★★Irene DuswaltI don't have children who go here so I can't speak on the quality of it as a daycare/Camp but I will say whoever plans the field trips is very inconsiderate. There's been multiple occasions where this facility has done field trips to the free events at the library that have very limited capacity. There is no reason a camp group needs to attend a free event at the much too small library that has a capacity of 25 kids to make a terrarium or a time limit of an hour for all of the kids to read to a dog. I'm sure parents pay tuition for their children to attend these camps, would it be so hard for the camp to make their own terrariums on site? Can they not contact the organization with the therapy dogs to have a read to a dog event for themselves? I'm sure they could even coordinate with the library to host their own events in the meeting room. No, instead they make it so that other people get turned away from library events.
★★★★★Chad GirnunAmazing Staff! They do a great job at what they do and genuinely care about the girls that go there!!!!
★★★★★Linda StantonUnique caring staff creating Educational Time to Empower Children
★★★★★Jeanne MitchellGirls Place is the most amazing place! My daughter has completely blossomed here, growing from a very shy girl to an extremely confident young woman. The staff is truly like family and treats each girl ( and my son ) as if they are their own. Each day the girls are learning life skills to help them in future. They are learning to help others by performing service projects for the comunity as well. I just can't say enough great things about this place and how it has changed our lives. Hugs abound ...... what kid couldn't use a few more hugs?
★Rosemary ConigliaroDANGER! My child was screamed at, bullied, taken on a field trip I asked not to have here on, and had an asthma attack and no one knew. I pulled her out immediately. She was there one week and a half day! I asked for my money back and was told I had to wait til the end of summer. Please think twice before taking your child here. They are cheaper than other places, but it is NOT worth your child's life! If I had not shown up when I did, she would have been on here way to the ER!
