I would like to give them a zero star rating
My son has been attending Cambridge since he was just under a year old and is now 9. He has loved his teachers throughout the years. I also have enjoyed having him there. I have talked to many other parents and have heard what I call horror stories from other near by child care centers. It just makes me feel good having him where his is and never had any of these issues in the past almost 9 years he has attended Cambridge. Most of the staff are friendly and welcoming. The summer camp programs have been a big hit with my son. The activities they have and field trips. I love it here!
I just gave this comments: when I called the direct to cancel my child's registration before the June 2015, and when I required my balanced refund (less the cancellation fee and any other fees), things became terrible. I called and emailed totally over 30 times and only got one email back and said it need 2 or 4 weeks to process it. However up to today (Nov. 12, 2016), I did not get any feedback even I required the director at Macungie school again. I believed a sue is needed to avoid this illegal behaviour. Under this situation, I believed parents will have a decision if it is a good or bad school with this wrong moral behavior.
