“My daughter absolutely adores going to school here. Every single staff member is so friendly and kind. The facility is always so brightly decorated and you can see how active the children are in their learning. Safety is a top priority with Lightbridge and that brings a parent so much ease. We absolutely adore this program and would choose it all over again.”

“JDN is one of the best daycares in Jenkintown!! My son is transitioning to kindergarten this school year and we had a wonderful experience over the last two years with JDN! The director is amazing and always so helpful! My son is well prepared for kindergarten after going through JDN!! Also, I got a chance to build a really great mom network with some amazing moms, and our kids just love each other. Another, things I love about JDN is how diverse the kids and parents are! Don’t sleep on JDN!!”

“My little brother attended this daycare for a while. The place is very clean and safe for children. The staff is very polite and outright awesome and they really care about the kids.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alphabet Alley is the BEST!

My daughters attended Alphabet Alley, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the care they received. My youngest started at 6 weeks old and she was colic and they followed all the doctor’s instructions as far as burping her in a timely manner and keeping her in a sitting position after her bottles. Nothing went undone here. The staff was always kind, professional, and incredibly efficient, ensuring that every child was well cared for in a safe and nurturing environment.

Safety was clearly a top priority, giving me complete peace of mind every day. The facility was always clean and well-organized, and the structured activities helped my children learn, grow, and develop important social skills. They truly thrived during their time there, making wonderful memories and friendships.

If you’re looking for a daycare that provides excellent care, a loving atmosphere, and a strong focus on child development, I highly recommend Alphabet Alley!

The girls (staff) are amazing here!!”

“We recently switched from another daycare facility in the area to COA. We could not be happier with the decision we made and could not be happier with the care, structure, and support our children are receiving. Ms. Megan, Ms. Bethany, Ms. Kristi, and Ms. Val have gone above and beyond to make the transition to COA seamless for our 2 kiddos and it's evident that our kiddos feel safe and are thriving as a result!”

“I just wanted to take the time to say how wonderful and amazing the staff are at the Willow Grove Romp n Roll! My daughter just turned three. She has been going to Romp And Roll for about a year now and it is her absolute favorite place to be! We celebrated her third birthday in April of this year , and the staff that was there that day, who helped out with all the activities in the whole process of the birthday party were absolutely amazing! They took care of ALL the things I normally would have handled at any other facility or my home.The birthday party was a Success and definitely stress-free for my husband and I !We recently just experienced the Mother’s Day tea party for the first time and that experience was just beautiful!!! I have waited a very long time to experience Mother’s Day activities and the tea party and all the beautiful decor and activities were so much fun and very much appreciated. My daughter and I had a blast! When my daughter handed me a flower that the staff had provided to give to all the moms, that just melted my heart! Thank you for such a beautiful experience!Thank YouKristin & Mike Cain (Michaelas parents)”

“Ms. Jess has been absolutely wonderful since day one. She creates such a warm and caring environment, and it truly shows in how comfortable Arjun feels with her. Mornings used to be difficult because he would cry at drop-off, but Ms. Jess always takes the time to gently pick him up and comfort him, which means so much to me as a parent. Her patience, kindness, and genuine care make a huge difference.”

“The Goddard School of Huntingdon Valley has been a true blessing for our family—every staff member, from Colleen and Katie to Ms. Pam and Jasmine, treats our children with genuine love, kindness, and professionalism.We wouldn’t choose any other school even with closer options available.”

“My son has been attending TLE Riverton for one year and my baby girl for 5 months (she is in the baby room) Im thankful for the love and attention they receive here. All teachers are very polite and welcoming. We love Ms. Ashley for toddler 1 room and Ms. Rossy (baby room). Both teachers have shown genuine love and care for my babies. Words can’t describe how grateful I am with them. Dakota and Alyssa are extremely supportive and kind. Thank you for all you do for my babies”

“I absolutely adore this place. The entire staff is phenomenal. They are so thoughtful and caring. I am so grateful for everything they've done and continue to do for my children. 10/10”

“As first-time parents, choosing a daycare felt like one of the biggest decisions we’ve ever made, and enrolling our son at Primrose Center City was the best choice we could have made.

