Schools in Philadelphia, PA

“Our child is 4 years old, and we’ve been with Alphabet Alley Child Care Center for about two years, and it’s been a very positive experience for our family.

What we value most is the consistent routine and caring staff. The structure has really helped our child grow in confidence, communication, and social skills. We’ve seen steady progress over time, and our child genuinely enjoys being there, which gives us peace of mind.

The teachers are kind, patient, and attentive, and it’s clear they care about the children as individuals. Drop-offs are smooth, and our child often comes home excited to talk about the day, the activities, and their friends.

Communication with the staff has been clear and professional, and the center feels safe, organized, and well run. As working parents, having a dependable and consistent place like this has been incredibly important.

After two years, we feel confident that Alphabet Alley has provided a supportive and nurturing environment during an important stage of our child’s development, and we’re happy with the care our child receives.”

“My son spent a year at Goddard and it was a fantastic experience! The facility is clean, light, and well maintained. The kids also spend a lot of time outside, which we loved. The staff are caring, communicative, and really sweet with the kids. Any time we were leaving, multiple teachers (even those we were not in class with) would say goodbye to my child by name. And all the teachers he had really seemed to care about him. They have themed days and parents night out and parent activities as well. It was a wonderful community and we were very sad to leave (job relocation). Would highly recommend!”

“I absolutely love Kids Daycare Paradise! This is such a lovely place for kids. The teachers are incredibly polite, caring, and attentive, not only to the children but also to the parents. Highly recommend!”

“Our son has been at TGT since he was 5 months old. The teachers in the infant room were caring and attentive since day one. We love the smaller, personalized feel of TGT and love having our son there! Thank you to the teachers and staff tor all that you do everyday to keep our little ones safe, loved and cared for”

“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.”

“I worked with Andy Snover, he helped me increase my testing score dramatically and was very helpful in the whole process. I have and will continue to recommend Andy to friends who are interested in Test Prep.”

“Best preschool in the area! Have had kids here for about 8 years and it’s the best it’s ever been. Amazing teachers and organized friendly front office that go above and beyond. My soon to be preschool graduate is so prepared for Kindergarten this fall✨ We will miss you Lightbridge Fort Washington!”

“Our son attended The Learning Experience for about four years, starting when he was 21 months old. We are originally from Japan, and at first we were nervous about sending him to school in a new country. Looking back now, we are truly grateful that he was able to spend such wonderful years there.

Every teacher he met was kind, caring, and supportive. The school also offered many fun events throughout the year, which our son always looked forward to.

He made so many friends and created memories that will stay with him for a lifetime. We are deeply thankful to all the teachers who took care of him and to Jessica, who managed the school with such dedication.

Now that we have returned to Japan, we already miss everyone, but we look forward to meeting everyone again someday.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

“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.”

“One day I forgot my son medicine and they kept the place open late to allow me to comeback and get his medicine, This a wonderful place thanks to jack ms Fatima & Ms Charlene GREAT STAFF LOVE THIS PLACE”

“Our kid was at the Learning Experience from 2024-2026 and we thought they did a great job of taking care of her. It was clear that the staff loved her and there were good behaviors she brought home that we knew she learned at daycare. We appreciated the photos we got of her during the day. It was a great experience for her and for us!”

“I attended this school starting when I was 3 years old to 5 years old..I graduated in the spring of 1997. My class was the first class to graduate in the building on Rising Sun Avenue…

I have so many memories of going here when I was little that I hold in my heart forever. The teachers and the therapists were always so nice and supportive.

Thank you for being the stepping stone to my life as a child and helping me become the man I am today!

“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 first time here and went specifically to see their Red Trillium. I was ecstatic, as I winded up finding them on the Ravine trail which was a nice work out. I went a little too early in the Spring season as not much had emerged, except a few Trillium and Virginia Bluebells. I would wait till the 2nd or 3rd week in April, as I bet the wildflowers are much more in bloom.”

“My 2 year old daughter goes here and I love it!! My daughter loves coming to daycare , she cries when it’s time to leave!! All the teachers and director are good!!”

