Don't waste your money on summer camp here. Teachers are unprofessional and mean, college kids who don't care. Field trips are lame, and other days they do nothing while teachers sit on their phones.
These 'teachers' are very unprofessional. There is an older teacher in the 2 year old class who is nuts. While on a tour, she was sitting at a table doing nothing and as soon as I walked in with the director she jumps up and starts singing and all the kids are just spread out across the room obviously not being supervised. I would NEVER in a million years trust my children with this woman, and I would hope they would reevaluate their staff for the sake of the children. I also agree with the other reviewer, how are these children to learn? All i heard when touring the preschool room was SCREAMING children in the karate room.
What an impressive center! And a great staff. I have worked with many of them in my efforts to build technology skills with the children. Some of them have run centers in a previous position. This center brings such excitement to the children. See my video at www.computerexplorers.com/lehigh-valley-berks-county/ bottom left to see how much.
Active learning centers in Fogelsville was a huge disappointment. While waiting to go on a tour, I overheard the directors gossiping very negatively about one of their employees. Definitely NOT impressed!!! Also, the rooms are separated by very thin wall dividers? How are children supposed to learn when they hear the screaming from 'karate' right next to their classroom?
