Clean facility, great communication, and quality environment for any child. Ms. Stacey has been long-time teacher of our daughter, and they share a lovely bond. Great staff at the front desk as well, always smiling and positive which helps with a great start every morning, for both baby and us parents! Thank you!”
“Magic memories is a wonderful daycare. My son has been going there since he was 3 months old and he loves it there. They welcome him with big smiles and hugs, all the staff there is so friendly. The new directors are such a improvement , they have made the place a way better place. I will continue care here as long as my son can be here ! Thank You for everything you do Magic Memories Plymouth Meeting !!”
“Our three children have attended East Norriton KinderCare for about a year and a half after switching daycares. Right from the onboarding process, both directors Erica and Alisha have been welcoming, helpful, and an overall pleasure to interact with. Our kids are thriving in their respective classrooms. Our twin daughters started in the infant rooms with Ms. Vicki, Ms. Shumaila, Ms. Theresa, and Ms. Suada and received the most loving care. They have moved to the toddler rooms with Ms. Rosa, Ms. Bryana, Ms. Heather and Ms. Dana and have absolutely thrived in all developmental milestones. We are confident they will be fully ready for the next room change. As a twin mom, I fully appreciate our girls being treated as individuals. Our son started in the 2's room with Ms. Kate, Ms. Siobhan, and Ms. Dana and has since had Ms. Keshia, Ms. Katie, and Ms. Lauren in preschool and Pre-K1. He has also shown tremendous growth in the past year and a half. We have nothing but amazing things to say about all of the teachers, floater staff, and directors. This place has become family to us.”

14 W Evergreen Ave, Philadelphia“Working with Andy Snover at MJ Test Prep was a great experience. With Andy's help, I increased my SAT score by almost 300 points. What I found particularly helpful about the process was the comprehensive review of every kind of problem seen on the exam. I had access to so many practice packets and exams that I felt I had mastered each concept by test day.”
“A very Professional place, my son graduated from Pretend this year and he learned a lot and the teachers are very good, all the staff are always attentive and they also speak Spanish.”
“Choosing the right school and childcare for our children can be daunting, but Margaret George School and Child Care Center made this decision a breeze with its nurturing environment, dedicated staff, and robust educational programs. From the moment we stepped into the facility, we were welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere that made both us and our children feel immediately comfortable and secure.
The teachers at Margaret George are exceptional. They are not only highly qualified but also genuinely caring and passionate about children's development. Each day, they provide a variety of engaging and educational activities that encourage learning and creativity. It's reassuring to see our children excited to share their day's experiences when we pick them up, speaking enthusiastically about what they’ve learned.
The curriculum is impressively diverse, covering essential academic subjects integrated with art, music, and physical education, ensuring a well-rounded development. We've noticed significant progress in our children’s literacy and numeracy skills, as well as in their social interactions and confidence.
Safety and cleanliness are clearly priorities here. The center is always spotless and well-maintained, with protocols in place to ensure the well-being of every child. Communication is another area where Margaret George excels. The staff provides regular updates and is always available to discuss our children’s progress or any concerns we might have.
In addition, the flexibility in childcare hours has been a great help to our varying schedules, making it easier to manage our work-life balance without compromising our children's care and education.
We couldn't be happier with our decision to entrust our children to Margaret George School and Child Care Center. It stands out not just as a place for learning, but as a community that fosters warmth, safety, and growth. We highly recommend it to any parent considering options for their children's early education and care.”
“Have had 2 kids go to Goddard school. Honestly I just expected them to fingerpaint and play, but there is great curriculum that gets them ready for kindergarten. Fun, loving, and talented teachers. Plus they helped with potty training. Our campus even offers a year of full day kindergarten.”
“Every Science teacher in Philadelphia should be taking advantage of this amazing local resource! Talk about the ultimate field trip! My fifth graders had an amazing, informative and super-engaging experience. Field trips are lead by a team of expert environmental educators who have created a curriculum that is incredibly thoughtful, fun and standards-aligned.There are programs for all ages, K-12. (Preschool too!) Available topics include sustainability, ecosystems, trees, soil and many more! Grant funding was available for my Title I school, making the trip completely free! The Center is also open to the public year-round!The folks at The Schuylkill Center are absolute pros! Each person has their own expertise and specialty; they were all so knowledgeable! Our bus was met by the staff at the Welcome Center. After bathroom and water breaks, they did a circle-up to go over expectations. We separated into small groups and cycled through four stations over the course of the morning, hiking from one station to another.After lunch at the pavilion, we hiked as a group to the Forest Free Play area, which is an awesome pine grove that is set up for tree climbing, fort building and general exploring. The kids had an absolute BLAST! It was so fun!Shoutout to Teachers Sam, Sky, Jason, Declan, Amelia and all of the hardworking folks who are so dedicated to preserving a true Philadelphia Treasure! Can't wait to come back!Restrooms: Available in Welcome CenterDog-friendliness: Because this is a nature preserve, doggos cannot visit :(”
“The Godard School in Blue Bell has very good facility and safety environment. The teachers there are energetic, passionate, patient and kind to kids. The management team always keeps timely and transparent communication with parents. It's a top place for kids to go.”
“All of our children have been to Goddard Newtown Square and, having tried a few daycares with our first child, Goddard is the best and we wouldn’t want to take our children anywhere else. It is a safe, clean, fun and loving environment. The teachers and administrators are the best- always willing to listen and help anyway they can to ensure our children have the best experience.”

