PLEASE whatever you do PLEASE don't let your child attend this school. The staff is very unprofessional. My 3 year old child was put into the bathroom ALONE, for over a hour because she was crying for her mom. For 3 days straight they refused to feed her breakfast and lunch because she cried when she w8as dropped off at school. But yet I was receiving daily reports my daughter ate both meals. Several times my child came home with poop in her underwear and also a few times soaked with pee and my daughter is fully potty trained. When I spoke to the owner she stated to me that the daily report is just what they had on the food list for the day, not what the child actually ate. When I requested to see the surveillance tape she REFUSED. When I enrolled my daughter into that school I was assured that if a issue occurred that the parents are welcomed to see the surveillance at anytime. I have reported this school to the BBB, the State Inspector and the Philadelphia School District. PLEASE PLEASE DONT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL. My daughter is traumatized. As a mother my heart hurts that I let my daughter attend a school that basically abused her. The only 5 stars reviews on Google are from the employees at the school.
I love this school my daughter has separation anxiety and problems with being away from me my grbdmorther and her father I tried babysitter she didn't like either and I put her In this school and I don't regret it one bit! I love it!!!!! My little girl is so happy there
