 stars, I would…read more If you asked me about Seven Wonders 8 months ago, I would have recommended this center to anyone. My son seemed happy, he was learning, and things appeared to be going well. Unfortunately, my experience took a very disturbing turn and I feel obligated to share it so other parents can make an informed decision before enrolling their children here. My son's elbow was dislocated while he was in their care. When I asked the owner what happened, the only response I received was "I don't know what happened." I had to take my child to the hospital where doctors had to pop his elbow back into place. When I asked to see the camera footage, I was told there was no camera angle covering that area. When I asked to speak directly with the teacher in the room to understand what happened to my child, I was told I was not allowed to speak with them. Even more concerning, an incident report was never submitted to the state regarding my son's injury, which raised serious questions for me about accountability and transparency. Even after this situation, I continued sending my son there because at the time I believed the center still had positive qualities. Looking back, that was clearly a mistake. The owner and her husband are extremely dismissive and passive aggressive toward parents. The owner, Binal, does not build relationships with families and does not allow teachers to communicate directly with parents at all. Communication is tightly controlled. Another major concern is that parents are not allowed inside the facility by the owners. Pennsylvania childcare regulations allow parents to enter the facility, so preventing parents from doing so is extremely troubling and raises serious concerns about transparency. The owner's oldest daughter, who is under 16 years old, is frequently present around the daycare and involved in the day-to-day environment with the children. There are also concerning rumors among parents regarding how she interacts with children, which only adds to the uneasiness about supervision and professionalism. There are also serious safety concerns on the playground. The swing set is leaning heavily to the right and appears unstable. If that structure were to fall, it could seriously injure or hospitalize a child. It is alarming that equipment like this would remain around small children. The children also rarely go outside, even when the weather clearly permits it and when outdoor playtime should be part of their daily routine. Meal practices were also concerning. Breakfast is listed as being served until 9:30 AM, but if your child arrives after 9:15 AM, they reportedly will not receive breakfast and must wait until lunch. For young children, that policy is unreasonable. The most upsetting situation occurred when I was suddenly accused of making racial comments on ClassDojo, which I have never done. I was shown what was presented as a screenshot for "proof," which I strongly believe was fabricated. Based on that accusation, my child was wrongfully terminated. After terminating my son, I told them I would come in to collect his belongings and pay the two weeks that were still owed, but they told me I could keep the payment. That response only reinforced my belief that they knew the situation had been handled improperly. There were also other ongoing issues. My son once came home with severe blisters on his bottom because he was not changed properly, despite me repeatedly explaining that he has sensitive skin and requires cream at every diaper change. Overall, after reflecting and looking deeper into this center, I am honestly disgusted that I trusted this facility with my child. What initially appeared to be a warm and caring environment turned out to be something very different. This review is not written out of retaliation. It is written to spread awareness so other parents can make informed decisions. Childcare facilities should prioritize safety, transparency, and accountability. Unfortunately, based on my experience, Seven Wonders failed to provide those things.
