Over the next month we will be starting to confirm appointments by using email:

  • About 2-3 days prior to your child's scheduled appointment you will receive an email reminder about the upcoming appointment. 
  • At the bottom of the email you will have the opportunity to click through and confirm with us so we know that you are planning on coming to the appointment.
  • If for some reason you need to cancel or reschedule you may let us know by calling our office (215-638-0555) during normal business hours to reschedule.
  • Next time you are in the office, please make sure that you confirm or update your current email address so we can be sure that we have your correct information! 
Playground Safety

Did you know that every year more than 200,000 preschool and elementary school age children are injured while playing on playground equipment? Keep your kids safe when having fun on the playground!

  • Make sure playground equipment is appropriate for the child's age.
  • Always ensure that children are being supervised by adults.
  • The best playground surfaces are filled loosely with wood chips, mulch, sand, gravel, or shredded rubber.