He started in the infants classroom, and from day one the teachers, administrators, and even the owner (who is incredibly hands-on, present almost every day, and somehow knows every child and parent by name!) made the transition completely seamless. As new parents, that level of care and attention meant everything to us. We truly never worry during the day because we know he is safe, supported, and so loved.

As a dual-career household, having that trust also gives us the mental space to stay focused at work during the day, which is invaluable. The school’s hours are incredibly helpful for working parents, and the fact that they provide meals and snacks removes so much of the daily mental and physical load of planning and prepping food. They even offer quarterly Parents’ Night Out events, which gives my husband and me a built-in date night (even if that sometimes just means takeout and catching up on chores at home!).

Now that he’s moved into the young toddler classroom, we’ve been just as impressed. The transition was thoughtfully handled over time. They gradually introduced him to his new teachers, classroom, and schedule, which made the change feel easy and natural for him (and for us!). It’s been amazing to see how much he’s grown there already. His independence has blossomed, and his communication skills (especially using sign language) have developed so much thanks to the intentional support from his teachers.

We recommend Primrose wholeheartedly to any parent looking for a nurturing, structured, and loving environment for their child. Honestly, even if we move to the suburbs someday, we would absolutely drive in just to keep him here. And if we have another child, there’s no question that they’ll be enrolled at Primrose too.”

“Amazing center my daughter has been going to this center since September 2025 and she was 11 months when she started she has grown tremendously im just sitting back thinking about her growth and being a teacher myself I am very pleased at the job her teachers are doing they are educating her very well and I feel that she is safe and love by staff and the director. Ms. Lisa Ms. Kate are amazing lead teachers and do there jobs very well and communicate very well and Davion is actually one of the best directors I’ve ever seen especially coming from the education field that speaks volumes and Ms. Jessica is the backbone she will always get back to you if you have any questions or concerns shout out to the whole team”

“Always a great time! Volunteers and Priest very welcoming, pleasant and friendly. Bestie and I get to feel like kids again! Parking a bit tough however look forward each year. The Mega 50-50 is a WOW factor! Enjoy and be safe, Everyone.”

“The Giving Tree has been a fantastic daycare for our son, from infancy to the older toddler class. The teachers are caring and attentive, and he’s always excited to go. He’s made great friends, enjoys activities like music, gymnastics, and soccer, and has learned so many life skills. We highly recommend it!”

“A Truly Exceptional Childcare Experience at Celebree

My husband and I can’t say enough wonderful things about Celebree Childcare and the incredible experience our family has had here. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were welcomed with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. The staff are not only well-trained and attentive, but truly love and nurture every child as if they were their own.

What makes Celebree truly stand out is the leadership of the owner, Nita. It’s clear how deeply she cares about her center and the children and families who are part of it. She is incredibly invested in the daily life and success of the center—constantly ensuring there are thoughtful enrichment activities, a stimulating environment, and a focus on both social and academic growth.

Our daughter absolutely loved her teacher, and we’ve seen tremendous growth in her learning and confidence. Every morning, she would wake up excited, asking to see Ms. Kate, Ms. Jess, Ms. Autumn, and all of her classmates. That joy and eagerness to go to school said everything. She came home each day glowing with excitement, ready to share what she had learned and the fun she had during our dinner talks.

We’ve had experience with other childcare centers in the Bucks County area, and without question, nothing has come close to the level of care, enrichment, and genuine love we experienced at Celebree. This center has exceeded every expectation and has become a second home for our daughter.

While we are sad to be leaving, we feel incredibly lucky to have been part of such a loving and enriching community. We highly recommend Celebree to any family looking for a place where children are genuinely cared for, thoughtfully educated, and surrounded by a passionate, dedicated staff who love what they do. This center is truly a gem.”