“10/10 experience from the place, staff, setup. It was perfect, my son turned 1 and we had his party here. They say there isn’t parking but there is street parking or 1 block away a nice parking lot”

“Learning my way is an exceptionally great center. The nurture and care my child received put my mind at ease. Special thanks to Ms. Yonna & Ms. Keshia for all they do for the children.”

“The staff there are incredible ❤️❤️❤️ they send updates throughout the day of my children and the activities. Gives me a big reassurance my child is safe and learning new things !! My 3 kids love it there !! I appreciate how the staff goes above and beyond for the students and parents”

“Our baby currently attends children’s village, since 15 mos, and we cannot speak more highly of a program in the Philly area. Not only do they have a dietary program that is filled with nutritious, culturally diverse foods, but the teachers there are like handing your child off to a second family. My daughter LOVES her teachers, they give us daily updates, and her curriculum is always changing and age progressive. The cost and flexibility of the hours are fantastic, but the best thing of all? Knowing that you can safely and loving use your Children’s Village community to foster growth, love, and independence.”

“Brightside is an amazing daycare if you send your kids here they’ll be loved. The teachers are very attentive and involved with the parents. I especially love how they clean the classrooms everyday. I would highly recommend sending your kids here.”

“I loved this school from 1946 to 1953. Such pretty girls, not fully appreciated at that time. Alice K Liveright was our principal - may she be remembered with love. Miss Bradley was my beloved first and second grade teacher. I could not submit this review but that she taught me to read and write.”

“My name is Amber I have went to this day care but now I dont go there anymore but all I know is that this day care help me. I am now graduating from 5th grade so if teacher sandy sees this HELLOOOO I WILL VIST SOME DAY!!!!!!!??????
Love and kisses to my supporters that helped me in this daycare.THANK YOU!”

“We’ve been incredibly happy with our experience at Bambi daycare. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcome and confident that our child would be in good hands. The caregivers are warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Our child especially enjoys the arts and crafts time and outdoor play. We’ve also seen noticeable improvements in social skills and early learning milestones since starting. Communication is excellent they update us by sharing photos and any concerns are addressed promptly and professionally. The facility itself is clean, safe, and well maintained. Overall, we highly recommend Bambi to any parents looking for a trustworthy and caring environment for their little ones.”

“I absolutely love this place. My daughter feels comfortable with all staff and most of the staff treats her as if she’s their own. Also Ms.Moe is amazing at also checking on parents and making sure we are good as well as the children!!! The staff literally has taught my daughter to be so dependent and she’s talking pretty good now and she’ll be 2 in a few months. Me and my family greatly appreciate everyone at this location!!!”

“My daughter has been with Ms. Sheena for over a year and she loves her. She is patient and always communicates what my child is learning. We love Brightside ❤️”

“My son was in this daycare for a littler over a year. I recently withdrew from the daycare due to a career opportunity out of the Philadelphia area. My son enjoyed the school and was very comfortable with the teachers. I didn’t have that concern of “who is around my child”. Every morning the teachers and director greeted us, he would happily run and hug them soon as he stepped foot in the school. What I liked most was that my son was around children who looked like him. The daycares in the county, didn’t have many kids who looked like him. Ms Queenie and Ms Brown made the transition easier for us once there were some internal changes within the facility. I’m new to the world of parenting, and his former teacher and director informed me IEP’s and how beneficial those resources are to children. My son’s speech has progressed greatly due to the care of the employees here. The older kids adored my son and gave him hugs during pick up, they even knew his name! It felt like a family here. This school had the best cultural value than any other school I had him in. The one thing that could be improved, I believe would be the paper daily sheets, which tracked the child’s daily progress. I would prefer digital daily sheets available through applications accessible by mobile device. Thank you Brightside!”

“Been good having my girls here since new management started and I have no complaints. Safe clean and professional environment currently. They’re good with me as long as no thefts and my kids are in no danger/harms way…the older kids teach my 5yo new dance moves everyweek lol ?? Good at retrieving missing items, great meal plans and professional employees”

“I have worked here for 3 months and I absolutely loved it here my bosses are amazing I love the kids like they are my own I recommend any body to bring ur child here”
