★★★★★Gluten-free santiagoMotor skills, social behavior experience, education, troubleshooting, and daily challenges. This is the best place for your child to thrive. The staff, are incredibly passionate about what they do, and they do it well, I have witness to the growth of my child's maturity, and abilities to solve complex problems with ease. If you really care about your child's foundation, invest in this level of care. You wont regret it.

★★★★★Richard KLocated on St. Bernadine Street adjacent to Alvernia University, The Nature Place can be easily found inside Angelica Park. This unique new building was opened in the fall of 2017 and it houses the headquarters of Berks Nature. This non-profit organization has been operating in Berks County since 1974. The parking was free. After parking my car I explored The Nature Play Zone. This section is set up for children. The kids enjoy the water pump. Next stop was the outside of the Nature Place. The flowers attract different bees. I have never seen a green bee before today. After that I went into the build and was warned that there were turtles running around. They were two on the loose but being watched by the staff. The turtles were so cute (see pictures). After that I was given a brief tour of the building. I saw the “bird glass”, classrooms, and the gift shop. After the tour I went outside and explored the beautiful grounds. There are trails which offer a close up with nature. There is also a teaching garden. Berks Nature offers its Eco-Camp for children. It has different programs for various age levels of children, very impressive indeed. I wish I live closer. I’d be there every day except Sunday and Mondays because they are closed.
