I am an employee

The owners of this daycare do not care about the safety of the children. Please be careful and ask questions if you choose to send your child here. They will lie and do anything to to make money.

Owner response : We are owned and operated by Kimberton Fire Company. We also have never had anyone with your name work at our center in Phoenixville. There are several ABC 123's around and we are not the one you wanted to leave a review for.
