King's College Early Learning Center 177 North Main Street, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701

"My daughter Kinny has been going here since she was 3 months since they have come under new management it has gone completely down hill. They closed my daughters class with no notice not even allowing her to say goodbye to her friends and teachers. Ms. Maggie and Ms. Ruth did an amazing job with her and wish my daughter would have been able to say good bye properly. Now I am without care and have been waitlisted for most quality daycares. If any parent from the young toddler day care reads this and is interested in setting up a farewell play date for the kiddies please let me know."

"Avoid if you don’t want to be scrambling at the last minute looking for alternative childcare because they cannot properly staff their center. My child had been going to kings college early learning center since he was 3 months old (current 1.5 years old). Kings hired on a company (ABC kiddie Kampus) to run the center and it has gone down hill ever since. To start, this week they told us on Monday that they were going to have to shut the classroom down for the week due to staffing shortages. Ok - fine, we found alternative coverage for the week. Then on Wednesday they told us they are shutting down the classroom for the unforeseeable future due to staffing shortages. With wait lists at every daycare we are now scrambling trying to figure out what to do. This isn’t my only complaint. Since ABC Kiddie Kampus has taken over the quality of food provided has significantly declined. They provide cereal for almost every breakfast meal, afternoon snack is usually animal crackers and juice. We’ve voiced our concerns about the food and they said they would look into it, but nothing had changed while we were there. They used to provide daily updates about what my child would do for the day. When the new company took over we were lucky to get an update twice a week. I really hate to write a bad review because I will say there were 2 teachers (Miss Ruth & Miss Maggie) who worked very hard, were so kind, and loved my child which makes me sad that this company is putting the center in such a negative light. But at the end of the day this center is now a poorly run daycare with issues that need to be addressed and it doesn’t seem like this new company cares. Also beware.- some of the positive reviews you see on google were written by staff members (not actual parents who had their kids at the center)."

"I have had two children in the center for the past 2 years. I researched many child care facilities in my area, and Bright Horizons is the absolute best for working families! The center is safe, secure, organized and have been very flexible in meeting my family's needs. The teachers and staff are caring, and professional. As a teacher myself, I appreciate the structured curriculum. My oldest was more than prepared to begin Kindergarten this year! The transition to KG was seamless for her, and her teacher commented on how much prior knowledge she came into KG with! My children absolutely LOVE school and I give all the credit to Bright Horizons at Kings College!"

"The Bright Horizons at King's College Early Learning Center is fantastic! The obvious convenience with location is ideal, but the relationships that have been built with our children, teachers, and directors are unbelievable. Our kids love coming to school everyday and learning something new. We can't say enough about the experience we've had here and highly recommend this location to parents in the future!"

"I enrolled my 3 kids at this Center after a bad experience in another Center. I was very anxious about having to chose another daycare! I was welcomed at the door by the Director with a smile, and I immediately started to feel some relief to my anxiety. I was given a tour, I was not rushed, and all of my questions were answered. That was in late 2015. We have attended this Center ever since! The staff here is amazing! They have an honest desire to see their students achieve goals, and be as prepared as they can to begin Kindergarten. Not to mention the Preschool Graduation this Center holds for these children is breathtaking. The teachers, and the Director are more like Family! This is an exceptional Center!!"
