★★★★★Brian ThompsonMy 3-year-old went to Kids on 12th for camp when my family spent a week in the Philly area last summer and had such a great time, coming home every day smiling and talking about the activities. I loved the positive energy every time I stepped into the room, and I got that same vibe from talking to Sharon as well as the other staff. Everybody seemed so happy to be there. Definitely keeping this in mind if we ever move to Philly or spend time there another summer!
★★★★★Leora CohenKO12 is a truly joyful place with incredible teacher retention and a staff that clearly loves what they do. We switched our child to KO12 from another preschool, and she is so happy! The program is well run, child-focused, and offers plenty of outdoor time and space to run around in their amazing facility. The staff takes the time to get to know every child personally, which makes such a difference. We are enrolled in the Pre-K program and have also sent our children to the summer camp. Our kids love KO12, and we do too!
★★★★★Patrick SignoretOur daughter attended KO12 for kindergarten and two years of summer camps. We loved it! The teachers and staff are loving and meet your child where they are, and we think our daughter got a great kindergarten education despite being a little younger than 5 years old when she began. They go out a lot during both the regular school year and in summer camp, walking all over to nearby parks, squares, and pools.
★★★★★Emily StantonWe felt so lucky to find kids on 12th for aftercare & parents night out! The CEO & teachers are so amazing, professional, warm, and friendly. At pick up the kids are having so much fun. The center is big, fun, & feels like home for the kids. My son is always happy there. Can’t recommend them enough!!!
★★★★★Carolina EscobarWe are so grateful to Kids on 12 ! When our original childcare plans fell through last minute before a vacation, they stepped in and welcomed our son with open arms. The facility is spotless, the teachers are wonderful, and our son absolutely loves going there. It's such a relief knowing he's in a safe, clean, and caring environment. Thank you for being there when we needed it most! Five stars all the way!