“After a frustrating experience with a previous daycare in the area, we were desperate to find a place that truly prioritized our child’s well-being and development. Enter The Goddard School in Horsham—a complete game-changer. From our very first visit, it was clear that this school operates on an entirely different level.
The transformation in our child has been incredible. Where the previous daycare lacked structure, communication, and genuine care, Goddard shines with professionalism, warmth, and a deep commitment to early education. The teachers are not only highly qualified but also incredibly nurturing, creating an environment where children feel safe, engaged, and excited to learn.
The curriculum is rich and thoughtfully designed, blending play with purposeful learning. We receive daily updates, photos, and insights into our child’s progress, which gives us peace of mind and keeps us connected.
We couldn’t be more grateful to Kristen and the team at Goddard Horsham. If you're looking for a daycare that truly goes above and beyond, this is the place.”

“For six years our children have attended Jolly Tots Little School. When seeking a childcare facility we had a strong desire to find a place that focused on the development of social skills such as kindness, sharing, and personal boundaries. We desired outdoor play and the core values that shape a child’s personality as the root of a school’s structure. We knew that national facilities have high employment and enrollment turnover as well as canned academic curriculums that force certain skills before children are ready. Many of us who enroll our children at Jolly Tots are educators, and we see the importance of a balanced approach of social and academic development and the need for these to be age appropriate. Jolly Tots is just that!! Our children view Jolly Tots’ teachers and schoolmates as family. When it’s weather appropriate, the teachers highly value outdoor activities. They encourage kids being KIDS!!! They also set time aside each morning for class through fun and creative lessons. Because Jolly Tots does not deliver a rigid curriculum like the national centers, teachers are able to be flexible and implement new ideas at any time. They differentiate to meet the needs of their students because they can. My daughter, who has always been an eager learner, could read before kindergarten. Our four year old son, who does not share the same interests, prefers to keep “school” at school and we follow his lead. Sure enough out-of-the-blue this past spring he decided to show us he could write his name!!! This is something we never worked on at home with him and he was so proud to show us this achievement. If you want your child to receive age-appropriate academic lessons, develop social skills through play (especially outdoor when possible), and feel as though they are visiting family during their time there, then Jolly Tots is for you. Our children have thrived because of the teachers at Jolly Tots Little School and have made a life-long impact on who they are socially and academically. We feel incredibly fortunate!”

“The Early Leaning Center at Kaiserman JCC is hands down a wonderful place for preK. Our 3 year old daughter gets lots of love here from the very attentive staff. The facility has both indoor and outdoor activities. Not to mention the outdoor swimming pool and 4 playgrounds. The classrooms are spaces and well stocked with learning opportunities. The director Amy and assistant director Natalie are super supportive. Our third grader spent 2 plus years prior too.”

“I have nothing but words of gratitude for the staff/teachers and leadership at this location. This is my sons second year attending their pre-k program he started at 3.5 years old and is turning 5 in 2025. His first year here his teachers were Ms.Shamia and Ms.Trinity. Now my son had been with me since birth before enrollment. They were patient with him(and he wasn't fully potted trained?) BUT they worked with me on keeping him on a schedule during the day and getting him fully trained within the first 3 months of enrollment i believe. Presently he is back in Ms.Shamia class with a new assistant teacher Ms.Aniyah? who is like the big sister my son never knew he needed? Ms. Trinity has her own class now?. All the parents care, all the kids genuinely are good kids. The staff down to the cook Ms.Hend( my son calls her Ms.Hammond) will love on your child providing a safe place. Which is rare now. But at the same time they are actually educating and teaching positive social skills to our babies. If you are looking for child care. Start here.”

“My child's 2nd year in this preschool and it has been great, good communication, great teaching. My child loves Ms Channa & Ms Shantell, they are all very nurturing! Thanks for keeping my baby safe.”

“My husband and I absolutely love Play and learn Hatboro. The girls take such care of the children at school. My daughter literally talks about her teachers to us at dinner time. She tells us about her day. She has come a long way with her speech and learning progress while being in their care. Definitely recommend play and learn to anybody.”

