This is actually a good place to send your children, but not to be an employee. I recently left my job there. Everyone is so cool and so nice except for a mother and daughter who work there together. They are so rude and act like they are so much better than everyone else. They make everyone uncomfortable and just don’t know how to be friendly. The daughter is definitely on some sort of power trip there or something. But other than that I would recommend sending your kids here
So this is actually a good place to send your children, but if you are going to be employee try elsewhere. There is a mother and daughter who work here and both of them are the most unfriendly people I have ever met they think they are so much better than everyone else. They were the reason I left. It’s a shame because everyone is cool but those two make everyone uncomfortable
I have sent all 3 of my children here. The staff here is nothing short of wonderful. They are caring, kind and treat the children with a great deal of love and care. The staff at LDS have kept our children feeling safe and cared for each and every day they have attended. The LDS family has been part of my family for 6 years and counting.
do not send your child here!! As someone who has worked here your children are not safe!! they will leave 5 month old babies with untrained staff alone!! Not at all safe or professional, not even going to go into the aggression they show the older kids when they do anything slightly wrong. Not okay go somewhere else there are a lot of safe daycares in the delco area and this is not one of them!
This daycare has big windows in classrooms and classrooms are big enough for 20 children. Also they have two great playgrounds. My son attend the preschool class since January 2014 (in another schools he had to wait until September for preschool). This school is doing great job!! My son knows many songs, alphabet, he may write letters and he likes this school. Everything is clean there. All teachers are very friendly. They always answer me by cell phone or email. They are very flexible with everything. They have only one star now but I have learned many schools before I have found this nice place. This one is the best.
