House At Pooh Corner, Philadelphia PA

I live next to this day care I have noticed that the kids are kept outside all day, it very load and kids a only being watch by one employee, I talked to one of the employees she was very rude, after I complained about the kids being kept outside all day from 8 to 4 theses kid are outside all day with barely any supervision. I would not allow my kids to go to this day care I don’t feel the workers know how to take good care of these kids, plus it’s in a residential area.

This place is a facade of quality that does not exist. There are no learning centers and minimal learning material. The staff are treated poorly and the owners don't respect the parents. The only special thing about this this place are the families that make up the community. Other than that they have nothing else to offer. Don't waste your money to have your kids pay with old broken toys and milk crates. Do yourself a favor and look for quality care who actually respect you.

This place is horrible. The teachers are great and some are caring but I was there for awhile and some of the teachers are low skilled and are just okay with developmental skills. But the director, is absolutely the worst. She is not kind. She is pushy, controlling and condescending. If she has your money or disagrees with you on anything she will treat you very poorly. Before I left, I spoke to a number of parents that absolutely despise her but stay only because they like a teacher or two and/or they don’t want to disrupt their child’s time there. She is a very nasty person. If you start there, you will see this via her overbearing rules and constant emails. It’s seems like your being informed and helping the “community” but the messages get demanding (insert harassing to “do things correctly”) and condescending and the rules get weirder. This woman should not be in the child care business. And the place is just not that clean. Kids usually get sick but kids get sick all of the time here because it’s old floors, furniture, and carpet. And your paying top dollar. You don’t know how bad this is until you go somewhere else. I’m at a new more welcoming day care that’s super clean and the staff all have degrees in child development and I can’t believe the difference. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my enemy. Beware.if I could give this less than 1 star I would.

I cannot begin to express the incredible impact Pooh Corner has on our 3 children who attended there, or on our whole family. It is an amazing school with real learning based on the children’s interests, true love for our kids, and a built-in community of the coolest parents and teachers around. We moved too far to keep going there, but we miss it every day.

Really disappointed by this place. I was excited for my son to start and pay deposit of $400.00 to hold his spot. I got a job opportunity in Virginia and told the director about it, straight up she told me it was not refundable. After couple conversation, she told me that if she finds a family to fill the spot she would refund the deposit. 2 months later, I checked and she told me that she was still trying to fill the spot which I do not believe. We have been on the waiting list for almost a 1 year and suddenly there is no family to fill the spot because she doesn't want to refund the deposit? Well, as of today I did not get my money back. Moving out of state is expensive and even that she was not understanding to at least refund part of it which I suggested. Thank you for that. And I heard that I am not the only one.