“Right steps has been a perfect fit for my family for past 2 years. I could not ask for a better environment for my kids to learn and grow. Director is incredibly attentive and caring, and we have had a phenomenal experience with teachers across every classroom. Without a doubt, my children are well cared for, challenged, and nurtured in this environment. I'm so glad I chose Right Steps for my childcare/pre-school for my kiddos!!!”

“My son has been coming to this center since he was 1 and a half years old until he started kindergarten. He came back for summer camp (and will be back next summer!) We love the staff and the center! Miss Elena, Miss Michelle and Miss Kailer in the office are all so helpful and super friendly! Miss Elizabeth, Miss Lilit, Miss Amanda, Miss Shelley, Miss Alexis, Miss Christina and Miss Libby have been amazing and so sweet. My son loves and adores all the staff. I appreciate them all for helping my son grow and taking such amazing care of him throughout the years. They have a very clean center and of lots of fun activities for your children to enjoy. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for childcare, school or summer camp! Thank you CBCA for everything! We will miss you during the school year! :)”

“We’ve had such a positive experience with Children of America over the years. My daughter attended from a very young age through preschool, and when she entered kindergarten, I truly felt she was fully prepared—both academically and socially. The foundation she received there made a noticeable difference in her confidence and readiness.

My son is currently enrolled at four years old, and he absolutely loves going every day. He often asks for his teacher by name and is genuinely excited to be there, which says a lot about the environment and care provided. It’s clear the staff builds strong, meaningful connections with the children.

Overall, we’ve been very happy with the level of care, communication, and education. It’s reassuring to know our kids are in a place where they feel safe, supported, and eager to learn.”

“Honeyland truly is a hidden gem. We came across the school from a local group on FB and we’re so happy we decided to enroll our child here. They’ve been nothing but loving and caring. Their child centric structure has been so good for our child’s development. From the moment you walk in the door you’re met with love. They are extremely communicative and supportive which was especially helpful during difficult toddler transitions. At Honeyland it’s very much a partnership with the child’s growth and wellbeing as the goal. So thankful to have found this place!”

“As a staff member I love Rainbow! The environment is amazing — the kids love the outdoor spaces and especially the farm animals, which make this place truly unique.
It's such a wonderful opportunity for little ones to learn and explore in a fun, hands-on way. The school itself is clean, safe, and well organized. Rainbow provides quality care and an enriching environment for toddlers to kindergartners. Definitely a great choice if you're looking for a place where your child can thrive and be around nature every day!”

“Since day 1, the Goddard Family has been so welcoming. Every teacher has helped my Daughter in their own special way. Having a speech impediment and being a Covid baby, she was a little behind. In no time, she was catching up to her classmates and has opened up to be a shining star. I wouldn’t call Goddard a “Day Care” as these kids are truly learning and being prepared for their own districts school. Goddard of Montgomeryville is an amazing SCHOOL where you will be treated like Family! Highly Recommend!!”

“My daughter and I are grateful for this daycare. Especially Anderia, Tyesha, and Breonna are great teachers. My daughter is happy to see them. She runs to these ladies everyday to give them hugs. They always make me feel comfortable being at work away from my daughter as they communicate with me through out the day. Someone referred here to me from their grandchild coming here and I boast about this place all the time. Thanks guys!”

“I miss going here. This place was my childhood, going there back when the old location was still opened. The atmosphere is always great for kids, especially during the summer. Unfortunately, as the years went on, it became a lot more adults, no longer being just for the kids. It went from a small and colorful establishment with a huge love of Puertorriqueno feels to a bland building that became more restrictive. From happy employees thinking of the kids first to employees just there to get small cash in their pockets. I still love this place, but I miss how it used to feel, especially now that I'm no longer a part of it. I don't get to see the old locations where I used to learn. Never lose your Puertorican joy

Kind regards, an old friend to lost memories
Thank you for teaching me to be proud of my culture ??”

“My daughter started a few weeks ago and she loves it!! Her teachers are ms Stephanie and Kiara and they are the best!! The director is amazing I love the way she gives the kids hugs and high fives in the morning”