140 N Lansdowne Ave, Lansdowne“This church is saving lives and with a smile ,I've needed the food pantry and although I feel awkward they understand ,I love this church they practice what they preach !”
“My son loves it. He’s been going for years. No frills—don’t expect hourly updates or video footage. Reasonable rates. Willing to accommodate for schedule changes. Pre-K curriculum is on point.”
“My son is in the infant room with Miss Arlene, Miss Carol & Miss Laura! They are amazing!! I can tell they really care about my son. They always give detailed reports about his day!!”
“My child has been attending for a few weeks and already I am so impressed with how this center is run. This place runs so professionally and efficiently. They offer meals and snacks. The communication is very good. It’s easy to reach someone at any time during the day. The center itself is bright, clean and fun. The staff are truly the best part. Everyone is friendly and warm and genuinely care for the children. I feel very comfortable leaving my child with them. I heard this place has been around for thirty years. The experience really shows.”
“This center is not the most impressive when you tour the facility, but that’s not what makes this center special. The classrooms are well stocked and the educational and creative activities they do each day continue to engage my child in learning. We receive pictures and videos each day which helps us talk about the day with our child. I am grateful that they have no potty training policy as our child has been delayed in that milestone which has blocked them from other educational opportunities at this most crucial age for learning. The teachers are wonderful and the center director, Sarah, responds to all emails and questions as well as greets each child by name every morning. We have had a few issues (unrelated to school) and the open and honest communication with Sarah helped us figure out a solution and feel confident returning to school.”
“My daughter has thrived at The Giving Tree! We have been so happy, it feels like we found a family with Ms Shante and Ms Louise. They are great communicators- no easy feat during the pandemic. The teachers share videos and updates on the classroom app and seem to really know my daughter- even if they aren’t her primary teacher! The center is clean and offers so many places to play- the Mini Gym is a great asset. They also have enrichments with music, gymnastics, librarian visits and field trips. My girl loves learning through play and has grown so much during her time at TGT.”
“The staff here is amazing !! Everyone works together and welcomes kids with smiles and grace ! My baby went from not wanting to leave me to not wanting to come home ! If you want a family feeling for your kids this is the place !”
“My son has been going to Kindercare since he was 2 and we had to switch daycares due to the pandemic. He has absolutely loved it there and is excited everyday to go! Miss Sarah is a wonderful director and is there everyday whenever I have a problem or need anything. He also has had many caring teachers that go above and beyond for him like Miss Tori who seems to be in every room when needed! We love seeing all the teachers smiling faces at drop off and pick up and we always feel at home when walking in the door! I would recommend this daycare to anyone who wants a great connection with the people watching your child everyday!”
“Couldn’t have been happier with Bright Horizons. They made everything so easy, and I was always sure that my baby was being taken care of. He was happy and challenged with their curriculum. Cannot recommend enough.”
“My son has attended this location since he was five months old and is currently two. The Director and Teachers are fantastic and do a phenomenal job loving and teaching him. At the tender age of two, my son speaks on the level of an almost three-year-old. If you want to feel comfortable that your child is loved and educated, send them to this Brightside location. They won't disappoint you!”
“I can't rave enough about this school. From the teachers being the priority, to the building being updated, to the security, to the education, to Miss Lisa and Miss Deanna, to the genuine care given to every child. My son's infant room teachers are true professionals at what they do. Starting with Miss Stephanie, and then to Miss Stacy and Miss Skylar and the addition of Miss Sarah. They help you raise your children, reach appropriate milestones and create an environment of learning, kindness and care. My son is happy at his school and is getting the resources that he needs to develop into a positive, intelligent, kind member of society. My daughter went through the entire Goddard curriculum 10 years ago and now we are doing the same with our son. My husband and I laugh often that we cannot afford this school, but we do not care. Take our money. You get what you pay for and there is nowhere else that I could fathom sending my children. They set the standard”
“my son has been going here for about 3 years now and is in preschool his teacher has done slate at work with him to get him ready for kindergarten m! the staff are very nice and professional and the rooms are inviting and kid friendly. Also the director is helpful and kind”
“We've had a great experience with the Goddard School in Wayne! The teachers and staff provide a wonderful environment for learning and development. Our kids have made great friendships and been well prepared for their next steps in life.”
“My daughter has been going here for 2 years and loves going to school. She's obsessed with her teachers and the friends she's made there, some of whom we now hang out with outside of daycare. She is constantly coming home singing new songs, surprising us with smart new phrases that we didn't teach her, and we can tell that she is loved there. I pick her up at pretty random times every day and whether she's reading, at snack time, or running around in the big playground, she's always beaming and sometimes doesn't want to leave.As some of the other reviews have correctly mentioned, they did have a period of staff turnover at one point during this past year, but maybe we got lucky? It never affected our baby's love of the place and almost all of the old-faithful staff members who have been giving her huge smiles since she was tiny are still there. Plus that period of turnover seems to have quieted down and the new management certainly inspires confidence.Not to invalidate anyone else's experience, but our daughter is clearly loved, safe, and learning at this place; considering how much time she spends there, it says a lot that, so far, we have absolutely zero plans to switch. Just my two cents!”
“Can’t say enough great things about Cadence Academy! Our son started at 5 months old and is now approaching 2 years old, we couldn’t be happier with the care he has been receiving and his development overall. You can tell that the teachers and staff truly care about your child and it really does give you a peace of mind knowing your child is in good hands throughout the day. The best part is seeing how happy our son is there and how much he loves his classmates and teachers!”
