Schools in Southampton, PA

“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!”

“My daughter who is almost 3 has been going to Alphabet since she turned one. At first I was nervous as any parent would be but the staff and director Olga have always made me feel better about any and all concerns I had. The staff is extremely kind and active with kids from putting on shows to coloring and day activities my daughter became obsessed with day care. The food is also great it is organic and made fresh . On the weekends my daughter always asks about day care because she is super excited to go and that makes me feel so happy with the day care I chose.”

“My child has been at COA, Southampton for 3 yrs now! I would give them 5 stars every year she has attended this daycare/pre-school. She is full time, 5 days a week for 9hrs-11hrs a day.
In addition, my daughter has special needs and has theripst coming and going all week long. The daycare directors, Lena and Shawna have been nothing short of supportive and compasionate along the way. Thank you
And special huge thanks to teachers at the core foundation of my daughter growth! Ms. Rachel as her very first teacher and still so supportive. Kaylin and Tori who spent so much extra time during a difficult transitional time with my daughter. Giving her the extra love and attention to calm her and protect her from harm. Ensuring she was fed when she could feed herself and just being amazing support with commicating information to me, her mom. Jenna who kept my daugther giggling and happy when she couldn't sleep! Ms. Dilruba, her current pre-K school teacher, for pushing Emma to sit and read, for spending so much time on back to school night with her dad and I. And for just being your amazing self.
To all the other teachers, evening staff in City Place, Pre-K A & B. To the interns that come back every holiday season. THANK YOU!! Literally, I have tears in my eyes now. You are all amazing and forever in my heart and my daughters heart. One more mention, Ms. Katie who left us to move to another COA, but still has her own child at this day, your amazing too.
Now, to the public and potential new parents reading this review. Yes, I really would rate them 5 stars for 3 years straight. Camera's for viewing your child are great, especially when your stuck at work and stressing you need to get your child. A few click on the keyboard and you can see that more often than not, your child is still running around happy not even noticing your late. Even though you can not zoom, you can still see what is happening. Most day cares do not have camera's. Ms. Shawna and Ms. Lena are attentative and responses with any concerns, questions, etc. Teachers have responded to questions on weekends and after hours. They also have extended hours, summer programs, before school and after school drop off.
This daycare has 4 Keystone Stars, google that! Keystone stars are very hard to receive and are provided by the state.
I highly recommend this daycare!!!”

My kid goes here since she was toddler. Love that teacher will always help and find a way to connect with your child. Big plus home cooked meals. The way they teach kids is always fun for the kids and also professional. Starting from pre k they also provide trips for them and I think it’s great ! Overall I’m happy with this place.”
