My son has attended this location since he was five months old and is currently two. The Director and Teachers are fantastic and do a phenomenal job loving and teaching him. At the tender age of two, my son speaks on the level of an almost three-year-old. If you want to feel comfortable that your child is loved and educated, send them to this Brightside location. They won't disappoint you!
Worse Daycare ever in West Philadelphia. My son and daughter use to go there from February to June... My daughter got sick every other week. The teacher's would give her another child bottle, pacifier, and clothes!!! The teacher's and the administrator Had bad attitudes! They were disrespectful and don't Respect the children privacy. My son is Autistic and they would tell other parents about him saying he's bad, the teacher didn't want him in her class so sometimes he had to go somewhere else Everyone who works there have no patience Please don't put your child_ children in that place
My son attends this school and he absolutely loves it! And I know my stubborn son. Plus the staff from front to back are just wonderful
Great daycare.
Friendly staff, very friendly environment
