St Alphonsa's Academy 9551 Bustleton Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19115

"After looking at many many daycares in the area(and even out of the area) we were starting to notice how hard it is to find a clean, safe and warm environment for our son. One day my husband drove past Saint Alphonsa's. We called and scheduled a tour. First thing we noticed was how clean it was. We had to take off our shoes and the kids have "indoor shoes". We loved that idea. With newborns and toddlers and all the time they spend on the floor and putting things in their mouths...This was a huge relief. And the center was so clean...anyone who has even 1 child knows how hard it is to keep a room in order for an hour...let alone the day. The center is never upside down. And then there is the staff. Leaving your child all day with strangers had me so worried...but we quickly started feeling like the teachers and the center manager were part of our son's family. They are so caring and they love children and what they are doing. We could see our son's excitement to see his teachers day after day and that made us so happy and comfortable. And they are always available to discuss any concerns or questions you have. Or just to let you know how your child is doing. Another great thing is the curriculum. They are not just babysitting the children or throwing in a lesson here and there. They really take the time to teach the kids. Our son learned so much so quickly that we were surprised many days at some of the things he knew :-) Overall we could not be any happier with the decision we made in picking Saint Alphonsa's Academy. I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a wonderful environment for your child to grow up in. Leaving your child can never be easy, but knowing that they are in a safe place, in good hands and are being treated like family makes it so much less difficult. I absolutely love the Saint Alphonsa's Family!"

"My daughter needed a place to stay for the summer before going to kinder and she had a great experience at St. Al. The staff is wonderful and treated her like family, I recommed this place to anyone. They keep the play area clean and comfortable for the kids."

"My husband and I placed our 2 year son here about a year ago. We placed him here after having a horrific daycare experience at another daycare in the area. After 1 month my son blossomed so much every single teacher there loves children, they have an excellent curriculum and the children have lots of fun on top of learning. My son started off with Ms. Marcella and Ms. Kathy as his teachers. They cared for our son so well it made me want to cry, after having such a bad experience. He is now in class with Ms. Brittany and Ms. Erin at 3 years old he gets class work, he writes, counts pass 30, has sight words the list goes on. I can't praise this school enough. It is super clean, you can pack your child their own food and snacks. The arts and crafts they do with all the children go above and beyond. Over all 100% satisfied. #ILoveThisSchool!"

"Very hesitant to put my son in daycare like any mom especially a new mom. My son is nine months and started attending St.Alphonsas almost a month ago. I can honestly say I am so grateful I found them. Miss Annette, the manager, has been very helpful and understanding through the transition. The staff is great and my son is excited to go there. Everyday I pick him up he has a smile on his face. They have catered to my picky ways about my sons diet. It's hard to trust people nowadays to care for your child but I don't have any worries. I would highly recommend them. A+ in my books. Thank you to all the staff! Peace of mind is priceless."

"My 8 month old son has been going to Saint Alphonsa's now for close to 5 months, and I couldn't ask for a better experience! The school is always clean and engaging, and every teacher is so friendly and caring. It makes me feel a million times better to see my son smiling and laughing with his teachers whenever he sees them. If you are looking for a school where your child will be loved and well taken care of, I would definitely recommend Saint Alphonsa's Academy!"
